The finish line

This is it & I am done…..

I get to take my life and run

So many choices coming my way….

Soon I get to decide what to do with my day

I have waited so long for this day to come

Counting the days down one by one…

Graduation is almost here

Too bad I won’t be shedding a tear… 

Memories which were as if they occurred yesterday,

 turn to flashes of moments that seem to fade away. 

People you once knew walk by without a clue

It’s time to move on & be an adult now

The things in High School that we all thought mattered

Like who your friends were & where you stood

Makes me glad these myths are shattered

Being myself is what I will be…

Because I am enough without all to see

This is it and this is real…

I get to live the life I want & show how I feel

The things I have learned have helped me this far

And for me that means I may have to raise the bar

I will rise after every fall 

I will rise and stand even more tall

Through it all I have love and support

With whichever path I take

Learning each day with mistakes that I make

If it is to be, its really up to me

My decisions determine my destiny 

So for now lets be real, 

This isn't anyone elses life but mine

This is my time to shine.

Be something better

Sensitive

Some say I'm too sensitive

But the truth is

I just feel too much.

Every word, every action and every energy goes straight to 

My heart. 

Be somebody

I hope I never forget

I remember playing four square

I remember scrapping my knees on the cement

I remember my first kiss under the tree by the school 

And the way the Popsicle tasted on a hot summer day 

I remember doing homework before going outside to play

I remember my brother throwing crayons at me telling me to go away

I Remember moving to to Utah because my brother had problems 

Even the car ride on the way up 

I remember getting warts removed everyday after school 

But my favorite memory's yet to come 

I will always love you

What's Micky without Minnie 

What's tigger without pooh 

What's Donald without daisy

What's me without you 

And when Elmo isn't ticklish,

And pooh bear hates honey,

When tigger stops bouncing,

And goofy isn't funny. 

Whenever pan can't fly, 

And silva never roars, 

When Alice in wonderland can't fit through small doors

When dumbos ears are small, and happily ever after isn't true, that's when I'll stop loving you. 

Shoes

I don't want to do this.

Dear A1 Creative Writing,


"People don't change, they reveal who they are". I hope that doing this doesn't change the way I like to write.. cuz ill be honest with you I don't want you to know who I am. I hate being judged. But whatever senior year and ill never see any of you again (; lol jokes but really. I know my blog isn't the best and im sorry. I wish that I could make the creative juices flow more easily but I can't. There is so much going on in my life that the last thing I think about is my blog post. At first I tried to force my self to be creative and then I just gave up. People have their own talents and unfortunately writing is not one of mine. I wish it was. Why is it so hard to be creative? I don't understand and it honestly pisses me off. Although I wasn't the greatest writer I found this fun for me because I was able to find things that I liked and that stood out to me. I DONT WANT TO BE LIKE ANYONE ELSE. I know people in this class that work on their blog post forever, good for you. But blogs don't mean everything to me. SCREW THE VIEWS, SCREW THE COMMENTS. They don't matter. Im not one to stand in front of the class, to read a poem in front of the class, or to even raise my hand. I sit in the back and don't usually say a word, people don't even know that I exist anymore. I go to hair school and this is my only class. I hope this doesn't surprise you or disappoint you, but I am...

You are beautiful

I'm afraid

I'm afraid of being forgotten

I'm afraid of waking up in the morning and being the only one left 

I'm afraid of being alone 

I'm afraid of fish nibbling on my toes under the mucky water 

I'm afraid of letting my parents down 

And making my friends frown 

I'm afraid of not living up to expectations 

I'm afraid of not being me.

It Isn't That Easy

When I think about life, I think about all of the beauty that surrounds me on this earth. I think of the birds chirping, lawn mowers running, snow plowers scraping, carpool moms honking. There is so much more to life then all of these things listed but sometimes its hard to really step back and imagine if this is how you want to look at life. THERE IS SO MUCH MORE TO IT!! As I have gotten older I have had to learn that life isn't easy and we all have trials that we have to endure. If we don't have trials then what are we really here for? Exactly. Nothing. I have learned that my parents won't always be by my side. I need to take a leap and not rely on them for everything that I do. Trying to become Independent is probably one of the hardest things that I have done, With it comes so much responsibility, and lessons. It won't be easy but it'll be worth it. A lot of people take life for granted and that needs to stop because it is beautiful and it is a blessing!

You told Me to undress
I said, " I don't know ho-
my walls are so high,
I can;t reach around

Ill start with my buttons
you go brick by brick
I know it'll be hard,
I've built it up thick

And i'm sorry for wasting
so much of your time
but how can I see your heart
when I can't even see mine?

And I will talk about life
and children, and laughter,
the feeling of never getting
what you've been after

And I will cry over reasons
that you'll never find out
And I never really know
what i'm smiling about

And there will be a time
when i know you won't care
because no one ever stays
when I am finally bare.

Should I Grow Up?

My parents hate the thought of letting go.
They don't want me to become independent.
 They don't know what that is like.
 4 older siblings all still live under the roof relying on my parents.
 THAT WON"T BE ME!
I want to be able to learn and make my own decisions.
To be able to pay for my own things
To go wherever I want to go
I WANT TO HAVE FREEDOM
I want to date whoever I want.
 Hell I want to choose my own religion.
I don't always need to follow your right and wrongs
I make my own rights and wrongs
I don't want to be rebellious, but your actions are forcing me to.

What if...

What if I'm dumb in school?

What if they've closed the swimming pool?

What if I get beat up? 

What if there's poison in my cup? 

What if I start to cry? 

What if I get sick and die?

What if I flunk that test? 

What if green hair grows on my chest? 

What if nobody likes me?

What if a bolt of lightning strikes me? 

What if I don't grow taller? 

What if my head starts getting smaller?

What if the fish won't bite?

What if the wind tears up my kite?

What if they start a war?

What if my parents get divorced?

What if the bus is late?

What if my teeth don't grow in straight?

What if I tear my pants?

What if I never learn to dance?

 

WHAT IF 

LOVE

I'm in love with being in love

"I am in ŁØVE with 

The idea of being in love 

I want to GƦλ$P it, $EłZE it. 

The concept itself is beautiful. 

How two minds can become infixed,

 with raw love 

and tender affection 

Love is MλGł₡λŁ 

And many people have 

Fallen in love 

With the pure idea of being 

In ŁØVE"

 

If it's meant to be don't you flee 

Stay close and never leave. 

If it's love you'll know 

But make sure it shows 

 

Love is when there 

Are a million things 

You want to say to 

Someone. 

But when

They look you in the

Eyes and hold you in

Their arms, nothing in 

Life matters other than being 

With that person at that 

Moment. 

Love is precious 

Treat it right 

And you'll always

Keep it in your sight

Don't make me be a robot

Don't ignore me

I'm not invisible

I promise I'm here

You may not hear me or know where I'm at, I promise I'm near

Human or not I still exist 

Don't make me seem like a robot 

I'm not made of metal 

I don't make a clamp 

Let me live and be free 

I know I'm human, I know who I am

The only way to be true is to be the best you.. 

Don't listen to what the world has to say, turn around and go your own way.

Each decision you make will help you accomplish each day.

No promises there will be good ones, no doubt there will be bad. 

But wherever life takes you, just be glad. 

Where ever you end up is where you're suppose to go, so don't complain and put on a big show.

If someone tells you you're wrong, just remember you are right.

It may not be what they want, but do what you think is right.

Be with people who know your true worth, you don't need too many people to be happy. 

Just a few genuine ones who appreciate you for who you are.

Never put your key to happiness in someone else's pocket.

Wouldn't it be terrible? 

Wouldn't it be sad?

 

If just one single color was the color that we had? 

If everything was purple? 

Or red? Or blue? Or green? 

If yellow, pink or orange was all that could be seen?

Can you just imagine how dull the world would be if just one single color was all we got to see?

 

The many screams from mom and the magic eraser are apart of the daily routine. 

You can never take these memories away from me. 

A little kid wants to be free and the best way for that is let them create a picture of  what they want to be. 

Crayons were a childhood memory for me and all of you need to let it be. 

Still to this day I get carried away, while in church I steal kids crayons and play. 

Crayons. 

Crayons. 

Crayons.

Be creative with crayons. 

The options are limitless... 

I Am Me

I am in my "bubble" being pampered and treated like a Princess

 Its usually about me.

I am not perfect. I have been hurt. But will not be used again.
Life has been both good and bad.
But its mine.

What next? Don't make me do anything. I decide what I want. What makes me happy? Things that sparkle, a clean room, soft sheets, shopping, puppies, romance, and babies.

Almost an adult.

It's my time but what is right for me? I want the perfect life. Is that too much to ask?

Independence...

Do I listen to what the world says, or do I follow my inner voice that tells me I am so much more.

I know where I come from. It doesn't matter what others think. I decide who I will be and what makes me happy. I am beautiful but happiness is fleeting.

How can it stay? It flies away like a butterfly. Do i dance in the rain and feel it splash in my face? That makes me happy.

Feeling clean and free.

I love to sing at the top of my lungs, and dance to my own beat. Who cares if they make fun of me because I am not as good as I think I am. I don't care!

I am me.

What are these things I wear on my body that are so important? A statement? A form of creativity? Or something that gives me attention? Style is fun and beautiful and makes me happy.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I am beautiful without makeup, but the process changes me. I am happy when I shop, but how important is money?

It can't buy me happiness? My happiness comes from being me.

Working hard and finding someone to share my life with. Creating Joy.

With each new thought and decision that I make I am becoming my best self, whatever that is.

I like me.



THIS IS ME.
