Copies

If I were to have ten copies of me, that day will be so amazing.  My first copy will go to California to see my dad's side of the family.  Another copy will go to Florida because I love it there.  That copy will visit my aunt that lives down in the area.  My third copy will go to the Philippines to meet my family I have never seen.  My fourth copy will do all my house chores while my fifth one goes to school.  The only thing I (the original copy) will do is play in my Lorain High Lady Titans basketball game.  The sixth copy of me will study for my midterms.  My seventh copy will work out all day so I can get my summer body back.  My eighth copy will find a small one day job (babysitting or a small warehouse) so I can get money.  My ninth copy will do reading all day that I never have time for during the day.  My last and final copy will play music, write poetry, dance on the Wii and Xbox and free style dance too.

Crash

I am getting in my car on the way to school
And I notice that my friend text something cool
A shot conversation nothing big just small
Vrooming through a red light I do not see at all
Another car from another directions is passing through
It is too late to stop so there is nothing else I can do
I am hit in my car's right side with my windows crashing in
Crashing throughout my car with my blood gashing out from my skin
Remembering the text I sent "Oh my gosh FORREAL?!"
Realizing it was not even a big deal
I use to say "I do not have to look at the sun to know it is shining"
Now I do not have to look at my heart rate to know I am dying

Perfection

My perfect island will have one single mansion in the middle of it, with nature surrounding the perimeter.  Glass walls will surround the house so I will be able to see the nature around me.  The mansion will have three acres of land in each direction, with the temperature being around sixty to seventy degrees Fahrenheit.  Past these three acres will be a different climate zone, which will be split into four different sections.  To the left, walking out of the house, will be eighty to one hundred degrees Fahrenheit.  This area will have palm trees and coconut, representing a tropical climate.  I will go through this area when I want to be joyful or calm.  The heat of the sun will calm me down so I can relax when I need it.  When I am sad, I will walk through the Rainforest, which will be located to the front of the house.  This section will express all the tears that I want to cry that is not humanly possible.  I will be able to listen to all the sounds that are within the Rainforest.  The sound of rain fall onto the leaves of trees, along with the animals and insects of the area, will help soothe me.  If I am feeling stressed I will walk through the Tundra to represent how I feel inside.  The Tundra section will be located to the right of the house.  The cool winds blowing will express all the different ways I am being pulled.  The chills that I get from being in the cold will express my anxiety.  To the back of the house, will be more of a Temperate Forest climate.  This climate will be like Autumn, where the leaves fall off of the trees.  This section will be for when I'm in a thinking mood.  The air is just right, and I love how the leaves fall, so when I walk, I can hear the crunching of the leaves.  When the wind blows, it creates a song with the rustling of the trees, which opens up my mind.  This is all perfect to me because I have the variety that matches the way I am feeling.

Socrates

Socrates will be my choice to have as my personal assistant.  I like the fact that he debates about subjects.  He will be the one that I know will always have my back when I say that I'm right about something.  He can agree with me and debate about it with the person that believes I am wrong.  He has an open mind since he is a philosopher.  That is one thing that I like about history, and about the only thing that I like.  The Enlightenment period was a great time, and their minds were always opened to so many different things.  I will love to have a conversation with Socrates.  He will help me see the way of life.  He will help me stay open minded and accept different possibilities into my mind to see all the various outcomes.  This is a helpful trait that can help me in the future.  It will help my brain to see the different ways of life.  Instead of being trapped in a cage and living in a world of the unknown it will have experience and variety.

Sharks

I wake up in a very unfamiliar place.  It is dark and damp.  I wipe my eyes to get a clear vision of where I am.  I see trees and something awfully huge floating.  I now know that I am in a forest, but the floating object is still unknown.  I start looking around and I see them everywhere.  I take a step to my left and I feel something underneath of my foot.  I then move the leaves that are piled on top of whatever I have stepped on.  Once I start to clear it off, I see fingers.  I start crying and screaming at the top of my lungs.  The floating objects all turn towards me.  They start viciously coming my way.  I realize that the floating objects are actually floating sharks.  I make a run for a way out of the forest.  While I run and turn around at the same time, I did not realize that there is one floating right behind me.

My Comfort Zone

The thing that comforts me the most is music.  I feel that it is the only thing that can comfort me.  It comforts me because it explains how I feel.  A handful of the music that I listen to has a soothing beat in the background.  Most of my comfort music actually are songs that are expressive with how the artist feel.  A song that represents this is 'Read All About It Part 3' by Emeli Sande.  Although some of the music is more aggressive, it calms me down because it is saying all that I want to say.  The song 'I Feel Alone' by Nat Wolff explains the aggressive yet expressive side of music that I am talking about.  This type of music helps me so that I know other people are going through what I am as well as them.  It helps me know that I am not alone.  I know that music will never give up on me.  I also know that it does not judge me on what I do.

Norae

Who is Norae?

That is something I can think about all day

She has a very strong heart

Even though it has been torn apart

She has been through a lot of pain

But she knows she still has a lot to gain

Happiness is her main goal

But she can't seem to find it in her soul

Through hell and back she has been fighting

Her anger is building up and her flames are igniting 

She is trying to hold it in

But now she is afraid that it might win

"It is not about how hard you can hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving"

That is something she will never stop doing

Although doing it is hard
She knows not to let down her guard

Going through life, she is almost there

The past is something she can not repair

Constantly moving trying to avoid all the wrong

Going through all this I can tell you that Norae is strong

Aliens

If I find out that everyone is an alien, everything will change.  My day tomorrow will start off with using the lavatory. If my family tries to talk to me I will ignore them. I will pack all of the things I need like my clothes, deodorant, lotion, etc.  I will run out of my house without saying anything to anyone. I will take my mothers keys to her car and leave without telling them.  Making sure I have enough money, I will go to Walmart for food. The types of food I will get are : tequila lime chicken wings, and ingredients for taco salad.  I will also buy brownies to bake for myself.  To go along with the brownies, I will buy ice-cream. These desserts will help me cope with this situation.  Then, I will go to the electronics section of Walmart and buy movies that are not on Netflix.  Afterwards, I will find an abandoned house.  This abandoned house will no longer be abandoned, I will call it my home.  No one will bother me and I will be by myself.  I will have no worries about anyone or anything; only myself.

Piñata

I am with all my friends. We are all chattering about the last victim that was beat to death.  They start to say I will be next but I do not believe them.  All of a sudden there is this little kid pulling on me.  The little kid says "This one mommy! I want this one!"  Then the mother of the child pulls me down from where I am.  I feel scared and I do not want to know where I am going, so I decide to act like I am dead.  I do not realize that I actually fall asleep. I wake up in their house surrounded with beautiful pink decorations that match what I am wearing. There is candy all over the table. I know it is my time.  They cut me open and start stuffing me with the candy.  Now that they are done they put me back together and hang me on a tree outside.  They start to beat me.  One by one, a child with blind folds around their eyes hit me with a bat.  Eventually, I break and all my candy falls to the green grass that was under me.

Never

One thing that I will never do is say the word never. Never is a sign of weakness to me. It is like saying the words "I can't". I believe that if people always say the word never they will end up doing the things they never want to do. For example if they say "I will never work at McDonald's". They have more of a possibility working there because they focus more on the negativity and their positivity starts to recede. The word never has a large impact of negativity on what you have to say about something. In middle school a person may say they will never have a boyfriend/girlfriend because their school work is more important. Then, when it actually comes to the high school years they are in a relationship. The only time I would honestly use the word never is when I say this; you never know unless you try.

Paranoid

All day she had been paranoid.  Her mother still was not home from work at 7 like usual.  It was already a quarter to 9.  She tried calling her cell phone but it kept going to voicemail.  Then, when she called her job her co-workers said that she did not come in today.  She did not know if her mom's boyfriend was home. If he was she did not want to find out.  She did not like him, he had a very high temper.  Instead of talking to him, she decided to take a walk. They had the woods located in their backyard.  Her mom told her that if she is ever feeling down and worried to go back there and find her little rabbit.  She loved that rabbit but she was older now and did not want to throw it away.  So, she left it in the backyard.  But when she looked for him she could not find it. She was sure this is where she had left him.

Teen Club

If I were to open a business I would own a teen club.  It would be called The Night Owl.  The location would be off of Leavitt road by the tracks and the dollar store in Lorain, Ohio.  The age would range from 13-17.  Every Friday and Saturday it would be open as a teen night club.  The doors would open at 7pm and close 12am.  It would cost $5 a person or 2 for $7.  There would be different themes each month.  The themes would include foam and paint raves, blacklight parties, masquerade, ladies night, etc.  On Sundays there would be poetry slams and talent shows. There would be an entry list posted on a bullentine inside the club.  It would start at 1pm and end at 6pm.  There would be no entry fees and it would be free to come and watch the performances.  I would hope that this would be a successful business.  

Number One Rule

My number one rule is to be who you are.  Don't try to impress other people, especially if you feel uncomfortable with it.  For example, if you like something and another person doesn't.  Ignore that person, their opinion shouldn't matter.  Go for what YOU want not others.  You're the one that it effects, not them.  If people don't like who you are, then that's their loss.  They are the ones that you need to extricate.  We don't have to act like someone we're not just to make them happy.  That is why we are all made by different mothers and fathers (besides your siblings).  To be a part of the "In Crowd" isn't hard to do.  But, to be a rebel and be who you really are, now that maybe a challenge.  It is a risk. Either pretend to be someone you're not, or show your true colors and be happy doing it. Some people are scared of change.  But you never know, change is sometimes good.
