A Mothers Stress!!!

I feel like I’m losing my mind
So much to do so little time

A mountain of laundry and papers and bills
I feel like Im walking up an impossible hill

When did things get so out of control
Lately life has been taking its toll

Im losing my touch with what used to be a breeze
Even the mountains were once mastered with ease

Everything suffers
There’s just too much to do!
When I get something done
10 more messes accrue

Should be interesting on how some of you interpret these writings.

Untitled

As we creep into darkness, we’re unable to run
For all light has faded along with the sun

Deeper we crawl, until we can no longer take
The heart’s incessant spasms and ache

Our senses are rendered useless, we are on our own
And we tremble at the thought of being alone

Our bodies are frozen, instilled with recurring fear
We try to cry out, but we can’t shed a tear

Our lungs become polluted, we are no longer breathing
But we feel no pain having lost all feeling

Reffering to denial, pointing the blame
And so our vision is denied by shadows and shame

Our eyes are blindfolded, we aren’t able to see
What exactly we have traded for our humanity

A Select Few

Most people are only a brush against your shoulder
As you walk along life’s winding path
Some pass closer than others, some more quickly
But all passing nonetheless
There are those with which you collide, contorting your bearing
And as you reel from the impact you spin to see them waning
Into the haze, the perpetual draft of time, the fray
Often leaving you bewildered, but for only a moment
Because you must, as swiftly as you turned, continue on your way
Life will not stand dormant.
But to a select few, you must frantically reach out and grasp
Cling to them as though you are dangling upon the face of a cliff
Slowly losing grip above eternity’s hypnotic rasp
You essentially are.
For your destination is not far o’er the horizon
As most journeys upon foot prove true
And, so, I confess too you, Abigail…
For me, one of those people…is you.

Joe Turner’s Come and Gone: rough draft
In Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, August Wilson teaches us many things. One of them is to know who you are. Wilson created many characters that are searching for their identity, whether it’s societal, familial, or personal. In August Wilson’s Joe Turner’s Come and Gone he uses identity to show that people need to find out who they are.

Free blacks come to the city to make lives for themselves. They want to make money and raise families without prejudice. But more than that, they are searching for an identity beyond their ancestors being slaves.

This book/play takes place in Pittsburg, Virginia in the year 1911. Slavery is illegal at this time, but a man named Joe Turner captures blacks and enslaves them for many years. The blacks tend to lose their identity once released from Joe Turner’s chain gang. Other characters in this book/play may be younger so they still have time to create a distinct identity for themselves.

"Sympathy"

I live inside a shell
Protecting ymself
From being hurt
But I made a mistake and let you in

I want to be the one
I want to be with you
I want it to be just us two
I'm jealous of her

Before she came
I didn't think
I'd want you more then a friend
And now I know how you feel isn't the same

I thought I was special
But I guess I'm not
I thought you knew it too
At least I thought

But now that my heart is shattered
Theres nothing you can do or say
To fix whats been done
I wish it didn't hve to be this way

It was us, it was her
I need to cry
Because of you
I want to die...
But I don't need your sympathy

I am going to be writting a essay on Poetry analysis of the poem "Passion" by Zora Neale Huston. I would like anyone's input of the theme, meaning (author's point), and poetry elements of the following poem:
When I look back/ On days already lived/ I am content./
For I have laughed/ with the dew of the morn,/ The calm of night;/ With the dawn of youth/ And spring's bright days./
Mid-summer's bloom/ And autumn's ripening glory/ My youth is rejoiced/
And when winter bleak/ Spread melancholy 'round/ I still smiled on./ And I have loved/ With quivering arms that/ Clung, and throbbing breast--/ With all the white-hot blood/ Of mating's flaming urge./
My cool, white soul/ Has oft fared forth/ In Astral ways,/ For non may lag/ When star dust hides the earth./
The wings of dreams/ Have swept me up/ To touch my feet on the cloud/ And wander where non/ But souls dare climb.
Thank you extra with a cherry on top. :)

My story is about two girls, Catherine and Adrienne, who have been best friends forever! Adrienne had died a few years before the book begins, and she slowly begins to spiral into depression, but catherine and Ade's bf Brad are there ... in the end she overdoses, but she doesnt die and turns her life around.. any good ideas? email me if you want a exerpt from the story... heres a small one: Ever since Adrienne’s dad died six years ago, her mom has fallen deeper and deeper into depression. She spends most of her time locked in her room. I don’t like going to Adrienne’s house, because it’s so sad. It lingers with death and misery. Sometimes, Ms. Miles will just start sobbing uncontrollably. It echoes all throughout the huge, empty home. Adrienne somehow felt that her mother’s condition was her fault and so her way of getting back was to cut off all of her beautiful, blonde hair, dye it black, and mar her body with piercings and tattoos. But it sort of suits her. She was always the rebel.

I'm not sure if that was the precise title, but it was in a collection of children's fairy tales I had when I was a child. The stories were wonderful and also included one about a ghost ship, and one about a pastry maker who made cakes for a dragon. If any of this rings bells, could you tell me the correct title of the story or even better, of the collection it came in? I would be very grateful. Thanks.

My vote would be Sandra Bullock because she is funny and good at physical comedy.
