Mother Earth

An original poem personifying the social climate to that of the weather. This is the beginning of progress.

Hey readers. The world seems to get more and more confusing as the days pass. One thing I try to do not only for others but for myself is to write pieces with a hopeful message. Even if this little bit of positive energy helps one person, I feel compelled to write it out. I cannot speak for everyone's situation, but as for my own, it has been challenging to balance my energy with that of the events around me. I get tired quicker than I can last remember, but it has improved within the last few days. I hope that everyone is taking time to heal and space to get positive clarity. Much love to you all.



The wind, these days,

Seems to speak more harshly

It blows hard and fiercely

Against the sky,

With the clouds that usually

Give me relief but

Seem a bit sad this time

What has happened

To the breeze of joy?

Where did the zealous clouds

Drift off to?

In haste, I was frustrated

Just like everyone around me

I had to wonder, 'what is happening now?'

I looked around the streets and found

More perseverance from a people

Who only wanted to create justice in sound

The oppression some forget

That this land was founded with

My people are hurting through and through

It leaves us asking, 'what will you do?'

A week from now or two,

'Will you forget why we do what we do?'

The earth knows, too,

That her sadness reflects how

We'll never forget, but making progress

She will set the sun in sight again

To alight our path instead

The sky will no longer be sad and cry

It will be like a fresh sight

The clouds will dance and follow us

To a new day of hope and justice

Progression in the years to come

I smile as I think of what has begun

Generations after generations will know

About the time we stood together

In unity for brighter weather

A future full of sunshine and warm breeze

Mother Earth, hear me please

I have hope for better days

Onward, we move

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
