Ha- I wanted a catchy title so people would read this... I hope I got your attention. : ) The title of the poem is “I Need You”… I want input… please comment and tell me what you think. Many can say they’ve had a lifetime of regrets, And I can’t deny that I’ve had mine. But another added to the list Is one regret never missed. And makes the life you live less divine. The worst mistake made yet, Is one’s feelings locked inside. It is foolish to hide such powerful emotions, On...

So many things I regret, so many things I wish I had never done. I realized I learned valuable lessons from each of these mistakes, but maybe… I learned the most by watching exactly what I missed. When I was hurt the most… exactly one year ago, there was one person who was there for me unconditionally. His name was David. David and I have always been really close, and I went to him whenever I was angry, crying, depressed or even happy. The worst part was, earlier that year I completely ...

I am irritated with false friends. The people who said (and might still say) they will always be there for you… but they never are. In fact, when you needed a friend the most... they turned their back to you and walked away. You then question yourself, what have I done wrong? What did I do that was so terrible for everyone to turn their back to me? Did I break someone’s heart? Did I lie to someone? Did I turn around and completely destroy someone and not give a shit? I am irri...

He walked by, As softly as a kiss, As quiet as the twilight. He walked by. So where this path shall lead us, None shall know. But he walked by… I felt his presence. He walked by, But stopped right behind me. The feeling lingered in the air But, he walked on. I felt fear arise A deathly pale fear The type of fear that destroys love. And I choked on my own voice. Now I walked in, I saw him from afar And the feeling arose once more When I only find to see, He was looki...

You take a turn and be the outcast Always try your best, and always come in last I try to be beautiful, I absolutely try But when I realize I’m not, I go home and cry I try to trust, so I can’t try anymore But all anyone ever did was shut the door Take a turn to loose your friends The one’s you thought would be there in the end All I hear is the lies, the silent lies, the spoken lies Every one followed with endless goodbyes So bring on the drama, bring on the hate It was ...

Please, oh please… Tell me something other than a lie Tell me that you really love me And not willing to say goodbye Tell me your willing to fix the pieces And not walk away Like all the others. My outstretched arm is looking for love I want your hand to take mine Don’t leave me in the dust Give me your trust Give me the love I need The kind to build me back Tell me you love me without doubt Just look past the battered heart And teary eyes I am someone But no one I am n...

Anorexia is the psychological condition in which young women (and sometimes men) refuse to eat to become thin Bulimia is the physical condition in which a person purges their food after they are done eating it. There is a woman, who is a hero to me and hopefully to many other people. Her name is Emma Igelstrom. For those who don’t know this woman, she is an Olympian, a champion, and overcame Bulimia. She is a swimmer, and won 3 world champion titles, 10 European titles (her first...

People mispronounce the English language so frequently, that it is custom for people to accept the incorrect forms. Here is a sample of general words that are mispronounced everyday… 1. Revelant… the correct term is Relevant. 2. Realator… No, it is Realtor, someone who helps you buy or sell a home. 3. “I seen”… God, that phrase just sounds retarded. It is either “I saw” or “I have seen”. 4. Supposably… I am at fault for this one. The term should be Supposedly. 5. Expecially… It’s Es...

I am Lutheran, and I can’t say I agree with the restriction the Catholic Church set against women holding priesthood. It is again… another double standard. I know, the Catholic Church is a patriarchal institution… but what is the issue with having women involved? The church view women primarily as wives and mothers… why? Why can’t a wife be a priest? Why can’t a mother be a priest? Why can’t just a plain Catholic woman be a priest? This isn’t a construction site where a man’s physi...

Today is April 10, 2005, the 100th day of the year! Only 265 days until next year. Good luck everyone! Oh, and this day in 1912 was when the Titanic set sail from England… just an FYI. ~Shadows

Fake tanning… hmm… in my book this is a very interesting topic. Ok, everyone knows what fake tanning is. You lay in a “tanning bed” for about 20 minutes. For that 20 minutes you get 3 hours worth of concentrated sunlight. You come out and look like a giant orange. If you want to be orange, just use self-tanning lotion… take my word on it. Now, if that doesn’t convince people about how awful it looks… just think of your health! Skin Cancer! The easiest way to avoid it is wearing su...

Truth is the only safe ground to stand upon. Lies are what destroy everything we ever knew and believed in. So the simple answer is to tell the truth, right? Wrong, half of the damn society has a problem with that. I don’t lie... whether it’s about something I’ve done or never done. I just don’t lie. People will call me a liar… which I still can’t understand, because it is them who are lying to everyone… not me. But if that is how they cope with their problems, they can keep bl...

There’s a party tonight. I have decided not to go for two reasons… Three guys have asked me to go with them; I have told each of them I am going to go solo this time… They are all friends of mine, and I don’t want them to try to start a relationship with me there. I have been trying to heal from a disastrous relationship for 4 months now, and getting into another doesn’t sound like such a good idea… especially with friends. Then there is my disastrous relationship. For the past… I do...

Love is something so beautiful, words cannot accurately describe it. But, the true question is… when do you know you’re in love? Deep down that seems to be the only question I have to ask. There is a guy, he is absolutely perfect. He is handsome, extremely academic, funny, kind… everything anyone could ever ask for. But, it’s not like I have had feelings for him forever… I just noticed who he truly was one day and wanted to know him. But, he’s never talked to me… ever. We are not...

I am a horn player. If anyone at all has any knowledge of how peoples’ personalities have a connection with their instruments, most horn players are stubborn and strive to be perfect. They tend to be very introverted and always want to receive the most credit. I played a solo at a festival earlier this week. It turned out absolutely awful. I disgraced the composer it was flawed so bad. My lips locked halfway through the song, I didn’t hit the right interval in several areas, I wish I ...
