It was a cold night

And it was filled with fright

And as the music played

 I started to get hyped

So then I wanted to dance

Up out of my pants feeling

The groove and the power to move

To succeed  to compete and defeat to the beat

As it went on I had no control over my feet

Bugging

Stop Bugging me

Really stop bugging me

I am not tugging thee

So Really stop bugging me

I am trying to read

Bugging me is not the place to be.

Darkness

My soul is in darkness

In a box and if I get

Out I get shot and bitten

By snakes.  My human

Body is living a fancy

Life while half of him is

Not.

Mi alma en la oscuridad

En una caja y si me escapo

Me disparan y las serbientes

Me muerden. Mi cuerpo humano

Esta viviendo una vida fantastica

y la otra mitad de me, no.

I'm lost in the world

In the darkest places on earth

Until I get out

Eagles

Eagles soft long wing

Long beak, hard sharp an pointy

thick claws like needles.

West Side Story

West Side Story,

 My life, my hero

 I walked, I ran

Away from you.

 Maria, my daughter

 She pushed and pulled

 To leave this home. 

She ran away, so I can get hurt.

 She said, “Please forgive me for what I did.”

My mind said, “Beat her,” but my heart said let it go.

The next day, she ran away with a boy

Named Angel

This is my West Side Story.
