The Pain Within

Pain is the existence of denial,
It is something that you’re born into
Even if it brings you much guile.

Sometimes you might want to crack a smile,
At times it may break you into two.
Pain is the existence of denial.

It may sneak in like a crocodile
And you’ll know what you have to do,
Even if it brings you much guile.

At times people put it off as if it were a file,
But you know they really knew.
Pain is the existence of denial.

One day it will come up your isle
And there will be no more of you.
Even if it brings you much guile.

Meet the pain, head on, just smile.
You got to do what you’ve got to do,
Pain is the existence of denial
Even if it brings you much guile.


I had to write this for poetry class and i just thought post it to get yalls comments, so i would know if it even made sense.

School

hey sry it has been so long since i have updated but i have been kind of busy. alright all last week i was at Myrtle Beach in South Carolina for those of you who do not know where that is. haha. i had a bunch of fun down there i stayed at the beach most of time, but at night at had to play tag along with my family becasuse they wanted to go shopping every night and that got really old really quick. lol. My School started last wednesday but i missed the first three days because i was at the beach, my first day was Monday and i already have reports due, and let me tell you i did not like it one bit. The people have not really changed that much but i guess that is how it is suppose to be. But one thing has changed there are now TWO Church Of Christ people at my school out of like 350, me and will hammonds. But ya i figure it is going to be pretty hard this year. And all of you guys that are going to FC good luck and stay strong and i will see yall at lectures and at Junior Days. And everyone needs to go to caseys singing, i think it is either Saturday or Sunday night just call her and ask her. Alright i will talk to yall later. luv yall.

the poem

I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mum
So I had a sprite instead.
I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
That I didn't drink and drive,
Though some friends said I should.
I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right,
The party finally ended,
And the kids drove out of sight.
I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one piece,
I never knew what was coming, Mum
Something I expected least.
Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
The kid that caused this wreck was drunk, Mum, his voice seems far
away.
My own blood's all around me,
As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
This girl is going to die.
I'm sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high,
Because he chose to drink and drive,
Now I would have to di! e.
So why do people do it, Mum
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
Like a hundred stabbing knives.
Tell sister not to be afraid, Mum
Tell daddy to be brave,
And when I go to heaven,
Put "Daddy's Girl" on my grave.
Someone should have taught him,
That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,
I'd still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mum
I'm getting really scared.
These are my final moments,
And I'm so unprepared.
I wish that you could hold me Mum,
As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, "I love you, Mum!"
So I love you and good-bye

The Summer That Changed MY LIFE

This summer was the best summer i have ever expierenced in my entire life without a doubt. It all started out with FC Camp in Alabama, i have been attending this camp for three years and this year was by far the best year. I would like to thank 2 girls that changed my life forever their names are Rebecca Schug and Emily Davis the older one lol. From wat i gathered they led a devotional which really got all of the girls thinking and it especially got Audra thinking so much about her and her friends that she sat all of us down friday after dinner and talked to us. she pretty much told us that she wanted all of us to go to heaven and she knew that some of us were heading in the wrong direction. That night five of us were baptized six including kelly. i just cant tell yall how much i apreciate the devotional that yall led to the girls. And Audra thank you so much for sitting us down and talking to us it was Awesome. And i will really need some help staying on the right path. I just got back from Athens and it was just so AWESOME to be around everyone again i just cant explain, it is so good to just be able to tell people things that you have done and for them know how hard it is to go out into the world and try to live the way a christian should. Rebecca Schug and Emily Davis are two of the most awesome girls you will ever meet i just met them this year at camp and i would like for them to know how much i appreciate them accepcting me as a friend, and if you have not met them yet, just go up and introduce yourself they will except you just as they accepted me. And Audra thank you for sitting us down and talking to us it meant a lot to me. Well that is about it. Love yall and always keep God the #1 in your life.
  • aus10laff40
    Hey man, Friday was great and its awesome that you and everyone decided baptized b/c you made a lot of the impact happen too b/c after that everyone was real happy and excited and it just made camp the best. Listen to your own advice about keeping God #1 in your life and if you need help you know my number. ttyl.

  • lilmermaid4890
    hey josh!! its hannah. you know you're talkin bout how us girls changed your life, but yall dont know how much you changed my life. i came home saturday and told my parents whati told yall at camp. and theni called my preacher and i had a bible study w/ him. and then sunday i went forward and was forgiven!! and its the greatest feeling!!! but if yall hadn't made such and impact on me i would prolly be livin the wrong life still.but i just hope yall dont make the same mistakes i did. but just member that God is ALWAYS w/ us and just keep Him as your best friend!! i love you josh!!
