A Me Poem. by craftytexangirl, literature

Literature

A Me Poem.

I cut off all my hair and I regretted it the second the woman snipped her scissors. This hair had served me well, you know Dealing with dye since the last time I actually grew a fraction of an inch. Keeping my neck warm in the withering winters of Connecticut for so many years It didn't object each time I tried to hippify my life, with each new shampoo and conditioning combo. It never qualmed about the constant ponytails in summer, leaving the wacky, unnatural waves halfway down - or worse, each time I tried to hipsterfy my life, with fancy updos and more bobby pins than I knew what to do with. When necessary, my hair would hide me from t

write poetry.

everyone should write. you might be reluctant the fear that you might fail we’ve all felt that before. with poetry though … there is no rubric there are no rules you’re not after one sound you’re not necessarily after one rhyme no, a poem’s success is measured by just two things. they are: did you say what you wanted to say? did you deliver it the way you wanted to? robert frost wanted to contemplate nature and life walt whitman wrote what he saw taylor mali vocalizes lifetime observances sarah kay speaks lessons in stories william shakespeare painted pictures of passions we still hardly know what about emily

Choices to make.

You're going to college! Congratulations! One way or another you're pursuing education as an adult and you're taking control of your life. The problem is, freedom is a double-edged sword. You have a boy who you love. Your interests align just right. Four years is nothing to turn your nose up to. It could have been so easy. But the thing is ... You've moved throughout your whole life. Amazingly, you've managed to finish one portion of school in one place (of course it had to be your least favorite) And now after a last-minute effort from your homesick mother you burst out two essays on deadline day now, six years after you left you

Unstable Solidarity by craftytexangirl, literature

Literature

Unstable Solidarity

Bristol is not my hometown, but it is the hometown of my high school. I have lived in a dozen other cities in at least as many houses, and Bristol, CT is similar to none of them. If you talk to me anywhere but here, I'll tell you that it's terrible. I hate it and cannot wait to go somewhere I feel more at home. But Bristol is, in one sense, (academically, that is) where I've lasted the longest. Eight years in Texas put me in four different schools. Bristol Central, for all its pros and cons, for the bathrooms nobody trusts, for the various teachers (some terrible, some wonderful), and for the many cliques I've met I have to sa

Mental illnesses by craftytexangirl, literature

Literature

Mental illnesses

"You don't matter." "You don't really hurt." "Get over it already." "You're just attention-seeking." To the world, we are invisible because they can't see or feel what we see and feel. They push away the unknown, while we cling to the only thing we've ever known. We have no choice. You hang on, biting, gripping, kicking, seething with pain and rage or you are ejected from the game of life. You are NOT alone. There IS another path. You hate dealing, you hate hurting, you hate burning inside but you do it. We can scream and shout and paint the world together and eventually, they will hear, they will see. "It's all in your head."

Love is an enigma. by craftytexangirl, literature

Literature

Love is an enigma.

Love is an enigma. You probably already figure that. Feelings and values, discipline, feelings are a tsunami to everything you have ever learned. Hormones are as fickle as they make you. One needs not lust to yearn to help another soul. Can altruistic greed exist? I want to help, to hold, to nurture. To be needed. Existing together in independent harmony is beautiful. Temptation is an ugly beast, but it is for nothing incriminating. I feel a magnetic attraction to those who, so often overlooked, desperately need emotional support. For now I can only observe and care as much as I am allowed. I take solace only in knowing that, o
