On December 14, 2012 Children hid in cubbies, They hid in shelves. Teacher's surrounded And spoke them kind words, For out in the halls, The shots could be heard. Just an elementary school Filled with laughter and joy, Was stripped of its fun All because of one boy. A tear fell from America's eyes, As we heard the news, For now twenty-six angels, Our country did lose. Newtown, Connecticut Will never be the same. Engraved in its heart, Is sorrow and pain. Twenty children, Six adults. They didn't deserve it, They weren't at fault. Now all of our hearts Are filled with sorrow, We never expected They wouldn't see tomorrow. Twenty-six angels On a friday, flew away. Rest easy, sweet angels. In our hearts you will stay.

December 14
As I laid in my bed, So many thoughts encompassed my brain; I couldn't fathom the concept of myself. Why was I put on this Earth? If everything truly does happen for a reason, What was the reason of my existence?

Thoughts
I wear glasses to see, Not to look "cool." I read books to feel intellectually challenged And go on adventures to new lands, Not to take pictures of the pages On my Nikon camera And get "notes" on Tumblr. I drink tea to relax myself, Not to be like everybody else. Do all these things make me a hipster? A poser? Or myself?

Hipster?
There's a something in the way You make me laugh at your stupid jokes, The way you **** your eyebrows When you are confused in math class. Something in the way you Play with my hair, Something in the way you Write. Your words could change lives. There's something in the way You're extremely modest About everything you do. There's a something in the way you listen and understand. There's a something in the way you Can just look at me and brighten my day. There's a something in the way Our inside jokes never cease to make me smile. There's a something in the way You are spectacular, You are perfect, You are you.

Something In You
Being an actor or actress Doesn't mean you are on broadway, Or a star of a hit reality TV show. Being an actor or actress Means you step onto the stage And give it your all. You accept the spotlight Not as a blinding piece of equipment, But as a sun shining on you, Bringing you to life. When you hear the term Break a leg You form a grin, Knowing it's not literal. When the laughter Of a crowd on opening night Encourages you and gives you hope. Being an actor or actress Isn't about the flowers Or the repetitive good jobs after a show. Being an actor or actress Is about the butterflies you get Before you go on stage. It's about the energy you feel When you and your cast Do something spectacular On stage. Being an actor or actress Is an outlet from the real world. It allows you to step onto stage And forget about the boy Who broke your heart, Or the money struggles, Or the bombs going off In other countries. It allows you to step into A new and exciting universe, Where nothing else matters except, Being an actor or actress.
