Poem- I wanna

I wanna sing
High above the mountaintops
I wanna dance
All day long, don’t ever stop
I wanna run

“You suck”
“You’re no good”
“You have no worth”
Those liars fill me up with a mental curse
I wish I’d never More >

For what we More >

The Last Day of Summer 2008

Yesterday was officially the final day of summer for 2008. I couldn’t ask for a better ending; this had to be one of the best days I have had in a very long time and not necessarily because of the grandeur of what I did or who I was with; so much as it was More >

Dreams

I believe in impossible dreams
I believe in miracles too
I believe you can accomplish anything
I believe in you
I believe the sky is the limit
I believe the stars are in your reach
I believe life’s what you make it
So learn, so you can teach
