8th Grade Poems, To and From

Proclamation-Bella

A three am conversation

And the truth serum comes out

I said "Mom I want to be an artist,"

She said, "You won't afford your own house."

The next day she denied that

She ever said such a thing;

But she said it, and in my head

I will always hear it ring.

I have my path set in stone

And the building blocks have been ready.

If they come to knock it down

I know it will remain steady.

'Cause I have the passion,

And the determination,

To prove everyone's doubts wrong;

This is my proclamation!
