No one gives pi much thought.
Even after it has been dutifully taught.
The numerical pi goes on forever,
Like the swish of a baseball,
...

I dare you to change me, to turn me around
I'm a package already sent, a ball of string tightly wound.
I live to laugh, to love, to smile
I try to cry only once in awhile.
...

They say Love lasts forever,
That Family sticks together.
But they never say one thing,
About Friendship.
...

The constant patter of the rain,
Just assists the throbbing pain,
Inside my brain, inside my head,
That makes me think I'd be better off dead.
...

Drip, Drip, like the dew on the grass,
You can only hope that this sadness will pass.

Wet and salty flow your tears,
...

The red string connects you,
Holds you together.
To the other person, it attaches,
Acting as a tether.

Bringing laughter to children,
And smiles to adults.
...

The clouds darken and swirl around,
Depositing rain that soaks the ground.
But with a start the sun breaks free,
Shining its beauty for all to see.
...

"Life is good" those t-shirts say,
It's hard to agree when I have a bad day.
When sadness and pain follow me around,
I have an uncontrollable urge to pound those shirts into the ground.
...

All around there is so much noise,
We use words like our personal toys.
What would happen if we were all to stop?
And get so quiet we could hear a feather drop?
...

I grade my moods in colors,
To express how I feel.
Sadness is a dark, dark brown.
Happiness a teal.
...

Occasionally, but not often, you come across someone,
Who's not all about sternness, but also pranks and fun.
Who's happiness and quirkiness show most at days end,
Along with the kindness that is a huge part of this friend.
