That girl

A broken heart,
A broken soul.
No where to run,
No where to go
An empty heart,
An empty soul.
She has no one,
She’s all alone.

Every night she sits and waits,
Every night she seals her fate.
Who can she talk to,
Who can she trust.
She sits and cries,
As dawn turns to dusk.

A broken heart,
A broken soul.

Laydii Diamond-Imagine

See I Just Wish The World Could Close Their Eyes For One Second,
And Imagine What This World Could Be Like
Imagine There’s No Hating,
My Mind Is Slowly Escaping,
Your Telling Me That I’m Dreaming,
But Still your Thinking The Same Thing,
Imagine People Living, Uniting,
They Go Existing You Listening,

DESCRIPTION OF THE MOOR

It was a gloomy, dismal night. The craggy rocks stood out as the wind
howled over them. Creepy mist, which looked like fingers, slowly crept out
in front of me. A spectral creature appeared in the distance as I looked
around cautiously. I stopped! The beast, that had red fiery eyes, seem to
disappear in the far mist.

As Dora was still in complete shock to what has happened to her husband, in a way she was happy because there was no more of his vile commands. Also she has a whole patch of gold right next to her.

Mrs Phillips has been exploring "viewp points" with her Year 8 pupils. This piece of work investigates the different opinions and views that can be expressed about women playing hockey.
