It's Your Turn

2008-03-15T00:31:42Z

“Your move.” Quip cheeps. He just took out a pawn. He sits there waiting for Chabbers to go. “It’s your move.” He repeats. Yet again Chabbers sits there looking down. “IT’S YOUR TURN !” Quip squacks loudly.
“I know.” Chabbers replies.
“Why aren’t you moving?” Quip asks crossly.
“I’m thinkin’.” Chabbers says. He looks at the chess board some more not daring to make a move until he is absolutely sure of it.
“Could you think a little faster.” Quip says impatiently.
“I sure could.” He says.
“Are you going to?” Quip asks after some scilence.
“Nope, wasn’t plannin’ on it.” He then picks up a castle and slowly moves it over. He begins to take his fingers off it then stops and moves the piece back.
“What’d you do that for?”
“I didn’t like that move.”
“Well you’d better like a move soon.”
“I’ll think ‘bout it.” He replies. Four more minutes of scilence and Quip can’t take it anymore.
“That’s it!” He yells stubbornly. “I quit! I quit! I quit!” As he walks away he hears Chabbers call.
“It’s your turn now.”

When I Was Just A Little Girl

2008-03-08T17:54:28Z

When I was a little girl, I thought that one day I would do the impossible. People would look at me thinking I was the greatest person on Earth. I would reach for the stars and never give up until I caught one.

But now, it seems like everything is backwards. When you reach for the stars, you like a moron stretching.

When I was a little girl, I thought that my dad was superman. All little kids think that their fathers can do anything and everything, I knew my dad could do more.

Now though, my dad needs help for everything and superman only exists in comics and stories for me.

Once, when I was little, I always had an imaginary friend. Well, more than that, I had an imaginary friend, an imaginary bunny, an imaginary cat…. You get the point.

Now, I realize that an imaginary friend can only do so much. When you’re older your imaginary friend can’t hug you and tell you everything is going to be okay like a real friend.

Little kids have odd minds, don’t they? It’s hard to think I was one of them.

An Inspiration Of Love Challenge.

2008-03-02T14:50:15Z

“Hey Ty!” I yell across the hall. He looks then turns away quickly. I frown and turn to Jesse. “I just don’t get it anymore. Last year he was determined to have me. He hated all the guys that liked me and tried to protect me from every little thing that could’ve happened. Now, he’s never there. He doesn’t call back. He only talks when I can catch him. Does he really love me anymore?”

“Do you really love him?” Jesse asks me annoyed. I nod. “Hmmm. Well I don’t know Eley. I still can’t believe you could love him after what he put you through. Then you’ve got Nick. He loves you to pieces. I can see it. Whenever you bring up Ty he gets a murderous look on his face. We all know that Ty isn’t good for you anymore, how long will it take you to know?” She walks away.

I know she’s right. Breaking up with Ty won’t be easy, not after six months. And I know I can’t be with Nick. I just don’t like him that way. This is a win-lose-lose situation. Nick and I lose and Ty wins. My sister’s right, Karma is a bitch.

Please come soon

I’m feeling light as a feather
Got a load of my back
Lately it’s been so much easier
Since I pulled him up.

Turns out I was wrong about
My decision to “help him out”
And when he begged me to not let go
I just smiled and said,

“I don’t think I could’ve
No matter how hard I’d tried
Because it would’ve been too hard
To watch you go away like that.”

And I pulled hard
To save your life
When you came back
I almost cried
To know that you
Were finally safe
And didn’t want to leave

My friends all call me crazy because
No matter what you do
I still won’t give up
I believe that
You will come through

You’ll come back
You’ve proved to us
That if we hope
And if we trust
Then everything
Can be the same
As if life’s just
Some little game

But patience only lasts so long
And time runs out too fast
And we’ll give up eventually so come soon…..
Please come soon.

This might not make much sense to you. I noticed I change my mind a lot but if you were in my head you’d get it.

I think that I'll......

2008-02-24T14:11:27Z

Instead of my best friend
He’s the one I talk to
When no one’s around
Because that’s when it’s best
When we’re alone.
We’re alone so he doesn’t worry.
Worry about what his friends will say
Worry about what I’ll think later
Worry about the things he’ll have to say
So he can be cool again
Worry about hurting me
Because he knows that
I’m not the strongest girl in the world
When it comes to holding my tears

Instead of the only one I trust with my feelings
He’s the last person I’d go to for anything
For fear of how much he’d repeat to people
Now I have all this stuff bottled up in me
Stuff I can’t let go of
With no one to talk to
So I live off of those alone moments
Anticipating them
As if I’m a starving child
Who’s finally getting some food
Trying to block out the thoughts escaping me
The thoughts telling me that soon enough
I won’t have any food
And will be starving again

Looking at this I think I might have to let go of him. I know he’ll fall but it’s what he wants, isn’t it?

Trapped

2008-02-20T16:42:34Z

Fallin into the trap
He don’t know how to get out
I’m holding onto his hand
But he’s slippin’
Wonder if he really minds

Ditching his friends after school
Thinks it’ll make him look cool
Called him up on the phone
His brother says he’s not home
He’ll call me up in a little while

So I wait by the phone
But he never calls back
Says he got the message
But didn’t care about it

I’m thinkin it’s all my fault
My friends aren’t helpful at all
They like to blame me too
Can’t believe that I could do
So much harm in one summer

Wish I could change everything
Go back to last year
If only he hadn’t
Come back for that day
Maybe it would be easier
To let go of his hand
So he could fall faster

Prince Charming

2008-02-16T18:36:00Z

Who says I want Prince Charming?
Every little girl dreams.
Dreams of the day
When her Prince Charming
Will come.
I always wanted that fairytale life.
I waited and waited for him
But Prince Charming never came.
Did he forget about me?
Did he simply take a wrong turn
And decide not to ask for directions?
Has he foud another princess?
Am I too late?
Now, I know that he’s not coming.
But who is?
Do I get some one?
Anyone?
Even if he’s not a prince.
I want to have some one who calls me immediately after leaving my house.
Just to be sure
That I’m okay.
I want him to hug me
Arm wrestle with me
Talk to me
And call me when we’re fighting
Even though I’m too stuborn
To pick up the phone
And forget what happened.
But he’s not here yet.
So I wait.
Sure I’ve kissed a few frogs in the meantime
But he’s the boy who won’t mind my impatience
And will laugh it off with me.
So maybe I do want Prince Charming.
But not Cinderella’s.
Mine.

You're Not Alone.

2008-02-13T01:40:07Z

Everything has changed.
The people who used to love you
are now so far away.
Your friends keep a great distance between
you and themselves
and your world’s not the same as before.
Remembering those days
when you would run and play.
You were just kids who didn’t know much yet.
Those things you never knew
are what you wish had been kept away.
It was all the hurt.
All the anger.
All the things that children don’t know about.
How sometimes
people change
but it depends on whether
it’s right or wrong.
When you find yourself
needing them the most
it feels like they’ve all gone away and left you here….
alone…..
in the dark….
you see a light.
There is some one out there
calling your name
and they know just what to say.
“You’re not alone.”

Life's not always sunshine and butterflies....

2008-02-07T00:28:18Z

Life’s not always sunshine and butterflies. Sometimes you’ve got to deal with spiders in the snow. It’s not about waiting for the storm to pass. It’s about learning to dance in the rain. Life’s not about what other people can do to make you happy. It’s about what you can do for your friends. Life’s not about waiting for something to fall into place. It’s about making it happen. Life isn’t about shying away from the battle. It’s about finding the courage to fight when you know you may lose. Life’s not like being in a play. You can’t always go backstage, change your costume, and come back as a different person. Life’s not about worrying about problems in the future. It’s about enjoying where you are now. Life’s not about perfection. It’s about looking beyond the imperfections. Life’s not about wanting more. It’s about thanking God for what you have. Life’s not about fearing failure. It’s about taking a chance at success.

No matter how many times these things are told to me, I can’t seem to remember them.

A Lesson I Learned The Hard Way.....

2008-02-05T23:49:08Z

Mom always said people change. she meant for the better….

I was afraid
didn’t like gettin up that morning
thought no one would like me
i felt so alone
then i got to the building
immediately i was introduced to three new people
met up with my old friends
got a life
got a boyfriend
it was all good
then he changed
he left me
i went from being the happy-go-lucky girl
to being the depressed one
in one day i lost everything
my best friend
the one person i could confide in
my joy
my happiness
my love
and then
one day
he decides to come back
says he’s been being stupid
he misses me
he wants it to change
so we go back to the old times
well
for a short while
then
just as quickly as it had come
it left
and i was again alone
i cried myself to sleep at night
i couldn’t look him in the eye
part of me was dead
the live part was aching
it was like an everlasting hell
to which i was banished
by my only one

yes, people do change
but not always for good.

Filthy Purebreds!

2008-01-28T01:56:35Z

Oh no! The box is being dropped. Darkness closing in. His face is no longer visible. They cant! They wouldn’t! He wouldn’t let them. Or would he? Lately that man has been so… so… out of it. If I hear a….. Click. Too late. I can’t even think things through before they happen. The box is secured now.

“Tommy?” I whisper. “Tommy.” I repeat a little louder. Then shouting, “Tommy! Tommy where are you?”

He left me. Like so many others before. Why do the galations always question me? They treat me like a liater. I’m no liater. I’m one of them. I’ve been with them my whole life. Mum was a galation. Dad too. So what do they have against me? Is there something I’m not being told?

No! I need to get that idea out of my head. If I wasn’t a galation they would’ve driven me out of the town the moment I was born. The stupid little purebreds. I can’t beleive I’m one of them. If I had the choice I would be a liater. Like Emgie. Emgie from so long ago. Just another distant memory. Hiding in the back of my mind.

Random Ramblings About Jeremiah

2008-01-27T02:54:01Z

Even though people think he was Jeremiah was not a bullfrog. He was a goliath frog. Most people have never heard of the goliath frog. They say Jeremiah was huge so he must’ve been a bullfrog. If he had stripes would they have called him a zebra. Knowing society probably. Well, society can’t be trusted in the naming of frogs, especially when the letter ‘J’ is involved. I mean look at all the things out there with ‘J’ in them. Jab. Not a pleasant thought huh? Jar. People keep bugs in jars and they die. Jail. It wouldn’t be fun to go there. Think of poor Jeremiah. Of all the letters in the alphabet they pick ‘J.’ Coincidence? I think not. By George some one must do something. Save the goliath frog from Jeremiah’s evil ways. Jeremiah is actually a girl! I mean come on. What man would sing joy to the world with little children? And whats up with joy to the fishies in the deep blue sea? Some of those fishies kill him. I think that Jeremiah was a made up plot to occupy children everywhere. But it won’t fool me!
