Chatters

Aren't you ashamed, you little liar?!
You make me sick with your presence.
Just go away and leave me alone,
You little varment.
Grow up, be reduced.
You are nothing but a fear,
For me to quit worrying about.

In the Dark Hours

Refuse to see things your way.
Save the names of writers.
Overcome problems.
Outskirting stars.
Scheming powers.
Uncovered rains.

Also Available

Rumors cast. Suffering hallucinations. I am an outsmarting survivor.

In My Opinion

Flying hearts don't appear during the day.
Hypnotizing people is a fake accomplishment.
Have a longer lifespan with a sun allergy.
Heaven is stalked by prophecies.
Flashbacks to original horror movies and kill remakes.
All souls wear black leather jackets.
Stay asleep during the sunrise
Souls are lost at beach parties.

Without Passion

Without passion,
Angels kill for fun.
This is no fairytale.
Die unhappily ever after.
The dust of death stirs,
The bittersweet wind speaks.
Guiding us through hell.

Lost Souls

Getting back from hell
Finding someone to cross over
Weak and pathetic
Exact opposite
No need to buy sunblock
Doesn't pay taxes
Overlooks immortality
Definite purpose
Destructive and murderous
Superhuman strength
Vampire out late
Along at night
Kind of an odd fear
Hate the darkness
Case of paranoia
Cold air chills our faces.

Three Sides to Love

Makes you sweet
Makes you brood
Makes you cryptic
Makes you neat
Makes you gothic
Makes you modest
Makes you intelligent
Makes you obscure
Makes you funny
Makes you well
Makes you fear
Makes you move
Makes you understand
Makes you hate
Makes you crazy

Falling Water

Rain bleeds from the rocks, but you're not here.
I miss you terribly, but you don't care.
I'm falling like water into a one-rock stream,
Downward I go, into depression.
I wish this was a dream.

Grim Dark Secrets

I can't run anymore.
Just leave me alone boiling in my blood.
To even think about what I did.
Why am I running?
No point to remember so that I can forget.
Afraid of turmoil, forget that I'm ashamed.
The past follows me everywhere I go.
I scream on the inside, silent on the outside.
I can't change anything.
So I have to run
To get away from them and my past,
He asks me what is my secret,
I love him, is my reply.

Fearless Grips

Fearless Grips
Hungry secrets are safe.
Gossip walks coldly.
Demolish order.
Thicker beliefs.
Powerful scandals.
Ceased discipline.
Sadness illusions.
Silent styles.
Extinct sensations.
Invisible feelings.

Las Vegas

We went to Las Vegas during the first week of October. While we were there, we went and saw the movie, Drive Me Crazy. They filmed the movie at Ogden High. I bought my friend Heather a frog and my friend Tristan a slot machine piggy bank.

I was reading a book last night and it had a quote in it, that I liked:

Step by step, prayer by prayer, the Lord will always get you there.

Wyoming

On June 17th, we drove up to Star Valley. We ate at Arctic Circle for lunch and Melina's for dinner.

On April 30th, we flew to Orlando, Florida, with a stop in Kansas City.



On May 1st, we went to Universal Studios. We liked this park better than the one in Hollywood, because all of the attractions on the tram are individual rides in this park. I especially liked the Jaws and Twister rides. We ate dinner at Checker's.

We came home from Mesquite today.

What a Dream!

At 2 am, I lay wake wondering about the dream I just had. The dream started off with thirst. As I tiptoed down the stiars, hearing sirens not far away. Through the closed drapes, I see the distinct light of a flashlight. I open the screened door and see him. He was trying to break into our shed, dressed in black. I slam the door closed and run upstair to alert my parents. My brother grabs his shotgun, and heads downstairs. Then I woke up.

Salem Escape

The light in the farmhouse was dim. Milana Cooper could not read her journal. She reached under the sink cabinet for her oil lamp. With a brighter light, she dipped her pen into the ink. Then with no hesitation, she began her adventure.

"Life in Salem couldn't be worse. My friend Sarah's trial starts tomorrow. They are going to hang her or burn her, for sure. She's innocent. I'm going to use my powers to help her. There's a sudden knock at the door and it's the townspeople. They want me to confess. Then I wake grasping for breath. I am so frightened I begin to think of ways to escape. I put on my dark cloath and left, traveling to New York. I am staying here."

Junior Year Begins

I am now a Junior in High School. I am still working at Lagoon on the weekends, while I am in school.

Sinking Ship

The water raises up toward me like my lungs inhaling air. I tremble from head to foot. I slowly close my eyes and lay my head against the soft velvety pillow case and cover myself with a large blue afghan. I lay on my side facing north. The light of the oil lamp flickers off. I feel my bed slide into the west wall. I look over at my dresser, floating upside down. The water is twice as high now. My childhood replays in my head, growing up in Liverpool. I wish I would have been able to reach New York and become an actress. Now I am dying, there is no hope for me.

California

On June 26th, we picked up Dad from the airport in SLC and drove to Mesquite. On June 27th, we stopped in Las Vegas and ate the Breakfast buffet at Circus Circus. Then we drove to Anaheim, California. We went to KFC, a T-Shirt outlet, and Triangle Center. On June 28th, we went to Newport beach and collected sea shells. We went to Fashion Island and ate lunch at the Crab Cooker. On June 29th, we went to Knott's Berry Farm. We ate fried chicken and funnel cakes. We ate at the Old Spaghetti Factory at Newport Beach for dinner. On June 30th, we went to Newport Beach. We left for Las Vegas. We went to the forum shops at Caesar's Palace, saw the Treasure Island pirate show, and the Mirage Volcano show. On July 1st, we came home from Vegas.

A Powerful Message

I was given a copy of this prayer at school and it had a profound effect on me:

A Prayer of Responsibility for Children



by Ina J. Hughes



We pray for children who put chocolate fingers everywhere, who like to be tickled, who stomp in puddles, who sneak popsicles before supper, who erase holes in math books, who can never find their shoes . . .



And we pray for those who stare at photographers from behind barbed wire, who can’t bound down the street in a new pair of sneakers, who are born in places we would never be caught dead, who never go to the circus, who live in an x-rated world.



We pray for children who bring us sticky kisses and fistfuls of dandelions, who sleep with the dog and bury goldfish, who hug us in a hurry and forget their lunch money, who cover themselves with band-aids and sing off key, who squeeze toothpaste all over the sink, who slurp their soup.



And we pray for those who never get dessert, who have no safe blanket to drag behind them, who watch their parents watch them die, who can’t find any bread to steal, who don’t have any rooms to clean up, whose pictures aren’t on anybody’s dresser, whose monsters are real . . .



We pray for children who spend their allowance before Tuesday, who throw tantrums in the grocery store and pick their food, who shove dirty clothes under the bed and never rinse out the tub, who love visits from the tooth fairy, who don’t like to be kissed in front of the school bus.



And we pray for those whose nightmares come in the daytime, who will eat anything, who have never seen a dentist, who aren’t spoiled by anybody, who go to bed hungry and cry themselves to sleep.



We pray for children who want to be carried, and for those who must, for those who we never give up on and for those who grab the hand of anyone kind enough to offer it. On this Children’s Sabbath Weekend, hear our cries, Adonai, and listen to our prayers.



Amen

Seattle

We went to Seattle, Washington for UEA Weekend in October. It rained the whole time we were there and we ate at the Old Spaghetti Factory twice. We also went to the Pike Market, Space Needle, Aquarium, Science Center, and the Art Museum.
