Dear Brother,
Why won't you talk?
Why won't you cry?
Why won't you open up with what's hurting inside?
The struggle and pain, the constant fear.
Darkness unknown but it's creeping so near.
You follow others but you won't take a stand.
Why do you turn away?
I'm holding out my hand.
I can't help but cry at the "Remember whens"
When did you stop living?
When did this ugly life begin?
You feel the love is nothing but a trap.
Your family, your friends, we're tired of this crap.
We all know frustration, we all know pain.
But now, for us, that comes when hearing your name.
You think wrong is right.
You feel you have to fight.
You'
Do we have to kiss?
Do we have to flirt?
Do we have to cuddle on the couch so close?
Do we have to hug?
Do we have to hold hands?
Do we have to give gifts so the world knows?
Maybe or maybe not.
But what is it then?
Is it trust?
Is it understanding?
Is it making you laugh when you're blue?
Is it talking?
Is it smiling?
Is it always staying true?
Is it acceptance?
Is it encouragement?
Is it helping you be you?
Is it grateful?
Is it happiness?
Is it compromise too?
I find it hard to believe that a simple "I love you" will do.

1. Who would make a better college professor, 6 (Will) or 11 (Lilyth)?
Definitely Will. She's old and wise and can always spot liars. Lilyth is too impatient and would scream at the students and maybe crack her fiery whip on one of them if they pissed her off enough.
2. Do you think 2 (Brandon) is hot? How hot?
Hmm. That's a good question. I p
I don't know what's wrong.
Stop asking, I can't tell you.
And for the one who won't,
You're the one to scream at.
Built up frustrations,
They upset friendships.
I'll hurt.
I'll snap.
I'll explode.
Don't say there's nothing wrong.
The fuse is already lit.
Don't say it's not your fault.
My bomb is ticking close to the surface.
Don't put the fault on me.
I'll take you with me when I blow.
Don't think that I don't hurt too.
Tick.
Tick.

When the Sun Goes Down
I smile and laugh in the sinking sun.
My goals and dreams are so bright.
I feel as if no harm can come.
I'm in this blissfully powerful light.
The sun then goes down and my world turns dark.
On my bed, I cower in fear.
It is not of the night that I dread,
but of the troubles that creep so near.
When the sun goes down, the future is haunting.
I'm nagged about making a good grade.
I don't want to take a new life of hard work,
and for all the fond memories to fade.
People worry about themselves daily,
while the rest of the world's in devastation.
There are true horrors that we all suffer.
And yet, we can't
I'm Gonna Fight For Me
I've got the power deep in my heart
I feel the magic within my soul
I can't go back, don't know where to start but, I keep on going, keep tryin'
I'm confused and I can't really see.
What's my true destiny? What does fate mean?
Juggling schol, love, friends and family.
Can I accept life? Or do I live in a dream?
We've been special girls since birth.
We're charged with powers to save the earth.
Normal life, where is that now?
Chorus:
We are, the Guardians of the Veil!
We will make sure good will prevail.
My heart will always let me see
to protect all that are good and free.
I can't fight forever,
I'm telling you to stop. Stop listening, stop watching. Stop caring about this person who never cared about anything.
Just run.
That's all you were ever good for. All you could "care" about was getting away from the bad things. That's right, you understand this concept. Just pick yourself off the ground and start moving your feet.
But I can't move.
Don't you know that I have to go? This may be the only chance I have to go back, to fix things. Why won't you let me move on?
I kneel on the wet asphalt and stare into the black. Black skin, black jacket, black faded ripped jeans that bring cold water in contact with my knees. My eyes are rubb
The Journey
From my heart, my beating heart,
Let my words fill my soul
Work hard, you'll soon get there,
Keep your mind on your goal
Move slowly, move steadily,
And don't forget to smile
Always know, always remember,
Loving yourself takes you a mile
Don't feel pain, no frustration,
Have a positive attitude every day
Jesus loves me, I do too,
And I'll improve my life in every way
Love others, help others,
Show how much you care
It matters not, your money or weight,
Or even the clothes you wear
Nobody makes me, I'll always know,
Get good grades and stay drug-free
Make the right choices, make it happen
Nobody controls my dest
Life passes by with a wave of my hand.
I am happy in empowering love.
I feel joy wiggling my toes in the sand.
As my dreams fly to the heavens above.
From flower to flower I watch the bees.
I whistle along to the songs of birds.
The animals swim in the nearby seas.
I sing their music, but don't know the words.
Leaves and flowers grow brightly on the trees.
Loved ones stand by and wipe away my tears.
My hair and clothes flutter in the cool breeze.
I learn from mistakes, growing through the years.
Music, books, movies, let my freedom soar.
I want to live life, that's all I ask for.

Yo! Amanda here. I'm a Sophomore at my university and tutor for many hours so I would like any extra valuable time to be spent being as bored and ditzy as possible. I hope to get better at writing and to finish my book (just a few chaps away from the conclusion, though probably not publishable). Either way, I'm studying to be an English teacher for intermediate grades so I hope I make it! ^^

So I went to Orlando Florida for the best vacation ever at both Universal parks! The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was so amazing, I cried when I saw Hogwarts for the first time. The best part was that I got to spend it with my best friend and my best online friend (who I got to meet for the first time). In short, they were the best 4 days ever.
Then I come home and my life falls apart. Not only do I hate summers because when I don't have a job I'm treated like worthless dead space whose only purpose is to provide slave labor at the house, but anytime something great happens, bad things tend to hit twice as hard. My grandpa has been narrow
Last week was Dead Week at my university. We call it that because it makes the transition into Hell Week so much easier if we are already dead. My Finals this semester are not nearly as bad as they usually are. I have one class that didn't have a final to begin with and my political science test has no final if I attended every class (which I did). So that just leaves me with my reading class final (which is some sort of online reflection paper on what I have learned about being a Reading teacher), my chemistry/physics final (help. me. god. But bless the heavens it's my four previous tests combined), and my Intro to Literature final (which I'
looks like I only make a note when I'm on a break from school lol. Well it's Easter Break and I'm back home again. It's been okay so far, like I got to go to the mall and buy a couple of books and watch Scream 4 (again) with my brother. I'm away from school and yet I get no break from it. I am constantly with my friends at school and now I have to share a room with my brother, forget having alone time to just chill since I need any amount of alone time to do my homework. These next last few weeks of school are totally gonna suck. The only thing that is keeping me from an anxiety attack is going to Florida after finals are over to go to the Wi
