"Closing the Door"

As I stand in the shimmering grass


Dreaming of what could’ve been


I begin to think back on the past


.. ..


I still remember that one snowy night


I woke up wit ha fright


My dad with a belt


My mom with a “YELP!”


I stepped in, my eyes full of fear


My dad looked with a tear


“GO!”


I looked down at the ground


My mom gone


“How could you be so wrong!”


.. ..


As I stand in the shimmering grass


Dreaming of what could’ve been


I close the door on the past

Hope for Haiti

I know we all have heard about the devastating news in Haiti, well i was listening to the radio, 88.3 FM, and they were interviewing this woman that was living down there. They were asking her how she was holding up. She had told them that on the day of the earthquake or sometime around there, that she had been up on the this moutain or on the compounds, anyway she was somewhere she could see the Port-au- Prince from where she was. She said that everytime there was a tremor, everyone sarted praying and worshiping. I dont exactly understand why. Yes im a christian and everythig, but in America, everytime something bad happens, how many time do we start blaming God and not praising and praying to him. Hardly ever will we actually run to him and curl up in his arms, but instead we run, assuming that will take care of our problems or that it will just all dissappear if you just get away for awhile. I will admit that sometimes, it does help for you to get away and recover, as long as you come back and make things better. But most of the time when you run away, you dont come back or it is very hard too. Im currently in a sitiuation like that, well not me personally, but someone very close to me. They say they will not come back. But when you run away its just like telling a lie. Only this time youre lying to yourself instead of to someone else. You’re lying about whats wrong with you and about whats really going on. So instead you use that excuse of i need to get away for awhile, but when really, all we want to do is redo what happened and wish that it doesnt happen, but instead we know that can never happen and were too scared to admit to God and ourselves that we want to make things better. I dont understand how the people in Haiti have just lost what little belongings they have and they still keep praising God. But when a fight happens between you and someone else that changes things between you and them we want to run away never returning. The Haitans lost loved ones. Even the ones they had problems with and they didnt get to fix it, and they still PRAISE GOD! But we have the chance to fix it before something like the earthquake in Haiti happens and every single bit of hope is gone and theres no chance of you fixing it with that other person. So I hope this leaves you with something to think about cause i know i do.

Masterpiece

Dear Friend and masterpiece,
I’ll always be there right by you. You may not feel me, or see me, or smell me, but if you listen, you can hear me. At times, when it seems like all is falling apart. Every second, there is breaking news. Ever minute, someone is calling you telling you that your closest friend died. Every hour, little kids that are being rushed to the hospital is posted up on the internet. Every day, your parents argue about what seems to be to you stupid. Every week, you hear shrieks from your neighbor who is being abused. Ever month, your mom cries because she cant pay the bills. Every year, your dad gets fired and says he wants to kill himself. It my seem like that I dont care. It may seem like all those promises that I said would fulfill, I have forgotten. It may seem like there is no hope. Well think again. Did I not say that I would be there. Did I not promise you that I would never forget you. After all, how could I forget my masterpiece. If I would take care of a little bird why would I not take care of you. I’m there. I was there when your friend died. I was there when your dad got fired. I was there when your neighbor was being beaten. I was there when your mom received the bill. I wad there when that kid was rushed to the hospital. I was there when they reported the breaking news. If I was there with them, why would I not be there with you, when you would have to experience hearing it. You may wonder what if they didnt know me. Well, do something. Go. Go tell them about me so that way when you hear the news, you know there is hope. You know they know they’re going home. You never know where someone is going. So, fix that. I love you my friend, my creation, my MASTERPIECE. I’m there. ALWAYS!
Sincerely,
God
Lion and the Lamb
Prince of Peace
Almighty
Truth, Way, Light

Free to be me

Hey all you bloggers.I wont be telling you who i am or how old i am all i will tell you is the stuff that people dont normally just tell you. So with that out of the way lets begin:I have always dreamed of being a writer. i thought that creating this blog would be a good start towards that dream. I think that in order to reach a goal you have to set little things that you need to accomplish before the victory of winning your goal. My favorite genre of stories to write are sad stories. I dont know why but they seem the easiest and most realistic to write. I prefer realistic stories so maybe thats why. But i have written several short stories and a couple of longer stories. I have two stories that im currently working on. Of course ill let all you bloggers be the first to read them. im not your typical writer. I dont spend all my time typing away at the keys or sharpening the pencil and getting to work and ending up with calasis kinda writer. I do other things. For instance: i love doing theatre. Especially singing on stage. But when i get accepted into a club i dont like walking up there to receive my pin. But when im on stage, i have more confidnece. Theres something about being someone youre not that makes us unstoppable on the outside. I dont really understand. I guess maybe its because if were not ourselves and were someone else, then no one can really judge or make fun of who we really are. If you have other thoughts on that please comment. I also get inspired easily. Like all the time. Even just little things give me inspiration. So i like to sing, write and i like to shop and get into fashion. Like if i see something in a magazine that i think is cute, then ill probably go out and buy it like most girls do. I also love going to church and hanging out with my good christian friends. But then again i like to laugh and goof around. And like every other normal person, i also judge and make fun of people but only behind their backs. And yes i know thats totaly wrong. but i human and i try my best but i sometimes fail and accidnetally slip. Well i guess i have to go. i didnt get to tell you everything. so ill hyave to tell you another time.
