"All I know is that I know nothing."- Socrates

You live with the
                             idea of death
You love with the
                             opportunity to hate
You try to learn of the
                                    uncertain
Which is an impossible task to take
And all the while you c o n t r a d i c t  yourself
Sometimes making your life a living hell

This poem is based on the quote, "All I know is that I know nothing."-Socrates
It was a quote my grandmother used to recite to my mother in Spanish.

I've been told of love stories but what happened to all the mistakes made along the way?
Those stories of passion turned to regret...
Fondness turned to hatred....
What about being ******* over after being *******?
Am I supposed to believe that fairy tales are all that exist when I observe what reality really is?
I haven't really looked this poem over since I wrote it just a few minutes ago...I guess it is just a draft until I can edit it.

Fairy tales only serve the purpose of riling up kids to think that their Prince Charming exist but then they are broken down by reality. I think there is a type of Prince Charming that exists in reality....When you find a guy that meets more than your physical needs such as engaging you intellectually and emotionally....and respects you as a strong women that you are, then you have the right to call that guy your Prince Charming. It might be a distorted version then what you expected as a young girl but perhaps it is a better version.

It's 4:30 in the morning
I'm writing
                 studying
                               singing
                                            dancing
                                                         listening to music
My room is alive
While the rest of the house sleeps
So I decided to stay up and get some work done since I have a lot to do... I took a nap for about two hours at like 8 pm and woke up at 10pm and now it's 4:30 am. I finished an exam paper and two essays. I just started writing my English final.. I am literally just going crazy... for some reason I'm really hyped up and I'm listening to some music..In about two hours or a bit less I'll get dressed for school...

I've been living for your thoughts
My writing  has become mind numbing work for you
Every word uttered belongs to you
My confidence withers under your stare and my heart beats to the extreme
but I'll never be the girl of your dreams
So this is yet another poem that has not been edited. I'll look it over later......
Lately I found myself attempting to write love poems...here is the result.

Just know time
                         At night his mind looks at things with a little bit of light
His
       lost soul is pained inside his old body pretending to have purpose
His
       reflection is anything but proud
                                                           ­  just distorted and aged
He
     never knew bliss even at a young age
His
      father never cared to know that he lived
He
     then ended up married to a girl who only knew how to drink
His
      regrets flowed through his veins giving him the energy to forgive
                             but when time finally caught up
                            this meek figure had already fallen
So I wrote this but I haven't really looked it over so this is just kind of like a draft until I have more time to change a lot of things.

How he feels about me
   Old conversations
      Embarrassing moments
         Depressing moments
           Family
             School
               Poetry
                 Future plans
These thoughts constantly set up sleepless nights
Not even a poem. I am just currently thinking about those things and they do usually keep me up at night. I'll post something better later.

By the way.....I've been listening to Green Eyes by Wavves and I cannot get it out of my head! So yeah that is currently the song I listen to the most.

Do you get life?
                                           Do I get life?
               I know the answer to that. It is simple. If I got life, I would understand you. But I dont and I am ok with that. I am ok with the fact that I have to be wondering if you are my so called friend. Life is a mystery and so are you. You don't know what's coming next is it life is it death? You are only what you are because you made yourself, you cannot blame it on any one else. You have faults, everyone does, but yours are of not being understood. You stop communication, you yourself stop understanding. People talk to you, you dont answer. You are lost, with no one who cares enough to find you. If I care enough to find you, you are in to deep too be seen, in too deep to be found. You brought yourself there, you are to blame. Nobody else, not me
I was like in 6th grade when I wrote this. I did not do any editing at all. I copied it and did not change any words or punctuation so it is exactly like it was when I wrote it in 6th grade. I'll probably look over it sometime but for now I haven't changed anything. I still remember this poem and why I wrote it. It was about a friend. She was just busy with so many things that were not making her happy and she was cutting me off when I was trying to help so I ended up writing about her. It seems like I was making a big deal out of it because I was only in 6th grade but things are not always what they seem.
It's really awful but keep in mind that I was like 11 or 12. I don't know if that's a good excuse but yeahh
