A step before one,
Behind another
---------------------
There's nowhere to go
And nowhere to breathe
-----------------
So I stopped breathing
Now I'm dead in side
-----------------
Resenting regret
Such a waste of time
----------------
Patience, a virtue
Forsaken by all
----------------
A world that's moving
Faster and faster
----------------
Where are they going?
Why are they rushing?
-------------
To smell the roses
Is to ask for death
-----------
Isn't death certain?
Why are you racing?
-------------
Why not surprise them?
Join me in Living
-------------
For I do not like
Smelling the roses
--------------
Alone

I’m alone
When I’m here
Your disappear

Your wrong If you believe
I’ll turn out
The way you me too
I don’t want to be just like you

Every step I take
A step closer to you
Is a mistake
I won’t make

I told you to go
You told me to get
I’m gone, do you miss me so?
I haven’t missed you yet

Would you read a book of a girls life that has been through alot of struggles at a young age..and then after finishing her life-story ..gives tips on how she got through her stuggles so that if you are going through something similar or know someone who is..you can conect with the situation and take the tips from the book to see if those tips can help you out.

its my friend's idea..but she doesnt know if people would want to read something like that.
(based on a real-life-story by the way)

Langston Hughes'
Mother to Son

In this poem, Hughes writes about a mother speaking to her son about life's experiences. He uses the metaphor of a crystal stair.
_______________________________________________
_______

Well, son, I'll tell you:
Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.
It's had tacks in it,
And splinters,
And boards torn up,
And places with no carpet on the floor --
Bare.
But all the time
I'se been a-climbin' on,
And reachin' landin's,
And turnin' corners,
And sometimes goin' in the dark
Where there ain't been no light.
So boy, don't you turn back.
Don't you set down on the steps
'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.
Don't you fall now --
For I'se still goin', honey,
I'se still climbin',
And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

I read it in high school, and lately I've been trying to remember what it was. I know there's an ominous tone to it. I think they're in the jungle -- pretty sure they're not in a city. At the end, it's like the end of the world when the stars just start vanishing in the sky.

How many people think that Dumbledore was right in trusting Snape? I for one do think that he was right for trusting him (although he does kill him). If you read the 6th book (Page 405-406 (U.S. edition), Hagid tells Harry that Dumbledore and Snape had a row about something and Dumbledore says that he agreed to do it-which makes me think that Dumbledore knew that he was going to die and why he was arguing with Snape because he knew Malfoy wouldn't be able to do it (and Snape would die for breaking the vow). Let me know what you think!
