Good Riddance, to the Stars
It's just that I don't mind that I'm alone
because when I'd sit there with you outside
to watch those dazzling bright white lights they'd chide
"Please go away right now!" And with a groan
you'd ask them why and they'd reply "A bone
we have to pick with you. You stole our pride
and glory. Leave! Please go!" And terrified
you left, your brain filled with this great unknown.
But why am I happy you're gone? Now that
you left I watch the stars, still lighting skies,
and realize why they're mad. You shine so bright
you put them out in their own habitat.
Now that I'm here and you are there their guise
I don't deny. Good riddance, shin
One sunny day I felt inclined to walk
about the park. So there I went and there
I met three strangers on a bench. Oh, fair
they were and kind, as we began to talk.
The first one had the odd name Love and balk
he never would. The second, Life, his stare
so glad, was fragile like he might just tear.
The last was Happiness who flaked like chalk.
We sat around until Time came and they
began to change. From Love came Hate, who said
nothing and never cracked a smile. When Life
saw Hate he changed as well. Now Death, the day
he stole. Then Happiness, tear streams he bled,
he turned to waxy Woe but scarred by Strife.

The woman I am in my dreams
has long wavy hair of the deepest brown.
She wears what she wants
While shopping she goes for what she likes
and it's always in her size
She travels the world,
She's a globetrotter
To Finland, Ireland, and Japan
On a boat, on a plane, via train
She hold her head high
Smile, brightly white
She pursues her passions,
can sing every note
can carry a tune
and bake a cake
Her words spin a web
Her novel best seller
She's a bright young journalist
A raw poet
She is proud to be her
and her friends, she has many
but at the end of the day
once I open my eyes
That woman can be me
and someday it will be
Hey.
I've been inspired.
I'm here to love strawberries and pineapples and everything in between
To tolerate brussel sprouts because my mother made them for me
And to fall in and out of love with everyone
(Even characters in books).
I'm here to be something for someone else
And to be what I thought I never could.
I'm here to make cookies for soldiers who send me love notes
To make sure everyone belongs somewhere
And to make sure they know it.
I'm here to be a hippie and wear peace signs and worship lava lamps
To obsess over sweet tea and fried chicken
And to never count calories.
I'm here because I'm supposed to be...
Vodka is cheaper
Than dinner for two.
I made wonderful blueberry cookies. They taste like wonderful, anyways.
I'm about to graduate. What?
I should write more.
