More poetry.

If love was a page.
My page would be unwritten.
For I am young and naive.
And often bitten.
By the ones I let in too close.
Who think my heart to be a joke.
And cast me away.
Into a bin full of waste.
Am I waste?
Am I a waste of time?
I don't even care if any of my words rhyme.
I have no structure.
I have no chain.
I have no master.
I am no slave.
I enjoy walking where no other has been before.
I see beauty behind closed doors.
I want to be someone remembered.
Loved and cared for.
But all hope just seems lost now.
Should I care anymore?

Shorter, sweeter.

Procrastination is a pain,
I cannot afford to let it win again.
I work too hard to be thrown to the ground.
Struggling, helpless, I scream, no sound.
I often think of a town so mellow,
And in this dream I'm a happy fellow.
I do not want perfection,
Only grace, and fine protection.
For, perfection is a substance that can never be attained.

Poetry is kind of a big deal..

Here I stand,
At the mercy of a windstorm.
In the arms of bulletproof glass.
I am so protected,
but I can still fall apart.

Here I stand,
feet on the ground,
shoulder to the wall.
Relaxation is overrated,
destiny will call.

Here I stand,
In a hole dug six feet.
There is no telling, here,
Whom all I might meet.
Take me foward.

Here I stand,
In the light of all that once was.
In a galaxy of unknown.
Don't even ask.
You are not allowed to know.

Finals, Finals, Finals..

I had finals this morning...it took about 3 hours. It wasn't too hard though. It was for English Comp 1, in which I have an A. We just had to pick a topic and write an essay about it. It was fun..I have quite the imagination. I need to work on my Algebra 2 grade though :/ ACT's tomorrow morning. We'll see how that goes. Later for now ;)

Seems like it's been forever..

It's been so long since I last wrote in my blog. Not much has changed. I got my driver's license, and I've been through two vehicles so far. My first vehicle was a '92 Chevy. It was a good truck, it just sucked up all of my gas mileage. I had my first wreck :P I was talking on the phone with Hallay, and got a little distracted because unbeknownst to me, that was the day Montgomery flooded. I passed a car-lot that was completely submerged in water, did a double-take, said "What the?", and turned around just in time to see all the cars in front of me stopped. I'm not a half bad driver, so I took control of the vehicle and maneuvered it to the left, clipping their tail-light, and landing in a ditch full of mud. It didn't hurt my truck, but it smashed up their light. Now I drive a '95 Honda Civic, and I LOVE it. It's a 5-speed, and I absolutely LOVE manual transmissions. It's grey-ish blue in color. I'm no longer in a relationship with Hallay, that ended a while back. I'm currently in a relationship with the love of my life, Katie Glynn. She's by far the most amazing girl I've ever laid eyes on. Just when I had given up, love found me :) And I am thankful...Thankful for all of the things that I have in my life. My grandfather ended up catching the cancer in time, and has long since been cured from it. Thank you so much for your prayers. He is currently in Seattle, Washington working a job to support my Nana back home. He wasn't able to come down for Thanksgiving, but on the plus-side he is killing the MESS out of ducks up there. I am so jealous. Anyone that knows me, knows that I have been duck hunting since I was 5. I miss him though. Thanks, guys..

In the blink of an eye...

My best bud, my pal, my Pawpaw. He is a man in his late 50's. He has given his life to God. He went to the doctors to have a bump removed on the back of his leg. Turns out, it was cancer. Merkel-cell Carcinoma. It's a fast spreading cancer. Once it hits the lymph nodes, it could be fatal. We think we caught it time. Please, God, let us have caught it in time. Pray.

Hello there, my old friend... :)

Yes...yes it has been a while. A lot of things have happened since the last time I wrote. Saturday was just a blasty-blast. I took Hallay to the Spring Formal <3 I had so much fun. I actually wish I could re-live that night over and over again <3 Sunday was a mess. Our drummer decided to quit the band the afternoon of the song we had to perform, just because we couldnt make the world revolve around him. Being the genius that I am though, I called BJ to come play for us. Our old drummer must've freaked out when he walked in and saw that drumset in there. He got a couple of spoonfulls of sheer humility that night, I can tell you that. We had the Grand Opening for my father's new office today. We had our family friends Tommy, David (Tommy's son), and Mama (Tommy's mother). He brought his hot-air balloon and put my fathers banner on it. Pretty good advertisement huh? I got to spend all day with Hallay :) Come to think of it, Sunday I turn 16. DRIVER'S TEST MONDAY! I can't wait. Maybe it means I can get out of the house more. Maybe it won't change a thing.... Maybe i'll become a taxi. It is pretty late. I got off earlier just to wake up and get back on again. But for real, i'm going to sleep now. I'll write tomorrow, I promise.
