Reflections
Silhouettes dancing on the wall
My mind takes me back to when we were together
Back thru winter, spring, summer, and fall
Back when we stayed together no matter whatever
Yet somewhere along on the scheme of things
We lost that spark and we breached that trust
We forgot the joy that our love could bring
And started living separately instead of living
for us

Who Am I?
body, numbback
unfeeling
ears, deaf
unhearing
eyes, blind
unseeing
feet, walking
not advancing
hands, groping
not grasping
questions, asked
no answering
lungs, inhaling
not breathing
mind, working
not thinking
HOPE is fighting yet,
it's not living
What is this place?
This abyss of unemotion
is killing me softly
A kind word, A gentle hand-
rescue me from reality, please.

No Easy Task
Embarking on a secret missionback
It's goal: to find myself
Loving yourself is hard, and
Even harder when no one else loves you
Reaching inside and
Embracing what you find
With love and heartfelt joy
Instead of hate and contempt
Is like climbing Mount Everest
Most don't want to do it
Because it's too much work
Some try and it's in vain
Because few achieve it
And even sadder, some die trying
No, finding yourself and
Liking what you find is no
easy task
Like specks of ketchup onback
a white shirt
Bruises show up clearly
Whether bruises are internal
or external
Depends solely upon the inflictor

The Joy Luck Club is a
story that follows two generations of four Chinese friends. I recommend
highly for those of you who are fascinated with the mystique of the Orient.
Title: We'll Meet Again
Author: Mary Higgins Clark
This story centers around
a young woman named Mary. Her husband, a prestigious doctor at a world-renowned
hospital, has suddenly turned up dead. She's thrown into a web of deceit
and is eventually imprisoned. Five years later and fresh out of jail, Mary's
life begins to unravel as she gets closer to her husband's true killer
who may now be after her.
Title: Things Fall Apart
Author: Chinua Achebe
This story follows one
man's journey through his clan as he watches his entire life shatter before
his very eyes. I recommend this book to realists who aren't afraid to learn
a little bit about history.
Title: Oliver Twist

This story is set in the
1800's and it follows the adventures and hardships of a small orphan boy
who has been seemingly thrown to the wind.
Title: Left Behind
Author: Tim LaHaye
Jerry B. Jenkins
This book talks about the
people who missed being taken to heaven after the Second Coming. It particularly
follows the story of one man's feelings of what to do after he realizes
that he and his daughter have been left behind.
Personal Reflection of WW1
| The reason I chose this picture is because it speaks to me about the brutality of war. It doesn't sugarcoat it in any way. By being a realist I can appreciate the raw bluntness of this portrait. I feel that this picture communicates all the hardships and trials that the soldiers and their families went through. You know the phrase that says,"A picture is worth a thousand words"? Well this picture is worth two thousand. Along with gory pictures of men lying dead, it also shows the gruesome finality of war.The picture shows two dead people lying on a piece of land with absolutely no forms of vegetation or life on it. |
