Still I Rise by Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Dear Jake,
Yesterday, when I was in the car driving to the mall to get some things from the Hallmark store, I was listening to the "Wicked" soundtrack again, and even though it makes me cry, I listened to the song "For Good" . . .
So I wanted to write down some of the beautiful lyrics here so that my friends will understand why this song means so much to me:

Please don't judge me only for who I am now.
A person who is sick and doesn't do much.
Please know that I did have a life once.
That I did love living life and had many goals and dreams.
Just like you.
Please know that I used to be very active.
I used to love to go in-line skating.
That I used to LOVE to dance
and did it as often as I could!
I even took lessons...line dancing, swing danci...5 Recommendations16 Comments -
THE MAGIC SMILE
THE SMILE YOU SEE UPON MY FACE
DOES NOT ERASE
MY PAIN
THE SMILE IS THERE
SO YOU WILL BE
MORE COMFORTABLE
WITH ME
THE SMILE IS THERE
TO PROTECT ME
FROM UNKIND WORDS
AND THOUGHTS THAT MAY BE
THE SMILE IS THERE
SO I WILL NOT HAVE
TO EXPLAIN
THE PAIN
THE SMILE WILL HELP
PREVENT
THE MOOD FROM CHANGING
TO GLOOM
AND DOOM
THE SMILE IS THERE
TO MAKE ME BLEND IN
AND FEEL

Perfectly Imbalanced
I'm a lover and I'm a fighter
I'm conservative, but I'm liberal too
I will agree & disagree with you
Sometimes hot, sometimes cold
Never young, never old
Perfectly Imbalanced
in so many ways
happiness and sadness on my face
found in the nights, lost in the days
there are dreams I chase
I'm in a perfectly imbalanced place
Things are black, others are white

No, it doesn't get easier with time.
The sun continues to rise,
to shine warmly on those who walk
this earth, living the life of
innocence.
Unaware of the formidable pain that is just
a breath away from any of them.
They don't understand what if feels
like to be empty inside,
to lack depth,
to be a shell of the person they once were.
And, mercifully they will forever live
the life of the unaware.

This is s poem im working on, this is draft one. any input would be apreciated :)
She is the nicest girl you will ever meet
But you will never know her name
You would never even talk to her
Because she seemed far too plain
She stood with a heart as bright as the sun
But exclusion and isolation clouded her soul
You could have picked her up and cleared her skies
But you laughed and heckled her, forcing he...1 Recommendation9 Comments -

This garden had many lovley flowers, but I found this one especially interesting so I took it's pi...3 Recommendations8 Comments -
One of the most enjoyable day trips I love to take is to grab my digital camera
and go to the zoo. These pictures I took over this past weekend at the
Point Defiance Zoo.
Imagine my surprise when I looked at the photo and saw what I
snapped. I just love this picture.
Another great picture that happened by accident. I love the expression
of the girl looking at this moon jelly fish.
