An expressive poem I wrote my freshman year of high school.

"I Am" Poem 2013
Wallpaperlepi

I am as lazy as a hibernating bear, sleeping during the coldest winter.

I wonder if there is such thing as love, If the expectations meet the feelings of the word.

I hear terriblewords spoken amongst each other, while kind and thoughtful words are kept quiet from all who need it.

I see the reflection from the moon smiling at me as itsglimmering light peaks through my window each dark night.

I want to wake up one brightmorning and have my parents back in my life, withsoberthoughts.

I am as lazy as a hibernating bear, sleeping during the coldestwinter.

I pretend I am an unopinionatedactress, simply playing my role in life without question and doing as I'm told.

I feel emotionally exhausted like a lost child wandering the world but not knowing their final destination.

I touch my little sister's innocent hand and feel unconditional love from the purest heart there is.

I worry I'll wake up to a phone call from the hospital saying my mom has overdosed.

I cry when I think of the dreadful night that was April 4, 2013, the day my grandma went to heaven and left us.

I am as lazy as a hibernating bear, sleeping during the coldest winter.

I understand that I can't change my shameful past but I can always mold my unexpectedfuture.

I say life is like a crystal clearriver, it just keeps flowing through obstacles thrown into it.

I dream through all the revengefulchaos of this generation, that people will count their blessings each and every single day.

I try to make my uncle proud even though I've made some poor decisions, I learned from them and improved myself.

I hope the brightand mysticalstars in the sky keep shining down at everyone and the earth keeps it's natural beauty of the green grass, tall trees, and expressiveanimals.

I am as lazy as a hibernating bear, sleeping during the coldest winter.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
