Putting Yourself In Someone Else's American Dream

I’m a young woman living the American dream
working in a fast food restaurant 
this is not what I dreamed of but 
I got to be supporting my family, 
to make them proud

Working in the McDonalds restaurant is my American dream
Flipping Big Macs, Serving them, calling customers names, 
and writing on the burgers with mayonnaise
They don’t know what’s in the burgers 
so they won’t know what’s inside that will kill them 
I dropped a few burgers on the floor
I don’t tell them, just pick it back up 
& act like nothing happened, they won’t know

McDonalds is my American dream
Ice cubes from the dispensers are as cold as the winter skies
playing a role for the drinks, that are nastier then you think 
not knowing where your meat comes from 
but the workers still cooks them serve it on a bun for you
that’s my job and the American dream
nothing can beat that! 
That’s the American dream I’m living in, what about you?

Teens Life In Oakland

*A assignment was due in class. *

Every time a gun shoots
A tree looses its roots
Every time there is bloodshed
Along with it millions of tears are shed
Every time a heart is stabbed
Someone else’s life gets barren
As violence grows
Many more mothers moan
The sounds of destruction
Overpowers the voice of those
Who are innocent
Who suffer with no reason
Who beg for life
Who have heart full of innocence

Why do so much violence?
That the child’s cry cannot be heard
When his father is killed
Why do so much violence?
That a mother moans
Over her child’s dead remains
Why do so much violence
For winning any stupid battle
Which is taking lives
Of people who have wives
And mothers and children

When you can keep calm
Talk things out
Do whatever you can
To keep violence out
Because there is no sin as big as
VIOLENCE

Expressing My Feelings Towards You

when I see you, I fell. & when I fell, i fell pretty hard. 
Maybe next time I should just, watch where im going before I fall even harder. 
You're always on my mind, there's not a day where I can't stop thinking of you. 
Maybe its cause every time i think of you I remembered why i fell for you. 
I can't tell you why i fell for you or like you. 
I have no clue. Maybe its just how you are? your personality? 
Your looks or just everything else about you. 
But just remember the main point, I just fell for you.

Fun Facts

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Sunflowers are yellow
I bet you were expecting something better
but no this is just gardening facts

Loss of Innocence From a Young Youth In Oakland

Innocence was lost years ago
Not mine, but everyone around me
Some things changed
White turned to black
Friends turned to enemies
Wrong turned to right
And happiness turned to depression
Escape was nowhere in sight
But i needed more than anything to get out of here
Everyone around me was changing Yet I didn’t want anything to do with it I didn’t wanna join them, I wanted out
I was overwhelmed and felt suffocated 
Those were the years everything changed
And somehow I managed to escape it
