Believe Me, I Know

K, so not a whole lot has been going on right now, so i figure i'll post some things i've written for, well, whatever.
So, this first one, is a poem i wrote before i realized how lame free verse is, it does develop some rythm though which is why i like it.

Jungle

It's a journey we all must take,

For some, it's a cave, a desert, an ocean

Mine, is a jungle.

Too afraid to climb trees,

I creep along the forest floor.

A Tigress

Camouflaged from my prey

My target is fast and hides easily

I must strike

Before it leaves me helpless

When I pounce

I change

No longer afraid, I'm left a new challenge.

A Bird

Young, not having left my nest,

I must try my wings

Let them strengthen and grow.

I must leap

Before I'm pushed into the real world

My wings catch the wind, and

I change

No longer carried or fed, one last challenge

A Snake

Skin hard and pale,

Ready to shed

But afraid to touch the rock.

I must change

Before I'm forced to lose myself in a new

I rub the stone.

Skin falling from me

I change

A woman

No longer looking over her shoulder

No longer shying behind other glories

No longer behind youth

Ready to move forward

To change

K so, that's that. now this one's more interesting. Cuz it was more something i thought would be interesting to do.

Dear Future Husband,

I love you, and there are some things that need to be said. I know there will be times when we fight, all relationships have bad times. But does that mean we sacrifice all the good times to avoid the bad? No. I love you. And although I can be stubborn, selfish, cynical, and sometimes downright mean--I can also be faithful, loving, warm, and even, sometimes, funny. You probably drive me crazy, with your weird little habits, quirks. But it's the little things I catch every now and then. The way you play with our kids, how you'll get me little trinkets, just to prove you're always thinking of me. The smirk on you face after you've made me laugh, the way you hold me, terrified I'll shatter on contact. We'll make plans to do things together, and things will get in the way. I'll be hurt when you say you have to stay at work a little longer, but don't worry, it'll make your home coming that much better. If I forget to mention how lucky I am to love you, know that it's on my mind, and I'm trying very hard to SHOW you.

-With all my heart, I love you

Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care

Wow, so much to talk about, so little time. Okay, so the past little while has been pretty crazy; first, there was preference, then region band, *yay! we went to state!* then a big ordeal of a funeral, then Senior Ball and a lot of other things in between. So to start out we'll say it starts with preference, yes i asked as usual but it doesn't matter this time considering it's a girl ask dance anyway. So i asked sariahs brother ammon, and instead of typical style dance day *is anything typical with me?* i had work then we went to dinner, so that xs out the day date and group. then i went to the young women broadcast after which we went to pictures, where i asked if i could hop in with another group for pictures *cuz i have to have it all* After that we went to the dance which was held at the Ford car dealership. haha i came home early from that which is funny cuz i don't think i've stayed all the way through a school dance, but stay for every stake dance. I had fun. So then there's this thing called condo week, where my friends family gets together and rents a condo for the week, *actually, it ended up being two weeks but i don't mind* I gotta spend some time with my friend Shy, swam a LOT, laughed even more, and started liking him more than i expected to. the next week was Senior ball and i didn't get asked *:(* as usual, but i got an email from Parker saying he was on spring break, and that he might be able to come down and go with me yay! so i got all excited, bought the tickets and for some reason, decided i should have a back up person, so after everything was figured out, i waited for him to email me telling me whether or not i would be going with Parker or Shy. Then the thursday before Senior ball i get the email, saying he wouldn't be able to come down :( *pout* but i had a back up plan remember? so i call Cheyenne and thank goodness *even though Parker and Cheyenne are two different guys so i no longer had a group that he'd be comfortable in* and once again thank goodness, he said yes. So friday was REALLY busy, i get home at 4:00 with maybe a half hour to clean and get ready for the next two days. I went to babysit 2 dogs, and 2 toddlers, in other words i had to have 4 sets of eyes and a lot of arms. slept over at sariahs house, and sang at a funeral the next morning, which, i thought i sounded dreadful *why people insist i sing in public, i'll never know* anyway, so the WHOLE ceremony, if we include the luncheon at the end lasted from about 11:00-3 or 4ish so i had an hour to be ready to be ready for cheyenne to pick me up. When Shy got there he did NOT faint *told you so Sariah* haha and we went to go do pictures which we xd out when we decided to go waste money on a not even half eaten dinner haha again. I think we drove more than anything else, which i think Shy LOVED, and we only went to the dance for about and hour, then went to go see 17 again. I officially love that movie, and Shy and i agree that that's the best school dance we've ever been to.
