Silence

Past:

Pushed, pulled and controlled

As they saw and heard, they ignored

Silence persists

Grabbed, gawked, and groped

Silence remains

Present:

The escape is difficult due to their silence

The thought of delusion is apparent

Future:

Healing will only be possible if their silence is broken


Controlled

Poised or poisoned life?

Ensured success or depleted passion?

Content or settled for safe?

What is life without passionate mistakes

Impulsive decisions

Or risky choices

Living or living to die?


Passion

New relations begin

Happiness proceeds and first experiences positively overwhelm

He makes you happy

You wonder how you found a man like him

Then you find out

Subtle disrespect every long encounter

Your passions have no place in his relationship

You become limited to his conversations, desires and interests

You wonder if you deserve a boy like him

Then you find out…


Leader

Friendship built on operation and politics leads to conniving

Your attempt was quite humorous as you could not separate yourself from your endeavors causing the depletion of an uncreative plan

Failed schemes lead to conspiring efforts

Your collection of negative remarks made you feel powerful, but no one respects those who use gossip to feel something

Minuscule attempts lead to the desire for a faster negative impact

Your hatred is fueled as you begin to realize your pathetic effort

Slander leads to the ultimate effect, destruction of reputation

You are completely saturated with overrated ideas of yourself that you have confused your own downfall with mine

A dismantled reputation does not lead to emotional ruins as your idea of devastation is different from mine

This period of my life finally ends and a culmination of reflections are fused into the idea that there are a multitude of leaders in this world that will infest the minds of others in order to spread their hatred, parade their false power, and construct illogical solutions.

You were quite the leader


Are You Sure?

I have fully mastered the art of deception

My stupidity overwhelms at first

They aren’t as smart as they think, that is what makes them vulnerable

The first step to getting what I want is creating confusion and chaos

When confrontation emerges, confusion becomes my weapon

The unoriginal person will not confront me twice about the same topic

My plan of attack must be clever and silent

I take the opportunity to execute what must be done

Leave

They will never suspect a stupid girl like me

The end.


They Can’t Tell

As my bones emerge from my sickly chest

They can’t tell

My legs and arms shake from exhaustion and fear

They can’t tell

My eyes glaze over as I try my best, but I can no longer perform

They think I have given up

What a shame, they say

What a waste of talent

As I fall into a relaxing state of nonexistence

Those around me watch in horror

They can tell

They do not care


Raw Emotions

Disrespect prompts ill behavior

Crazy, dramatic and delusional

Inconsiderate actions prompt impulsive behavior

Unbalanced, liar and insane


Healing

Reflection, forgiving company, and compassionate friends heal internal wounds

Forgetting is not always that simple

Dark speckles from the past surface in the future

Light speckles appear, too

Life is not simply about making positive memories

In order to grow, one must endure their own form of assault, abuse, control, passion, leaders, deception, and pure emotions.

My alternative perception of the world is the most beautiful gift I will ever receive.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreaming

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
