tulungan mo 'ko sayo ay muling magtiwala wag mo na ko bigyan ng rason upang magduda, hindi naman masama maging tapat diba? hindi rin masama magmahal ng isa. kung si Eba ginawa para lamang kay Adan, si Adan ba ay ginawa para sa dalawang Eba? nagkamali ba ang Diyos sa disenyo Nyang ginawa? tulungan mo 'ko, sinta na sayo ay muling magtiwala. sabi nga ni Chito Miranda, "ang tiwala parang tsokolate" pag natunaw na, di na mababalik sa dati nitong itsura, sa dati nitong sarap. ***babalik ako sayo, hindi dahil bumalik ang tiwala ko babalik ako sayo, dahil tumitibok pa ang puso ko babalik ako sayo, sana tama ang pinili ko babalik ako sayo, dahil pinili kong magtiwala ulit sayo.***

I Will Never Give Up on You   By: Miranda Martinez-Perez   I've  been to a place "they" would consider "the top," And it felt great... that was.. until I fell. It was a long way down. Would it hurt? I thought not; And I was wrong, cause it hurt like H*ll. I've hit rock bottom with an awful THUD. Took me a while to realize I was still alive. I wondered if it'd even be worth it to get back up.. Then pondered if I should just accept this is how I would die. But something inside of me wasn't ready to fail. I wasn't  ready to give up the fight. In my mental prison, I chose to make bail. I can't change my wrongs, but I can make them right. So I got up, though it took all that I had left inside, Went to that place that for so long I feared. I knew the first one with whom I had to make things right, that one was the one looking back in the mirror. "I'm sorry," I said, "your expectations were not too much. I admit I've just let myself get in the way. I never took it into consideration that I alone am enough. And all the extras in life were only for show and play. You are perfect, I love you, and I am going to change. I don't deserve for you to believe me, but I swear it's true." The response I got.. I never expected to hear MYSELF say.. That was, "I will never  give up on you."

I Will Never Give Up On You
Listen to my words the kids they going crazy Getting locked up All they can clutch, Miranda rights at the same time alright Miranda writes Our thoughts put to paper Play it out on the stage Never know the difference Its a turn of the page Some use their bullets some wield a knife Others preach the dollar Is How they take our lives Grab you by the collar And break you down with lies Don't matter what your searching Only what you find This is our misfortune Blinded by distortion Someday we might wake up As we struggle to align You cannot be free all that blood in your eyes Round and round in circles A place I call my home Just a lonely misfit With the strength of a stone Wonder round these valleys While you sit upon your throne Sometimes it's hard to admit The scale of this dismay Indeed we are alone Some use their writing The bullet is a pen I killed oppression Does that mean That I'm insane I killed oppression What's left to be? waiting in vain I killed oppression a fury made of fire Brought down all the people We were never equal I killed oppression Standing on the sun The flames You can keep em They killed oppression Shot it right between the eyes Third, you may see Lead you to your destiny They killed oppression Look at the world Crumble let it be No one really cares About the people No one really cares About the people They killed oppression The wars about a dollar Corporate oversight Disguise pain with laughter Gotta feed the horde Seduction is their nature They killed oppression Read between the lines They.

WE **** OPPRESSION
Listen to my words the kids they going crazy Getting locked up All they can clutch, Miranda rights at the same time alright Miranda writes Our thoughts put to paper Play it out on the stage Never know the difference Its a turn of the page Some use their bullets some wield a knife Others preach the dollar Is How they take our lives Grab you by the collar And break you down with lies Don't matter what your searching Only what you find This is our misfortune Blinded by distortion Someday we might wake up As we struggle to align You cannot be free all that blood in your eyes Round and round in circles A place I call my home Just a lonely misfit With the strength of a stone Wonder round these valleys While you sit upon your throne Sometimes it's hard to admit The scale of this dismay Indeed we are alone Some use their writing The bullet is a pen I killed oppression Does that mean That I'm insane I killed oppression What's left to be? waiting in vain I killed oppression a fury made of fire Brought down all the people We were never equal I killed oppression Standing on the sun The flames You can keep em They killed oppression Shot it right between the eyes Third, you may see Lead you to your destiny They killed oppression Look at the world Crumble let it be No one really cares About the people No one really cares About the people They killed oppression The wars about a dollar Corporate oversight Disguise pain with laughter Gotta feed the horde Seduction is their nature They killed oppression Read between the lines They.

Lipstick cigarettes and the empty soul of modern rock n' roll laid in ruin amongst my collection of black soul addictions and sultry benedictions. MIDI saxophones and an ex-girlfriend on the telephone directing me to find my home, to rebuild the comb, to banish the bartender and the Reverend ****** Alamo idiot stand and a neon Jesus waving newcomers into the whitewashed port town known as "Cuba North". At the Caged Gorilla, Linda, the waitress, laughs through yellowed teeth, while my bloodshot eyes crawl up her red gums. Binge'd and my brain keeps parallel with the ceiling fan while a plain clothes cop tries to give me the reprimand for nostalgic mischiefs. Handcuffed and looking for that old fiend, Freedom, while Miranda spews on the back of my skull, slides down my shoulders, dots the cement. Out the door and tourists with cameras looking for evil behind my irises, but I can assure my handshakes feel the same, I'm front pew tame, and I blend with the parade.

we had been mopping the kitchen floor all day and the dirt never stopped coming back and earlier we had sprayed the entire front porch down with the garden hose and now it was still wet which made it feel as if it had recently rained when in fact the grass was a crunchy brown carpet of regrets. the night before we had drunk orange smoothies laced with lime and something aged sleek and dark (i think it must have been the reason we couldn't sleep that night lay awake in my parents bed and i told you why i wouldn't go swimming until the sun rose the dog barked the birds screamed their morning songs and my body stopped its nightly spasms of fear.) and the next evening we put on a miranda lambert song (the one we drank to in your mother's van last winter) sat on the wet porch swing and cracked open our first beers they were really bad i gagged because it tasted like carbonated banana bread with too much stale baking soda and we poured half of them into the flower beds the next morning was sunday and we had milk and muffins in the kitchen with simon and garfunkel then went back out to the porch drank iced coffee in the eleven o'clock sunlight and you said "if this were a normal sunday i would have been up at six at church by eight and done teaching my first sunday school class by ten." (is beer as much of an acquired taste as coffee is? because i can't ever remember not liking it i used to think it was bitter but i always liked it anyway.) i didn't say anything because i didn't want to say what was on the tip of my tongue that this kind of sunday had become my normalcy and our variety of saturday night no longer felt like underage drinking and more like the way i was meant to be.

A Straight Womans Perspective On Protection
Unwillingly Miranda wakes, Feels the sun with terror, One unwilling step she takes, Shuddering to the mirror. Miranda in Miranda's sight Is old and gray and ***** Twenty-nine she was last night; This morning she is thirty. Shining like the morning star, Like the twilight shining, Haunted by a calendar, Miranda is a-pining. Silly girl, silver girl, Draw the mirror toward you; Time who makes the years to whirl Adorned as he adored you. Time is timelessness for you; Calendars for the human; What's a year, or thirty, to Loveliness made woman? Oh, Night will not see thirty again, Yet soft her wing, Miranda; Pick up your glass and tell me, then-- How old is Spring, Miranda?

A Lady Who Thinks She Is Thirty
Mirror Mirror On the wall Who is the fairest of them all? It’s certainly not me You tell me that much But can you at least tell me Who the world wants me to look like? Is it Miranda Kerr, with her flawless skin Or Megan Fox, with the perfect figure? Mirror Mirror On the wall Please tell me Who is the fairest of them all?

The Annual POCU Fashion Show held by the campus organization “People of Color United,” was held in the Student Activities Center on Saturday, April 18. The fashion show is the final activity of the year held by POCU. Junior Martell Prayear and senior Miranda Jackson were the show’s hosts and announcers. The fashion show is a competition where various designers, or teams of designers, are required to create outfits that adhere to a general theme, but also incorporate the designer’s unique, personal concepts. This year, the general theme for the fashion show was: Thrift Shop. Each designer, or group of designers, was required to utilize clothes purchased from the local Goodwill and maintain a $50 budget. Preparations for the event, Jackson said, were very short. “I was really surprised how well it turned out, because we started practicing for the show at four o’clock that day,” Jackson said. “They typically start practicing way a head of time.” Despite the delayed preparation, the fashion show was an overall success. The first designer to present at the fashion show was Victoria Webster. Webster’s fashion line was inspired by professional work attire. “I think it can be hard transitioning college wear into professional wear, on a budget,” Webster said of her outfits. Webster was able to find three models to wear the clothes, which she said was a combination of the model’s personal items, as well as those purchased through Goodwill. The second fashion line presented at the fashion show was designed by Iyana Lynch. For her personal theme, Lynch designed outfits that were inspired by the different seasons. The third designer to present that evening was Alyssa Nieset. Inspired by 90’s menswear, Nieset designed a line of androgynous outfits. The final clothing line presented was a team effort from: Jeanita Blue and Angel Powell. Their theme was considered “90’s Reloaded,” and featured various throwbacks to 1990’s pop culture such as TLC and The Spice Girls. Blue said that most of the outfits in their fashion line were inspired by “eco-friendly fashion,” and were intended to decrease hesitation toward shopping at thrift stores. While the judges finalized the scores for each designer or team, the Urban Dance Association entertained the crowd with a quick performance. The judge’s scores resulted in a tie between Jeanita Blue & Angel Powell, and Iyana Lynch. Despite the general tie, Blue and Powell were awarded first place, while Lynch was granted second place. There was an off-campus reception held in Cleveland after the event. Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/purple-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/green-formal-dresses

The once timid Shores of my resistance. Fearing an inundation of the sorts of Flotsam and Jetsam that can cure a man of loneliness, Were trampled like soccer fans in Venezuela, when you appeared on my shore. Certain that the fraughting souls within, were to cover me in stinking pitch. I retreated to the hills and played the wait and see. Waiting and watching and hoping to pray. And when you legged your way onto my beach, I cried like a gangster on new years eve

I am Miranda
My dear one is mine as mirrors are lonely, As the poor and sad are real to the good king, And the high green hill sits always by the sea. Up jumped the Black Man behind the elder tree, Turned a somersault and ran away waving; My Dear One is mine as mirrors are lonely. The Witch gave a squawk; her venomous body Melted into light as water leaves a spring, And the high green hill sits always by the sea. At his crossroads, too, the Ancient prayed for me, Down his wasted cheeks tears of joy were running: My dear one is mine as mirrors are lonely. He kissed me awake, and no one was sorry; The sun shone on sails, eyes, pebbles, anything, And the high green hill sits always by the sea. So to remember our changing garden, we Are linked as children in a circle dancing: My dear one is mine as mirrors are lonely, And the high, green hill sits always by the sea.

I scattered my wife in an array of bedside ashtrays. I wore my shoes out trying to find a pure form of love. When love found me, it arrived late and carried a fee. The ashes of my former life, crawled, cradled and spliced. Until the wife I burned through, became bright, became beacon. It didn't hit me until the third month of "freedom". I laughed while laying beside Miranda's milky twin. As the copy sputtered with barnacle conversation, I walked free. I walked home. I felt washed clean in a gleaming sea of finding the past me.

fidelity b/w infidelity
I look up at the stars at night, and wonder why they’re all so bright. I look up at the stars at night, and wonder if they have to fight, have to fight for all their might, for their special place in the sky Oh my, I wonder why, oh why they have to die. How many could there be in the dark night sky, how many could there be in the humans little eye. I try to count yes count them all, the souls of the fallen, I hear them call, to their families the ones in their homes. All their voices go at once, all their voices quiet and mute. They fall, and fall, and fall at last, they fall and fall, fall so fast. The difference I kindly see is that they only want to be, with their families safe and sound, but sadly they are tightly bound. It’s wrong to say they’ll be okay, It’s 1855 you see, when all the blacks were sent to sea, to work as slaves they didn’t want to be. So look up at the stars tonight, and wonder why they’re all so bright, because you see they’re all the souls, of the ones you wrongly chose. © 2009 - Miranda Mack-Jackson

What the hell is wrong? What do you think I'm on? I'd prefer a downer, And that you forget about her My hair is longer and golder I look like a mermaid when it falls over your shoulder My waist is small, I could give it all A bad baby with an always broken heart When you tell your stories I listen to every word And I love your shampoo and your sadness And you know how to read the method to my madness And how to talk me down when I'm freakin out above this And all the weird things you do, I do too Since I was a little girl I didn't think I'd find it A shooting star that knows how to rocket Rock it, rock it, dance with me Smarter than Miranda, prettier than Maddy Darker than Zoe, sweeter than Bella And I know it's true cause you always want more I never get old, you never get bored Make the smart decision boy, you're a genius Here's a quarter and a scratch off ticket Ill be under the first layer You'll know when you see it

Winning the Lottery
She’s the type to eat a bowl of ice cream, shoot a gun, and be fine. I’ve never seen so many pieces under someone’s rug before, but she keeps herself in cookie jars, in ink cartridges, in book binds, anything she can find. I’m surprised she even looks in the mirror anymore. It’s not possible that she’s herself whole. But she braids her hair back when she rides her horse, she channels old Miranda Lambert and pumps that kerosene melody through her veins like it wont’ catch fire. I’ve seen her poke her head through old sweaters like she thinks it’ll be something new this time. I’ve seen her paint her skin in expensive body washes, the washcloth like sandpaper as she tries and tries to smooth all of the uneven edges she’s collected. I bet you could watch her memories in a wishing pool, like in a mini mall, with all the pennies heads down. They would spin themselves around the surface, suffocating one another so that only the good ones would shine, but she dare not pour herself into something that reflective. It would only reveal what she ties into the waistband of her old American Eagle jeans every morning, and that would just be too **** hard. It’s easier to venture ******** with a crummy perspective and a realistic approach than it would be to even consider that maybe this time it wasn’t her fault for expecting to much, and that maybe people just ***** up. That maybe, for once she wouldn't blame it on it getting her hopes up that made her fall, but that no one was there to catch her. I’d rather watch her cry herself to sleep for months than to pretend I admire the harsh falsetto she bites back in all of her lullabies. But she’s the type to burn old pictures for fun, to delete contact names, to swallow all her sadness and paint her bedroom a new color than watch herself come undone.

A wild fire. Dripping paint on an open canvas. Colorful, inspiring, vibrant. Breathing life into art. Bold. Strong. Straight forward. Her words powerful. Her thoughts matter. She was born a leader. Her eyes deep pools of water, far more lies beneath the surface. Silent laughter, searching eyes, she is tough as nails, but her compassion runs deep. Socks her best friend, and food her true love. She is beautiful and she knows it. An unforgettable character, beloved like an old classic. Challenge her, support her, she carries herself without conflict. A memorable person, and a best friend. Love, Sara Ashley

Dear Miranda Rene
// if a woman drops her clothing and shows what is too precious to be shown even on film, she has her miranda rights, her indecent exposure trials and ever dollar used to bail her out of a cold cell were they offered her a hospital gown but she also has the eyes that follow her up the street, asking, begging to touch and if that woman says no, or says nothing than the woman still has control of what is done to her body, control of every hand that tries to pry away her god-given right to be safe in her own skin // if a girl decides to wear a short shirt, or fishnet tights, or bright lipstick that costs anywhere from ninety-nine cents to ninety dollars, and she applies it with a heavy hand, like her mascara and eyeshadow, then she is still human, she is still a valid human being who does not deserve your time and voice to call her a **** or say something along the lines of don't go out looking like that *or you'll get ***** but **** is never, ever, ever the fault of the victim // if a woman or girl decides to cover her hair, to abide by her religion, the religion that held the hands of every woman in her family, from sister to great-great-great-great-great grandmother she is not a threat to our country she is a member of our society, a valuable and beautiful one, at that who's culture can guide us to be even kinder in the name of god and if a woman or girl decides to long sleeves and a high-necked top with a long skirt alongside her hijab, she is not matronly, she is modest, and modest is as beautiful as a gucci crop-top or a pair of sky-high louboutins // NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR *there were men who were there for us, who fought for us, and then now, there is a man who will fight us as we march, so we need to be strong and support each other, remember the golden rule, and know each of our gods would want this for our world*

a right to touch her.
// if a woman drops her clothing and shows what is too precious to be shown even on film, she has her miranda rights, her indecent exposure trials and ever dollar used to bail her out of a cold cell were they offered her a hospital gown but she also has the eyes that follow her up the street, asking, begging to touch and if that woman says no, or says nothing than the woman still has control of what is done to her body, control of every hand that tries to pry away her god-given right to be safe in her own skin // if a girl decides to wear a short shirt, or fishnet tights, or bright lipstick that costs anywhere from ninety-nine cents to ninety dollars, and she applies it with a heavy hand, like her mascara and eyeshadow, then she is still human, she is still a valid human being who does not deserve your time and voice to call her a **** or say something along the lines of don't go out looking like that *or you'll get ***** but **** is never, ever, ever the fault of the victim // if a woman or girl decides to cover her hair, to abide by her religion, the religion that held the hands of every woman in her family, from sister to great-great-great-great-great grandmother she is not a threat to our country she is a member of our society, a valuable and beautiful one, at that who's culture can guide us to be even kinder in the name of god and if a woman or girl decides to long sleeves and a high-necked top with a long skirt alongside her hijab, she is not matronly, she is modest, and modest is as beautiful as a gucci crop-top or a pair of sky-high louboutins // NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR *there were men who were there for us, who fought for us, and then now, there is a man who will fight us as we march, so we need to be strong and support each other, remember the golden rule, and know each of our gods would want this for our world*

Never again will I stay away. I've always felt lost. Unaccepted. But that was before I had a family. I have so many people that I know and don't; You are my family. My mother, my father, my brother. They aren't real. They never treated me like family. Never told me they loved me and Sounded like they meant it. They are not real. But, Sage, my love, you are. But, Caitlyn, you are. But, Logan, you are. (Both of you) But, Miranda, you are. But, Connor, you are. And I can go on. And this is high school... Will it last? Or will my family leave me? I continue to worry As time passes. I think and think and think AND I CAN'T FUCKINGNG TAKE IT ANY LONGER!!!! ---- I wonder what will happen. When all of this ends. Because my real family are The ones who kept me here And kept me sane. And let me reach past everything that Ate at me, Burned me, Killed me slowly And rotted me from the inside out. What will happen. Will I move on, Or will the suspense keep building.

As the Suspense Builds
You have the right not to look into Miranda's eyes. Anytime you do look into Miranda's eyes, Anything you see there can and will cause you to fall in love with Miranda. You have the right to counsel on how to write a proper love letter to Miranda. If you have no pencil and paper, they will be provided for you. Do you understand this, as it has been explained to you?

Miranda Warning
. Though my boat is tossed high upon these crests, I fear not the deep sea where the sailors souls rest. Cast adrift, alone to float, my mother Sycorax had planned. But lo! I reach sanctuary and dance ecstatic on the sand. My grotesque form I treasure but loneliness soon must end. Yes! A monster I might be, but Caliban needs a friend. Paradise is mine and ripe. Behold! A kingdom and a home! The sun blisters all day long, oh Muses why am I so alone? “Hush boy! Careful of thy wish, the scheme is so much grander. For Prospero prowls the island with his witch daughter Miranda”. Run ugly Caliban. Run away. Disappear, you must be brave. For the Wizard has loosed Ariel, your wretched body to enslave. The girl holds you enchanted, with promises of fair romance. Feel her pull puppets strings, watch her make You dance. Oh Caliban! What darkness befalls, a prisoner tithed with no trial. Yearn, dear boy, for isolation and the loneliness of your Isle. © Pagan Paul (28/02/17)

Caliban
Okay. I am going to talk now. And I'm not gonna be poetic Rhyme, or make lines or stanzas. I'm just gonna talk. Because this is MY life, and MY opinion and this is a website where I can get out MY feelings. And I shouldn't have to feel like putting up a filter. I don't feel all that special, not standing next to some people. I feel like, like I'm not someone that you'd say "wow I like your outfit" or "wow I like your voice". Because guess what. I wear lame tee shirts from football games three years ago with jean shorts because I don't have TIME or money to shop for appealing clothes to where I can express myself. I can't make an aesthetic. My parents are always telling me how much of a selfish person I used to be. So I DONT ASK for clothes anymore. If I did, it would be so out of the ordinary, the answer would be a painful no. But this isn't about clothes. It's about Never being noticed. I swear sometimes I am wearing the invisibility cloak from Harry Potter. I know quite a few people with a list TO THEIR KNEES on how many people they KNOW care about them. People they can say for SURE care about them. My list. Well you can't call two or three people a list can you? Maybe it's because I don't have those characteristics that draw people to me. I don't have that "strong presence". I don't. I am Miranda Kramer. A junior who looks more like a freshman. When I talk, people don't turn their head to look. When I speak, I find over and over again people talk over me. So, naturally, I don't talk as much as I used to. Yes, rejection is a fear of mine, and so is being ignored. Being replaceable. And YES I wrote a poem about this before, but I don't think I can stress enough that I don't have that twinkle in my eye. I don't have the cute smile that lights up the world. I can't list a single thing that makes me unique, yet I know I am. I know everyone is. But is it true or not that some people are more unique than others? Imagine a sapling. A cute, small, unique pine sapling. Now picture that sapling sitting at the root of a giant oak tree. No one sees the sapling anymore do they? Well that's how I feel compared to most everyone else. People who feel loved, who KNOW people care about you, I am so happy you have that list. I hope you keep adding to it. I'll sit here. Holding the pencil in my sweaty hand, anxious, because I can't tell if that person cares about me. Do they? Or am I forgettable? Am I forgettable? Am I? I can't really tell anymore. I can't really tell anymore
