GOD'S GIFT
Teen Boy
The day we are born on this earth
until the day we leave in the hearse
you realize that deep inside
there is a gift that is full of pride.
It is up to you to find the real you
the gift that is deep inside you
the gift that will lead you to success
the gift that makes you the best.
Be the best at what you do
because you never know
when dreams will come true
And when it does come true
you'll know what to do.
Because God gave us all a gift
we've had the gift for years.
It's up to you to find your gift.
Poems written by youth at Denney Juvenile Justice Center in Everett, Washington.

Out With the Old
OUT WITH THE OLD
Teen Girl
Out with the old
In with the new
I'm getting rid of all my anger.
I'll stop fighting with you.
I never hear you say, "I love you."
And to hear you say
"You miss me"
is too good to be true.
Out with the old
In with the new
I'm getting rid of all my anger

Changing
CHANGING
Teen Girl
Out with the bad
In with the good.
No more doing crimes
and kicking it in the hood
Need to drop all the drugs
and quit trying to be a big thug.
No more regrets of all the things I've done
I need to unwind
I'm so done.
