Petals flutter to the ground
He loves me, he loves me not
Alighting on the earth without a sound
He loves me, he loves me not
The stem is plain, the eye is bare
He loves me, he loves me not
The wish he could do naught but care
She loves me not, she loves me
Pacing round and round the room
She loves me not, she loves me
Waiting for dawn to be there soon
She loves me not, she loves me
He sees her out the window bright
She loves me not, she loves me
He can't wait to set things right
Social NetworkingWhat is it about social networking sites that make me feel like I'm back in high school again, fighting for popularity? Every day, I go and check up on updates and find out what almost every single one of my 'friends' has done that day. I see pictures from nights out and family gatherings and I see quizzes telling me how many friends, in a specific order, leave them comments or wall posts. After sitting down for a while and thinking about it, I realized that it is just like a few years ago when I was in high school. I spent my days fighting to keep from being the anti-social chick and showing everyone that I wasn't afraid to be me. But I wasMore Like This

for the world that's falling apart.
The violence and the terrible ways,
I wish people would have heart.
The people of the world today,
It's obvious they just don't care.
The worlds too busy thinking of themselves,
They're really not aware!
The world is going very fast,
Please hear the words I say.
With a prayer, and some love, and little luck…
We might shape up someday.
I have a message to the world
The only answer I see
The way to keep our world alive,
Is to think more of WE …..than ME!

leaving behind specks of light
i dance the dance of the shadow
the inverse of the light
but not
the dance is not the light
it is not the dark
the dance is change
the play between both and the third
the third is that which is not seen
the unknown factor to the equation
i am the unknown
i am more then a shadow
but alas the rest of me is out of reach
and yet i am only a shadow thickness away
You'll Find YourselfYou're going to find out how to live,More Like This
Find out how to see,
Find out how to love,
And find out how to be.
Learn about yourself,
On the inside and the out.
And, slowly, you'll lose
all your self doubt.
You'll build your muscles,
You'll build you're mind.
For once you'll be ahead,
And stop falling behind.
You'll discover the truth about the things you don't know,
You'll close your eyes to finally see.
You'll open your arms and welcome love in,
You'll finally learn to just let some things be.
You'll take off your mask,
and shine like the sun.
You'll have no place to hide,
and no need to run.
You'll learn that you're heart,

So I TriedSo I tried. I finally tried. All I want is an end. An end to everything. I can't fight any longer. The pain has become far too much for a weak being like me to handle.More Like This
So I tried. The hurtful words and threats from the evil one's mouth stung like poison and ran through my veins, reaching every inch of my body, convincing me to do it. Convincing me I am worthless and deserve to die.
So I tried. The quiver in the voice of the one I love made me want to die even more than before. I couldn't take it. One thought after another told me she'd be better off if I were dead.
So I tried. I gave in. Took the belt from the drawer, running my fingertips
Wild ChildMother always had a plot of land for me.More Like This
I was given a corner of the backyard to dig and plant and rule as I wanted. I explored jungles, befriended giant snakes and monstrous bugs, all the while, battling the overgrown brush, letting in the sun to an undiscovered world. I hunted rabbits and squirrels, spear in tow - any stick I could find - and wailed fierce battle cries as I fought through the untamed forest. I was the farmer, harvesting, or the jaguar, preparing to pounce, or the florist, picking over my immense garden for hours to find the perfect collection of wildflowers and weeds and remnants of discarded seeds to piece together and ma
The Avatar State of LoveThis manuscript was written by the famed Earth Kingdom scholar Wu Lin, a professor in anthropology at the University of Ba Sing Se. It was penned, as she states in the opening, around Republic City's 50th anniversary. Wu Lin traveled the four nations extensively following the end of the Hundred Years War, studying the histories and cultures of each nation. She collected most of the information concerning the Air Nomads in this manuscript by visiting the deserted Southern and Western Air Temples and studying the mosaics and frescos there and, of course, by studying the life of Avatar Aang, the living relic of the Air Nomads.More Like This

Why Most Christians Think Homosexuality is a SinIt's a warm summer evening in ancient Greece...More Like This
No, scratch that. It's mid-May in Rome in the year 390, and you're a Roman emperor about to make one of the biggest mistakes in history: pass a law that would forbid gay marriage under penalty of death by burning at the stake. This document would permanently change the lives of millions of homosexual men and women over 1600 years into the future. From now on, they would be called "sodomites," "unnatural," "abominations," and all other derogatory words associated with homosexuals today.
What was life like before 390? Well for one, no one gave two craps about gay people. Sure some thought they w

Toph's apartment was dark by the time Sokka got there, following a particularly long and dull council session. It wasn't unusual. Toph rarely bothered to turn on the lights after she'd put Lin to bed. Sokka knocked and tried to open the door, only to find it locked. That was odd. Toph hardly ever locked her door when she was home, waving off her friends concern under the notion that no one with half a brain would try to break in on the greatest earthbender in the world. Being the chief of police didn't hurt, either.
Maybe she's already gone to bed, Sokka thought, a little disappointed. He knocked again and called, "Toph?

Lin giggled as Sokka lifted her up into his arms. He couldn't help but laugh himself. Her laugh was so similar to her mother's.
"It's time for you to go to bed," said the Councilman, poking her nose and making her squeal in delight. "So Mommy and I can have some alone time."
"I want to have alone time with you and Mommy!" she insisted innocently.
Sokka chuckled as he opened the little girl's room. "Not tonight, sweethea

Still, there came no answer. Unease settled in his stomach. He went to their room, but she wasn't there. "Where are you, Toph?" he asked, scratching his head. He stepped back into the living room, where Yin was studying a piece of paper. She was oddly quiet. "What's that?"
"It was on the doorstep," she said grimly, holding it out to Sokka. The note was scribbled on a small piece of parchment as if the person who wrote it had been in a hurry.

Although Toph had learned to metalbend and could see on the ship, the rocking motions still made her queasy. She didn't restrain from complaining about it to Sokka, saying she couldn't wait to be off the "floating hunk of metal". She and Sokka lazily hung around in their cabin. Toph molded her meteor bracelet into various shapes, trying to hold onto what little of her element existed on the ship. Sokka hummed to himself as he polished his boomerang.
"So, what's our plan, Plan Guy?" Toph asked, not pausing from her bending.
Sokka reached in his bag and pulled out a beaten map, smoothing his hands over it to flatten it out on the f

Toph held her bangs out of the way as she retched again. This had been occurring for a while now, but she refused to notify anyone of her illness. She was the chief of police, and therefore had a responsibility to put her own needs aside for the sake of the city.
Annoyance burned through her veins when she heard a knock on her door. Ignoring the unease that still resided in her stomach, she made her way to the front of her modest dwelling. When she opened the door, Katara was smiling at her. The waterbending master stroked her protruding abdomen.
"Hey, Toph. Going to the council meeting today?"

"I won't tell you anything, you monster!" She had said those words with utmost confidence, though it only masked the apprehension swirling inside her.
"Very well," replied the man, unfazed by her response.
She had very well known the consequences of saving Tenzin and his family, and therefore the airbending race. Now faced with those consequences, reality struck her with an iron fist.
She had decided to be strong, and to surrender with honor. She focused her eyes on the rain-spattered ground as a shadowy figure leisurely moved behind her. A pain worse than a thousand knife wounds stabbed her chest.

Ahsoka didn't respond she just sat there on a bench. "This is the same bench." Anakin looked a bit confused as she continued. "The same one were we first meet." Anakin walked up and took the seat next to her.
