Wow, so much for being an introvert... after a night like tonight I don't think the people high is going to wear of for three days, at least. It's almost two in the morning and I'm only just beginning to get tired.
I got on originaly to post about the protocal event and how fun it was and how much I love the dress we found and how awesome 15 seater vans are, but I got online and was hit in the face with several big, serious issues right in a row from various people, and suddenly it all didn't matter anymore. I opened a microsoft word document and this came out. Please keep in mind that 1. It is two in the morning, and 2. I don't write poetry.
We all have ways of hiding
Of turning
Sprinting
Disappearing
Back behind the silver lining
Where we’d like to stay
What is it we’re avoiding?
A pain so deep I cannot cry
A love so strong it will not die
A truth so real we should not lie
It’s here dreams meet reality
A little more lip stick
Before you go
Eye shadow
In a darker shade
A higher heal
A louder laugh
A brighter ring
A smaller waist
Perhaps the value
On those outrageous shoes
Will add to the price tag
You place on yourself
To make the risk unaffordable
Chase your tale in circles
till once upon a time
becomes happily ever after
and then starts over again
Somewhere in the middle
Where the story is of pain
Anyone can do it
Can make it through
Survive
Anyone can live
On expresso energy
If I had just one memory
Of that far off happy ending
Then I wouldn’t need
The store bought charms
For my security
This be my prayer
As I die tonight
To be resurrected at dawn:
God, I beg upon my knees
And ask that you will hear
If you can grant my one request:
Don’t give me the ending
I earned for myself
God has a way of keeping it all in perspective.
G'night, everyone. <3

it's funny how personal pronouns become irrelevant in poetry. I seem to be talking both to and about myself.
You write great poetry Emily!
Or at least, at two in the morning you do. : )
You do need to write all about your thingy . . . or I can get the details monday. Do tell though, what DID you where?
I think I had something to do with those serious issues. Ahh well... I agree though, it's good poetry. Oh and by the way, the introvert/extrovert thing. If you're introverted you really only care about yourself which you aren't at all. Extrovert means you thrive off others energy and love being with people and helping and encouraging, which you do. Sorry, just had to clear that up for myself!
Actually, Ryan, introverts care about others just as much as extroverts. To be an I simply means you re-charge your batteries, as it were, by retreating for a while and being alone. Es, on the other hand, get their energy from other people.
Okay fine Em J you're right, I'm wrong, I suck at life... thanks! JK! You're right I agree with you 100%.
Ryan
whoa.
you're a good poet, don't tell yourself otherwise.
raw, but definitely good.
i really really liked the "a higher heal" paragraph. great imagery...
glad you enjoyed the night, sorry to partially ruin your people high, rotfl.
today was fun. i should have just driven to your house accidentally. no one in my family would have noticed or anything...
sorry, bro, you just DON'T want to take me on about personality. :-)
ANd sorry to sound so self-righous in my last post. I certainly didn't mean to indicate that I don't make the same misakes... it's the fact that I see it in myself that frusterates me the most.
lol, yeah, very raw.
I enjoyed the night until Tim showed up, and then I sat there missing you guys to death. It was still fun, though.
Not self-righteous sis. Don't sweat it. Love ya baby sis!
Ryan
Em why do you always make a post that's so enlightening to everyone else, and then apologize like you were being prideful or self-righteouss, when you never are?
You know what I think?
I think you are a wonderfully gifted writer, poet, friend, and all-around fun person. You may be somewhat introverted, but you're always encouraging others and making them feel better, showing them what they need to change about themselves, and showing them in love.
I loved that poem. and I keep thinking every time you post how you say just what I feel. and I'm glad you do that because I've been in some weird state of not writing my feelings when I know I should lately, which has gotten me all backwards.
so now I'm going to try really hard to stop talking about me and my faults, problems, or talents, and start trying really hard to focus on you peoples. because that's what you all do, and it's what makes you so fun to be around!
Keep up the writing Em, you're so awesome girl!
Perfect Verya!
You are so right . . .
I totally agree with you.
lol you've associated tim with anna & i? that's funny...
lol, thanks verya. I guess I just feel like I've been a lot of talk and no walk lately. Something I'm working on.
well, yes, I wouldn't assosicate tim with anyone else...
