I will not say "Do not weep", for not all tears are an evil.
-Gandalf
And with that opening quote I will share with you a poem I wrote yesterday about an experience of mine. :)
It is to/about my daddy.

Hello Wednesday
Morning :)
I woke up about the time I was supposed to today but took a bit longer to get ready than planned. Therefore, I have no substantial food substances with me. I have Chex-mix and an apple. I bought some very over-priced coffee from our school java stop and it was delicious. I needed coffee this morning. I woke up disgruntled and annoyed and had no time to make it at home. It tends to improve my mood. You see, I was dumb again and stayed up till a little after two in the morning.
I made it to my class early (thus the time to buy coffee) despite leaving late. Traffic....when will you make up your mind? The first group of people gave their speeches and I didn't have any problems paying attention. You see, our next speech is a poetry/lyric speech where we read a poem or lyrics from a song and then explain why we chose it and what it means to us.
I don't like country music to often but I enjoyed the lyrics to Rascal Flatts song "Stand" quite a bit.
You feel like a candle in a hurricane
Just like a picture with a broken frame
Alone and helpless
Like you've lost your fight
But you'll be alright, you'll be alright
[Chorus:]
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend, till you break
Cause its all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad you get strong
Wipe your hands shake it off
Then you Stand, Then you stand
Life's like a novel
With the end ripped out
The edge of a canyon
With only one way down
Take what you're given before its gone
Start holding on, keep holding on
Cause when push comes to shove
You taste what you're made of
You might bend till you break
Cause it's all you can take
On your knees you look up
Decide you've had enough
You get mad, you get strong
Wipe your hands, shake it off
Then you stand, then you stand
Everytime you get up
And get back in the race
One more small piece of you
Starts to fall into place
Oh
Another classmate did her speech on How it Feels to Fly by Alica Keys. One speech I really enjoyed was on Psalm 23. I admired that the guy wasn't afraid to read from the Bible to our entire class and then explain about it. It's too bad I'm fairly shy about talking to the people in my class. I would like to get to know a few... My friend Persia is from that class but she had to work today. I showed her my poem that I plan to present and she really encouraged me to do it. I'm really nervous to share in front of people in the first place, let alone about a poem I wrote, but I think I'm going to do it. I'm going to push myself out of my comfort zone.
This is the poem I'm going to do:
Sailing 'Till Sunrise
By me :)
No matter what is changing
When I'm anything but sure
As long as I keep moving
It will pass me by
As I wave goodbye
To the scenery ever changing
I feel a small glimmer
Of hope within me rise
And within my eyes
As skies light grows dimmer
I see a mournful ship
Sailing 'till sunrise
Our ever thinking minds
Into mine I dip
I search for the answer
All seem like taunting lies
Will I ever find
A way to kill this cancer
That lies within my heart
Wreaking havoc inside
"In me confide."
A voice whispers int he dark
My heart soars
But then I fear and hide
"Please come to my side."
There are steps int he corridor
They echo inside me
Making me cry
So gentle and kind
Yet I don't want to see
That if I just let go
Things will get better in time
{End}
Yeah, so that's my poem. It's very personal but I'm going to share it with my class. I think I'll probably just write some thoughts down to go with it so I don't blank out completely from being so nervous. Wish me luck?
Anyway, later today, after Japanese is done, I'm going to go to youthgroup! What's the big deal, you go every week? Yes, I know, but this week is preparation for a giant event our church puts on! Our whole youth group is getting together to pack bags of food for people who need it. They will be distributed on Saturday with other things like clothes, toys, furniture, etc. It is a lot of fun and goes all day.
A friend from school here is coming, as well as Mnonaa and Bree. It should be fun but I'm a tiny bit nervous since my school friend is coming.
I'm going to work on my speech now interwebz,

I took a walk
I took a walk down a long long road
I passed an old abandoned home
My shoes, they squished the sodden earth
I found a creek gurgling in mirth
I found two quarters on my way back
I smelled lilacs as I continued my trek
The clouds lit up with golden light
and I couldn't help but smile to voice my delight
The pinks and purples were hidden from view
as I turned the corner to return to you

Just a sigh
Just a sigh
Missing old times
Times of code names
And exploding smiles
No i'm not saying
That everything has changed
I just wish
That some things were the same
Missing old times
Times of code names
And exploding smiles
No i'm not saying
That everything has changed
I just wish
That some things were the same
Happy December!
The snow is being blown like glitter in the wind.
A few flakes frolic wandering on their own
The sun pulls back its comforter of clouds
And even though the glitter is still flying through the air
Liquid crystal forms and falls
A few flakes frolic wandering on their own
The sun pulls back its comforter of clouds
And even though the glitter is still flying through the air
Liquid crystal forms and falls
