Class of 07

Ticking my mind away

To the sound of the school clock

All I hear, All I live by, is tick tock, tick tock

No class is sound

No class is quiet

And if you listen closely

You can hear the sounds of the pencil riot

School is a mess

Undesired stress

I go tot sleep wondering was it all one big test

School's over, School's done

And all I have left to wonder about

is graduation

Was it all worth it

I inhale the aroma

As I walk the path that leads straight to my diploma

My mind is sound

My mind is quiet

No longer able to hear the pencil riot

My class is empty

Everyone's gone away

The last time I saw the class of '07

Was graduation day

I am Saved

I am saved. I am saved from an eternal life in hell. I am saved from myself. I am saved from the Devil. I am saved, because Jesus loved me so much that He layed down his life so that I could have eternal life. I am saved, because I have Jesus Christ in my heart. I am saved because I don't deserve it.

I am blessed

I am blessed. I am blessed because I have a loving family. I am blessed, because even after I screw up time and time again, God still gives me something to be happy about. I am blessed because no matter how bad I sometimes think life is, it could always be ten times as bad. I am blessed because God knows me inside and out, and He helps me along in my life. I am blessed for all that I have. I am blessed because of all the friends I have. I am blessed because God uses me to do His work. I am blessed, because I have a future. I am blessed, because I don't deserve any of this.

I am lucky

I am lucky. I am lucky that I was born in the United States. I am lucky I was able to find God, rather than something else. Wait. I am lucky God FOUND me. I am lucky that I go to a multi cultural school that has taught me open acceptance. I am lucky that I was able to go to a private school for all my elementary school and middle school life, to give me a concrete foundation on God. I am lucky I had a tough childhood, because it has taught me to never bully or make someone feel bad. I am lucky I have such a close and strong relationship with my parents. I am lucky I have two siblings. I am lucky...because I don't deserve any of this.

Not a Morning Person

so ever since school started...dating back to like elementary school, i have always had issues getting out of bed and getting to school on time. Infact i could count the number of days i have been up and ready to go before my mom was on like two hands. isnt that sad??? oi vei, whats going to happen to me in college? or in a job? oo, oo, i know i will just take late classes and i will just have like cemetary hours when it comes to my job. or i could just wake up early and not risk not having a life. who knows. maybe i will turn into a morning person. though i am no where near a morning person. and i HATE mondays. there so unexpected. i mean you have your weekend, and then you are forced to wake up and throw off your whole sleep schedule and go back to your weekday routine. cant we just skip monday and go straght to tuesday, because a 3 day weekend would be marvelous. and we SPRING FORWARD next sunday. yay! now we lose even more sleep i am so excited for that venture. well people thank you for letting me vent.

I am lucky, I am blessed, I am saved.

Changes

letting go is hard to do
moving on is a whole other issue
letting my colors fade away
only to find out all i was getting in exchange was gray
i tried to be mom, i tried to be God
i tried to take on a persona i was not

so now changing is a bit off
and i must find a place to up and stop
but i can do it with a little trust
for i know its something that i must

so parting my dear is such sweet sorrow
but i will trust God to take care of tomorrow

I am lucky, I am blessed, I am saved.

Breaking the Law

So i have managed to get yet another ticket...in a weeks time. I wish i could say that i know of other people who have done the same thing...but that would be a lie. So i got a ticket for running a red light. oh joy! not really...so now one of the tickets is going to go on my record and my fines will be atleast 600$ if not more. plus the price of traffic school. and court...lets not forget about court. Danget i am screwed. I need a job. I need to stop disappointing my parents and breaking their trust...that would be a nice thing as well. I just dont know anymore...stupid tickets...and i am not mad at the police officers, because they have a very tough job. I am just mad at the fact that it seems like now it is always me! always me! i just have to like not get any more tickets for 3 years and my one count will go off my record. but apparantly for me i cant even go for a week without getting a ticket. so pray for me...that i find a job...and that i just stop disappointing my parents...and that i can drive again because right now i have to be honest...i really really dont want to drive ever again...i would rather ride a bike or take the bus.

I am lucky. I am blessed. I am saved.

homelessness and poverty

so i am doing research on homlessness right now and i found shocking statistics about homelessness. such as 67% of homeless people are single parent families. and only 30% are because they are dependent on drugs and alcohol. and 40% are whole families with both parents. it breaks my heart to think of children living their childhoods on streets and in poverty. it just tears me up inside and i have been reading what they have been doing about the problem and so far i have found good plans....but where is the action? i have seen a lot of action but i kept on reading i found that the number of homelssness people just keep on increasing....on 2004 it incresed by 14% and who knows where it is now.

action needs to be taken. these people dont deserve to live like this. any ideas?

I am lucky, I am blessed, I am saved.
