« To be or not to be » Imitation
To love or not to love ? That is the question.
To give this boy a chance, or play it safe?
If I should take his reaching hand, what then?
There is no way to know where this shall go.
If dare I take this step out on the ledge,
And I believe the love which he doth pledge
If he deceives me with these words so sweet
And leaves me as he once did do, then I
The fool’s part surely play, as I do give
My heart away. Once fooled, I am but to
Be pitied. Twice fooled, I will deserve the hurt

The Mulberry Tree
Walking in the dark forest, the ground is cool,
Calm and seemingly silent. Sun highlights a leaf floating like some jewel,
Gliding to the earth, moist beneath my feet.
This is my place of refuge, never a place of fright
I take delight in the sight of this mighty tree
The sweet, red ripeness of the mulberry
From where I stand it calls to me
And I have a seat and listen.
I wonder how long it has been resting here in silence,
A perfect sage to guard this scene, this stage…
What has it witnessed? Who sat here before?
Times have changed, years gone by forevermore.
I listen to the silence, and in it I can hear the story;

Star-Crossed Lives, Harry Potter FanFiction
Jessa and Edward were standing down by the Lake. It was the dead of night, but an almost full moon shone above, casting a cool glow on the still water.
“I do not know whether I can do this, Edward,” Jessa said desperately, putting her face in her hands. “What if our plan fails? I won’t live after all if I never see you again,” she was pleading with him.
Edward gently took her hands and held them to his chest. “It is the only way, Jessa. We’re doing this because we have to. You cannot keep competin

Catherine woke early the next day, startled out of her dream. It was another of those all-too-real ones, about Hogwarts. It was strange to see the halls she was soon to walk in and become familiar with from her own perspective. This dream had been about Jessa again…she had entered the TriWizard Tournament to prove to her father that a girl could win, to prove to her love, Edward, that she was willing to do something to defy her father, and to prove to everyone else that she wasn’t the mad, helpless “wench

Story of My Life
Story of my Life
I've been told I'm very smart
But there are many things
Which require a certain art
Which I will never learn
Such as how to hold a fork,
Sit up straight and cut my pork
I will never hold my knife
And cut things so precisely
I will never be the perfect wife
And I can't always treat people so nicely
I turn around and walk right into people
I drop my books and lose my grip
I slip on every possible puddle
My thought tend to get muddled
And I don't know who the hell
Half of those celebrities are
But they poke me and they prod me
And fit me into this social mold
So I play the piano and practice Ballet

It breaks my heart
To see your pure little soul
Tainted.
It makes me grieve
To see the tears in your little eyes
Falling.
It makes me want to reach out
And hold you close
Embrace your pain away
I want to shield you with my arms
And fight off your demons

When an eight year old boy
Hates his life "and everything in it"?
I can't bear to see you become as broken as me.

I press my palm against the glass
Solidly dividing us
A transparent sheet
That I can't stand to break.
I see you, so close...
But not close enough
I hear you, kind words...
But you don't speak to me.
I scrape the stubs of my bitten nails
Against the glass, fighting with emotions too crazy to control.
I can just see myself smashing this wall down, tearing a hole right through it
And then it's not glass anymore, it is just a thin, thin sheet of filmy paper.
For once, I can't see through it.
For once, I don't want to.
All these years of struggle and longing,
Needing to know if you were sorry at all,

Loved and forsaken

And one harsh command can make you feel infinitely trapped
Whispered compliments and '"I love you"s make you feel so beautiful, and then you're on the ground, with footprints on your back.

I'm so Afraid
Of you
Afraid
Of messing up
Disappointing you
Making you angry
Giving you one more reason
To hate me.
I can't change
What happened
All I know
Is there's no going back
I've spent my life
making It up to you
Making up for something

And I don't want
to do it any more.
But I never can help it
And now I've realized why:
I'm afraid of you.

He looks into my eyes and holds my gaze. I hate myself for feeling nothing but awkward. Why can't I just like him? He's a perfectly normal, not at all creepy guy. And he's my age. Or, rather, he's in my grade. He's reasonably mature, too, and it's easy to talk with him about books, movies, life, almost anything

He says, smiling that cute boyish smile, pointing to the shredded bits of notebook paper on my desk, in our shared English classroom. Our teacher, in a fit of sympathy for under appreciated parents, has asked us to write letters to people who matt
When I was little I did not care,
For the thousands of you struggling out there,
So here is to you,
You beautiful souls.
When I was little I did not know
In your world full of nightmares you continue to grow.
When I was little I did not see
Such trembling lips as they uttered your plea.
When I was little I could not believe
How you kept on struggling on days we didn't grieve?
When I was little how could I have known
Your contagious laughter was a sight to behold.
When I was little I would never have guessed
That with such delicate wings you have been blessed.
When I was little I could not feel
How much your weak smiles really
I can feel the pull, the gut wrenching pain,
as if it actually existed.
I can feel the dry sobs shatter my resistance.
Everything i thought i knew, would disappear.
As if it were real.
That's why, I told him, I would never, never
commit myself to love.
Because it isn't real.
Just like he would never have a family,
in fear of losing it by blood shed and bullets.
All we can do is stare at each other coming so close,
so close to coming apart.
Each knows the other fears committing themselves
to something bigger than themselves.
Each knows that love is permanent.
Each knows that their parents made mistakes,
and each feared they would repeat th

Alone.
I've never felt this alone before.
Not when I've finally accepted who I am.
Not when I've made so many friends.
I feel it pushing through my heart,
through my very existence.
The worst kind of pain,
The kind you can't fix.
The kind you have to hide.
It's crushing me down until
I've become a mere shadow of who I was.
They tell me this isn't who I am,
But do they know what I know?
Can they feel what I feel?
No one think I can crack and break
my heart is too pure, my strength a fortress.
But they don't know the battles I've fought.
They never will.
But being alone isn't so bad,
No one has to see me cry,
No one has to feel my pain,

You used to call me to hear my voice.
I could almost feel how you smiled somewhere out there with your mobile on your ear.
I want to call you just to hear your voice
But I am not sure about your smile.
I want to talk to you
And I wonder if you feel the same.
You used to look at me like I was some kind of angel,
a fantasy, a dream in your world
I could feel your love every second around us.
My eyes follow every move you make,
your lips, your hands, your laughter.
Every moment I look at you I feel my love for you running through my body.
I wonder if you feel the same.
You used to miss me when we were apart,

I'm Not the Marrying Kind
I'm not the marrying kind.
I have stones in my hair instead of flowers,
And a rosebush of thorns is more poignant to me.
I'm not the marrying kind.
My words aren't pretty or wise,
And I can't sing about anything but a broken heart.
I'm not the marrying kind.
I am the sort of damaged you see in an old recorder,
And the kind of old in an instrument that breaks into a billion pieces at a touch.
I'm not the marrying kind.
Neither neat, nor tidy, nor correct in my behavior,
And yes, I did in fact tell you to fuck yourself.
I'm not the marrying kind.R
I love to write whenever I'm in the mood for it. My thing mostly is poetry that rhymes but isn't usually metered, as well as free verse and short stories. I also love to paint and draw, but writing is my passion. I love words and clever quotations :) I also have a huge love for music and dance, I'm learning to play the piano but I have not yet successfully written a song...we'll see. I'm a dancer, and the same passion that inspires me to dance inspires me to write. I hope people will read and review my work . :)

So I was just reading through all my word documents full of poems and I realized how long it's been since I actually posted anything. This is mainly because I've been working on a harry potter fan fiction so I haven't written any really post-able stuff, but there are some things I just never got around to posting. I really need to stop neglecting DeviantArt, though. For anyone reading this journal, you should really read The Road of Lost Innocence by Somaly Mam. It's an amazing memoir by a Cambodian woman who got out of the life of forced prostitution and started a charity, AFESIP, that helps others get out of it. Thousands of girls and wome
Isn't it ironic that I have tons of poems on deviantART and I've written tons more over the years, and yet when I have to write a poem for school, I can't do it? For my final project I read this really inspiring book, In the Name of Honor, a memoir by Mukhtar Mai. Everyone should read it, it's awesome. So whyy can't I write about it?? Oh well. wish me luck.
So, I'm just so lucky that I get to go away to a place where there is no internet, cell service, or people. For ten days. Again. Even though I just got home...ah well, I'm hoping me being away will do some people some good. So, goodbye deviantART, again. I promise I will write lots while I'm away and go on as soon as I'm back. :)
