The Summer I Was Thirteen

The cool breeze fly’s through the open window
Loud music blares through my headphones
We’re off to a land every kid dreams of going
Making a few brief stops on the way
First, off to an African safari
Seeing the most exotic animals you could ever dream
Next, a ski lift taking us into the mysterious mountain in Tennessee
On top of which was brightly colored neon streamers
Hiding the most carnival I have ever seen
And last, a Technicolor laser show spread across the mountains in Georgia
A fantastic mixture of blue, green, and red dance through the sky
Lighting up everything in its path
Showing pictures from western cowboys riding their majestic horses
To the American flag blowing gracefully in the wind
Finally the arrival, and standing in front of me is a statue of Walt.
Behind him opening a world like no other
The smells of buttered popcorn and sweet cotton candy fill the air
Kids running frantically up to see their favorite character
With angelic smiles plastered across their faces
I was in a land where when you wish upon a star
All your dreams come true

My Life Right Now

Life is very busy right now. I have my internship still going on at Childern's Health Care, I'm going to school, finalizing everything for college, working at VG's, and practicing for softball now. I am busy every single day after school so mt social life is being put on a hault for a bit. I also joined a gym membership with Aleshia. I go to the gym after softball everyday and whenever else I can. Senioritis is beginning to kick in. I'm just ready for school to be over and on to summer vaction. This weekend I get to go see my boyfriend,Aj, he is taking me out to dinner and to go bowling. On the downside his little sister and her boyfriend get to tag along because shes not aloud to go on dates unless me and AJ go with her. It's hard to see Aj, seeing as he also has school and does baseball as well not to mention he lives in Imlay City so to see him its a good fourty-five minute drive. Home life is good, then again I'm never home enough to get in trouble or to have anything be wrong. School life is good, this semester I have a lot easier classes then i did last semester. Seeing how I dropped advanced alegbra and trig and gained a sohpmore history class. I got a tattoo on my should of a shooting star, its pretty :].It was kind od a spur of the moment thing. I asked my dad one day just to see what he would say, and he said yes and then to go ask my mom to make sure it was okay with her. Of course it wasn't okay with her, but my dad still took me anyway. That caused a little tension in the house. Now with having one tattooI want another one. My plan is on my eigthteenth birthday to go and get my second one. I'm going to get the word believe down my side. Other then that, life is good. Just overwhelmed with everything going on and very excited to graduate and get out of school.

Vengeance

Test me if you will
And leave me if you dare
You’ll pay for it in the end
I will take those pearly white Air Forces
The ones you finger-lick clean everyday
And take a nice bright red marker and color all over them
That’s your favorite color right?
And if that’s not enough
I will lay them in my backyard
And repeatedly run over them with my green Jon Deer lawn mower
As I see piece by piece being picked up by the whirling winds
Oh and remember your Collie, Chancifer, that you cherish so much?
Yes he will be gone
To a pound in a city you will never think of
I hope they put him to sleep
Lastly, walk away from me
And see what happens to your perfectly organized room
I will rip to shreds the sheets you sleep in every night
Shatter the mirror you stare in everyday
And burn your neatly packed dressers
Full of your “expensive” clothes
Doing nothing but smiling the entire time
I will leave your house as if nothing happened
And wait by the trees until you come home
Waiting for you to walk upstairs and see what I left.
Your scream will bring pleasure to my ears
Test me if you will
And leave me if you dare.

Senior Poem

As the snow melts
And the flowers begin to blossom
We start to say our final goodbyes
We take what we have learned
And venture off into the world
Sitting back, we see the memories
Embracing our knowledge
Taking it with us on our new journey
The future holds greatness
The past holds memories
Though we leave this place we call home.
We never forget where we came from.

Image 3; Falling girl?

The girl looks dark and depressed like shes falling into hell. All her mistakes have caught up with her and she is now falling into the pits of darkness. But with the white clothing and the white room it reminds me of purity, somewhat like of an angel. And she looks like she is actually being pulled up like shes being taken away by something, or someone. The gold stuff on the bed looks like glitter that had falling off her dress, maybe symbolizing her mistakes being left behind. And her being taken away is suppose to symbolize a new beginning. I think the white room and the white dress and the white light have alot to do with the meaning behind the picture. I think it symbolizes purity and her either falling out of purity or being pure again. The expression on the girls face is plain almost angelic like, like a porcelain doll with no expression on their face at all. Like her either fall or being pulled up has no effect on her. Even though she is either falling or being pulled up she seems to be at peace with it, like she knew it was going to happen. Like she knew it was her time to have this new beginning or fall into the pits of darkness because of her past mistakes. This picture can either go one of two ways in my mind. It can either symbolize peace,purity,and new beginnings or past mistakes,darkness,and depression.

Image 4; The lonely tree.

Sitting under my tree in the back yard is where I usually do most of my writing. Usually more in the summer time. Somewhere you can sit and be alone and let your mind run wild without any distractions. The scenery around you springs new ideas and makes you think. The sounds you hear, the things you see.
It also reminds me of a place you can be alone; free to do what you want, say what you want, and be who you want, without having to be judged. When your alone your mind goes wild. It looks like a place in Tennessee I once saw on vacation with the mountains in the background and the bright blue sunny sky full of clouds. When I was there on vacation I felt a peace. Tennessee was such a beautiful place when I went there, the open fields and the scenery was amazing. The tree itself in this picture looks kinda creepy. With no leaves on it and its just standing alone in the middle of the field on its own. It somewhat reminds me of a tree I saw when watching the Salem Witch Trails and the witches were in the forest making a potion. It has an eerie look to it looking old and kinda dead. It kinda contrast to the sky seeing as the sky is so bright and blue and full of clouds and then the grass is bright green and than you look at the tree and it look dead. Is there is reason for that? Is there suppose to be irony to it? The tree becomes like an outcast in the picture. Alone and byself to the world around it.
