Courage, Brave Heart

     Everyone makes mistakes and most people that make mistakes try to later justify their mistakes until they realize the foolishness they've played. Such is life, I guess. In order to be a well-rounded person you must make mistakes. This is not news to any of you though. I have been plopped into a mistake hazard. Yes, I have been immersed in "foolery", I could've done much better if I had applied myself more. But alas, the past is done.
           My future is going to hold great things, hopefully. I hope to become a journalist someday for some big newspaper, like the Chicago Tribune or the Seattle Times. I could move there and work for a while doing that job while I'm finishing my MFA degree in English/TESOL. Its really far in the future but I think with my new intuition of getting my grades back up to a 3.5 or 4.0 I might be accepted into a nice school in the West or Midwest. Loyola would be very nice. I dream that someday I would be appreciated as an ESL teacher.
When I first started looking at colleges I should have had more courage in myself. So, as Oscar Wilde once said, "Shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land among the stars."

Lovely

Lovely. Lovely. paint the skies.

Lovely. Lovely. please dry your eyes.

It cannot be hard to live like you do

Waiting. Waiting.

For you.

Lovely. Lovely.

My heart I’ve kept clean.

Lovely. Lovely.

You visit my dream.

Maybe you’re writing a love song to me.

Maybe you study romantic poetry.

Well I know we’ll be best friends you and me.

You might prefer the city as I know you do.

But not to shop. For writing to do.

You and I will stroll arm in arm

admiring the shop’s and the city’s charm.

Then return at the fold of the day

You and I.

And study Milton and Yeats.

You'll comfort me when I cry.

We could talk in different languages

And talk about whatever we want

You and I could be ourselves

and be one within the same.

You and I will be joined in one name.
