Parents

Author's Note: So many people take advantage of their parents and are always complaining about how their parents are so mean and annoying and how they never let their kids do anything that they want to do. If you think that, there are actually people in the world that have it worse than you. This poem has two different perspectives in it; a view from people hate parents and a view from people that love parents. See if you can figure out which is which.

Parents--
People in this world;
Horrible.
Everyone that I know despise them,
Or maybe it's just me.
Purpose is to-
Ruin lives

Parents--
Human beings of this world.
Can't imagine life
Without them.
No idea how to live
Without them.

Parents--
Stuck here in my life
Making it more inadequately than it has been.
Somebody help me;
Please.
I can't deal with this any longer.

Parents--
Characters in a storybook of
Life
Ones we seek for help
When we hit
A bump
In the Road
And can't figure it out
Alone.

Parents--
Wish they didn't control and
Just take over.
No point of them here;
Leave already!

Parents--
Expect you to not control me
Completely-
Only when necessary.
But when you take over,
I realize why,
And thanks is all I can give back to you.
Please don't ever leave my side.
I need you.

When people mistreat their parents, they honestly don't realize what they are doing. Parents are only doing their best to give you what you wish for, but when needed, they take over because of some important -- yes, important -- reason. Don't think about the bad things that parents do to you -- think about the good things that they do for you.

Sour Gummy Worms

Author's Note: My friend Alli Quartaroli and I were at our soccer game and we were talking about this one evil girl on the Kettle Moraine team named Julia, and we got to some weird topics. One of these sayings to go with the topic was "Eat my gummy worms!!!" The next day, she brought me gummy worms, and this poem was one of the things that came to mind when I said that line with her.

Sour gummy worms--
So sweet
But yet each little sprinkle of the dust
Makes it sour enough
For a weak person like me
To think that these are sour
But delicious to eat.

So much better than normal ones--
Those are just too plain and
Not Enough
To satisfy one's craving
Of something sour
Like some sour Skittles
Or like a sour gummy worm.

Other candy doesn't have the same excitement to me--
When I taste the sourness
Of each individual sour gummy worm,
There is a different feeling each time.
But when I eat a Laffy Taffy
Or something else
I get disappointed because
It is not a sour gummy worm.

Sour gummy worms are amazing--
Now whenever I think of
Eating a sour gummy worm,
Some things come to mind.
Everything from feeding the crave
To "EAT MY GUMMY WORMS!"
