‘Round The Corner

2003 (6th Grade)

Hey you, what’s going on
What’s going on, what’s going on
Don’t you know my plans
Fo-o-or to-da-a-ay

I plan to walk around
Walk around, walk around
Every single corner that I ca-a-an
In o-one day

Then I will walk back home
Walk back home, walk back home
I will see you
And then I will sa-a-ay

[Chorus:]
Hey you, what’s going on
I’m heading around the corner
Why don’t you walk with me
Around the corner
The only place that I’m heading now
Is around the corner
Want to come to-o-o-o-o

And I said

[Echo:]
Round the corner
And round the corner
And round the corner
Then right back home

[Echo:]
Round the corner
And round the corner
And round the corner
Then right back home

Is all that I’m doing

[Chorus:]
Hey you, what’s going on
I’m heading around the corner
Why don’t you walk with me
Around the corner
The only place that I’m heading to
Is around the corner
Want to come to-o-o-o-o

Best Friends Forever

We are best friends forever
Even though sometimes you make me glad
And sometimes you make me really sad
I know you didn’t mean what you said
But you weren’t thinking ahead
To what would happen to me
Can’t you see?
You made me really sad
Will I ever be glad?
I look around
I hear the sound
“I’m sorry,
Best friends forever?”

Note: This month I’m dedicating to sharing many of my earliest poems and songs from elementary and middle school, which I previously overlooked. Despite not being my best work, they laid the foundation for the writer I’ve become. It’s important for me to acknowledge this part of my history and its role in shaping my journey as a writer.
