I've done

I have swum with a jellyfish,
Which cut me,
I was very frightened,
Maybe only me.
Also I've tried to parachuting,
It is not like sitting.
Once I fell down from a horse,
I got a consussion.
I've done rafting in a plastic boat,
It isn't my passion.
However, I have a thought about my future.
I'm waiting for the lion -
First, let him care me,
Second, let him help me,
A finally, let him sit by my side in the end.

No regrets

I've never done any surprising in my life
Though I always want to make thing undone
The craziest things have not come yet
But I don't want a thing to regret
I've drunk couple of shots sometime
But they never kicked me out
I would've turned to drugs, but
I know that is not right
I'm waiting for my change to arrive
Until then, I'm just living, barely alive.

The repetition of certain words is pretty good. I like the feeling you express in your poem.

When writing this greatly written poem, how did the thought of drugs and alcohol come to play in your life ?

I have been feeded by my mum,
Yeah, my mission was smiling while I was young.
Then I studied walking and easy sentences,
Now what could be easier than this?
I have improved and studied by the others
So I've experienced solitude, pain and pleasure.
I've been small, tired, weak and a winner,
It's amazing that we are so multiple.
I have flown far above the surface,
And I've swam under the see.
We should appreciate every single day
And protect our previous treats.
Once I thought I will lose somebody,
The worst thing is waste away in the infinity.
The life is cruel and now I know,
Every moment is as good as gold.

Do you like to swim? It seems to come up often in your poem.

Conjuring myself

I wear pink whatever happens
but I'm not too interested in weapons.
I hate fruits and I heard some legends
I wanna go once to Las Vegas

Sometimes I felt like I'm standing on the top of the world
At home I've got a pigeon but easier just a bird
There are some stories about me that you may heard
But trust me! I'm not gonna say about those a real word

When I don't feel like doing something
I start dancing so I'm just stunning
with my father we like humting
I'll never call you dear or darling.

Memories

I have swum in the Pacific Ocean.
The sand was really hot,
so I took my slippers off,
and run through that spot.

I survived a big storm.
We sat in a big plane.
It started to shake,
like a little plastic plane,
whit which a little boy played.

I've been followed by somebody,
somebody who I don't know.
I've been in big cities,
And I want to travel more.

I want to live in Sydney
or anywhere,
where the weather is sunny
and all that jazz.

I don't know what I want
Everyday is similar.
I like eventful days.
We're Far far away,
I heard a nightingale.
What if we were in a fairytale?

I could picture the events that were happening in the poem while I was reading it. It is truly amazing to see something like that pictured in your head. Awesome poem

Hy Jordyn, Michael, and Drew :)
Thank you for reading my poem. I'm glad you like it.
While I was writing this poem I looked for some memories from the past which I wanted to write down.
I had imagined it, then I wrote down which came to my mind. :)

Stories

I've had a hamster,
Which was killed by my father,
But in the next morning,
He came home with two sweet.
Once I've tweaked by a medusa,
It was in Tunesia,
It was in the first day,
I screamed like a new-born.
These stories are sad,
But in the same time glad,
I know I'm a silly girl,
But I'm free like a bird.

I haven't had cigars in my jaw.
But a knife stopped at my finger.
I've had a lot of hurt,
I've rescued my teacheron the street.
