Self Publishing Poem Project

Sweet California

Sweet California

The land of the palm trees

Always bright and sunny

Just a great place to be

Sweet California

I miss you very much

You’re the greatest of all time

Nobody can disagree

To publish my poem, I posted copies of it throughout UBC.I first started out at Westbrook Village.

Then I explored outside of westbrook

And then I went to the village.

And I also went around some other places such as the Aquatics center and some places I don't know

Those are all my pictures. I also gave out poems to people and some liked it and some didn't. That is my self-publishing poem project. Thank you.

Like a Car Driving

When I think of you I feel like a car driving
me over on the thigh
like I am forced to choose between pain and pain
like a mouse trapped in a corner by a cat
like having to eat nails for every meal
like being stranded on an island
like climbing a mountain, to fall back to the start after,
an atmosphere filled with poisonous gas
a relative stabbing you in the back
like jumping off a cliff, only to do it again,
like drowning, and being watched in the process,
like watching someone die, and that someone is yourself,
like having someone that betrayed you, hug you after,
like being forced to live with your biggest fear,
and see it everyday
like monsters are under my bed
like walking in a dark alleyway,
with a gang eyeing my pockets,
like getting prescribed medicine,
that makes your symptoms worse,
like getting an award,
for being a serial killer
like Oreos without milk
like drinking water,
with your lungs
like a short man,
who I had no choice to live with

A Drop of Sweat

so much depends
upon

a drop of
sweat

made from hard
work

falling into the
soil
