Drowning

Every day I drown in my own sorrow,

Wondering if this pain inside me will ever go away,
My heart is filled with an endless stream of sadness,
Everyday my heart is drowning with my own blood of sorrow,
I'm suffocating inside,
I try to breath,
Yet I never seem to catch my breath,
Nobody sees the pain,
The chains trapping me from breaking free are too much to bear,
Every day I wish to come out of this misery,
A path that soon will lead to destruction,
I must stop,
I must stop,
If I don't I'll end up left alone,
Wondering why?
Oh soon God will hear me,
all the chains that keep me trapped will be broken,
All the pain will soon be lifted from my chest,
Then my heart will be able to pump,
Just then I'll feel peace and happiness,
Be free as a dove.....

Do you guys think this qualifies to be read in the creative writing challenge?

I am so excited, I am finally done with essay #2! Man it was a challenge, yet still pretty cool. For anyone out there who reads this I truly recommend to get help from the teacher. Mathew Jolly is awesome in explaining and very helpful in giving suggestions. For example, I was struggling with my in text citations, but he explained to me how to do it. Also, read my whole essay and gave me suggestions on certain things. I was so glad that I went yesterday during his office hours because there was certain things in my essay that he had found that needed to be revised. Mathew if you happen to read this I just want to let you know that your a great English teacher and I really appreciate you helping me! P.s Thanks lots :).

THE PERSON WHO'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE!

My life is like an ocean
And I am a ship upon her waters.
Sailing around the world
A sea of endless opportunities.

My destiny awaits me
As I steer to different ports.
Finding the right path has been challenging,
But it also has its rewards.

My journey is unpredictable
No matter which direction I move.
There will be many rough waters,
But for the most part; sails are smooth.

Whenever I am out at sea
Or visiting the different ports;
There is always one thing I can depend on,
That gives me comfort and support.

One that stands tall and proud,
And that keeps an eye out for me.
She is brave and she is wise.
One that is trusted very much indeed.

She is bright and she is strong.
The toughest wave could not knock her down.
She is sharp and she is beautiful,
And she is highly respected; without a doubt.

She is you, Mother.
You are my lighthouse.
Your heart shines with love,
And your guidance has helped me throughout life.

Thank you for shinning so bright;
Keeping your light on and never letting me down.
Even though we've had some tough challenges,
Thank you for standing strong with love.

Dedicated to my mother!!!!

Random writing....

Hey, just writing something so i could get this 2nd blog finished. My main focus is finishing essay #2. These couple of weeks so far been hectic for me because i have little time on my hands to get any school work done, on top of that taking care of my ill mother in which I dearly love, working and getting some gym time. Yet, I still manage everyday to get everything accomplished. Even though this essay on "evaluation argument" seems like a lot of work I kinda like it. For example, I got to pick a subject that was interesting to me and always wanted to know more about, but i just never had the time in tell now. Hopefully my essay will turn out great!!!!! Wish me good luck and i wish everyone else who's doing this assignment good luck as well!!!!

regarding essay 2

This essay is so much easier from the last essay we had to do. My research subject is going to be on Needle Exchange Programs, I feel this is an interesting topic because a lot of people have their different perspectives on this issue. Some say that these programs give mix interpretations to drug users, encourages more drug use, goes against the gov'ts drug policies and do little or nothing in decreasing the spread of AIDS. However, evidence proves that these programs do decrease the spread of AIDS and other harmful diseases such as HEP C virus by exchanging their used needles for new sterile ones. They supply them with bleach to sanitize their equipments and hand out condoms along with giving them pamphlets regarding the harm of getting STDs. In addition, these programs allow drug users the opportunity to seek treatment which would change their life and most importantly preserve lives. Subsequently, I am a supporter of these programs because it does so much to help individuals who are in desperate need of it. One ought to ask him or herself this question: Is thinking that these programs give mix interpretations more important than saving a life?
