Missing Snow

So I'm originally from Jersey, but I live in Orlando, FL now. All my friends/family have been talking about how much snow they've been getting the past month and it kinda makes me sick. Yeah I said it I MISS THE SNOW! You know how long it's been since I've had a snowball fight? Made a snowman/snowangel? Went sledding/tubing?! I don't know if I miss the shoveling so much, but still!... If any of yall from the North could do me a favor, please bring me about 8 inches of snow and I'll be a pretty happy person. Thanks

Mirror

I was at a crossroads one day: I anxiously wanted to write something but I had no subject. I started asking around and one of my friends on facebook said: "I have this friend (she was totally talking about herself) who has trouble when it comes to being in touch with my emotions with dudes I'm talking to/dating/interested in etc... So you should write about something to do with that" The end result is:

Mirror

They say

When you look into

A mirror

You see into

Your soul

I guess this explains

Why, every morning,

Getting ready

Takes so long

I know it looks like

I’m doing a lot

But while

my teeth are brushed

my skin’s examined

my hair’s maneuvered

my outfit’s approved

Subconsciously

My eyes

are fixed

On the reflection of

My eyes

Trying to find…

My eyes

But

I ignore being blind

I ignore being cold

Too bold,

I continue on with my day

I work

I learn

I play

However, the mirror stays

It follows me

Anytime I think I’ve found

Someone who

Was supposed to be found

For me

I fix

My eyes

into

Their eyes

Only to see

My eyes

Then I realize

I am seeing the person

who really needs help,

the person who’s wall

around their castle

is so tall

because of fear

of someone stealing

and manipulating

their wealth

I am seeing myself.

In stealth

And in knights armor

Protecting the health

of my heart

I hate feeling unmoved

I hate feeling numb

I hate feeling like a vegetable

I hate feeling like the only people

I’m compatible with

Are cold

It’s getting old

Maybe if I change

My routine

And speak positively

My heart’s warmth

Will unfold

Because

They say

When you speak into

A mirror

You speak into

Your soul

New Beginnings

Hello World! I'm excited for the start of my new blog! I never thought I'd ever have 1 but it's funny how life changes. Thank you so much for being a part of something monumental! I'll try not to disappoint. There will be poetry. There will be music. There will be spoken word recordings. There will be thoughts. There will be struggle. There will be LIFE! This is my journey and it's only the 1st post. Enjoy world... because i will regardless.
