You throw on a mask to achieve the task;
You wanna be cool! That's too much to ask?
You'll paint on a face, compete in the race;
You won't get a taste, can't speed up the pace.
Made weak as you seek the tip of the peak,
Your "friends" turn their cheeks, accept your defeat.
But No! You'll move on. It's time to be strong.
Been hurt all along and told you were wrong.
But now you will fight, fight on for the right.
A lightening struck kite; you'll fly high and bright.
Goodbye dear dark night! Behold my delight.
Your flame will remain throughout the game's rain.
When they're all the same, disgracing their names;
You won't be the main...but will feel no shame.
For of all you've gained, one cannot complain-
You've made your own name, you will not be tamed.
I Am Made From
I am made from the music inside me and the concerts still with me.
I am made from texting, chilling, rambling and discussing.
I'm made from old pictures left dusty in a cardboard box, Ben, friends and more.
I am made by lasting memories, bright soaring fireworks
And a pillow made by his warm and caring chest.
I'm made from his eyes shooting smiles on my lips that then leave an imprint on my mind and soul, (easily accesible for later.)
I'm made from the A.M. in the car,
From the kisses that say "I love you" for the heart that can't speak for itself.
I'm made from the ring, necklace, teddy bear and puppy
From the moments given to last forever.
I'm made from the songs that speak the un-speakable words...
From the "Rawrs" the "Oh gawshs" and the less than threes.
I'm made from Valley Fair, my cabin, Axe, Tommy Hilfiger and Holister;
I am made from the moments spent with him.
Cookies
Standing in my kitchen
Arms embrassing me from behind
Fingers getting dirty
Smiles and giggles bursting un-controllably
Egg shell in the batter
A grin resides on his face
Arms gone to wash their hands
Pushed over to the side
Egg peeling taken over
All cookies turn out well.
Chocolate
Hard decisions being processed
Head swirling around and around
Decisions made, time to cry and cry
Reach out to the chocolate
Something finally creates a sense of happiness
Something inside is finally satisfied
But it's all that brings you closure
So you reach for some more... and more and more.
Trying to leave behind what used to make you whole
Chocolate is all that's left, cherish it above the rest.

Playing with Poetry
(Final...revised)
Make your wish
Learned to expect the years come and go,
Life will stay... day by day.
Lights burning vigorously on the cake,
Listen, you're supposed to hear him say;
Oh dear, another year's past and,
Obviously we've made it throughout;
Only suddenly you think, what if it's not conveyed?
Outlived, those candles burn out.
Very unpleasant to think,
Valentine...presents...Lost.
Vacant now is your heart and soul
Viewing your mistakes and their costs.
Enough though, the song's been sung,
Effort takes paramount now;
Even we can transform our destinies;
Empower our wishes somehow.
(Original...not final)
Together
Knowing it will always be
You just expect to see the day
Candles burning all around,
You expect to hear them say;
Congratulations, another year past,
And I love you more than ever;
But then you think, what if they don't say it?
What if the chain is severed?
What happens if it doesn't come again?
What if you've lost it all?
Wishing you hadn't taken it for granted
Watching lifes' meanings fall.
Take my hand, there's still time left,
Time to change the future now.
Together we will change our destiny
Together we'll make it somehow.
Little bit of background on that poem. That poem, (if you didn't figure it out) was comparing love and relationships, more specifically my relationship with Ben, to a birthday. (Oh and it spells love all the day down, if you didn't see that too, which you probably did)
It supposed to talk about how you always expect your birthday to come, you learn to live and know that there will be a next year and you'll have your birthday and it will all be great..so you just kind of let it happen. Same thing with relationships, you expect things to go well, to get to your anniversary and be all happy.. or you expect, after you break up, that you'll get back together and everything will be ok and he'll say he loves you and all is well. But it doesn't always work out like that. Sometimes people die unexpectedly, or their relationship dies and everything wasn't better in the end. All those presents you were gonna get were lost and forgotten, you've lost your bf/gf/valentine/love of your life, and the candles on your cake burn out because you weren't there to blow them out yourself. Things don't always work out the way they're planned, but if you love eachother and you realize now that things don't always go as planned, you can change that. You can work together to make sure you're able to blow out your candles and make a wish, and then do all that you can to Make your own wish come true. which was the point of the title. Not to simply make a wish and hope, but to make a wish, then put effort into making your wish come true. The word Make was the only on capitalized because it was supposed to be more of Make it happen, as oposed to simply making it, but i don't think anyone would get that unless i explained it.
oh well.
oh, and the song that had been song was supposed to be happy birthday, which is then when you normally make a wish and blow out the candles.
oh and even less obviously but still there,
when you viewed your mistakes and their costs...it was talking about taking life and your lover for granted by just letting things go by, expecting things to get better all the time with no effort put forth.
oh and "effort takes paramount now" meaning you've thought about what could happen if you just let it all go, now the most important thing/only thing you should be focusing on is putting effort forward and try to make it work out.

Love is like a....
Love is like super glue; It holds important things together and won't let you down, and no matter how hard you try you will never forget it was there.
Well things are going better with Benjamin kind of, we had a fight last night but we got through it which for a while i didn't think we were going to. But I think if we didn't really really care about each other like we do we would never be able to make it through some of the things that we have so, I guess in the end I don't really mind fighting because it just makes us stronger. He's not very happy with his girlfriend right now which I can't say I'm surprised about because she's in college, has a ton of guy friends and I'm sure isn't used to being so "held back" considering her longest relationship was four months. But yeah, I guess on one hand in it's kind of good for me because that means that he's beginning to think of me and how good we were together and how much he misses having a relationship that actually worked. Like, he asked for me for advice the other day because he doesn't like how she hangs out with other guys all the time but doesn't want to talk to her and sound controlling but he doesnt' want to just let it go either because it really does bother him so he didn't know what to do, so I told him to just be straight forward with her and talk to her and tell her it bothered him but he didn't want to control her and he said he didn't feel comfortable talking to her and wasn't sure if he trusted her and that he doesn't think that she's comfortable talking to him either because she went to other people to talk about the problems or doubts or whatever that she was having with him and whatever I don't even know I'm just going to let things work out the way they work out and if we end up being back together then we end up being back together and if we don't then we don't I just want to be happy and try not to get too stressed about it beacuse that just seems to make everything worse.
Well I think I'm done now so, yep.
k bye

The Presence of Love
The Presence of Love
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
And in Life's noisiest hour, There whispers still the ceaseless
Love of Thee,The heart's Self-solace and soliloquy.
You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within;
And to the leading Love-throb in the Heart
Thro' all my Being, thro' my pulse's beat;
You lie in all my many Thoughts, like Light,
Like the fair light of Dawn, or summer Eve
On rippling Stream, or cloud-reflecting Lake.
And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you,How oft!
I bless the Lot that made me love you.
Love of Thee,The heart's Self-solace and soliloquy.
You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within;
And to the leading Love-throb in the Heart
Thro' all my Being, thro' my pulse's beat;
You lie in all my many Thoughts, like Light,
Like the fair light of Dawn, or summer Eve
On rippling Stream, or cloud-reflecting Lake.
And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you,How oft!
I bless the Lot that made me love you.
This poem's talking about how much this person loves their partner and how happy they are that they came into their lives. It also talks about why they love them and what the other person does to make them so happy.
A methaphor he uses is "You mould my Hopes", comparing her to a carpenter and his hopes as the clay.
