I Have a Thought
I have purple splotches
from falling when I climb
I have lines with dried blood along it
from cooking for my family
I have glasses
from sitting too close to the television
I have scars
from past adventures
I have a thought
that time is passing me by
and I'm not going to waste it
by doing my hair for hours
and
"powdering my nose" every half hour
My spirit is more free
when I don't chain it down
with hairspray
and
with layers of make-up
That's the way I
and others
like it anyways

Like everyone else, I've gone through my hardships and I know there are more to come. I've lost friends whom were close to me, I've suffered with grades in school, and I have my own family issues. I used to write with a pessimistic perspective, as you'll see in my earlier writings, but people change with time. I don't want to view what has happened and what will happen through a dark haze. I now write with a more hopeful attitude despite if I'm sad or angry. By reading these, you're getting to know the inner me and though I encourage constructive criticism, for that reason, please be honest and kind. Thank you and, by the way, it's nice to meet you! ;)
