In Me  

The dragon in me
Spreads strong fire through me
When ever I’m angry  
The bear in me
Growls as loud as possible
When ever I’m hungry  

The giraffe in me
Stretches its nose into
Other peoples lives  

The cheetah in me
Speeds with my legs
To win the race
When ever I’m jealous  

The fox in me
Is sly and quick thinking
But is lazy and quiet  

The mouse in me
Is cute and quiet
But is scared of everything  

The kangaroo in me
Is full of energy
And makes me jump
And bounce where ever I am.

To Be Alone  

To be alone
is like being a tiger
in a zoo
with no other animals
and people there
to keep you company.
To be alone
is like being a cuddly bear
locked in a box
in the attic
with only the sounds of the children
playing happily in their bedroom.
To be alone
is like a rusty
old witch's cauldron
which has been locked up and
forgotten about for centuries.
To be alone
is HORRIBLE.
