A Poem and a Few Other Thingers...

I wrote a poem yesterday that doesn't yet have a title. Poems don't have to be explained and so I'm not going to, because I'd rather not. So here it is:

Look Deeper (added in afterwards)

A smile has no definition
A smile can mean anything
Usually perceived as a sign of happiness
But they are not limited or refrained to such

A smile has no definition
And a smile can mean anything
Cheap smiles are easy to give out
Unheartfelt and maybe entailing pain

I want to smile and be free
I want to shine with beauty
To be real and mean every minute of it
For my laughter to speak joy

But your distance is painful
It makes me want to cry
I long to be with you
To hear your voice and know I'm loved

That's my request
That's all I want
To smile
And know that it means everything

---------

I let one of my friends read it and she didn't get it. That's fine too, I wasn't expecting them to understand and I wasn't planning on telling them either.

Other things in my life... I recently bought a new West 49 sweater that's reversible... pretty sweet! I got some art stuff that was expensive, but worth it. And today, I got a purple pen. Kind of unusual but I like it. If you didn't know purple is my favourite colour. (Ha two Canadian spellings in a row. My spell check is going crazy).

That reminds me I have spell check right now because I'm using Safari the web browser. It was a free download you could get with iTunes. I was quite excited to be able to have it because I had heard a lot of good stuff about it. The design of it looks really good and it has great features too. One thing I really like about it is that it's a lot faster than my other browser. But right now I'm still trying it out. There's some things I'm not sure I like and I'm kind of wondering whether or not the differences are worth the change... well those are my thoughts anyways. Checking out, your graffiti sister!

UPDATE as of March 30, 2008: I've decided on a title but I'm not letting you know! Haha, sucks to be whoever you are because you don't know... No, but really the title's more for me than for other people so I'm just leaving this blog as it is.

So disregard what I just wrote I came up with a title that's better that I'm going to share. It's called Look Deeper as of now.

Your poem really touched me. I'm not sure what exactly you were trying to convey, but the poem (to me) spoke about Jesus and wanting to be free and happy through Him... but I suppose it could also be about a guy on earth, which is the great thing about poetry, it can mean different things to different people! :)

Purple is my favorite color too! :D
