The Pelican and the Seal

I saw a pelican and a seal kissing
in the blue, blue sea.
I felt the glory of the Father
growing inside me.
If God can give a child
such a beautiful mind,
What gifts from Him inside my head
will I live to find?

Slap in the face

“You know, I could never marry you,” he said.
“Why not?” she asked.
“Because… it’d be like marrying myself, and where’s the fun in that?  We’re too much alike,” he told her.
“But I thought that’s what you wanted, someone who can catch your drift,” she said sadly.

“No, no… it isn’t that.  You just aren’t very noticeable, I’m afraid.  You’re just not that pretty.”
“Oh… okay..”

Here’s to all you underappreciated people like me who care for friends that have no idea how amazing you really are.  The world may say you aren’t good enough for it, but the truth is that the world isn’t good enough for you. 

I go uninspired…

I want to write poetry or lyrics..or… something. I haven’t written anything artistic in months and months, and my journal is lonely. I have walked the hills of UT utterly uninspired, day in and day out. College is important for my future, but there is assuredly no joy to be found in the experience. At least, that’s how it is for me. I guess since I don’t want to drink, smoke pot, or make bad grades, that means I am uninvited to all parties, and I must stay home. But I’ll be the one laughing when all my friends flunk out because they (and by they, I mean the opera theatre students) drink constantly and wake up in each other’s beds every other weekend. They’re all alcoholic whores, and they probably won’t make it as opera performers anyway. GSHNNHFLDJNDMLFJMSFONJHSHNSPNHSPNHSHANEHSP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I’m done. I just had to get that off my chest. lol I do plan on writing crap tonight, though. Be happy for meh! I am a poet once again!
