The Habits of My Heart

When you're 10 all you wanna do is wear those high heels,
those adult clothes, the make up to cover up,
all you try to do is grow up and time speeds up,
with no pause button, no rewinds,
You simply run out of time.
Before you know it you'll have that cigarette in your hand instead of that doll,
that short skirt instead of those ripped up old blue jeans,
You'll have mascara running down your face trying to figure out how time took it all away.
Before you know it you'll be exactly where you were when you were 10 but everything and nothing feels the same.

Time, time is always five steps ahead when you're already three steps behind.

The *****

Under the orange
street lights
it's 3am

Longing to find him,
she skulks alone
in the dark

And as London sleeps
her cries go unheard
by all but one

The other night, I woke up to the calls
of a red fox outside of my window. They sounded
something like http://youtu.be/gVLvw-LhWyQ

To the Top

To the Top

You’re on your way little friend,
To hope, to success, to the bend
In the road that will make you choose
What you want, what is right, what you can’t refuse.
And you’ll decide, little friend,
What hopes to nurture, what scars to mend.
And you’ll pick right,
Little friend.
You’ll follow the light to the end, little friend.
So breathe, smile, fear not,
Little friend,
For you have nothing to lose.

Restless Mind

Mar 2013 Alexandra

Michael Vukmer

Restless Mind

My mind is not at rest.
It is encumbered and entombed with:
signs and symbols,
numbers and variables.
These values cause my mind to shrink.
With a shrunken mind, I can no longer see
the rolling landscapes,
the life-empowered trees,
the magnificent mountains,
the endless oceans and flowing rivers,
the birds and bears that live throughout
the peaceful land
that my mind can find serenity in.

*Another poem created by of my lack of sleep but this time with the addition of physics homework.

We do not quit playing because we grow old, we grow old because we quit playing.

Life Is Good ..

Mar 2013 Alexandra

Omar Abo Shama

Life Is Good ..

Life is too short ..

Take the good with the bad and accept ..

Try to be different and break the rules ..

All of us are living , so choose the way you want to live with ..

Laugh when you are sad ..

Smile when you are crying ..

Stare at the sun ..

Sit or walk or run ..

Be far or be near ..

Feel the protection or feel the fear ..

Love people or hate ..

Do what you want .. it’s your fate ..

Love what you got but always remember what you had ..

Forget what you can and forgive who you want ..

Learn from your mistakes , but never regret ..

Be the person that you love , not the one they love ..

Don’t care about any talk ..

Don’t stop !! do anything . Run or at least walk ..

Cry , but dry your tears fast ..

Move on and try to make it the last ..

Live your day and walk on your past ..

Nothing to lose !

Everything you are losing , it wasn’t yours ..

Even yourself isn't yours ..

Think of how different it would be if you never met the one person who changed everything ..

At all we are living ..

Create the fact ‘' Nothing Will Change No matter What You Do ’’ .. so move on

In every sun shine try to start a new life ..

And let the moon take all your pains when it goes ..

And what will happen !

Leave your broken world behind ..

Always try to say ‘’ Never Mind ‘’ !

Doesn't matter if you can see or you are blind ..

Life is like a book ..

More pages , just turn over the page ..

Dream to see Tomorrow fine ..

And dream to read the good line ..

You can control ..

Even if you couldn’t !

Whatever ..

If you are smiling or sad ..

If you are a good one or a bad ..

If you are a normal one or a mad ..

If you had completely lost it .. or everything you had ..

IT GOES ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
