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.

The Parable of the Shoes

So check it out ladies and gents! I'm about to tell you a parable, the parable of the shoes. If you don't know what a parable is, well it's kind of like a story with some kind of message. Jesus taught with them all the time. This one isn't Biblical in the sense that it's directly from the Bible, but I would say that it matches what that Holy Book has got inside! So listen up, here it is!

The Parable:

The this is something that's happening in my life right now. Around Christmas time (right after actually because of the sales) I went to West 49 and bought some sick skateboard shoes. These shoes are really cool I've gotta tell you, I even compromised just a little on size so I could get them. That's how cool they are! I went home and thought "These are amazing!" and I promised my self I wouldn't wear them outside until spring so they wouldn't get wrecked. And even though the one's I'm wearing right now are pretty crappy, I'm still not wearing the new ones outside because it won't be same when it is the right time to wear them. It'll feel great walking into school wearing fantabulous shoes, and right now I'm just waiting for that.

The meaning:

So let's just say that when I bought the shoes, I was born. That was the time my life started and at my birth I was given something spectacular that I had to wait for to get the most out of. Maybe you can already see where this is going. The shoes are sex.... oooh sex. You immature babies, just kidding. Spring is like marriage. So if you want to get the most out of sex, then you have to save it 'til marriage. Get it? Think about it, if you're a virgin and you're reading this then you must heard a lot sex and how good (or bad depending who you hear it from, i.e. rape victims, etc). But how good it is when it's used properly and waited for. I'm a virgin and I'm not gonna lie I've wondered a lot about what it will be like when the time comes.

Think about the shoes again, if I were to wear them outside in the winter they get wet from the all the snow. They'd get soaked and the material would be damaged or ruined. And there's a lot of dirt after the snow's melted too. I don't want dirty shoes, I want cool shoes!! So it's the same thing with sex, hold out for marriage brothers and sisters! Save yourself for the best. So there you have it folks, I preach abstinence (but only until marriage because life would suck otherwise...)

Peace, love you all!
