1st Place

Lets go climb

from time to time

up the mountain side

and we will hide

now stretch the rope

and don't loose hope

we will make it up

to an old old hut

and we will make it down

back to Bishop town.

1st Place

Live it up

Life is short, live it up

You only live once, make it enough

Respect your parents, love your dog

Don't crash your car, chop some logs

Get a job, read a book

Make a friend, learn to cook

Don't live with regrets

Learn from your mistakes

But never forget

Speak your mind but never be rude

Don't live for someone else

Just live for you

Wash your hands, love ducks

Life is short, live it up

by Macy Davis

2nd Place

Onto the sea

I sailed my boat

And prayed that it

Would stay afloat

From dawn till dusk

From dusk till dawn

In search of love

I drifted on

What happened then

I don't recall

I think it was

A sudden fall

For when I awoke

I thought I died

At the sight of an angel

In front of my eyes

But lucky for me

That was not true

For I found love

And it was you

And it was you

And it was you.

by Kayla Hubble

3rd Place

Never say love, if it really

Isn't true

Never say you do, if it really

Isn't you

Don't even make me smile

If you gonna make me cry.

Never let me live

If you gonna let me die.

You said you was in love with me

But it wasn't true.

I try to move on, but all I see is you.

by Karina Gonzalez

Honorable Mentions

Forever & Always

This is to you,

You're always on my mind, You're always in my thoughts

I hope that means a lot,

That's not all, no its not, there's more to say,

and that's I love you a lot,

I see you in my dreams, I hope you know what that means,

I'll love you

Forever and alwasy, because this is from me,

you're more than a friend,

And that's not for pretend, I'll love you forever and always,

and this love will never end.

I sit here in this place so boring so dull, thinking about all I've been through, all I've been put through, all the lies and semi-truths, all the death and all the eeriness. I sit here in this place so trifing so bland, ready to give up on life, on singing and songwriting, I think my lyrics are crap and need to be ripped up and thrown away, but everything's not so bad at least I have my memories of the time when life was easy and you weren't dead, and I didn't know how much death hurt you and how much not being able to talk about it hurt. God I hated not being able to talk about all the pain, all the confusion, all the numbness. I needed their consoling their help, to go through this numbness, this haze this absolute confusion. I sit here in this place so boring so dull, thinking about all I've been through.
