I am not sitting
Facing the mirror not telling
you about your brown eyes
when now I realized they
are brown

Don't Want to Let Go
Its Tuesday and it's snowing heavy outside and I could feel something wrong. I went outside to shovel the snow and feel my life was over. Damon got his coat, hat, mittens, work pants and boots. He shovel the 2 to 4 feet snow just to give him something to do. Damon has been thinking about his grandfather. Damon looked around as cars pass him. After Damon was done, Damon went to the back porch and stomp the cans. Damon's nose was running and he also had to make a path from the walk way to the garbage can.
Damon's mom received a call and shock her. Maybe Damon did not know what it was about. It was so cold. Damon's mom told him that his grandfather passed away. Damon was devastated and it was eating at him. Damon went to his room and sat down on his bed with tears in his eyes. On top of that, his grandfather's funeral was Saturday.
The next morning, Damon got on his knees and ask to watch over his father. His grandfather is everything to him. Damon heard his mom screaming on the phone.
"Why did you tell me he died!" asked his mother.
"Because we were doing it on purpose." said the recipient
"You bitch," said his mom.
She slam the phone down.
"Damon, I am sorry about what happen,' said his mom.
"It's okay and you don't have to blame yourself," said Damon.
Damon slept for hours because he need it. He was so drained and was at his last rope. His grades in school is bad. He had 2 F's and was sliding by. He wanted to miss school so he could take time to reflect.

What I'm Doing Now?
It's been a minute since I last write to you. I won't be here long but wanted to share about what I been up to recently. On Monday, I was in the newspaper and my picture was in there. The name of the paper is The Journal Gazette. It was me reading to the children. That night was the African American Read-In. It was so great to be there and hear people about reading what you want about your favorite history person.

Closure
Closure
Written by Daniel Williams
When me and my sister Diane got off the bus we started walking home. Brandon was driving his Ford Taurus and kept coming past us. He looked at me while he drove.
“What are you doing?” asked Brandon.
“I just came home from school,” said Derrick.
Brandon drove away and went home. Derrick wanted to follow him home but that Diane would tell dad. They walk home and got settled. Derrick plan what he was going to do.
“Dad, can I go get some candy?” asked Derrick.
“Sure,” said his dad.
Derrick did not get his candy and instead went to see Brandon. But wait a second to get his candy. But anyway, Derrick wants to get his candy and went to see Brandon. It was snowing and cold. Derrick stomps over the snow and breathe heavily.
Derrick knocks on Brandon’s door and he answered.
“Hey, Derrick,” said Brandon.
Derrick came inside and sat down on the couch.
“Let me have a coke, please,” said Derrick.
Brandon gave him his pop.
“I saw you walking past me, what you were coming home from school?” asked Brandon.
“Yes, I did come home.”

I Love It When It...
I Love It When...
I Love It When books full my head
Books that seep into my soul
I Love It When pages are turned
Pages add more chapters in the book
I Love It When there is adventure
A book I can get lost in reading
I Love It When you don't have to be loud
The book is telling about what you have been through
I Love It When books gives comfort
The book makes you stop crying and start smiling
I Love It When books are read at school in English class
I Love It When you can't stop reading
Your spirit tells you that you love reading books
Start reading!
