guest speaker poem
he was super nice, and his accent wasn't that bad
i understood every word and sometimes I cared
he talked about india, 9/11 and I wasn't scared.
He's a friend of DR clarks, so that makes him alright with me
It was another speaker, and I'm done blogging.

something I don't remember writing... but glad I did.
I want to wrap my legs around the sun..
dangle upside down above the world and laugh at all the wars..
not because they are funny but because they have no point...
and pointless things deserve some laughter..
and everyone lives happily ever after
or before...
becuase we're here right now
and thats what we should be fighting for
our right to be alive, happy and maybe free
our right to be you, him, she, or me....
our right to love or leave..
our right to disagree or believe...
and no matter what you believe in you cannot deny this..
that those who are here are alive and those who are not are missed
and if you just listen to music then you know we exist
because you hear the way life sounds when its lived by instruments
all our choices put into lyrics and voices
all our passion expressed with noices
we all have pain and suffering
and everyone has a mother know matter how comforting
so the nature of who we are isnt about where we started
its about where we are right now
and thats how i know i wont be here for forever
becuase who would want to go through this and never
get to rest after all this life we have lived
i am living it now
i didnt make the choice
somehow i was a flower that got the chance to be born...
or a sweater that is always worn and i dont care what i am... i am here so i am proud
and because i have a mouth i have the right to be loud
and i have a heart that is made to pound... love and blood all around
and most of me is made of water
its the same with the earth and i'm its daughter
so just a chip off this huge glorious block
and i know that im the one who is gonna stop
turning and revolving
and quit my problem solving
but for now i will spin and dance and grin
not because it rhymes or because its a sin
but because this is the one life ive been given
so i might as well live it with a smile on my face
and i know that eventually its gonna erase
but that doesnt stop me from having bad days
i mean most of mine are
but that is just to say
that i choose to be unhappy, defeated and low
but now i know i can be higher and i can choose to glow
yeah i know i can be higher and i can choose to show
my appreciateion for life and everyone i've gotten to know
and if i know you i love you because we have shared the same placea nd time and space
and that deserves some reckognition with all the other lives in exhistense
so i say thank you to the sun for keeping things bright
and i say thank you to the stars for coming out at night
because there is so many of you... that i will never see
so the ones i do... are those ones for me..
and i know that to be true
but i've never been you
no i dont see what you see.. and dont hear what you hear
but that is not the reason to have you as a fear
no that is just a reason to have you as a friend
and i know that life will end
but maybe slower than we think
or maybe ina blink
i dont know i dont know
but i'm starting to show
my grace with nature and my place with danger
and none of it matters//
we are here just giving it up
giving everything we have to see if it amounts to anything
besides the chance to be alive
and i'll give you a high five just for the fact
tahat we both have hands that can make a clap
and yeah we can touch lips if we really wanted
but to do that might make our lives stunted
and i just want tolive a little more alive
and give just a little more time
to show that i am thrilled to have my own
body mind and maybe soul
but we wont know until we have gone
but i am here now so i will not let go
and i am here now... and i will choose to grow.
yeah i will choose to grow.
