Previous Lives

I wonder about previous lives often. Is it possible for someone to have lived once before and come back later as a different person? I blame this theory for the type of person I am, whether it's possible or not. I want to know what kind of person I was/might have been/probably wasn't (doubt I'll ever really know but it's fun to speculate). I hope I was a brave person and that I wasn't infamous for anything. I would like to have been someone who made an important difference, even if making that difference resulted in my death like Joan of Ark (I know I'm no Saint I said like) because hey, I'm perfectly fine now. So what if it might not be true, there's a chance that it is.

Unfinished

I wish Coleridge had stayed alive long enough to finish this poem. I hate it when things leave me with questions that can't be answered.

Thoughtless

"To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day."
-Sir Winston Churchill-

N Is For Nefarious

"What word best describes you?" I hate that question, if that's not straight from Miss America I don't know what is. I have been asked that in I don't know how many English classes. I had to do this "project" (that's the best thing I can think to call it) in 10th grade where I had to find an interesting word that describes me to go with each letter of my name. When the teacher first told us about it she asked that question. "What word best describes you?" Of course she asked me. I wanted to say, "Uncertain, right now, but I'll get back to you on that once I've had time to think about it." Instead I said, "Uh, nice." Because my name starts with and "N" and that was the first thing that popped into my head. It wasn't very good but it was better than "uncertain" considering I don't have a "U" in my name. She told me I could do better than that so I had to come up with a different one so I said, "Nefarious." She looked at me for a second and said, "I'm sure that's not true." I was very well aware that nefarious means "extremely wicked". It's not true, I'm not extremely wicked but it was a more complex word than "nice" and she didn't ask me to come up with another one. To this day I think she didn't believe I knew what it meant because none of the other people in the class did and either she didn't want to point that out or she just didn't care because she didn't try to explain it. It was probably one of those things she wanted me to look up myself.

Not Dead Yet

I guess he isn't ready to go on the cart.

I Knew It

I took another quiz and it stated the obvious.

You Are an Old Soul:
You are an experienced soul who appreciates tradition. Mellow and wise, you like to be with others but also to be alone. Down to earth, you are sensible and impatient. A creature of habit, it takes you a while to warm up to new people. You hate injustice, and you're very protective of family and friends. A bit demanding, you expect proper behavior from others. Extremely independent you don't mind living or being alone. But when you find love, you tend to want marriage right away.
Souls you are most compatible with: Warrior Soul and Visionary Soul

Impossible

If I could go back in time and change one thing...well, I don't know what I'd change, I'll have to think about it. Maybe change isn't good because in movies and in books when the past is altered the world is worse than what it was. Many believe all things happen for a reason and most of the time I am one of those people. Most of the time. Watching the news can make a person wonder why all of the bad things that happen could possibly be necessary. Being someone that believes in God, there are many times I want to ask him, why? I guess I'll have to wait until I meet him to get an answer. A real answer. I thought maybe, I would go back and change when Eve ate the apple, that way the knowledge of good and evil would not have been spread to all mankind. Then I thought maybe her doing that was more good than bad. At least now we have the capability to decide things for ourselves and that's not a bad thing. It's what we do with those decisions that kills us. A mind of our own, it's what made us all different from one another. I guess I could never just choose one thing to change, I would have to change a lot of things like: 9/11, The Holocaust, Genocide, every major natural disaster, the deaths of loved ones, Glitter (some comic relief), and the extinction of certain animals and plants. It's not possible but it's a thought.

Long Time Coming

She works patiently all day
Waiting for a kind word to come her way
She's made everything just right
This time she's certain there will be no fight
But that's not true at all
A single picture hangs crooked on the wall
The last statue that was her mother's
He had destroyed all of the others
He picks it up and slams it down
Now it's nothing but shiny pieces on the ground
She know's she's not supposed to cry
Even though inside she's about to die
How much more can she take
Glass isn't all he's managed to break
She's made up her mind
Tomorrow he gets left far behind
He wakes up at first light
And realizes something isn't quite right
Bright red paint catches his eye
One word says it all. GOODBYE

(Don't worry I've not had this happen to me. I really don't know where my poetry ideas come from. They just kind of hit me unexpectedly, but those are the best kind.)

Preparations

I doubt I'm the only one that has negative feelings towards this man. He might die sooner, he might die later but they are going to be prepared just in case.

I Hope
