Choose Peace Not Violence

I remember My Dad Hes not a violent person My Dad Hes the one that stops them when they are about to fight Sometimes You can hear gun shots in the air BOOM BOOM I feel like there is a bullet fast as a flash going a thousand miles per hour through our house My Dad He says choose peace, stop violence He helps the community learn so we dont hear gunshots anymore

El Mexicano

I am a scared boy that crossed the border.
I left when I was 16 for a better future
the future looks like the past and promise
I havent seen my mom in ten years
It feels like an explosion of sadness
I have a daughter and a son and a wife now
No birthdays
No visiting nieces
No happiness
I am a scared boy that crossed the border
I came to America with my brother
I miss the animals
I miss my sisters
I miss everybody!
I am a scared boy that crossed the border

I Am An Ocean

I Am An Ocean
in the depths of me
You will see
Ten years of dancing
It feels like Im floating in heaven
I Am An Ocean
in the depths of me
You will see
me happy to be a fashion queen
good and proud as I can be
the best Mellana you will see
I Am An Ocean
in the depths of me
You will see
passion for life and being free
the girl who will jump and play happily
the girl who will care about you and me
Yes, I Am An Ocean
in the depths of me
You will see
there 2019s a lot you dont know about me
Im as deep as an ocean
These are a few things you might see

I Am A Soccer Ball

I am a soccer ball
stop kicking me
Im just a round shape
rolling on the ground
When I dont roll on the ground
Im sleeping
But when you kick me up in the air
Im flying
I feel like a superhero
But be careful
If I get hit with something sharp
I will pop
and you wont be able to play with me
anymore!

The Door

I always get opened and closed
They push, pull, and bang on me.Sometimes they replace me with someone else when I am old.
Sometimes they push a button on me and it makes a sound.
They wait and someone opens me.
They tell them to come in.
Then they close me again.
