To Be- Poetry

I see how you look at her
I know you love her
But what you don’t know is
I don’t really want your heart

I want your thought
To be good friends
To talk to each other
Like before

I want you to care about me
And me to care about you
But not to kiss
Not to hug

Just to chill.
Be like back in high school
Before you left
Before you came back

I don’t want a relationship
I want a friendship
That’s all
But you can’t see that

You only listen to her voice
Telling you
I’m bad for you
I’m not

Give me a chance
To care
To be friends
That’s all

I feel

I feel like dying
Cutting
Crying

I feel like losing it
Screaming
Running

I cant feel nothing
Not no more
Not ever

This is the day I hate

MERRY CHRISTMA

Greenville College

Hello there blog readers! How is life treating you today? I hope fantastic.

I know my life is treating me great for the most part. I still have my job and that is a good thing. But what has me extremely excited right now is that I have applied to Greenville College. Yes that is that Christian school that I have talked about for three years. My dream school. And I have took a jump and applied. Right now I am on the holding list. I only have to send in a few more things, References and such and they are going to officially consider me.

I am praying so hard that this is the right choice I have made. To move out of state is going to be a big thing for me. But I trust god that his hand is in on this.

So I hope that Greenville accepts me. Just thought I would say that.

Headache

This story starts off boring and probably stays boring just saying.

Saturday my brother Sean and his lovely Girlfriend Courtney came up to Michigan from Ohio to stay for the weekend.  They made the 5 (or more) hour drive safely. But it was shocking to find out that the tire was falling off the car. We went out for lunch to World Buffet and we were going to head to Tracy’s house. Thank god dad decided he should check out her tire and make sure it was okay to go. Because he noticed the tire need new lugs. Well we got the stuff and on the way home to put them on the tie came off.. while we were going down the road. So we ended up staying at home.

Well late that night we decided to go to the movies. And the movie we decided to watch didn’t show until 11:59pm. So we were out rather late. By the time we got home and I was getting into bed it was about 2:30am Sunday morning. While I got into my bed and went to lay down I Hit my head on a shelf above my bed.  And I hit it hard. My head has been hurting since. But I did go to E.R. last night. They did a cat san and checked me out. I seem to be okay. And I am rather glad that I am. But my head still hurts.

So point being I so want to say the shelf popped out at me. Or my pillows move far back… but I can’t all I can say is BLah MY head still hurts. But at least I’m not dizzy no more. 

Bring Back The 90’s

Okay so I am just about 19 (1 week 6 days). And that really doesn’t matter. But I am normally loyal to what is known as ‘Christian Music ’. Bands like Hawk Nelson, Thousand Foot Krutch and Skillet  (Plus many more). But when I was a young girl around 6 and 7, I was really into Pop. But not what we know as Pop now. It was backstreet boys, Britney Spears and once in a while N’sync.

Lately I have found my self listening to BSB and Britney A LOT. I mean once you have a love for something you wont loose it. And that totally sticks with BSB.

Now when they did their spilt Brain did his own thing in the ‘Christian ‘ Music world and heck yes I was glad.  But when I herd the news BSB on AMAs I was like they are back together it’s not  a lie YAY.

Therefore I have so much more of a reason to Sing BSB at Denny's while I’m working. Even a bigger yay.

Want to hear even better news? My mom filled me in on this BSB and New Kids On The Block are touring together OMG. I so want to go. Down Fall it’s not coming to Michigan I want to cry.

So yes I know I’m just rambling on but the point to this was

Keep the Backstreet Boys Rocking and Keep Britney amazing and I’ll be happy to keep them in my mix

I LOVE BSB ha-ha.

Cutting Edge (Poetry)

It was the cutting edge
That lovely silver razor
So sharp it could slice through anything

It was a release
A freedom
A way to loose the real world

I thought it was the best
When I learned it was the worst
It wasn’t right

This cutting edge was harming me
Taking me away from life
From reality

It was killing me
I was dieing
A Slow death

Losing who I was
Find it hard to live life
Because it was an addiction

It was like a drug
I couldn’t go with out it
I need it

The cutting edge took me on a battle
One that was hard to fight
One that I had to learn to survive and I did

Now I no longer want the cutting edge
No longer need it
Because I am free from it

VENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The last two days I ‘m not sure what has been up with me. I just haven’t been myself. And of course that always is weird.

But I got to thinking maybe I just need to vent about a lot of the most crazy, and random things. So here it goes…

1. People expect you to be practically perfect and flawless. I can’t seem to go a day with out argue with my dad. And I’m not blaming it on him. But I feel like there is so much pressure. Trying to work, save money and do everything I’m suppose to do at home. And it just makes it hard to put on the smile later in the day at work.  When you have no choice but too.

2. Ex-Boyfriends’ girl friend or should I say “Fiancé”  contacting you. I can’t not try to talking to Brandon as friends with out her trying to but into the conversation. I’m not trying to steal her man. I don’t know why she thinks that. Then after calling a certain thing  and then telling not to talk to Brandon because he wants nothing to do with me, But she can go ahead and friend request me on Facebook. When he isn't even on my friends.  I don’t know where she got the idea from, unless it’s because I said I want no drama.

3. I wish I was making more money. Don’t get me wrong Denny’s is treating me really good. If I need a day of they try to give it to me. If I’m sick they let me call in. It’s just the dumb high way being closed off and the fact that we haven’t been that busy that I haven’t been making much money.So if you live around Grand Ledge MI get your butt in the Denny’s there. THANKS.

4. Don’t call me when I’m asleep or tired.

So yeah. I’m frustrated right now if you can’t tell and trying to keep it cool. I guess life is just life.

I can’t

 

I can’t tell you what it’s like
To Go insane
I can’t tell you what it’s like
To loose your mind

I can tell you
What it’s like to hurt
I can tell you
What it’s like to cry

I know
What it’s like
To stare at scars
To feel them

To rethink
What I did
To wish
I could rewind time

To take them away
To have never found
The razor
To never have taken the chance

But now I’m stuck here
Staring at myself
Wondering what went wrong
Where I lost it

I can’t tell you
The answer
I can’t
Figure it out

Invisible

STOP
Right there
Where you are

I’m here
Can’t you see me
I’m standing here In front of you

Look at me
Talk to me
I HERE

Don’t you see
I see you
I can hear

Why…?
I need you to hear me
I’m here

Aren’t I?

Love=Waste (Poetry)

 

You wrote the words across my heart
You carved in my soul with your eyes
Taught Me what it meant to care

I knew love when I saw you
When you taught to let the scars heal
That digging up the past was a fresh wound

You kept me from going Insane
You showed me how to smile
When I really needed to cry

But now that’s gone
Its like river bed that ran dry
Love was a waste of my time.

Every minute we were together
Every second that I whispered to you
Was a waste

It never meant nothing
It was just nothing
I was NOTHING to you

Cutting Edge (Poetry)

Cutting Edge
That’s what it was to me
Something new

Something fresh
A little swipe here
A little blood there

It was no big deal
Sure it hurt
But that went away

But then
It tore me apart
Broke me down

Made me someone I hated
It created a monster
Left me lost

I needed to be delivered
Needed to be set free
Needed a better release

I had to let go
Of this cutting edge
Of this dangerous thing

So listen when I say
Don’t get caught
In this Cutting edge

The Message (Poetry)

This is the writing on the wall

The message is unclear

In fact it’s a mess

The

        Words

Are

                    Scrambled

All    

Over    The     Wall

                

Written

Sdrawkcab 

It’s like it was never meant to be read

Like it was meant to be a mess

Yet one with a message

But you have to read between the lines

               Love

Try to make sense of the this mess

                  Is

Figure out what the message is

                   Here

Try to find it when it doesn’t seem so clear

                    Now

When it really is

                    Open

It’s there in from of your face

                      Up

Right there

                    Your

Under your nose

                        Heart

LOVE (Poetry)

Dedicate to TWLOHA www.twloha.com

One slice that’s all it took
The tears shed didn’t matter
The pain it was good
It was a new rush
Like going at a high speed

One slice that’s all it took
To make her world fall apart
To create an addiction
To create Harm
To hurt her worse than ever

No one understood
No one ever has
It was like a drug
Like a need
One that drove her insane

But love was what it took
Love brought her back
Love healed the wounds
Maybe the scars live
But love conquered all

Dream (Poetry)

I watch the sunset
I watch the pink orange and purple fade
As it become night
I dream of you being with me

I dream of holding hand
While walking along the pier
In the hot summer heat
Under the blue sky and bright sun

I dream of laying in the cool sand
Staring up at the stars
Being side by side
Just laying there and talking

But its all just a dream
A dream I have woken from

Listen-Poetry

Listen

Don’t get me started on you
When I’m dropping these words on this page
Don’t Get me started on you
When I’m telling you how I feel

Everything seem to be about you
About what you want from me
Not what I need from you
So shut up and listen

Hear me out
I’m tired of being pushed to the side
Tired of being just another thing to you
I  should mean something

You should want to tell everyone about me
About how amazing I am to you
About how much you love me
But you don’t

I just don’t get it anymore

Stuck-Poetry

Staring straight into the emptiness
Not knowing what is ahead
So many choices
So much heart ache
But maybe I found the answer

Taking a breath
Thinking of this is right
Should I give this a try
Or stay far away

My heart doesn't know what to do
My heart wants to love
But it isn't sure how
I want to find someone
Give it a shot

But maybe this emptiness is better
Maybe love isn't needed
Maybe this is right
I can't say

Maybe I will never know
Maybe I shall give this a shot

Used to be Me: Poetry

 

That girl you see there
Sitting Alone
In that corner
With the black hoodie on
That used to be me

See how she’s so silent
So quite
You can everything around her
But her
That used to be me

Do you see that one her arm
Those marks
The lines
They stick out like a sore thumb
That used to be my arm

Don’t  you see the blood
The scars
The scabs
How bad it must hurt
That used to be my arm

But what you don’t see
Is how much emotional pain she holds
How much heart ache
How many tears she has cried
But I know

I know because
That used to be me
I used to be her
That girl
Over there in the corner

Candle-Poetry

The
Rain Ke-
-Eps falling
Crashing down
On my roof top I’,
Not sure where to hide
Its going to crash down
Just like everything el-
-Se in my life. Like
The tears the I
Cry at night
As
If
This
One
Shed
Of
Light isn’t enough
To keep me happy
To keep me awake
To help me realize
That there is more
Light than the is
Dark. That I make
My life what it is
That It’s not up to
Anyone else that the
Choices I make are
Up to me. That I
Need to keep my
Candle burning to
Remind me of the
Light, to take away
The dark. That I can
And will heal. That this rain storm will
Blow over. That I will have more light
Than this candle. That god will show me
Where all the true light is.

Blah Day

I’m not exactly sure what I am writing about. Or why I am writing this right now. I think because today is just one of those days when things seem not to make sense.

Today for wasn’t rough but it kind of sucked.  I went to work today hoping to work 8hours and I only worked 4 in a half. I know that I still made money it was just a little frustrating. I know I have to take what I get. I like the people I work with. They are all really kind to me. And I like my job. I just hope I start making some more cash. But right now it is no big deal.

I also screwed up the computer. I locked my mom account somehow and I don’t know how to fix it. I feel so dumb. I guess I just need to be more careful.

I know life happens and I am going to have these blah days. I just wish today wasn’t one of them,

KL

Who Knows? I don’t.

I don’t what to say really. I have a very boring life. I still have my job. And I thank that. I guess everyone there really likes me. I was kind of surprised by that. I didn’t think they would to be honest. I guess I’m more like able( should that be one word l.o.l.)  than i thought.

I still have o license and just a permit. I guess that's my fault I never do ask to drive. I’m kind of scared. Part of me has a fear of driving. Sometimes I am even scared to be in the passenger seat. I’m not sure why. I have never been in a car accident.

I haven’t been to any concerts since Day zero. I haven’t talked to anyone famous since that night. Which I’m still glad I got to meet Trevor.  That was a grand night.

 

 

Destiny Is going good. I’m on chapter four. After restarting it about three times. Its insane. But I think I finally like where I am going with it.  if you want to know more about that you can go here http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fearless-Writing/108895779161899?ref=ts. That link should work. I also post my poetry there. Though I post it here too. 

 

 

Something to close this with…

Meet Me: The girl who doesn't care what people think. I'm un-proper about the way I speak sometimes what i write. I don't want to follow anything that anyone says is Proper. I want to be different. Make a stand.
I die my hair
I wear make up
I'm me
I wont change for anyone
I will respect people and what's around me.
I believe in god and Jesus. To me its a relationship not a religion
I live to sing and write. That's my passion
Didn't know any of that then you didn't know me. Now you do.

Tears (Poetry)

I want to cry tears for you
Teas that tell a story
Stories of Bright blue skies
And Of the dark black nights

Things that get hard for you
And no else sees that
You suffer each day

Just trying to get by with out losing yourself
This is life for you day to day
Going to the home, with all that screaming

To the shouting
Home to where the anger is felt in the air
Each day you being to hate your life

Living on the edge
Trying to make it end
Shedding the invisible tears

The ones you only see
That you only feel

And know sees what dwells in you
Only me
Because I am you

The Turn Around (Poetry)

The tears fall from her crystal blue eyes
Her cheeks becoming a flush pink
No one understands why she cries these tears

The anger she feels is like a hot blazing fire
The sadness she fess is like the blue ocean
So big, but so lonely

Feeling that no one can understand her pain
Her life filled with anger, fear and Hate
Always telling everyone that she will be okay

When deep down inside she is crying
All she knows is how to hide pain
Hide the anger

The world makes no sense to he
It’s a shattered place
And all she’s searching for is something greater

Only to find a friend
Someone who shows her the way to Christ
To turn everything around

Now living for one thing
And nothing else…
God

Jesus (Poetry)

The pitch black taking over
The light disappearing as he suffers

Each sharp crackle of the whip,
Making him want to scream

Blood flowing like a river from his body
The nails piercing his hands and feet

The cloudy gray sky, taking over the sunny day
Screams Cries coming from those around

Why did he suffer like this..
For us who seem so worthless

Worthless Compared to him
Worthless compared to his kind soul

But to him we meant something
We meant love

He suffered for us
So we could live and be forgiven

Forbidden Love (Poetry)

Aching, deep down inside her heart
Never understanding why it must be this way
She loves him and will always will

He says he loves hers, That he always will
He says words that bring on a smile
That make he cheeks turn pink

The feeling of his gentle touch around her waist
The feeling of his tender lips on hers
The feeling that can’t be explained when everything is perfect

She wants to show him that he means the world to her
Give him everything she has
But she knows its wrong

That her mother wouldn’t approve
That this love is forbidden
Will always be forbidden

Even when she loves him so

Changing Future-Poetry

Two different colors of skin
Black and White

Two Different worlds that we grew up in
The slave and the slave owner

When we were told that our society should be this way
But now… Things are changing

The future is coming
Yet we are still from two different worlds

Black and White
Two separate schools

I go to one where we are all white
You go to one where you are all black

I had new books
When You had old

The future is coming
We belong together

But the color of our skin still separates
But we intergraded

We are in the same buildings
In the same rooms

Yet our future is still changing
We need a point where we are one

Where the color of our skin no longer matters
Where black and white no longer matters

We need to live the same life
This is what was meant to be

We need to live up to what people fought for
We need diversity

We are ONE

Ignoring is Ignorance (Poetry)

A new world to begin
A new night to end
The world goes on and on
We keep going on and on
As the sky changes from blue to black
Ignoring everything we see
We don’t realize that people out there are dieing
They are losing everything they earned
And we… just go on and on
People are out there hating each other
Trying to die,
Murdering the innocent
But all we do is go on
Go on with our lives as if nothing else matters
We need to open out eyes
Look and see what is going on around us
Because we need to be the change
Stop ignoring
Because ignoring is ignorance

Confusion (Poetry)

I will never understand again
                Not tonight.
Things seem to be all over the place
    The words
            Scattered on the page
Not making any sense.
    I’m so lost…    I can’t figure this one out.
Things just keep
            F   
                A
                    L   
                        L
                    I   
                N
            G
Apart.
Its all so confusing
            I feel like it has all came to an end for
Me…

Words (Poetry)

No one gets how bad this bites
That I’m freaking out
Deep Down Inside

They don’t understand
The fact that I want to scream
And say don’t go… Don’t do this

But they don’t get
Because I’m to silent
Trying to figure out the right words

The ones that really mean goodbye
Please try to stay safe
To survive

Don’t let this be a final goodbye
Live strong
And do your best to stay alive

I know that’s not what you want to hear
But as you know we all care
We… Your friends and family

This is just our plea
Live life and stay strong….

Final Goodbye- Poetry

I’m trying to forget you
Every part of me wants you gone
Along with all of those memories of us

We didn’t match up
It wasn’t right
I just couldn’t do it no more

I cried as I deleted your phone number
I  cried when I said goodbye
You must understand this is for the best

Its not that I don’t love
Its not that I don’t care
Its that I can’t lie anymore

We were never ment to be
We were way to different
I just need you gone

Its not out of hate
Its not out of anger
Its out of fear

I wont let you hold me back
Or tell me that you care
When part of me knows you wanted to use

I’m not your wind up toy
I’m a person who matters
This is my final say in this matter

My final and last goodbye

A missing Part-poetry

They tell me it never really mattered
The fact that he never wanted me
That he never got to see my face
Or hold my hand when I was a kid.

I tried to believe them
I forced myself to think
…I am better off with out him
A man who doesn’t want me

I tried so hard to fall apart
Not to cry
He was replaceable
I had a step dad who cared
Who loved me

But somehow that was not enough
I felt empty down inside
I was slowly dieing because I didn’t have him
The one who helped give me life
I feel so lost sometime

Part of me is missing
Part of me I will never know
Why does this suck so much
Why must I be the one losing out

Where Have You Gone-Lyrics

Staring at sky
Looking for your eyes
Feeling so lost tonight
Without by my side

Where have gone?
Where have you been?
I need you to hold tonight
And tell me it will be alright

My world is falling apart
You’re the one that holds my heart
And I want you tonight
I need you by my side

Where have gone?
Where have you been?
I need you to hold me tonight
And tell me it will be alright

I feel like my worlds crashing with out
I’m coming undone
Why can’t I find you tonight
Why did you leave me here alone

Where have you gone?
Where have you been?
I need you to hold me tonight
And tell me it will be alright

I need to find your eyes in the sky
I need you to tell me that it will be alright
That god is holding on to us tight.

Look To God-Lyric

Each day we must take step by step
Never knowing what’s to come
Where to look
We find that we can’t always make it on our own
We need a higher power to lead us to the straight and narrow
Life’s just not easy on our own

Sometimes its hurts
Sometimes its fine
No one understands how we feel inside
Life isn’t ever easy
Always seems to be rough
But we can get through
Someway, Some How

God waits for us to call upon him
To say we need his help
To wait on him instead of making our own way
He’s waiting to make life a little easier
Because with out him it’s so hard to go on each day

Sometimes its hurts
Sometimes its fine
No one understands how we feel inside
Life isn’t ever easy
Always seems to be rough
But we can get through
Someway, Some How

God’s waiting for
He’s waiting right now
Don’t give up
Not now, Not ever
He’s waiting

Sometimes its hurts
Sometimes its fine
No one understands how we feel inside
Life isn’t ever easy
Always seems to be rough
But we can get through
Someway, Some How

Look to God

Life Less-Poetry

Tears flowing like a river…
No ones watching,
She’s all alone tonight

No one understands all this emotion
The fact that she has never been alright
No matter how okay she seemed

Deep down inside…
She was losing it
Screaming out for help

Even when she would slowly drag that blade across her wrist
As the blood flowed
And never stop

Even when she cried out
God save my sole
Save me…

…
…
…

Before it was to late
As she laid there
Now lifeless

UNTIY FEST; Day Zero

On Wednesday I took a trip up to Muskegon Michigan to go to a concert. It was day Zero of Unity festival. Which is there free day. Since I had the day Off work I was able to go and it was so amazing. Four bands performed at it. And that was, FM STATIC, VOTA, FIREFLIGHT and THOUSAND FOOT KRUTCH.

Fm Static started the concert off. Now I am a long time dedicated fan of theirs and I have all three of their albums. And they are really great.   They had a late start and if I’m right it was because of a late plane. So they had to cut their set list short. But it was still amazing. Even though their were mistakes made I LOVED IT. I definitely learned something and that gave me more confidence in myself. I learned that even the professionals make mistakes and can go on. And That's something I am going to have to apply to myself because this is what I want to do with my life.

After FM Static was Vota. I’m not sure what I think of them yet. But were good and I think I will be adding them to my IPOD soon.  They seemed to be cool guys to and I will probably see them again.

Then was Fireflight who is amazing. They really rocked it out.  Not to mention after the concert was over I went to Wal-Mart and saw  a couple of the guy that were from this band. But i didn’t go up to them, cause I thought that would be a little weird.

Last was TFK. Which was my favorite part. 

I’m also really into TFK. and they rocked the show. I was so happy to see them. they played all my favorite songs just about. And I even got to meet all of them. I was more excited that I was able to meet Trevor. Because I look up to him so much. I still want to go get coffee and have a normal conversation with him. I think he is so talented and so cool.

LIFE: Work, ER, WHAT!!!!!

Hi my dear readers. Life has taken me on its train. Now that I am done with High School I have started my life.

I now have a Job. I work for Flying J/Pilot. Thats right I work at a truck stop. But don’t worry its not bad at all. I wash dishes in the kitchen. Which is sort of gross but it’s a job and I get paid. And being able to say that I have money is nice. The people I work with are pretty cool. I don’t think that I have found anyone there that I don’t like or don’t get along with. Its a nice place to work and I really mean it. But soon our restaurant will be turning into Denny's. I just hope they like me and that I wont lose my job or have to switch shifts. I like working days. Its a good time.

So that’s what's up with that. Now here's this BEWARE of cleaning product. Or any thing that you don’t know much about. Turns out I had an allergic reaction to one and it was not cool at all. I had to go to ER and find out what was up but hey I am fine now. So YAY.

This week is going to be grand. I have time off of work so I’m going on a two day trip. I'm going to Muskegon Michigan with some family and a friend. We are going to Michigan Adventures and a concert. And who out of all the bands will be there FM Static and Thousand Foot Krutch. I’m so excited I hope they do meet and greet. Cause If I get to talk to Trevor YAY :)

GOALS

So everyone has their goals in life right? I mean I know I have mine and maybe I wont be able to succeed in them all but I want to try extremely hard. My top 5 goals are…

1.Honor God-Be who he wants me to be, Do what he wants me to do

2.Meet TREVOR McNEVAN- Trevor is the lead singer of TFK and Fm Static. He is so talented in writing and singing he is so amazing.  He is my hero and my role model. I want to have a long sit down real conversation with him about music god and who knows what.

3.Become a Christian singer- I love to sing. I always have loved to sing.I think I have worked fairly hard to get better at singing and I want to work even harder. I want to do this and to honor god as I do it.

4.Have a family- I want to meet a really awesome guy and fall in love. And one day marry him and have kids.

Random Update

HI!!! Hey there my amazing readers… (Btw if YOU read this leave me a HI comment haha). I don’t have much of a life… shocking NO. I am still deciding what to do now that I am all done with high school. Which now is kind of scary to be honest.

You see I am from Lansing Michigan. Michigan has a really bad economy which makes it really hard to find a job. And it seems Lansing is really bad.  I have applied at place and can not seem to get hired. It is kind of lame seeing I  need money to take classes and get my Macbook Pro that I really really want. Oh and the Iphone when Verizon gets it.  But classes come first. Right now I am baby sitting for a couple from my church when ever they need me which helps. I jus started that. And Its fun the kids are really great.

I guess now that High school is done I want to figure out my style now too haha. Not totally. I already know how i like to dress and what not. But it never hurts to try a new hair style…right???  Like this => lovely hair style. Kind of cute right? I thought so too.   I know myself I like it.

Another thing..my poetry. I know I haven’t been posting much poetry anymore I have been having a hard time writing. I feel like I have lost my will to write poetry. I still try because I know that it is something I do love. I guess I just have to push myself again. I have been working on something a little different for me and once I know how I like it and how it feel I may share about it. But you may never get to totally understand it.

Also the 4th of July just recently passed by…I didn’t do

to much. I spent the time with my family. We went out to mason and watched the Ingham county fireworks it was nice.  We are food chilled out at the park and when night came we enjoyed the fireworks.

So what is to come next I do not know but I will keep you updated.

Death…

So here’s this weeks life lesson, Death Sucks!!! No doubt about that right? I mean someone we know dies and then we don’t know what to think. We cry because we are sad and then we wonder if we could have stoped it. And so on. Heck there’s nothing you can even do about it. I mean it is the cycle of life. We are born we live (for only god knows how long) and then we die.

Well this year  I have lost two people I cared about. No they were not family but they were close enough to it.

In February I lost a great friend. He was my friend Alyssa's grandpa and he treated everyone amazingly.  He would let my cousins, sister, and I stay the night at his house with his Grand daughter. Or my family would go there for a cook out and what not. But that all ended when he died. We no longer saw him, no where, not church, not at his house. And yup it was sad and it sucked.

And now I have lost another friend of the family. I didn’t know him so much now but a lot more when I was younger. I was still kind of close because the person I was telling you about in the above paragraph that was his father. Therefore I was around this guy too. Here’s the funny part you know you will always have the memories. And here’s one that would make you laugh….

When I was about 7 or 8 this guy was 17 or 18… I had the worlds largest crush on him and he knew. I mean he could sing and dance which to a kid that's like WOW! Well He knew it, everyone knew it just about. Well one day I got jealous cause he took a high school girl out. And I cried….and guess what I got in trouble with my grandma…she definitely wasn’t happy with me. But Him and I were just friends and always were friends though the age difference made it hard to be close friends.

And I will miss him and his dad a lot they were really cool guys. And really kind to my family and I. Life will go on  and I know I will cherish the memories…but they will be missed. By more than me….

DIPLOMA!!!!!!

That’s right i got my High School Diploma!

My Last week of High School was a couple of weeks ago. However It was a great last week. I did realize that my whole High school like almost only was in the choir room oh and back stage. 

I mean Yes I did other things too. But I know that I will miss these people and that it is going to be really hard with out them by my side everyday. But I am going to move on. And I know that I will never forget the people that had an impact in my like. To the teachers who pushed me to work harder. Like Mr. Lawatsch never giving up on me. And always telling me I could to do better. Or Mr. Bishop who believed in me and the talent I have. Not only believing but helping me to develope a stronger voice and learning life lessons in his coir classes. And Mrs. Childers, Mr. Miller and Mr. Mourning who let me act on stage and play with power tools and paint back stage. It was fantastic. Also people like Mr. Keckeisen who was there if I needed to talk to someone.There are so many people I need to and can thank. But thank to all the teacher I have ever had in my life. I appreciated all of you.

Sunday was Graduation day. And I made it to it. Some of you know High School was not always easy for me and I did struggle with it. But I did it! I got my diploma.

It became so real when I got to walk up to that stage. Its time to begin a new chapter in my book of my life. I’m not sure what I am going to do from here on out. Who knows yet.I know I will be trusting in God a whole lot. But graduation was grand. I saw my family and how they supported me. They truly cared. It meant so so much to me to have them all there.

I am to beginning the new chapter to my book.

TRUST

I always thought that I would be able to trust my friends. I would love it if my friends would not take things I say and tell other people. I was talking to my friend about someone I was very close to. And Now they have no trust in me. I feel awful and there is nothing I can do.

If someone comes to you and tells you about something they have done and ask you to keep it secret. Do keep it secret don’t tell anyone unless they are hurting themselves or are in danger somehow.

Also don’t go and talk to your friends about it. Because it will get around quickly. And then there is nothing you can do to take it back. And sometimes the words I am sorry can’t fix it and then you are at the point of no return and have screwed up pretty bad.

I am Sorry that I even found out what I did and that I told someone who couldn’t keep their mouths shut. I am so sorry. And there’s nothing I can do to take it back. This sucks

Night Before Mothers Day

Everyone has their ways of celebrating mothers day. I mean our mothers all deserver the best. Well this year my youngest sister and I did some cool stuff for my mom.

We had it planned to go buy gift because my dad offered us money too. Therefore we excepted his money and bought her gifts. We got my mother the August Rush Sound Track (Well Heather got that.) and I got her a body kit. Body wash, Lotion, Hand Lotion and Body spray. We also got her And Incense kits. A “Jar” The scented oil and sticks. Also came with two candles. Plus Roses and lilies and a vase.

On the way home some last minute idea came to my head. Wait correction on the way to Kmart for dad to let mom pick out her gift from him. I said Dad take us home. My sister and I did some cleaning and cooking. I cleaned she cooked. It turned out grand. It was the best night ever.

Mom loved everything. She even cried happy tears the best tears of all. Moms are amazing I love my Mother. 

AQUIRE THE FIRE 2010

HEY all!!! So April 30th and May 1st I volunteered at Aquire the fire. What is that you ask? It is the most amazing thing I have ever been to and seen. It is a youth confrence for Teens, Pre-teen, Pastors, Youth Leaders/pastors and parents. They go and learn so much more about god and get to have fun.   Straight up not going to lie I did it originally to get in free. I was like I will be an Usher so I can watch it and Just chill. But It became more than that. I saw things I wish would go on at church. I saw god move and change lives. 

There were a lot of cool things, worship, guest speakers, skits and bands. And originally I would tell you that my favorite part was getting to meet Everyday Sunday and Nick Spencer. But its not. It was a big Highlight of the weekend. However my favorite part was watching the youth.

I have been to many Christian concerts but this conference was different than a concert. I could feel God. I even cried. So many things said applied to me. I have had issues in my life that I let control me but its changing. And even more now.

I saw a bunch of teens and pre-teens on their knees praying to god. It was amazing!!!!! And watching them all worship together. I was glad I volunteered I learned so much.

I may have to volunteer again to get the love of god around me like that again. Even though gods love is always, ALWAYS there. And so is he.

Oh and to the Lovely Lady who told me I have good singing voce. THANK YOU SO MUCH. It meant so much to me. You don’t even know. You are truly amazing.

Also watch what you say in the hall. Haha. I think Nick Herd me but I pray he didn’t though I am kind of sure he did. I was talking to a girl I met about Everyday Sunday and she was also a volunteer. Well she help with camera cables therefore she was up by the stage. So I told her if I was by the stage where Nick was I would pass out. I want to marry him. And guess what Nick walked right by us as I said that. I think he herd cause he had one of those grins on his face. But I pray he didn’t. And if your reading this Nick now you know I said that Its cause your cute :).

But seriously Its amazing and real serious and cool. GOT TO ATF next year.

This IS What you Get

So lately my mind has been in like a million places. I have been up and down trying to figure a lot out. You see I am in my senior year in high school. I'm going to done in 30 days. And that is one of the biggest, craziest thing. I thought that I was going to know exactly what I want to do with my life. But turn out I’m wrong.

I know what I want to do. Don’t get me wrong. I just didn’t do well planning for it. I know that I want to be a professional Christian singer. I want to glorify god in all that I do. I don’t just want to do it for me. But, How am I even going to get there. I know it will take a lot of work. And I am ready for that. I’m ready to work hard for it. However I could have applied for college classes at a few collages to Study Christian Contempary Music as a major. I should have went and applied for the school. For that major and I am kind of regretting not doing it. But I guess I will have to work ten times harder now.

Another thing I really should have got a job. I am applying now and I know it will be hard to get one but I am trying. I’m going to need money to get my license a car pay for insurance. To get my own place eventually. And it will take forever I know. But I have to start somewhere.

So the whole point of this is to tell you don’t wait to start your life. Its something I’m not so happy about because now I am not ready for life after High School.

I mean Heck Yea I loved the things I did in High School. I loved all the choir activities I did. All the time spent in class working hard on music and then performing it with in the four years I have been there. Also working on tech and acting on stage. It was the best thing ever. I made many great friends. While having a ton of fun. If would of had a job maybe I wouldn’t have been able to do all of that. And I don’t regret it. I just wish I was more prepared.

So do what you can to be ready but don’t regret what you have done.

Drifting away-Poetry

 

No one cares about the broken hearted
The silent screams that come from inside
The tears cried at night in the pitch black room
She’s never felt so broken down
Never thought that a hand could so much harm

She tries to sugar coat it
Saying its all okay now it’s going to stay this way
Forever, never to change no more
When its all a lie
And no one bothers to pry the doors open

Inside she is slowly dieing
Losing everything she is
Pushing her friends away
Hiding the secret of death that hides around the corner
Not bothering to stop the dripping ruby red blood

It runs like a constant river
Like her tears that flow and flow
They can never stop
For everyday she hides how she feels
Trying to keep the attention away
To keep people from noticing she is broken

She is dying and no one is stopping her
They are all standing by
Watching her slip away
Farther and farther
Until she is no more

I LOVE YOU-Poetry

They say love never fails
That when someone say I LOVE YOU they mean it
But it does fails and those word are meaningless
Then your left broken shedding awful tears
Then they will tell you the broken heart heals
But I am the living proof that it doesn’t
Not with out a lot of work
Sometimes that work pays off
And Sometimes it doesn’t
I cant say I am over you
For I am not
I do miss your tender kiss
Of your soft pink lips on mine
And the way my skin tingled when you touched me
Your hands holding mine
Your arms wrapped around me
Holding me as I cry into your shoulder
I still love you more then the world
Maybe I’m wrong for feeling this way
But the truth is i still and will always love you
When I say those word I mean it
Its not a lie
It the truth
The truth that cuts trough the air

Sudden Changes

Its totally one thing I really do not like at all. I live at home with my sister dad and mom and now my brother…

I love my brother he is cool and all. And maybe the fact that he just got here. And I like my free space and our house is much more crowed now.

Is it wrong that I get annoyed so easily? Because I love my family and I missed my brother when he was gone. But Its weird and I don’t want to be the bratty 18 year old sister telling her 23 year old brother to give me my space.

Its gonna be hard because I am just now in this place in my life that I’m not sure where I am going. And what I am doing. I look at my older sister and she has her kids and a hubby who loves her. Then my brother who is struggling to go on but is a really cool and strong person.

I guess I’m just going to get used to this. I’m losing my space and will have to be nice and careful. Oh my what a crazy thing this will be.

SPRING BREAK 2010

Many people spend their spring break outta the city or outta the state. While others just do what ever. For me I went outta town but not onvacation. To what I call my second home. That would be my older Sisters Tracys house. I love my sister and her family. Her kids are fun and crazy. Sure sometimes they make me mad. And I have to punsih them when they are not lisening. But I do love them. I have had to deal with them say ing I hate you and no I don't have to listen to you. Your not my boss. Though at time I am.

We had fun going to my nephew baseball practice. Its his second year playing and he has a new team. But he liked it. He tells you that he doesn't want to play that he's being forced to but he really loves it. He loves it a ton.



And then theres my niece who reallt hasnt done much. She loves messing around with me when I got my camera. I was testing out some stuff with it and having some fun. She loves to pose infront of the camera. It kind of funny. But she's so cute haha.



But even though there were times when I got mad at the cute kids and argued with them I love them and had alot of fun at my sisters we are very...Strang hahaha. WIsh I had a pic of all three of us to share but I have different ones

Well thats all for now but its a grand break. I love my sister her hubby and kids...two days left till back to senior yeat :)

Why Do They Ignore

Recently someone from my school face a tragedy. One that I will not name but it was  very bad.

Now i don’t know who is suppose to know and who isn’t so maybe that is why things are the way they are. Or maybe people are trying to hard to hide the fact about it.

But my thing is when a student or friend from your school has something go wrong and we ignore it, it’s wrong. Why can’t we do something to help.

Show that our school cares about each other no matter who you are. Even if you are amazing friends to not even knowing them. Why is it that people go on with their daily lives and just don't do something.

I know it’s easier said than done but still i just can’t get over it. I want to say something and help but I don't want  to do worse so what is it…Go with the flow and ignore…or step up and help.

I’m stuck in the middle.

Younger Year

I never thought I would be the one writing about my younger years I mean I am only 18 so I am still very young but turns out I am writing about it. I am a senior in high school who is prepareing to graduate. Well with that I have been looking through alot of picture for an open house slide show. And Have been remembering the good days of childhood.

 

I had a really awesome childhood. I grew up with a loving caring family and we stuck together for sure. Not matter what. It was fantastic!! I also grew up very close to all 3 of my siblings. And all of my cousin. My cousins younger sis and I did almost everything together. Not saying that I don’t miss it cause I do. We are all so busy all the time doing what do. Playing sports, tech acting band and choir and sometimes we are lucky to hang out and that rocks =].

Also my siblings and I are all still close. Maybe even closer.Sometimes that happens when you grow up. Ha-ha. You mature and can stand each other so much more. But I still miss the time when I would ride on Tracy's back as if she was a horse. Or play Lagos with my brother. Or just chill with heather and play Barbie's haha good times.

And sure there were the times when you argued. Or found out things you didn’t understand till you were way older. Or all of our least favorite getting into trouble. But its all a package deal.

Heck now its time for me to grow up. Get a life get a job and move on from the past and make my future something amazing and great. But of course I am going to trust go with all of it. He is number 1 in my book.

But seriously Don’t forget all the awesome times in child hood and live your life the best you can. =]

Fighting Alone-Poetry

People hide away it the blackness of night

They shut away who they truly are

Hide as if that is how you get by

Pulling back the tears

Covering up the hurt and anger

Not showing the fact that they are always hurting

And those people are the ones who everyone thinks is fine

But that truth is THEY ARE NOT

So why do you look at her and say those are not tears in her eyes

That is not the face of the hurting

When the truth is she is hurting

Right now as you trying to complicate what is running through her head

She’s thinking thought that shouldn’t be thought at her young age

And you still ignore it

Still even though her golden brown eyes are shouting HELP ME

Then you just say goodbye and walk away

As she falls to the cold gray sidewalk and cries

Cries the tears of anger, hurt, and fear

Alone because you left her there alone

Fighting it all on her own

And ignored all the signs that were so visible

Shut Away Talent-Poetry

Everyday they try to say to live your life how you are suppose to.

They say you say you love to sing, that you claim music is your life

But you don’t live by that, You don’t practice, you don’t even try

But the thing is that it is hidden from them

The love of the talent is kept inside

The truth of what she can do she never lets out

For if someone was to hear what would they even think

She’s to afraid to show, To afraid to be honest with herself

As she keeps tearing herself down

Tearing herself apart just to keep it secret

Fighting it off

Hiding it from everyone

For who she is they will never ever know

They will never know the truth

Not until they allow it

Not until they will listen and not say

BE QUIET, STOP IT, TURN IT DOWN

Because until those words are sealed

She will never step out and show her true colors

The beautiful setting sky that she is

Will always and forever be hidden

Florida 2010

For my lovely Senior trip for 2010 I took an amazing trip with my Best Friend Hilary, her mom and dad and her grandparents.

First off all of them were so nice to invite me and allow me to go. So thank you guys!! Second I love the fact that they can stand me for a week. It was a really great time in Orlando. There were so many wonderful memories made. Going to Disney World, Universal Studios, Eating at Moon Fish. We had so much fun for one week.

  And I  really enjoy vacations it is so nice to get away from things for a while. As much as i Love my family to get away was grand.  We didn’t end up recording any videos but we did take a lot of pictures. Hilary and I did so many things that I normally wouldn’t do. Like act like a 2year old playing on a pirate ship. That is only something I would do with my best friend. But I think the greatest part was being surrounded by people who love GOD as much as I do.  I cant say for sure it I am ever going to get another chance like this but I sure hope i can have another awesome trip.  But it doesn’t matter because this trip has its wonderful memories that I wont forget.

Stealing

Hola friends what is up? Nothing much here in my world in snowy Michigan. But iahve alovely story and life lesson to share with all of you...so you ready for this...
STEALING IS WRONG DO NOT DO IT!!!!
People who know me know I lvoe my Nephew whose 10 and my Niece who is 8 more than alot of things. They are a big part of my life and will always be. However they have done one of the worst things they could do.
Their mom is my older sister we are 15 years apart. BUt really close. We my nephew and niece decided that it was okay to take money out of their mothers purse. Now my sister didn't know who did till they fessed up. And now they are both grounded for the very first time. No music, no video games, and chores till Tracys decides that it is enough. No normally their dad is the punisher but this time my sister had to do it and now I'm hoping they will and have learned.
So the life leson
1.Do not steal you will get caught
2.Punishment can suck but you learn
3. Moms can figure it out and enforce the punishment not just dads
4. Still love those who do wrong

Skillet Acoustic

 

Alright So today In Okemos Michigan SKillet did a free acoustic show. Now I was hopinf Korey Jen and Jonathan Chu would be there but they weren't/ Only Ben and John which is fine too =].

Well I actully like it acoustic. Skillet is an interesting and talented band. I enjoy watch and listening to them. And you know what made cool was doing their music acoustic. It was awesome. For people who haven't seen them 4time like me needs to see them Live in their way of Rock and Acoustic.

SO over a month ago I go tot go to one of the best concerts ever. It was the awake and alive tour on December 6th 2009. I was able to go because this was my 18th birthday party and it was one of the best night on earth. I had my best friend Hilary come and heck we made new friends. Andi, Jae and Coke. And We still talk to each other. ALl of us stood in line together for at least to hours. But when we go in we got seperated but met up again after the concert.

 

The concert started off with Decyfer Down. These guy rocked the stage. They were great to begin with. And then Hawk Nelson came on. My personal favorite. These guys alway rock the stage but this time alot more that before. Next was Skillet with their pyro and that brought on the heat. You can tell that the crowed was giveing love to all the bands. ALl of them are amazing musicaly and you know they believe In god and jesus. And they are not afraid to show it. Yay Jesus!

That night was the best night I had in 2009 two days after I turned 18. Now if only every teenager celebrated their 18th birthday in a way like this.

So everyone says that the Holiday are best with your family and that is totaly true. I spent so much time with my family,. But the most was Christmas day/ We had a blast. We got to see people that we don't see much even though they are part of our close famil. But everyone gets busy and christmas time it the time to catch up on all of that. But rember your family always not just on the Hlidays
