"I AM FROM"

I am from daisies,
The white and the pink ones.
I am from converse;
From rock and from alternative.
I am from the lioness,
The one that guards her young.
I am from coffee,
That is what keeps me living.
I am from chicken noodle soup
The book and the food.
I am from aliens,
At least that’s what me sister tells me.
I am from nail polish,
And lip gloss and eyeliner.
I am from the cheap and the poor,
But still from the rich and the wealthy.
I am from a family of hundreds,
And see them nearly every weekend.
I am from braces,
And now I can smile.
I am from Ford;
From Honda and Chevrolet.
I am from football;
The Cowboys hold my heart.
I am from Mexican food,
Also Italian and sushi.
I am from Simi;
The Valley of white trash.
I am from spring;
From summer, winter and fall.
I am from toe socks,
But only the striped ones.
I am from Steve Madden,
Most definitely a shoe genius.
I am from a pen and paper
There, my deepest thoughts lye.
I am from the sunlight
Though I’m out in the moonlight
I am from Nirvana,
The White Stripes and Metallica.
I am from Legends,
Of the brave and the bold.
I am from a broken family,
But I still push on.

Unreal--Playlist Poem

I’m just a girl
I love the color pink and daisies too.
I have reason to believe that love is a fairytale
Even if magic isn’t part of the deal.
I’m just a girl
But don’t get it twisted.
Tomorrow I’ll be gone
It was great while it lasted.
I’m just a girl
Who says you can’t trust me?
Girls gossip and talk
But hey, let’s take a walk.
I’m just a girl
No doubt about it
I’ll give you the cold shoulder
Don’t think I won’t commit.
I’m just a girl
My thoughts are often dreams
I don’t have a clue in the world
At least that’s what it seems.
I’m just a girl
I’m counting blue cars
Seems almost as pointless
As counting the stars
I’m just a girl
And all i do is think about is you
My mind is inside out
So tell me what we’re gonna do.
I’m just a girl
I must be in love
Laws of gravity don’t apply
Did I mention you’re all I think of?
I’m just a girl
And now you just think I’m a bitch
But no one really knows
The fun we had when we’d ditch.
I’m just a girl
And I feel like you hate me
Nine days ago you love me back
And know you can’t even look at me.
I’m just a girl
And tomorrow I’ll be gone
It really was great while it lasted
Remember when we used to vacation?
I’m just a girl
And now it’s closing time
But I can’t get a grip
It’s felt like a lifetime.
I’m just a girl
It’s a beautiful day
The sun is out, the grass is green
You even said hello to me, this morning in the hallway.

The Final Remake!!!

" What Truthines Taught Me About Being (Un)Cool" by Sarah Schelde

Sarah Schelde had just discovered a new obsession along with Harry Potter: The Colbert Report. Stephen Colbert, host of the Colbert Report not only reports the most recent and important news, but he also does it with a touch of satire (ok maybe its more than just a touch of satire.) His idea of "truthiness", where the real truth is what you believe to be true, not just what is presented with facts, is what she now lives here life by.

"We Stood in Line at Ellis Island for This?" by Paul Feig

The Narrator begins by giving an example that just about everyone could relate to or remember form childhood: humorous nicknames related to body parts or sexual orentations created from names that sound someone alike. Pual Feig however went through elementary and middle school being called "Fig Newton" from the cookie with a funny song attatched. He later learns though that other people had it worse. Bottom line: children can be cruel.
