One Percent Chance of Win
Hard to say never give up!
It's very simple when say,
But when we work on it
It's more difficult than we think.
Yet, I say never give up
Perhaps, you get,what you want,
But remember one percent chance
Too much to win!

One Hundred Percent Loser
This guy looks (and smells) like a loser in every way.
Why does he have to hang around my table today?
Right now, I wish he would turn around and go away.
For the last few days, he has been in this casino.
He is certainly nobody I would want to know.
Overindulging, he has lost every penny to his

The 5 percent
You remember the hard work and the dedication
You remember all of the sacrifices you made and the risk you were willing to take
All they see is the success
All they can say is how lucky you are and how you’ve gotten this far
It’s one thing to talk about achieving your dreams but it’s

70 percent Love, 100 percent Pretend
I gave you all of me,
But you counted only what you liked.
You held my hand,
But never held my heart right.
I poured in 100% love,
You drank just enough to stay,
70% maybe—
But I kept acting like that was okay.
We were photos with filters,
Smiles stitched on pain,
A play that fooled the crowd
But drained us behind the frame.
I pretended

Not 100 Percent Of The Time
If you can't say something nice
It's best to say nothing at all
That's going to be me from now on
My humour is often misinterpreted
Causing an undesirable reaction
I wrongly assume everyone sees through it
And that it IS simply humour
I apologize, but this is me
It has always been me to make light of situations
That are uncomfortable to deal

Percent of my Heart
My phone was at 87 percent.
The day seemed heaven sent.
Even though my friend was headed back to his home state.
I still think the day went great.
I’m at 48 percent still.
As my phone rests on that window sill.
I wonder if he thinks of me as a dusty file.
I haven’t charged my

45 percent, required'
A tarriff should be earned..When freedom is
Spurned, maybe for a year? A while.' A time.'
Till free speech and expressions can again
Here chime..Can ring..Can raise valid points
Extoll..Quite a blunt weapon, to let commerce
Take its toll.' Still by any means.' Unstifle the
Tounges, that would build and strengthen
All truths true daughters and sons.!

Forty Percent Of Our Children Now Feel Hopeless
I wake up already tired,
eyes heavy from screens and sleepless nights,
stomachs empty, wallets thinner than dreams,
parents fighting over bills, over nothing,
over everything.
at school, the hallways are battlefields,
words sharper than fists,
hands that shove, mouths that sneer,
judgment like a plague
spreading from locker to locker.
I scroll through images of perfection,
faces carved by filters, bodies built in mirrors,
wondering why

Only 2% makes it, teenage love isn't real love they say, but to me
teenage love is meeting when you least expect it
teenage love is crossing of bucket list items together, bit by bit
teenage love is dancing while its raining
teenage love is wiping her tears when shes crying
teenage love is through ups and downs
teenage love will

The 1 Percent Eough To kill Me
Reading the label on a Bottle of typical bleach states,
'kills 99% of germs''
Well that's a good thing to know
But what really concerns me
It's not the 99%?
But the 1%
That has the potential to kill me
Now I find out there are 1,438,808
On my phone?
Ahh! That's why they say you have a Virus on your

Forty Percent
Forty percent was the chance it would rain,
Which is what my phone app was predicting.
I went for my walk with my eye to the sky,
But the darkening clouds were conflicting.
I had an umbrella which fits in the bag
Where I carry my water for drinking,
So I ambled on, getting further away
And I wondered just what I

97 Percent
Have you ever wondered about this? Have you ever stopped to think…
oftentimes without even noticing…how many times a day…we blink?
I know the scientific explanation but…when I look to Jupiter and Mars
I wonder if another answer can’t be found among the stars.
When I gaze up at the twinkling stars…every time…I am enthralled…
experiencing the vastness of
