How Do I Poetry

Poetry, the beast I cannot overcome.

How Do I Poetry
Self Created.

Do you ever feel like you’re moving too quickly?

Speaking without thinking, doing without preparing.

You know that it’s not the proper way,

yet you still do it, you have to do it,

you have no choice but to keep DOING.

Slowing down? Not a chance.

What’s the point?

You’ll accomplish just as much either way.

Or so you tell yourself. But you know the truth.

You know that fast feet can lead to cut corners,

that haste can make waste.

You feel like you’re speeding through things,

So much that you barely feel them.

Everything blows by you,

As the hands of time spin round and round.

All you wish for is to appreciate the time more.

Yet you’re pause button is broken.

You have no trouble speeding things up,

Shutting yourself off every so often is possible too,

You can even rewind to remember the times you sped through,

But you can never stop. So you continue forward. It’s your only choice.

After all, you were the one who decided there was no point in the pause button anyway.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
