Two Poems by Mark Agrawal, Grade 11

THE RIME OF A NEW STUDENT
 
New place with new people
I try to gain identity
flushed with confidence
aim to be carved in graffiti
 
I cherish a few moments
some are really hard times
but all I wanna do
is make things go fine
 
no matter what will happen
I'll fist my hand
do justice to my efforts
all sorrows now banned
                I'LL DO MY BEST!
 
Red roosters will come 
blocking my way
I'll act as a tiger
they'll be my prey.
 
It's my time now
to show this grade
I'm here with a turn
to burn the stage
              ATTITUDE MATTERS!

NEW DAY!
 
with this cheerful rain
life seems to turn green
I see a world
beautiful as a dream
 
it is a world of pearls
everything so pure
sorrow hatred loneliness
here everything has a cure
 
no matter where you come from
and what you have done before
you'll get a chance now
to sweeten your sour
 
don't be shattered 
you got another life
there are really few
who get this ride
 
it's my time to go now
brightness is coming its way
the sky with rainbow
starts your new day!
 
-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
