Not finished yet but just thot i'd post it
The streets had no name
And a cold wind
Blew around the houses
A deathly silence
Enveloped the town
And yellow streetlights
Cast a haunting glow
Not a soul moved
Nor a leaf rustled
It was as if life itself
Was holding its breath

You can't choreograph life
the kids that made history
look just like you.
curiosity is what you ought to have.
Some pictures are worth a thousand words
others are worth so much more
they inspire you, move you
The proudest moment America ever had
was to elect a black man
for his policies."
Memories
Memories
To look back, to hold onto
something that you've already left.
Memories are what hold bonds
sometimes stronger than anything else alive.
They allow empathy, but they can
also be so negative. These are
what trigger someone to live
as though they are experiencing
a traumatic moment that never
will seem to end. The problem is
that time never stands still.
If you hide out, chances are
that the world will move on
without you.
Memories
they hold together our world,
they keep people alive
without the memories
our world would never
have grown.

There
There to keep you from too much pain
Forever someone who will remain a friend
Never going to let you ruin your life
Going to keep life a lovely surprise
To understand and be there when you need me
Let you learn from mistakes, but not let you go too far
You are wonderful, never forget that
Go make your life meaningful… I can’t help with everything
theatre
Anticipation…
The curtain rustles as someone tries to take the tiniest peek into the audience
Laughter and shouting can be heard out there
In here, there is a deafness, a mute on our voices
We jump and giggle and pray that we don’t forget cues
But we are anxious and scared, knowing that what we’ve worked for is here.
Theatre can look easy, with an eye-capturing ease.
But backstage there is adrenaline…
Backstage is where the fun is.
If my life were a sport...
It would be the game of tennis
Each game a challenge
A win a small victory
A loss something you learn from
I either try to improve
Or am satisfied with my game
Sometimes I'll get what I want
A clean, powerful, winning shot
Or I will miss my mark and the ball will go flying
Some people say that tennis is a "love" game
Well every day
I am surrounded by people that love and care about me
As you go through life
You can try to solve your problems
That your opponent is constantly hitting at you
Alone
Like a singles match
Or
You can open your arms
And accept the help of others
Like a doubles match
You either play by the rules
Or choose to cheat
If my life were a game
It would be the game of tennis
Sometimes you win
Sometimes you lose
But thats just the way life is
