Dear Aaron Burr
History’s eyes once saw you in a harsh light.
The nation lashed at you with disparaging remarks.
I imagine their detestment and despicery.
Granted, you killed a Founding Father,
But there are two sides to every story.
With Hamilton having his told,
Subsequently,
Yours was spoken of as well.
We forgive you, Aaron Burr;
Or, at least I do.
You were a man who succumbed to human error.
You were a man who fell to ethical misfortune.
However, let’s remember, Burr: you weren’t the only one.
Hamilton had his flaws.
Your mistake was agreeing to a duel,
Yet envy seems to be the worst of the two.
The devil enjoys toying with the weak of heart.
Jealousy devoured your soul as you witnessed Hamilton reach a social zenith.
That man taunted and enraged you; he behaved like a child.
However, he was a cunning manchild who was as petty as he was intelligent.
He was determined to make the world demonize you, just out of spite.
It is that historical low-blow that makes me g

Why?
Why would you stay with Alexander?
He was a penniless war veteran; and, although good with a pen,
He brought shame and dishonor to your family!
He was the reason your eldest son died.
Yet…
Yet you stayed by his side.
You were devoted to his cause.
You braced against his wrongdoings!
You forgave him for his greatest sin.
It is that which is most baffling: your forgiveness,
Despite everything he did.
He helped found our great nation,
But that wasn’t what sealed his legacy.
You are what secured his legacy.
Even after everything, you chose to mold it.
Without you, no one would know his story.
The two of you will be motivation for generations.

Motivation
Motivation
Arguments pass by, and time and time again,
my lack of motivation is hissed.
"You have no motivation to do a god damn thing!"
Now, for you,
this is an excuse to treat me
as though I am a child.
In doing this,
you NEVER investigate WHY I feel this way.
"If you want to be an adult, then you need
to sit me down and we'll talk."
. . . I've tried, and with every attempt, you brush me off.
Why?
You consider me a child,
thus assuming that I have nothing worthwhile to say.
I can never win.
I knew this before,
but didn't realize
how severe the loss would be.
I'm trapped.
Even at eighteen, I will not be free.
I will be stuck.
If I know that I will never be free,

Freedom
It has long since been tossed to the wind.
I know this now, and I won't forget it.
She will control and manipulate me
until she dies; or something far more morbid occurs.
I know why Angelou's caged bird sang.
It clearly saw what awaited it outside the cold bars
of oppression and hatred.
Freedom.
My caged bird cries for independence,
but the avian keeper intends to clip my flying feathers.
They're badly injured, but should recover with help from
Self-reliance
Boldness

It is these that the keeper despises.
The keeper is obsessed with her little birds.

Woe: A Writer's Friend
Woe: A Writer's Friend
From Poe to Fitzgerald to myself,
we all seem to have one thing in common;
though, unfortunately, 'tis not our success.
No; what we share is far deeper.
The fact of the matter is this:
we share woe.
Woe, how so?
Well, just think:
Poe used his insanity and anguish as a muse,
Fitzgerald used fiction to tell of his life's greatest demise,
and I use woe to string words with emotions.
In a sense, we are all alike as writers:
using life's unfortunate mishaps to better our souls.

Came dazzling lies, and much more.
Hearts, indeed, they tore.
Deception, indeed;
Though, there’s wasn’t any need to,
For everyone knew.
Indubitably,
Jubilantly, he loved her;
That so much was sure.
Though, within her mind,
Love was a different kind;
‘Twas formed yet deformed.
Made one oh so sick;
Materialistic love
From her perch above.
It was the era,
The days of ephemera:
To tool and to fool.

Southern Gentleman
Southern Gentleman
That is what he is: my Southern Gentleman.
I sense it deep within me;
he'll treat me right.
So far, he already has.
When late, he showers me
in plenty of kisses and begs forgiveness.
Well, not beg exactly, but gives a
sincere, heartfelt apology.
He looks out for my needs;
if he has given enough kisses,
or is holding me too tight.
He actually cares for my feelings;
he doesn't mind affection.
Best of all, he gives respect.
He doesn't act like other boys nowadays,
who only want a woman's body.
No, that's not my Southern Gentleman.
I told him that's not what I'm there for,
and he highly respects my wishes.
It's magical, really.
Never would I expect to come across such a man.
But, he is mine, and no one else's.

The feelings have returned,
and,
unlike the ones before,
I do not dread them.
No; this time they're welcomed.
It's been a while since
I accepted these emotions,
these sensations. They're back.
Again.
It tingles and makes my chest swell.
One could say my heart skips a beat,
and I'd simply agree.
These feelings make me giddy;
almost like walking on air.
Am I frightened; do I fear heartbreak?
Honestly, it doesn't cross my mind;
this comes from the girl who's kept
herself protected constantly.
He might be the one...
Again, after so long, I might actually be /swooning/.
To me, myself, and I, this seemed almost impossible;
not after the second one.
Not after being tossed to garbage;
to be considered nothing oh too quickly...
No, I am almost certain, it has happened again.
How do I know for sure?

As the bell rang, and students cheered,
I just sat at my desk.
Something felt different,
and I didn't know why.
I knew that school was over, but
I didn't really want to leave,
nor did I want to stay.
Imprisoned freedom, most likely so;
it perplexes me.
I felt a relief for freedom,
yet still feel encased.
Why?
More importantly:
why do I have the sense
that I will die?

Dear Aaron Burr
History’s eyes once saw you in a harsh light.
The nation lashed at you with disparaging remarks.
I imagine their detestment and despicery.
Granted, you killed a Founding Father,
But there are two sides to every story.
With Hamilton having his told,
Subsequently,
Yours was spoken of as well.
We forgive you, Aaron Burr;
Or, at least I do.
You were a man who succumbed to human error.
You were a man who fell to ethical misfortune.
However, let’s remember, Burr: you weren’t the only one.
Hamilton had his flaws.
Your mistake was agreeing to a duel,
Yet envy seems to be the worst of the two.
The devil enjoys toying with the weak of heart.
Jealousy devoured your soul as you witnessed Hamilton reach a social zenith.
That man taunted and enraged you; he behaved like a child.
However, he was a cunning manchild who was as petty as he was intelligent.
He was determined to make the world demonize you, just out of spite.
It is that historical low-blow that makes me give you compassion.
Hamilton stole the light from your vice presidency and made it cast an ominous shadow;
Made sure that you were seen as a villain, despite your honorable role.
Do you think Theodosia would have been proud of your choices?
Do you think she would have supported your greed?
She was ten years your senior but loved you anyway.
Perhaps it was your passion that caused her adoration?
Though, it was this passion that seems to have turned against you.
I don’t think Theodosia would have been proud of the man you became.
You might have been vice president at the turn of the eighteenth century,
But your legacy molded itself around your deploration of Alexander Hamilton.

Why?
Why would you stay with Alexander?
He was a penniless war veteran; and, although good with a pen,
He brought shame and dishonor to your family!
He was the reason your eldest son died.
Yet…
Yet you stayed by his side.
You were devoted to his cause.
You braced against his wrongdoings!
You forgave him for his greatest sin.
It is that which is most baffling: your forgiveness,
Despite everything he did.
He helped found our great nation,
But that wasn’t what sealed his legacy.
You are what secured his legacy.
Even after everything, you chose to mold it.
Without you, no one would know his story.
The two of you will be motivation for generations.

My grandmother is currently in a rehab facility/nursing home. She's lost what little sanity she had remaining. It's a pitiful sight, really. This hospital visit was different from the others. I don't think she'll make it home from rehab. If she does, it will either be:
A) very messy
or
B) short lived
Either way, once she's home (if she makes it home) it will not be well. Things will go bad. i can feel it in my gut.
Now, I bet one of you is going to be thinking "Gosh diddling why the heck are you being so pessimistic??"
Well, here's your answer: I am emotionally preparing myself for the worst. If I don't, then my household will simply crumble. I will end up becoming the emotional backbone if, and when, my grandmother dies.
Now, another thing people might be asking is "How do you know she is going to die?"
It, albeit strange, is simple. My grandfather will be dead for five years this year. My grandmother was about the same age now as he was back then. Like all those years ago, he was at rehab during this time, and wouldn't get out until towards the end of February. He was at home for a few weeks, we left on a cruise for ten days, and he died that very night.
Although I know we won't be going on a cruise, I can say this: the moment she is left all by herself for a couple of minutes, she is going to die. And she will die on or near the same day as his death.
Some people might tell me this is all ludicrous and that I need to go to bed. Alas, I'm 'fraid not.
My grandfather is cursed by the number five. It's going to come back and bite us in the ass. I just know it...
