I write poetry, because I need to. See, my mom had cancer,and died from it very recently. Sometimes, when everything I do and everything that happens to me, I have to get it out. Because, how else am I gonna let it out? Sometimes I get really tired and mean when I don't write, and i let it out on people. it's a horrible feeling. thankfully, that hasn't happened in a long time. I've learned to deal with everything, help my family, and hang with friends, and sleep. It's amazing what a piece of paper can do.



Some fav poetry-

The Moron

See the happy moron,
He doesn't give a damn!
I wish I was a moron-
By God! Perhaps I am!

My Own Epitaph

Life is a jest, and all things show it;
I thought so once, but now I know it.
*John Gay

Reluctance

Out through the fields and the woods
And over the walls I have wended;
I have climbed the hills of view
And looked at the world, and descended;
I have come by the highway home,
And lo, it has ended.

The leaves are all dead on the ground
Save those that the oak is keeping
To ravel them one by one
And let them go scraping and creeping
Out over the crusted snow,
When others are sleeping.

And the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
No longer blown hither and thither;
The last lone aster is gone;
The flowers of the witch-hazel wither;
The heart is still aching to seek,
But the feet question, "Whither?"

Ah, when to the heart of man,
Was it ever less than treason
To go with the drift of things,
To yield with a grace to reason,
And bow and accept the end
Of a love or a season?
*Robert Frost

One

The tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao.
The name that can be named is not the eternal name.
The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth.
The named is the mother of ten thousand things.
Ever desireless, one can see the mystery.
Ever desiring, one sees the manifestations.
These two spring from the same source but differ in name;
this appears as darkness.
Darkness within darkness.
The gateway to all mystery.
*Lao Tsu

oh who can tell. save he whose heart has tried.
*Lord Byron (not the city!!)

I've had a perfectly wonderful evening.
But this wasn't it.
*Gruocho Marx

Fear is that little, dark room where negatives are developed.
*Michael Pritchard

What is that you express in your eyes?
It seems to me more than all the words I have
read in my life.
*Walt Whitman

Frodo: What a pity that Bilbo did not stab the vile creature, when he had the chance!
Gandalf: Pity? It was pity that stayed his hand. Pity and Mercy: not to strike without need. And he has been well rewarded, Frodo. Be sure that he took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began the ownership of the ring so. With Pity.
Frodo: I am sorry, but I still do not feel any pity for Gollum.
Gandalf: You have not seen him.
Frodo: No, and I don't want to. I can't understand you. Do you mean to say that you,and the Elves, have let him live after all those terrible deeds? Now at any rate he is as bad as an orc, and just an enemy. He deserves death.
Gandalf: Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the most wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it. And he is bound up in the fate of the ring. My heart tells me he has some part to play yet, for good or ill, before the end; and when that comes, the pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.
*LOTR, Fellowship of the Ring

If I had a nickel everytime someone asked me to dress like Cher and sing Barry Manilow...well...I'd have a nickel.
*Ellen Degeneres

Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get.
*Forrest Gump

I know this sounds easy, but nothing could be more difficult. You have to use your brain, and your head, and your mind.
*School of Rock

Dewey:They're suffering from a rare blood disease. Stickittotheman...miosis.
Battle of the Bands Manager guy: that's sounds terrible!
Dewey: It's hell.
*School of rock

Nancy: I nodded and swallowed. I understood. She was absolving me from this terrible thing. For that I will always be grateful to her. We did not speak again, just stared at each other, knowing that nothing will ever be the same after what had just happened in that close and stinking room. The onward flow of our lives had been diverted, as though by rocks falling into the stream. We would have to find a different direction, but there was no telling yet what it would be, or where it would take us from here.
*Pirates!

Cowards die many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste death but once.
*William Shakespeare

A friend is one who knows you and loves you all the same.
*Elbert Hubbard

Whatever we learn has a purpose and whatever we do affects everything and everyone else, if even in the tiniest way. Why, when a housefly flaps his wings, a breeze goes round the world; when a speck of dust falls to the ground, the entire planet weighs a little more; and when you stamp your foot, the earth moves slightly off its course. Whenever you laugh, gladness spreads like the ripples in a pond; and whenever you're sad, no one anywhere can be really happy. And it's much the same thing with knowledge, for whenever you learn something new, the whole world becomes that much richer."
-Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth


You know, I was gonna get sick or I was gonna get injured or something. The only choice I had, the only thing I could control, was when and how and where that was going to happen.
So, I made a rope. And I went up to the summit to hang myself.
But, I had to test it, you know. Course. You know me. And the weight of the log snapped the limb of the tree, and I couldn't even kill myself the way I wanted to. I had power. over. nothing.
And that's when this feeling came over me like a warm blanket. I knew, somehow, that I had to stay alive.
Somehow. I had to keep breathing, even though I had no reason to hope, and all my logic said that I would never see this place again.
So, that's what I did. I stayed alive. I kept breathing. And then, one day that logic was proven all wrong because the tide came in, gave me a sail.
And now here I am. I'm back. In Memphis, talking to you. I have ice in my glass.
And I've lost her all over again. I'm so sad that I don't have Kelly. But I'm so grateful that she was with me on that island.
And I know what I have to do now. And, I keep breathing. Because tomorrow the sun will rise. Who knows what the tide could bring?
-, Cast Away (movie, Tom Hanks)

You're lost little girl

You're lost little girl
You're lost little girl
You're lost
Tell me who
Are you?
I think that you know what to do
Impossible? Yes, but it's true
I think that you know what to do, yeah
I'm sure that you know what to do
You're lost little girl
You're lost little girl
You're lost
Tell me who
Are you?
I think that you know what to do
Impossible? Yes, but it's true
I think that you know what to do, girl
I'm sure that you know what to do
You're lost little girl
You're lost little girl
You're lost

I love sights and smells, sounds and caresses. To wake up in the morning and know it was a new day, a new start. But most of all, I love life.
