Hatred Is Here

Hate

Sucking all
Happiness here
STOP

Me, Myself and I

Alexandra
Hardworking, Dancer, Writer, Loyal
Sister of Catie and Mollie, Daughter of Valerie and Damien
Lover of no one (for now)
Who feels that poetry is a savior, life isn't complete without friends, and love will find a way
Who fears isolation, failure, and not believing
Who would like to see their writing published, their designs manufactured, and their lives well
Resident of The Bronx, New York
McKenna

Just a Little Something-Something

In a world with so much life and culture,
All you need is just a little something-something

It's better than a whole lot of something,
Because then it might be too much

Like love,
All you need is a sample

To realize
It isn't the only thing to make someone happy

And if they think it is,
All they need is just a little something-something

Tell them they're better off without
Another terrible heartache

That there is nothing more better than being 
Free from the name, "So-and-so's girl"

All they need,
Is just a little something-something

My Best Friends

Best
Friends now
Standing by me
What could I ever ask of them besides,
To be my diaries, and my saviors
From the trouble
happ'ning
now
For you Josephine and Reem :)

The Canvas

The canvas is blank; all blank
You could paint a picture of a plank
With a pirate on board,
That collects eggshells to hoard,
With some iron around his neck, going CLANK.

Life In General

Did you know?
Life comes at you like a sword
Slashing, Crashing, Thrashing, Slice
Heads t'wards you without a word.

My Birthday Is Here - Please Read Immediatly -

Just to let you know,
A very special day is approaching

IT IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Taking place on May 24th

The day I was born
And my mother and me adjoined

Cuddled and comforted
In each other's love

Tomorrow is the day
That I turn thirteen

Finally I will have entered,
My teens

From then on it will be consumed
By hormones and PMS and what-not that I will deal with

Somehow I look forward to aging even more
I grow more mature, but also more old

I think I'll be taken
Quite a bit more seriously

Not treated like a child,
How most people think we should be 

So yes it will be my birthday,
In about two hours

I hope I get lots of comments
Wishing me a well one!!!!!

The Truth About Your God

The truth about your God,
Is that he is not superior to you.

There is no hierarchy in God,
No matter what your institutionalised religion preaches.

The truth about your God,
Is that he is not a punisher to you.

Your mistakes are not seen as condemning,
For they are learning points to grow from.

The truth about your God,
Is that you need not understand him.

He is not a single man,
For he exists as the Universal Soul.

The truth about your God,
Is that he is the consensus of our souls.

Indeed he is a higher power,
Only because a piece of all creates him.

The truth about your God,
Is that you are just as divine as he.

Every this and that holds a piece of life, of him,
There is an abundance of knowledge accessible to you because of him.

The truth about your God,
Is that you are taught about him with fault.

There is no definitive answer,
For all knowledge is open to interpretation.

The truth about your God,
Is that he is what you make of him.

He is not God, 
Instead he is Life,
Instead he is Knowledge,
Instead he is Soul,
Instead he is Mind,
Instead he is You.

Praise God,
For he is all of these things,
And all of these things,
Exist in you.



**The question which inspired this poem: "Why is God still God at the end of the day, Creator of Heaven and Earth, creator of all therein, including man (and his Soul) worthy of all praise?"

Follower - Revised

I was a follower
A coward,
 
Just trying to fit in
In this busy, busy empire
 
Then I met a person,
who believed she had it all
not in the bad way, as you would suppose
 
She gave me some advice,
Can you guess what it was?
 
Simple and plain,
Just powerful enough:
 
She said if you hold your head up high
But not so far
That your nose is in the sky...
 
If you're proud of what you acquire,
Your confidence shoots higher
 
If you speak up, voice your opinion,
Let people know that you’re not just another minion...
 
If you be who you want to,
And forget the people who say it’s not you...
 
And if you are kind to others,
Especially your mother
 
YOU are a leader.
You ARE a leader.
You are a LEADER.
 
If you stand up for  the people that you may not even know
Tell that ignorant harasser just to get up and go
 
If you know where you should be,
There’s a whole lot you can see
 
If others think you're worth nothing,
Show them they’re wrong by saying
 
“You're wasting your time by trying to waste mine!”
And just walk away
 
Make sure to tell them
That
 
You’re a leader,
But what are they?
