If you really knew me

If you really knew me I can be funny but completely serious at the same time.
I really care about other peoples feelings

If you really knew me you would know usually I don't like being tall.. but sometimes I do
you would know I have been watching the same TV channel because I can't find the remote that goes with my cable box.
you would know I'm kind of lazy
you would know if I put my mind to something I'll do it full out!

you would know I like to make people laugh
you would know I am the worst decision maker.
you would know I really listen to you when you talk

you would know sometimes I wish I never went to that first dance class.. but I don't know who I would be with out dance.
you would know I am going to miss the creative writing class

you would know that my friend and i are freaking hilarious and don't know why people don't call us.. LOL
you would know I like rap, r&b music and chill music too. it depends what mood i'm in
you would know my dog is really annoying and hasn't stopped barking in the last 5 min

you would know I don't mean to be funny.. I just talk and people seem to laugh.
if you really knew me you would know I enjoy learning
you would know I only have milk with my cereal.
you would know I am a very very picky eater
you would know I would like to write more things but I keep getting distracted and can't think of anything else to write.

Jealousy

After I read this poem I was pretty jealous I must say.  They described a great summer that anyone could really have. I wish I could have been the one that was writing about my own summer that I got to experience.  I love how they would describe the color of the pool and say things in a different way. It really inspired me.  I hope my my next summer will be that good!

Shake the Dust

This is for the people with dreams.
For the older people still wishing they were in their teens.
This is for the future me.
This is for the people that can't see.
Keep it cool.
This is for the people that are hurt inside and out.
This is for the people that have no doubt.
For the strong and weak people.
Keep it cool.
This is for the people that get love struck.
For the people that get hurt with love.
This is for me. no, this is for you.
Keep it cool.

Gandhi

I keep forgetting to say hello, 

I keep forgetting to say see ya later instead of goodbye, 

I keep forgetting to say thank you. 

My brother keeps forgetting to put the toilet seat down. 

My friend keeps forgetting to pay me back for the 3 lunches I bought them.

I keep forgetting that I am myself and no one else.

If we keep forgetting things when will we be able to own ourselves completely? when we remember to do things?

You have to walk outside take a deep breath and think..

Its a full moon so tonight is not the last time I'll see the light. There is always a bright new day tomorrow

My Journey

I didn't really know what was going on I would wake up everyday at my house in California and see more and more boxes packed up.  I'm sure my parents told me that we were moving but I wasn't paying any attention.  I had friends but I was outgoing enough to find some new friends.
The car ride was a long car ride. But watching Baby Geniuses made it more entertaining.  It was definitely a new environment. No palm trees, warm weather, and waves.
I meet some new friends in the neighborhood and played with them over the summer and had some great elementary friends. Those were the days.
Now everyone is growing up and going their different ways throughout high school and figuring out their future for college. As everyone is busy with their new big kid lives.
I'll never forget the good old days.

Oridinary world

Her world.
My day is pretty much the same everyday
going to dance, school, going to dance again, coming home, going to sleep. Saturdays are always different but I'm usually dancing or sleeping.  But then one day everything changed. I broke my foot. Dancing. The doctors say I can't to anything involved with dance anymore. I can for sure walk possibly run. It made me think about things like... who cares what the doctor says, and how greatful I am to have to ability to walk.

Will she not listen to her doctor and dance anyways?
Will her foot get better?
What will she do next?
