some memories...
well damn i sure was a smart ninth grader. i found my english journal from mrs reid's class and it's pretty good!!
The Race
I can still remember that bleak day in December.
There was a sort of wintry-warmness that filled the air.
Then suddenly, out of nowhere, that horrible phone call came,
and all we could do was stare.
My grandfather ran to the phone so quickly you would think it was a race.
On the other line, a woman spoke sweetly and the muscles tensed up in his face.
He threw down the receiver with anger in his eyes.
He knew where we had to go, the hospital he despised.
We rushed to the car, speeded fown the road.
When we reached the hospital, we ran as fast as our legs would carry us.
Grandpa spoke to a woman and tears streamed down his cheeks.
I knew what was wrong and my legs collapsed over my feet.
I was on my knees and began to pray.
I prayed it wasn't true, and prayed to re-do the day.
Grandpa lost his wife and sorrow stuck his face,
he knew he had lost that race.
It's a race against time when someone dies.
Your body feels weak, and your heart cries.
I can still remember that bleak day in Decemeber.
My heart cried.
--- so i thought it was pretty good! although my grandma died in July so i don't know what that whole December thing was about. kinda weird.
Loneliness
I saw loneliness clearly.
She was feeble and frustrated.
She turned and begged me to stay with her.
I saw her hollow eyes and pale face.
I heard her pleading for company,
And I felt sorry for her.
----i like the last line...dunno why. keep in mind i was in 9th grade.
I'll put more up tomorrow or something.
today has been a not-so-good day
Instant Star is really good. it comes on Noggin. if you watched So Weird on Disney you would recognize the main character. she was the blonde girl that was only on their for a couple of seasons. she took the place of the brunette girl. and they would have her sing on the show a lot and stuff....well she sings all the time on Instant Star and she is pretty amazing now actually. she has red hair now and it looks freakin awesome. but the show is really dramatic and makes me cry every time i watch it.
still no suicidal thoughts but today was a really bad day and i just wish he would come home.
