Music is my comfort....

The number one thing that comforts me is music. The music depends on what type of mood I’m in, for example if I’m in a bad or sad mood I listen to Drake or Speaker Knockerz. If I am in a good mood I listen to Chief Kief, Migos, Young Thug, and Rich Homie Quan to get hype or something. PARTYNEXTDOOR and August Alsina are my favorite artists. I listen to them no matter what mood I am in. Something about music just makes me happy. I love the melodies, beat, lyrics, and rhythm; music makes me dance. Some songs make me forget things and others make me remember everything in my life. It’s comforting because music gets me more than a human being. Somehow music understands what I go through in my life, like some songs have meaning and lessons in them that is why it’s so comforting. Music is my life; I mean what’s life without music?

My name... Imani

My name is Imani and it means faith

I was named after the model Iman

She was skinny and tall with a perfect tanned face

My name is from the language Swahili

But when I get older I can name myself freely

Others like it, but I’m not a big fan

My name is so basic, it’s boring, and it’s bland

I want a unique name something that no one has

One that corresponds to my character is that too much to ask?

My name is as simple as the colors black and white-simile

Wanting my name to go with my flow as the day brings light - imagery

My family gave me a nickname, they call me Mani

Everything about it just doesn’t gratify me

My name first originated in Eastern Africa

Slowly but surely it became known in America

I respect my name and my name respects I- personification

My mother gave it to me, so it’s one thing I can’t deny

Aliens What I Would Do The Next Day

If I found out that everybody was an alien, the next day I would just pack up and leave. I’d leave at night so they couldn’t see me, then I would grab my clothes, weapons, armor, and as much food as I could and run away. I would also take a helmet for protection for my head, so the aliens wouldn’t take over my brain. I travel and travel, walk long distances until I end up on an island where there is only animals and me. I’d hunt for my own food, make myself a little hut or something, and I would call the island MANITROPOLIS. Just in case the aliens find me I would set all kinds of traps and train myself to kill them. I would also train the animals to learn how to kill the aliens too; nothing could get past me because I would have the greatest protection. I will be the queen and defeat the aliens. I would be potent; these aliens wouldn’t have anything on me.

Birthday Party Pinata

I was made by a man with a dream. I am 10 feet tall and 130 inches wide. My creator crafted me with a neon blue color of paper mache, which is a special type of paper; it’s so rare not even Michael Jordan can have it. I was made into the beats headphones, because I was so unique I already had things stuffed inside of me so people didn’t have to buy things to put in me. I had all kinds of special prizes; I had huge chocolate bars, mini sodas, Oreo’s, and much more! So one day I was just minding my own business when one day a woman stopped and looked at me. I wanted to say what are you looking at but of course piñatas can’t talk. The woman picked me up took me to the register and out the store we went. 15 minutes later we arrive at a huge house and I can see a lot of little kids running around and screaming, hitting each other and crying. To myself I’m thinking lady why am I here, but then she took me to the back yard. I spotted a sign that said HAPPY BIRTHDAY TROY! So the lady hangs me up on a tree and hands Troy the stick. He hits and hits and KABOOM! I broke open. All the kids are having a good time until FEH FIH FOO FUMP! A little fat boy comes stomping towards all the candy. He comes and pushes all the little kids out of the way and everybody’s just staring at him gathering all that candy. So I say to myself there’s always that one greedy little kid who’s just obligated to scarf down all the candy from everyone else. What a wonderful birthday party.
