I have lived through a lot and want to make a great life for myself. I have had my rare up's and I have lived in the "downs". I have lived surrounded by anger and frustration my whole life. I was told growing up that depression is a disease and I needed to be "fixed" I have lived my whole life being blamed for things I did not do and for the anger my father had. A young girl didn't know any better and believed it but now, I don't have to. I am no longer their victim, I am their demise. I will not live my life blaming others for the way I am like so many others have blamed me. I have accepted what has been my fault and slowly began to discard the lies. Memories are not always a good thing, that I know, but I will not let them control my life any longer. I am ready to live for myself the way I want to live. I'm through with being the victim. Now I just have to survive...
I fell in love with writing around the same time I thought that being a teacher was what I wanted to do. I was only ten years old. Writing has saved my life. It seems I am always writing. There is no better way to express the thoughts that over power your mind in such a simple yet deep form of writing. It is healing to the soul. I believe that everything happens for a reason and if I am able to write even one poem that means something to someone, then I will have succeeded in my eyes.
I try not to let a day go by where I take for granted everything that I have been blessed with. There are hard times in life, I understand that, but what I will never quite understand is what I have done to deserve all of the blessings that I have. It never ceases to amaze me. I am a pretty unique person but if you get to know me, you will find I get along with pretty much anyone. I always try not to judge others. Obviously at times I slip, but no one is perfect. I believe that we are all on this Earth for an important purpose. Regardless our race, religion, sexuality, beliefs, opinions, political standing...ANYTHING. We are all people and we all matter..we are all here going through a lot of the same things, we might as well go through those things as a team.
What do we have to loose?

You ask me your question
I tell you my lie

Without my pencil, i'd be no where
It's the only option i have
To express what i feel inside

AllTenFingerprints : Welcome to AP! on September 9, 2007Welcome to AP, thanks for your comment on my poem! That was some seriously brilliant constructive criticism. It helped a lot. I just wanted to let you know I took some of your suggestions and rewrote the poem; it's up on my page now if you'd like to read it again.
