Lost In My Thoughts• Show poetry

If you haven't noticed I have not written in ages, and I guess my mother was right, it was a phase. I hope that when people read my pieces that they can relate to them and know that there are others that do have a clue about the feelings you are feeling or have felt.

A LITTLE ABOUT MOI:
I am now a Senior in high school. I am very active in the music department, I'm in jazz-band, pep-band, concert band, marching band, and conference band. Since school has began, it really seems like I don't have much of a life...Well other than having a couple friends. Britni B. has been here for me throughout high school...ugh I can't believe it's almost over. I'm already applying! Anyways I love animals, enjoy reading, watching CSI: Miami, messing around on the computer, helping people out and playing Sims.

Dreams:
To go to a drive in movie, watch the sunset, watch the sunrise, take a walk on the beach early in the morning while no one is up, go to a poetry reading café, Go horseback riding in the middle of no where, creek walking with a friend, play my saxophone at a bar, sing at a bar, sing a song I have written, learn to play guitar, grow hair out to waist, make a song (with guitar music etc..) make a c.d., win the lotto and go to college. These are only a few things that I want to accomplish in my teen and in my twenties years.

Places to Visit:
After watching Memoirs of a Geisha and reading the book, I have been dying to visit Japan, not the city, but the outskirts of the town where the gardens and everything are, and to see the bonsai and cherry blossoms. I have been wanting ot visit Great Britain for ages because of my love of harry potter and because I am so in love with the British accent, I don't find it annoying at all, not like the Southern accent that I disspies so much, and i have been wanting to go to Italy since I have seen the famous city of Rome and Florance, it's just the romantic cities and the galoes(?) ( the boats). I always thought one of those boat rides would be awesome.

Sky Blue and Black
By: Jackson Brown

In the calling out to one another
Of the lovers up and down the strand
In the sound of the waves and the cries
Of the seagulls circling the sand
In the fragments of the songs
Carried down the wind from some radio
In the murmuring of the city in the distance
Ominous and low

I hear the sound of the world where we played
And the far too simple beauty
Of the promises we made

If you ever need holding
Call my name, Ill be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, Ill see you through
Sky blue and black

Where the touch of the lover ends
And the soul of the friend begins
Theres a need to be separate and a need to be one
And a struggle neither wins
Where you gave me the world I was in
And a place I could make a stand
I could never see how you doubted me
When Id let go of your hand

Yeah, and I was much younger then
And I must have thought that I would know
If things were going to end

And the heavens were rolling
Like a wheel on a track
And our sky was unfolding
And itll never fold back
Sky blue and black

And Id have fought the world for you
If I thought that you wanted me to
Or put aside what was true or untrue
If Id known thats what you needed
What you needed me to do

But the moment has passed by me now
To have put away my pride
And just come through for you somehow

If you ever need holding
Call my name, Ill be there
If you ever need holding
And no holding back, Ill see you through

Youre the color of the sky
Reflected in each store-front window pane
Youre the whispering and the sighing
Of my tires in the rain
Youre the hidden cost and the thing thats lost
In everything I do
Yeah and Ill never stop looking for you
In the sunlight and the shadows
And the faces on the avenue
Thats the way love is
Thats the way love is
Thats the way love is
Sky blue and black

One look puts the rhythm in my head.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around.
I see what's going down.

Cover up with makeup in the mirror,
Tell yourself it's never gonna happen again.
You cry alone and then he swears he loves you

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.

A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect;
Every action in this world will bear a consequence.
If you wade around forever you will surely drown.
I see what's going down.

I see the way you go and say you're right again,
say your right again
heed my lecture

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has.

One day she will tell you that she has had enough.
It's coming round again.(2)

Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well, I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
As your lies crumble down, a new life she has

Face down in the dirt she says "this doesn't hurt"

Dreams

Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die,
Life is a broken-winged bird
that cannot fly

Hold Fast to dreams
for when dreams go
life is a barren field
frozen with snow.

-Langston Hughes



The best love
is the kind
that weakens the soul
and we reach for more
that plants a fire in our hearts
and brings peace
to the mind
and that's what you've given me
and that's what I hope to give you

-Walt Whitman-

"If"

If you can value truth above approval,
And friendship over beauty, wealth, or fame,
If you can share your gifts and talents wisely,
Leaving someone better off
Than when you came...

If you find happiness in simple pleasures
And see the rainbow, not the falling rain,
If you have faith to keep right on believing
In miracles that no one else can explain,
If you look until you see the good in others
And keep your spirit honest, true, and free,
Then you’ll be not just happy and successful,
But the woman you were meant to be.

If you could see
all the flowers in the world,
If you could hear
All the laughter in the universe,
If you could make
All the dreams
That ever were wished come true
Then you would know a little part
Of the joy of having and loving
A daughter like you.

-Emily Matthews-
