Power of Discimination
Has anyone ever been offended or even discriminated against by “religious activists”? I mean what are they fighting for? how can they even say that what they are protesting to is justified? it isn't! it says in god's testament that he shall love all his children right? then why are gay's and bisexual's shunned upon for being human? why are we shunned for the fact that we want equal rights? if god does love all his children then why are They saying he doesn't? it's pathetic. It's just another power trip driven by the hands of the religious. Just like when they bombed abortion clinics saying that their cause was because "they were killing babies" well what were they doing? they were killing innocent people! is it not against the religious code not to commit murder? if so then why did they get away with it? so my point is.. what ever they do to try to promote discrimination of groups or activities is just completely unjust and i feel that The "religiously just" should not have the authority to rule mankind. This Must Stop. We are all human beings and we All have equal rights to be who we are, love who we want, and marry who we want and do what we do with our lives! Afterall, at the end when everything comes down to one point… we lead the life we want for a reason, it’s because of choices we made and mistakes we have made and hopefully learned from. So why won’t they let us live our lives the way we are supposed to? In happiness. Let us marry who we want, don’t object to same sex marriages. It’s not like we’re getting married and having sex in your back yard.. like come on people, we just want to live.. why won’t you let us.?

A Day Never Forgotten...
October 16th/2006.
This date shall forever by scorched within my memories.
For the rest of my life this day shall be marked upon me.. for this was the day.. i actually lost someone i cared for dearly.
How you might ask.... well, no offence to anyone reading.. but details are never important... all that anyone needs to know is that i cared for her... and within an instant, she was taken from me a by a careless mistake.
Everytime you see those commercials by MADD.. Please.. i beg of you, take them seriously.. because from now on... i know during this moments i watch these commercials there will nothing by silence from me, in memory of my friend Kelly.
Yes... she was killed by a drunk driver.. anyone thinking that this is a joke.. it honestly isnt... ive never felt more unemotional in my life.. its as if someone has just come over to me and unplugged my entire system...and im nothing but and empty shell here sitting..typing this message to you.
So please.. if you have someone that you want to say something to.. in All honesty, Do Not hold out.. i held out for fear that she would think i was wierd..when in all accuality, i regret every second now that i spent talking to her, realising.. that i had so many opportunities to tell her... and i did not.
Sadest part is.. she passed away after saying to my friend that she cared for me as much as i cared for her..and what hurts me the most.. is that i never got to tell her myself..
Rest in peace Kelly.. you will be missed dearly.

Us.
We are who we are.
We grow up trying to be unique
But somewhere along the way we lose ourselves.
We’re over-tempted by others’ images or opinions
We forget ourselves.
We turn our backs on our self
Abandoning who we are
Alone.
We change to the point that we aren’t even ourselves anymore.
Invasion.
I’ve been invaded by everybody else.
Where have I gone?
Regret.
I want to find myself, but I don’t even know where to start.
Scared.
Who am I anymore?
Frightened.
I can’t stand myself anymore.
Everyone hates me
Stereotyped.
And once we’ve lost ourselves, we realize our mistake
Help.
And just when we feel like we can’t live another moment, who we once were seems to find us once again, in the corner alone.
Re-United.
We are one a last.
Us.

I sit here alone…
I sit here alone and ponder my thoughts
Trying to gather my life in my mind.
Trying to think of the last time I was truly happy…
Of when I didn’t have a care in the world
I just want that feeling again…
That feeling of knowing exactly what you want…
Exactly what you need, and know what makes you happy
Knowing what to go after and what to strive for
Know what to live for…
I don’t know anymore… I truly don’t
I don’t know what makes me happy or even what I’m good at
I used to know… once upon a time I used to know…
But that was long ago
Before my life was tainted with sorrow, anger, and insecurity
Back when my life made sense.
Back when everything used to be so simple…
Back when all you had to do was say you were sorry and all was forgiven
What happened to that innocence?
Where did it go…? Why did you leave me..?
Why does that light no longer shine in my heart?
Where did that sparkle go in my eyes?
What happened to those moments where I used to smile wider than before?
What happened …
What happened… and where did the old me go…?
I want it back…
It want that innocence…
But until I get it… ill just sit here and ponder about why…
About why…
I sit here alone…

The Ocean So Deep

As I make my voyage,
Across the ocean deep.
I think of the souls,
And the secrets it keeps.

Women and Men,
And children so young.
Shall never again feel,
The warmth of the sun.

A surprise was kept,
So sinister and true.
A terrible storm,
In the distance at brew.

It grew large and fierce,
As the winds howl and whirl.
As tall waves crash,
And smash as they swirl.

As the sea grows rough,
The danger’s forewarned.
They’re forced to sail on,
Through the wrath of the storm.

They fought the winds,
And battled the sea.
As they tried to sail on,
And attempted to flee.

But the storm hid the reef,
Of the island so near.
As they tried to sail left,
But couldn’t get clear.

They hit the reef,
With a thunderous sound.
As it shook and shattered,
While it ran against the ground.

People were tossed over,
Into the unforgiving sea.
While the ship tore apart,
With an echo of screams.

A ships crew was gathered,
At the first light of day.
To search for the ship,
And survivors in the Bay.

But when the storm had subsided,
And the skies again were blue.
All of their nightmares,
Had soon become true.

Ship parts and bodies,
Floated on in the water.
To try and sail through it,
Became incredibly harder.

As they gathered bodies,
From the water so cold.
And what happened that night,
Shall never be told.

So the secret to this tragedy,
The ocean shall keep.
And all souls were lost,
To the ocean so deep.

Life And Death

As the skies grow dark,
From clouds rolling in.
They grew very heavy,
With a terrible sin.

They unleashed a wonder,
Upon the desolate land.
To cover its warmth,
Like the cover of a hand.

But it fell to the ground,
With soundless perfection.
Undisturbed where it lay,
Not gathering attention.

As the trees gently shook,
From the bitter autumn wind.
They quivered from the cold,
Away from snow did they cringe.

But it fell ever faster,
From the fierce winter sky.
And death came to the land,
Though they fought and they tried.

For an eternity it seemed,
That the Earth had been buried.
Those shorts months ago,
It’s life had been captured.

But soon came the warmth,
Of the long missed sun.
As it shone so brightly,
Over the land did it run.

It ran over mountains,
Through trees tall and bare.
But along with its warmth,
Was the light that it shared.

But the joy was soon worn,
And as soon as it came.
The sun was soon blocked,
By the clouds once again.

But what feel shortly after,
Was not the white death.
But rain quickly spilled,
From the dark clouds instead.

It had melted the snow,
That laid siege to the land.
And had freed the landscape,
From that death covering hand.

It ran over trees,
As it quickly did descend.
And brought life once more,
To the Earth once again.

Love

You can’t explain love,
And no one knows why.
But I feel that its best,
To just give it a try.

Is it her smile that catches you,
Or her beautifully colored eyes?
Like the diamonds that sparkle,
In the far moonlit sky.

On her nice gentle hugs,
That always feel kind?
Or how she’s the most amazing person,
That you could ever possibly find.

Or how the sound of her voice,
Seems to always make you smile?
As if it’s the morning of Christmas,
And you’re the one special child.

Or when your heart beats faster,
And slower all at once?
When she is all you can think of,
For days weeks and months.

Or when you just want to spend,
Each minute of everyday.
Having that person in your arms,
And to have that moment stay.

And you feel that if you lost her,
A part of you would die.
Like you could never again be happy,
Without her by your side.

Or to tell her when she’s with you,
That there’s nothing for her to fear.
For you’d protect her with your very life,
And wipe away her tears.

So if you feel this way about someone,
There is no time to spare.
Just tell her that you love her,
So that she knows you care.
