I Laugh in the Face of Death


O Death, you bore me so, For I am not afraid of you. Your twisted plans And sly actions, I have all but seen before. You think your ghouls And witches with skinny black cats, And your goblins and ghosts And vampire bats Will frighten me away, But you are quite wrong Mr. Death. Come closer, I desire to hug you. Come now, It won’t do any harm. What’s this? You hesitate? I thought I would never see the day. Or is this just another one of your devious plans, So you can come unexpectedly And snatch my life away? Not a flicker of fear, For I will be ready, When The Night is near.

I am an 11th grader at Vincent Memorial Catholic High School. I am a Catholic and I'm loving it. I met my first boyfriend there when I was a freshman, he's a sophomore in college now. I currently broke up with him and have another boyfriend, and the funny thing is that we didn't have a fight or anything. After I graduate from Vincent, I'm going to IVC for two years, and then I want to go to San Diego State University in San Diego and study the following: English, Psychology, and Criminal Justice. My dad's kind of reluctant on me going away so he wants me to go to SDSU in Calexico CA. But I'm so against that. I wanna follow my dreams and learn how to be independent as well (I already am, but I mean independent like I wanna live on my own). I like playing on the computer often and hanging around with friends on the weekends and in summer (cause that's when I have all the free time!) and of course my wonderful boyfriend. I don't dance that well. I'm more of a singer and actress. Did I mention I like being random? Guess not, but I do. Haha, I'm very shy sometimes, but performing on stage as an actress just takes away that shyness and I'm just...out there!
