Man! It really has!
Ok, so, since I'm in a class at school to write poetry and short stories, here goes the poem that I wrote just today. The teacher is really stupid about this and says that poems are not to have "emo crap"...my question is...WHAT EXACTLY IS POETRY THEN!? It's emotions, feelings, what the author is feeling at the time. So, I did my best to "remove myself" from my own poem. Lemme know what you think!

The Outside Looking In

Shake up the snow globe
The snow suddenly gone
On the outside looking in
But left out of the loop,
Left behind at the station
As one who doesn't belong
The odd man out
The outfielder who never catches the ball
The player who doesn't get to play,
The piano key that doesn't get plucked
Such is the life of the outcast
The kid longing to fit in
The one shaking the snow globe
The child peaking from inside the window
The one outside the circle
Who cannot get in.
On the outside looking in.

Such a sad poem, but a good one.

i love it. and dont worry bout what your teach says, theyre only trying to get you to branch out of your normal writing shell...and look what youve accomplished =)

thats a perdy poem. My aunt bought me a snow globe when I was little and I brought it into school as one of my favorite things...and I dropped it. it made me so sad. Anyways, your words are pretty.

i think you accomplished what she wanted...she just wanted you to step outside of your box, and to not write about yourself...very well written

Very good. What kind of music do you listen to mostly to get this inspiration, or does it just come naturally?

Here it is...a new poem...

at 06/14/05 12:48PM

I call it: My Mind.
It's pretty much a shortened list of the things that go through my mind on any given day. Things that may or may not be important, things that do or do not stress me out.

My MindThe fear of what lies ahead
The knowledge I can't look back
Not knowing what to do
But not caring how long it takes
Wondering what God has in store
Re-thinking my smarts and skills
Questioning if it's all worth while
Missing those I love
Thinking of what to do, how to do it, when & where
Bewildered at people's stupidity
Praying I don't slip up in weakened areas
Hoping I can still stand guard against sin
Longing to be in my own little world:
Away from immorality and sin
Occuring at work and at school.
Sleeping only when there's time
Studying otherwise
Driving all over Tampa
Not stressing out my heart
Worried about the future of my heart
Can't wait for class to end
When will my break begin
That guy looks cute
Tomorrow will begin with this again
This must be the ABC's of my ADD mind.

cool

I FINALLY WROTE ONE!

at 05/28/05 12:59AM

I couldn't sleep tonight, so I decided to look through my yearbook and read what all my dear friends turned family wrote to me. I hadn't yet read 1/2 of them. By the end of the 2nd one, I was balling, and somewhat surprised my roommates weren't awakened by the sobbing coming from my room. I sounded pathetic I'm sure! BUT! What made me sad remeniscing (sp?) on the memories helped inspire me to write a poem. It's been close to a month since I've been able to come up with anything! So, here it is:

Till thenIt's hardly been a month,
But a month too long
Since I said "so-long"
To strangers, turned friends, turned family.

Some will return, some will not
I'll be up the road, but distant I'll feel!
When you return in August, it will be hot
And when I go back to visit, it won't seem real.

Till then I'll forget the not-so-great-times.
And I'll remember precious times:
"Vollyball", "WHAT!?!", "Mousaka" too,
And homecoming--get out your kazoo!

While my "bubble" has long since been popped
And I struggle without my Christian influences always near
The love I felt from there has not stopped
And the advice given will always be in my ear.

Some of it may not flow completely, but then again, which of my poems do so smoothly flow? LOL Let me know what you think please. Thanks for posting. I'm sorry it's been a while! I just haven't had much inspiration! Ok, now, off to bed! I've gotta be up early...EVEN ON A SATURDAY!

You are past wonderful!

i loved it. it was one of a kind... but i liked it;)

by girly_girl at 05/28/05 7:27AM

Coming soon...

at 05/23/05 12:12AM

Ok guys, I know it's long awaited, but I have a poem...coming soon! I just thought of some stuff for it tonight while I was sooooo down. But yeah, it's been a rough week. My heart literally hurts (my AI), and my heart hurts for a dying friend that I'm across the country from (they're in CA, I'm in FL). But yeah, so do ya'll want to know the title? Ok, I think I might possibly call it "Sometimes You Just Gotta Let It All Out and Cry" or "Sometimes...Just Cry."

Song of the night: Vitamin C's "As We Go On"...makes me remember my FC Family. It *still* makes me cry!

That's all for now. I should have this poem done by week's end...not as fast as I used to be on stuff like that, but whatever.

Remember: You are past wonderful!

Sorry about your friend
