Mrs Ashley Somebody: Favorites

you are the sun on a hot summer's day

you are the clouds on a cold, rainy day

you are the first flower that blooms upon spring's arrival

you are the first tear that falls when a young adult gets into their dream college

you are the smile that grows along a child's face when they meet their hero

you are the first hit song from a breakthrough band

you are the first line of an inspirational speech

you are the first 'A' on someone's straight A report card

you are the quality of sound that comes from a brand new pair of headphones

you are the first star to shine at night

you are the first letter written with a brand new inkwell pen

you are the cheers of a teenager, when they finally get their permit

you are the sound of laughter

you are the sound of happiness

you are the blush that grows along my cheek, when you make an appearance

you are everything well in the world

and you are my dream.

The Wonderful World of Feelings.

i have feelings
you have feelings

... we all have feelings!

some feelings stick
other feelings are magical
and some feelings even connect with other feelings

... how magical!

feelings are meant to be shared
like a gigantic 64 pack of crayola, the ones with the fancy sharpener

however, some feelings hurt
like a nail going through the layers of skin, causing blood to pour out

so always, be careful of your feelings
not everyone will share them, or want to be aware of them
feelings can cause misery, and joy

be careful with them!

Daily Occurrences Bite.

When did you become a daily part of my life?

I wish I could erase you.
Lock you in a box and disregard the key, toss it in the trash.
Avoid you on the street, like an ex partner or an old pal.
I wish I could throw away your body, lock it in a car and drive it off a ledge.

I wish you wouldn't be a daily occurrence anymore.
It's not fair to me.
Or anyone else that has to deal with you.

If only they made erasers big enough for you.

i sure do hate math class.

Those Little Words.

Little, meaningless words

that you say

give me such a feeling of joy

that no one else can

thank you.

Is This How It All Ends?

everything is falling apart
everything is straying away from the set plan

everything is crumbling down to pieces

and i'm left to be a bystander to my own demise

old draft i decided to fix up.

must've been a ****** day

Amber-In-A-Box

fold me up
put me in a box
let me be your jack-in-a-box
only use me
when you need me for a quick entertaining time
then fold me up
and leave me to turn to rust

isn't that what always happens anyway?
