The Blue In You
By Juan Lenger Blue Is my favorite color I don’t see it as sadness though I see it as a sea Of endless Possibility I see it As vibrant Like the world So many different shades Electric, Navy, Light, Cerulean, Baby, Azure, Cyan, And Turquoise too. We are all different But all human We all share the fact That we are all different, But all originate from the same Blue Starting from the bottom Of the ocean To the tip Of the sky There is blue all around us They’re the people that surround us Support us Or try to sort us Boost us Up Or try to to reduce us Down We are all different Individual Some have the intent To be cruel But don’t let them Get you down We’re here for you Won’t let you drown All in this together All in this world All individuals But when united we are heard We can band together To make something better To change this big blue marble Into something you can marvel For we are all a different hue Of one massive blue That together will do wonders And it all starts with you |
How Is Your Future Heart?
By Juan Lenger Hello future. How is your heart today? Is it happy, sad, or maybe confused? Do you embrace that or push that away? Have you recovered or have you been bruised? Did it unfold the way that you wanted? Did it surprise you in wonderful ways? Did you take chances? Did you feel daunted? Do you think you give yourself enough praise? What do you think was the best use of time? Where do you think that you felt the most whole? When do you think was your absolute prime? Did you fulfill what you thought was your goal? Why do you look back instead of ahead? You still can thrive more, for you are not dead Elephant
By Juan Lenger Elephant. They chant. With their trunk, it Sounds like trumpets, With their loudness They show their proudness The largest animal, of the land. Their stature admirable, as they stand- At nine or ten feet A presence that can’t be beat Other animals can take a seat They can’t even really compete. They say their memory is great Their ears differ as a trait They have a profound intelligence And a size that is immense When it comes to this huge creature- Their trunks are their coolest feature. They can lift over 700 pounds And make all sorts of sounds. Can be used as a snorkel when they swim And is practically a fifth limb A trunk is an arm and itś a nose. It can squirt water out like a hose. And no one can really oppose, That this land animal that I chose, Is truly mighty and magnificent... Because it's a freaking elephant. |
Love like High School
By Juan Lenger
High school is like a new terrain
You come in like you know everything
You expect a certain path to be set out
You think you know what life’s all about
But High School comes along and changes
Your outlook on life, and constantly rearranges
Your goals, your values, and how you perceive
The world around you and what you want to achieve
It’s more than just a four year college preparation
It’s a transformatory experience, not just information
That will help you get a job that they deem as good,
It’s the bridge between being a child and entering adulthood
You’ll learn many lessons,
Through classes, through friends,
Through the memories you make
That’ll stick with you till the end.
You’ll try to try new things
You’ll grow and you’ll change
You won’t just end up pursuing
Whatever they arrange
You’ll become your own person
Life will brighten and worsen
There’ll be ups and downs
As you cover vast new grounds.
You’ll take your past with you
Which will mold you into
Who you will be
And what you will become
For high school is more than just a diploma
It’s a monumental period of your life
More than just a test or a textbook. So much
More than you think it will be, despite
Whatever you’ve been told, it’ll surprise you
In ways you could never foreknow.
For high school is just the start of the road
That leads to the path of knowledge and growth.
