Be Happy

Be Happy

By Mya K. Brew

Be happy
Be grateful
You're lucky
Your attitude is disgraceful

You're always told to count your blessing
To see the "good"
Even though "good" is what's missing
Wait a minute

I lost a friend
Because of a bullet
Yet everyone says "he's in a better place"
And that's all there is to it.

If he's in a better place then why do we cry
If we are supposed to count our blessing 
Then tell me why
Why do I have to feel the pain ever time

Moms and dads even the teacher
Tell me how blessed I am like they are some preacher
I'm tired of hearing you need to be happy
When I live in a world that can't be any more crappy

Yes I'll be happy
Put that fake smile on 
Talk about the good times
Cuz I'm supposed to be happy

Be happy
Be grateful
You're lucky
Your attitude is disgraceful

We can't always feel happiness
Sometimes we feel pain
We  live in a world of such crappiness
I'll be damned to drill "happy" into my kid's brain

None of us were sure if it was the fire alarm or the lockdown alarm, so we all head out into the hall to check and no one’s out there, so we head back in and climb under our desks as is lockdown procedure. Cut to an hour or so later when a teacher bursts in and nearly dies of relief because the school was on fire and we were the only students not accounted for and half the faculty and fire department ...

What's Today?

What's Today? By Mya K.Brew "Mom, do you know what today is?" I ask with a smile. "I know today is going to be a peaceful day. Nobody will argue with their siblings today, right?" I sulk. "I'll go ask dad. Maybe he knows what today is." I skip into the living room with joy. "Dad, do you know what today is?" Dad continues to look at the TV. "No." I sulk. "Are you sure, dad?" He slowly lets out a big sigh. "I'm positive. Can I get back to my show, please?" I slowly walk away with great disappointment. Maybe Kal knows.  I tip-toe into Kal's room. "Kal, do you know what today is?" She begins the think. "No, sis. I don't." My jaw drops. "What's wrong?" she asks with concern. "Never mind, thanks anyway." She begins to think. "Mya wait I-" I close her door and walk away with more disappointment. I hope Kaden knows what today is. I don...
