Ballad

For the past couple of weeks we have been working on ballads. And for the past 2 weeks we have been writing our own ballads.

This is my ballad.

Enjoy.

In a world that was empty, where nothing else will exist,

I was born and for eons I wished,

That I would face the sweet release of death,

I prayed “Dear God, make me take my last breath.”

One day I could sense that someone else was near,

The soul of something that used to live here,

I really needed a friend so badly,

So I made it a vessel out of junk and metal gladly.

I motioned it towards the doll of junk,

I clapped for it to come over and it walked as if it were drunk,

As time went by it got used to moving around,

but I got weaker and weaker and I fell to the ground.

My stomach was empty and my lips were dry,

the pain got worse and I started to cry,

an ocean of tears ran down my cheek,

the pain grew stronger I had reached my peak.

I said goodbye,

I don’t know why,

My eyes closed and never opened again,

And that day I left my only friend.

Angles!

My School Holiday

The School Holiday
This piece of writing tells the events that occured during my school holiday.
*spoilers ahead*
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays my parents let me stay up until 11:00 pm because I had to wake up early for the paper run the next day, but on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays my parents let me stay up until 1:00 am. On most days I kept to myself while having fun on the computer all day, but on some days my friends would come over and we’d go out on our bikes and have fun on the BMX track at Kyle Park or we just hang out at Wycola Park. One day during the holiday, my friends came over and we went to Kyle park to play on the BMX track. I went up to the huge hill, and I was hesitant at first, but I worked up the nerve to do it. I biked down the hill fast and I could hear the wind rushing by my ears. I was rolling down so fast that when I got down to the bottom I rolled up the other slope and the bike bounced. When it landed I almost fell off the bike, but I survived. I completed the course. When I got back to the top of the hill I asked Lance “Have you done it before?” he responded with “Yeah, about five times.” I did it again to try and one up him, but I didn’t want to do it a third time because I was too ‘tired’.

On Sunday the twenty second of April, I went to my little cousins fifth birthday party. Everyone had to go dressed as a prince or a princess. I obviously didn’t dress up, not because I didn’t want to, but because my parents never bought me a princess outfit. All I really did there was play with a flat soccer ball, eat ice cream, cake, lasagna, barbeque and savories and watch movies. Everyone got goodie bags with a bunch of lollies, and then we went home.

It was Saturday the twenty eighth, the second to last day of the school holidays. Me and my friends Lance, Rheanna, Nathan, Mathan and Annabelle planned to go to the movies that day to watch Avengers: Infinity War, My brother wanted to tag along too. In the morning, I was just hanging out on my computer, I didn’t do much that day until the afternoon. It was 4:00 pm and I was still on the computer. I decided to download Avengers: Age of Ultron and Captain America: Civil War, because I hadn’t watched them yet and I wanted to catch up on all the avengers movies before I watched Avengers: Infinity War. I didn’t have enough time to even finish one of the movies because they took ages to download. I ended up going to the movies without watching Age of Ultron and Civil War. When we went in the cinemas, we watched some ads and then the movie started. Two hours later I was partly sad, and mostly mad. The whole movie was absolutely amazing. But the ending made me confused and mad, and kinda sad. Me and my brother left the cinema and my dad picked us up.

When we got home I went on my computer and went on discord to chat with my friend, they told me I missed out on a post credit scene, I didn’t ask them what happened, I just searched it up on the internet. I really enjoyed the school holidays and I wish they lasted longer. I loved going to my little cousins birthday and eating the delicious food there. I also loved the movie and how confusing and heartbreaking the ending was.
