Lost in Rome- Poem for Competition

Hello people. Today is a droopy type of day for this one. My best friends (and boyfriend) are beginning the trek back home. Today we are driving them to Austin for their flight. So yeah. I am a little down. My teacher even noticed. I must emit strength though, because the others are feeling weak right now. Someone must be firm. Strong. A beacon of surety in the darkness.
I will be emotional later when nobody needs me.
We should discuss something exciting....
LOL that is about how we all feel today.
On a completely different note, these past two weeks have reignited a passion that had slipped into icy slumber. Dancing. I had forgotten how much joy the art of that form of expression brings. It's physical, emotional, and takes into its grasp all of my being. Dancing is like a poem without words. Flight without wings. A battle. A duet. Two beings coming together to paint a living masterpiece. That is what dancing is to me. And naturally I want to share that joy with everyone. Sometimes I get hit with the avalanche of truth that other people just don't care about dancing. That is like, cold and sharp... but that is life. Some people just haven't felt the freedom that comes from the rules of dance.
Before now, I had been seriously considering going to the Air Force Academy for journalism and whatnot, but now maybe I think I want to either major or minor in dance and the teaching of it, and either major or minor in photography. Those are two things that I am pretty good at. My dad suggested that since teaching dance probably isn't something that I can easily live off of, that maybe I teach dance and also photograph dance professionally. I think that is a good idea. With that in mind, I am going to ask the dance teacher if I can be the photographer for the Silver Dazzlers. (Our school's dance team.) The soccer season is over so I am like, super free. It feels so weird to be honest. Also I am becoming a bit of a workaholic. When I am stressed about work, I attempt to soothe that by doing more work.
FYI, this is not healthy. If you relieve stress with physical work, that is fine. But if you just fill your schedule and wear yourself out, that is not healthy. I am pretty sure my Brute is gonna be like, "Take a rest." soon. To which I would probably respond by arguing even though he would be right. I work too hard.
Guys. Everytime We Touch by Cascada just came on. I am having flashbacks to when I was fifteen. AGH. I need to change this song.


Okay, we good now. Sorry, my fifteenth year was rough. Nothing bad enough to worry about. Just really stressful.
I wrote a poem recently. It is called Lost in Rome. It is about my adventure in public school. I also started a poem on Sunday, but I lost the paper it was on, so if I find that I will finish it and maybe post it. Here, Lost in Rome.
Surrounded by faces, faces that I know.
Some I don’t quite yet but soon will
As I wander about; lost in Rome.
I came not as a tourist, nor as a native.
I came with but one purpose: to save a life.
He told me, “you must go.” I came as a light.
I had a mission as well as a map.
I saw the sights and became entangled in the trap.
Darkness, lust and lechery;
All of theses surrounded me.
Discombobbled, confused and upside down was I,
As I wandered; lost in Rome.
One day, another came beside and looked me in the eye,
“You forgot your faith.” She said to me.
I had forgotten to open these brown eyes and see.
Looking around again and now I know
How not to wander; lost in Rome.
I came to make the darkness flee and to guide others safely.
I will no longer wander; lost in Rome.
Because my purpose is to guide you home.
Okay, that is all for today. Have a good one.

My New Pet Eublepharis Macularious

Greetings fellow residents of Earth. I recently had a brilliant idea. I want your opinions on this idea. Okay? Great. Here goes. My idea was that I should have a vlog that I post every so often, but it would not be like my blog. Instead, it would be a Bible lesson that I would work hard to put together just for you guys. Please tell me your thoughts on this in the comments. That would be pretty great. Alrighty. Now. Let's talk. My friends invited me to Six Flags with them yesterday.We had an amazing time going on all sorts of roller coasting rides. Turns out that two of our small group is terrified of heights. Me not included it would seem. I went on every ride approached by our party without fear. (Actually I was a little bit nervous for the Batman because my friend made it sound really crazy.) Before going to Six Flags, my mom and I had gone for a swimming/long walk workout at 6:45 AM and then had taken the kids to speech therapy (For my brother) and had also gone to the Chirop

First Post/ Finding Inspiration

As This is my first ever blog post, I thought this random writing rather suits the situation.  Enjoy. 😎   Here I sit, trying to find some inspiration for my pen to express on this page.  I close my eyes and let my thoughts sink into the depths of my soul in search of emotion.  All is pitch black, yet I can see; no, feel the dread beasts nearby.  Anger breathes down my neck while Ignorant Joy juggles knives in an effort to comfort Self Conscious who is weeping in the corner.  The more dangerous emotions I prefer to keep locked in steel cages.  To my left, Fear growls and tries to convince me to let him out.   Behind me, red hot Anger still heaves his fiery breath, singeing the hairs on my neck.  To my right, are Love and Trust.  By far the most dangerous of the group, yet also the most inspiring.  Together they conspire over an intense game of cards how they will soon rule the world.  I boldly approach them and twist the key in the lock.  They look at me with their crookedly beautif

Caroling and Christmas Parties

Hello Humans. That is how I have been greeting people since last week. You would not believe how many offended looks I have gotten. It is pretty hilarious. So you guys remember how excited I was that I was going  to put up Christmas lights with my friend on Saturday? Well it rained the night before, so we didn't do that. But! Before I get ahead of myself, I did get to go to a play at my school with LTG and his mom and my sister. It was pretty great, the play was fantastic. It was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and my friend-quaintance Daniel Oriano was the main character. I didn't know that he could sing and was left quite impressed.  After that we went home. It was pouring rain. Like so much rain. Saturday came. I went from sleeping to suddenly being awake. Which was fine. I believe that was the night that I had a terrifying dream. I shall relate the first half to you, the second half is just confusing.  It began with me in english class, which is 8th period. T
