"She Does"

She held her breath
And took the first step 
Toward the life she'd always wanted.
She didn't care what others thought.
But secretly, she did.

"White Knight"

Okay, so I wrote this a long time ago...

Back to the beginning of the story,
Way before the "happily ever after" part
How did the young maiden meet her white knight?
How did she find him?
Where did she start?
How did she get so lucky? Hmm...
Maybe I want a white knight.
Or a Prince Charming.
Should I get locked in a tower?
Locked in my room?
Have my step mother kill me?
Or fly on a broom?
What if I want my happy ending,
But just can't find it?
I've tried falling down rabbit hols,
Running away from home,
Sleeping for years,
And moving to Rome.
What more can I do?
Oh, tell me true
What more can I do?
I can't find you,
White Knight.

"The Small Things"

Five o'clock
And the sun is setting
Look up at the orange
And purple and pink
Sunset.
Lie down in the grass
And think.
What would life be like
If the sky was always black?
Never any light.
We could never get it back.
Marvel at the beauty
of something so
Simple.
So much the opposite
Of a raincloud, not so grim.

"But Now you're Back"

Sitting in a field 
In the middle of the sun
The birds are singing
And the night is done
The feeling in my lungs
Of the cold morning air
Wind whispers softly
Running through my hair
Hot sun rays
Beating down on my back
Suddenly I see
That you've come back
I never thought
I'd see your face again
I always thought
That our love was just
Pretend.

"Unanswered Questions"

Fire. Light.
Dark black night.
Glaring back at you 
through the window.
Stars. Moon.
Gone too soon.
When the sun comes up
And you wake up again.
Sun. Rain.
So much pain.
People endure every day.
Life. Death.
It's all a test.
But how do you pass?
No one knows.

W....T....F

Okay, so have you ever had one of those teachers/instructors that either
     a) has no idea what the @%*$ they're talking about
     b) says things that don't make sense
     -OR-
     c) has UNAMERICAN-ly AWFUL grammer skills
     -OR EVEN WORSE-
     d) all three??
Yeah, me too.
Let's think about this for a second, shall we?

The Worst Teacher-isms
-Saying "in any case" or "if you will" like 27 times (at least- I counted once and this is the number I got) in the 1 1/2 hour class time.\
-Not being able to say 2 words without saying "umm", "uhh", or "what am I trying to say?"
-Saying "a" when it should be "an" or vice versa.
-Not giving a student credit either in class discussion or on an assignment/test just because it's not the exact wording or instance the teacher was looking for
-Mispronouncing common words like "author" and "preface"
-BEING AN ENGLISH TEACHER AND SAYING THINGS LIKE "Is there any questions?" OR NOT BEING ABLE TO COUNT #%&@ING SYLLABLES

I can honestly say that I could teach a college level class better than some of these people. From simply reading and comprehending what I read and being able to speak properly, not to mention being comfortable enough speaking in front of a group to not sound like a bumbling idiot.

And that, ladies and gents, is what grinds my gears.

@%$**&#%!!!

This is my luck lately....
Skipped class last Tuesday to have a "me day."
Came to class Thursday and two out of the four were cancelled.
Studied for a chemistry test for four hours straight.
Failed.
