We Will Defy Gravity

We Will Defy Gravity

When I’m with you,

I can do anything.

We become one

And nothing can tear us apart.

My heart soars in your arms;

It flies high in the sky.

When I am with you,

I feel like I’m in heaven.

We float on the clouds

And play in the open space.

People say we can’t be together.

I say let’s defy gravity!

My heart is yours,

My love is real.

When they say we can’t be together,

We will say, “Yes, we can!”

We will thus defy gravity.

We’ll float above the solid ground,

The world cannot pull us down.

We look across the ocean of people,

And see a great expanse.

Nothing but a rolling ocean of doubt,

A game that everybody will lose.

They start popping up,

Each of them,

One by one.

That is when we realize,

No matter what anybody said,

We defied gravity!

The others saw us fly.

They wanted to do the same.

They decided to tell the doubt and the worry and the pain

“Get lost,” and to “Go take a hike!”

We banded together over the masses.

We united as one body.

One who will fight for freedom.

The ones that had doubt saw that we can defy gravity.

They tried to reach us but failed.

We had a bond that could not be severed for, together,

You and I,

We will defy gravity!

Who Do You Think You Are

To the love of my life:    

            Who do you think you are to treat me this way? I loved you with all of my heart and gave you everything. Other than breaking my heart, what did you accomplish? Was it really worth it for you to do that and to lose the one person that really loved you for who you are? I’m sorry for all that I said. I wish that I could take it all back and erase the past. I can’t stand to live with this regret while wondering what it would be like if we never said those things to each other. Are you happy now that you are free of me and that you don’t have to worry about my feelings? I miss you and wish that we were still together and that this had never happened. Why does love have to be so cruel? I feel as if my heart was ripped out of my chest and stabbed repeatedly. I have just one more thing to say to you: I will ALWAYS love you!

With all that I have,

The Heartbroken

Another year has passed yet again...

Well, another year has come and gone yet again. As we look back over the year and think of things that we should have done, and things that we could have done differently, we wonder "Where has the time gone?" Each month flew right by at a dizzying speed which left our heads spinning. It is only a small matter of time before we will be seeing 2013 turn into 2014. After everything that we have all been through, we will never be the same. We were all given something at some point this year, whether we wanted it or not. Does it really matter if we wanted what was given to us? Of course not! Even if we got a toothbrush for our birthday rather than a new iPod, car, or whatever else we may want, we must be thankful for it. It is the small things that matter the most to us. Cherish ever moment as if it were your last. Life is too short to spend any amount of time being mad, sad, irritated, etc. We must remember to be like a duck. The things that irritate us are water and when water hits a duck's back, it just rolls off. Let us all make a decision to spend as much time being happy and joyous as possible in the new year.
Happy New Years!
