You are everything
you pretend to be.

Shylah S Nov 2014

When someone asks me
"Who inspires you?"

I think to myself
"What a silly question."

It is not only famous, accomplished people that inspire me,
which is what they would expect as an answer.

its
the stars
the grass
the boy who smiled
the mother picking up a hurt child
the leaves turning brilliant colours in the fall
the young woman who wasn't afraid to tell her story
the old man who felt the spark of persistence
the happiness of the simple pleasures
the smell of laundry
the living mud
the moon

The millions of great people not recognized for their outstanding feats,
but that's okay.

As one of my favourite authors put it when speaking about people who had drive, dreams, inspiration, and grit

**"Great men and great women--
Some famous,
most not..."

- The book where the quote is from is Dream by Susan V. Bosak. It is a picture book, but it's for any age, and tells a wonderful story.

Cringe

Out of boredom,
I open up an old novel I was writing at the age of 13.

I remember thinking I was a brilliant writer,
This book is publishing material.

I read it today and
Cringe
At
Every
Word.

Filled with teenage angst, raging hormones and everything in between.

Why did I think this passed,
For writing?!

Well at least I improved.
But I don't like the fact that,
In few years,
I will cringe at writing I did today.

Hell,
I was reading a poem I wrote last year,
It became trending,
And I think "how?"
Is this even worthy for a like?

Well, I can say I grew.

I wish it was a paper manuscript so I can burn it :P

Je n'aime pas français

J'ai apprendre le français.

J'apprends les mots inutile.

Quand vais-je utiliser,

"Je regrette, mais restaurant est complet"

ou

"L'addition s'il vous plait."

Ils sont inutilisable!

Quand vais-je utiliser

etre, avoir, aller,....

Pourquoi sont-ils irrégulier?!?

Pourquoi peux-je mémoriser tout la grammaire,

présent, passé composé, futur simple, impératif

et beaucoup d'autres.

But people tell me,

English is more complicated than French.

Sigh.

I don't like french.

I mean, "Je n'aime pas français"

Sorry, sorry a little rant about learning french. I have a final test coming up. Also if there are any mistake, please tell. My french needs a little help.

Endless

Endless ink,
flowing,
touching words I will never write.

Endless wind,
flying,
landing in places I will never visit.

Endless dreams,

creating ideas I will never learn.

Headfirst

A thick foam barrier blocks us all,
from a scene of,
illusioned perfect
something we all strive for.
But few achieve.

I want it,
I need it,
I can taste it,
feel it.

I stick a hand in,
a foot.
***** like quicksand.

But I try
"It's so close"
"Just a step away."
Hear happy, twinkling voices
on the up side.

But
too afraid
to put my head in first.

Too afraid
I will not be able
to breathe.

So close to the border,
we all live.
But not quite in.

No--I will not be passive, content with such a life!

So I take a breath,
and dive in.

**Headfirst.

Thoughts occur in my heads, that turn themselves into poems.

After Cinderella

What happens
after Cinderella
is able to be with her prince?

After her stepmother gone
her stepsisters vanquished
all obstacles gone ever since?

Did they grow old
lavished in the kingdom's wealth
and love each other forever?

Or did the handsome prince
grow bored
and find another beautiful woman to endeavour?
