Roller Coaster

“Don’t be scared; just do it!”
“I don’t want to it!”
“C’mon it will be fast.”
“But people die doing this!”
“People also have fun doing this!”
“Well, you go on without me!”
“Don’t be a cry baby!”
“Mom said I didn't have to!”
“Aw come on.”
“No.”
“We came to this park to have fun!”
“No, you came to this park to have fun! I didn't ask to come here!”
“But it’s so fun; all you do basically is sit and ride. It’s fast and lots of fun!”
“Oh really if it is so much fun you can go without me!”
“Don’t be a party pooper!”
“Stop, if you make me, I’ll cry!”
“Please”
“No!”
“Why can't you be cool for once?”
“It’s my first time!”
“That’s why I want you to ride!”
“What if it breaks!?!”
“It won’t”
“Why would you make me do this?”
“Well for one thing it’s fun. And another so you can face your fears”
“I can face it another time!”
“NO! NOW!”
“You’re so mean”
“I’m not mean, I love you”
“You’re lying!”
“It’s so high!”
“That’s what makes it fun!”
“I can hear so many screams! It’s terrifying!”
“No that’s the rush of excitement”
“You’re lying! You want to kill me, don't you!?!”
“No I would never!”
“Don’t make me go on that!”
“If you love me, you will”
“I love you, but I don’t want to go on that!”
“Please it will be over quickly!”
“Fine!”
“You won’t regret this!”
“I have a feeling I will.”

I Will Rule

I Will Rule! 

I, Hades am forced to do this?
Rule the underworld?
All because of a draw
Of course, my two brothers get the best ones while I stay hidden and feared
Dad loved Zeus more so, of course, Zeus would have the best part of worlds
At least I am the god of wealth, and my precious hat makes me invisible.
Still, how am I a god of death when I can’t even control the death?
If I am to rule this hopeless world, I shall rule with an iron fist
No one will be allowed to leave!
I shall make everyone just as miserable as I am
No one will speak; everyone will work and your souls will be mine
But how am I to rule alone-
A wife, yes a wife, no; A slave
If I can remember correctly, Zeus has a daughter
What better wife for me than her?
I think her name is Persephone- 
Yes, she will be perfect
Once I have her, she will be mine.
Oh, don’t scream- 
You will be happy ruling the world by my side-
Well, now I have a queen
Ugh, here comes my all mighty brother-
I shall make everyone bow to me,
I will kill anyone and everyone!
Now I need a loyal companion-
Dog? No it needs to be scary-
Hmm, how about a 3 headed dog with a mane of snakes and a tail of a snake
He will guard me and protect me against the fools who dare try to battle me
         He shall be lethal
			He will imprison the dead in the underworld
He will be able to see the past present and future;
I will be invincible!
My brothers will even quiver in fear at my feet-
I can see it-
All souls will belong to me, 
Everyone will quiver at the name Hades

Paper Love

Paper Love 		


Paper flowing in the wind-you have your ups, your downs, and you turn around.

You soar without a care in the world.

You are so gentle and can be easily crushed and thrown away, 

Yet, you can come back better than you were.

You can hurt people if they touch you wrong.

You may be weakened by the rain.

You might even be torn from struggles.

But keep soaring through the air,

You might even soar all the way to paradise.

Shameless

Shameless

Look into my eyes,
I love you
Forever;
I will always be by your side,
Trust me;
You are the only one for me;
Come,
Fall for my enticing words,
I will always protect you.
Lend me your heart and I will keep it “safe.”

   Now that I think about it,
I don’t want you;
Who would? 
I never said I wouldn’t hurt you.
I have found a new victim.
Thanks for the heart.
Shame?
I don’t know the meaning of the word.
