Songs I Wrote

Here are 2 songs that I have written lyrics too. Not that amazing, but still. Leave feedback? Keep in mind that these are at least a year old...I need to try to find my other lyric book...

The Get Away

If you're feeling down and low,
And you don't know where to go,
Just pause and think a moment;
Just run away to the get away.

Where the sun is always shining,
And the stars they are so bright!
And the weather, it is just right.
Just run away to the get away.

You can take a walk on the beach,
Or swim near the waterfall,
Or go to the meadow to sing.
Just run away to the get away.

If you could take everything you own,
And the friends that you love,
And leave behind all your fears;
Would you run away to the get away?

If you could leave behind all the stress,
And leave your duties to the rest,
And become the very best;
Would you run away to the get away?

As the years go by,
You wouldn't age a bit,
And continue to be beautiful.
Just run away, to the get away.

You can do anything you want,
Whenever you desire.
Anything, Anything, Anything.
Just run away, to the get away.

Everyone needs their own,
Some may have found it,
But the rest is still unknown.
So take this advice;
Go run away,
And go find,
Your own get away.

Not the greatest song, I guess. Haha. Here's the other....

Untitled

From the first day I saw you,
I knew we'd be friends,
Friends 'til the end.
I knew I could come to you,
Whenever I felt I needed to,
And I know you felt the same way too.

But things change like the seasons;
So beautiful and bursting with new life,
So Bright and beaming, in the glorious sunlight.
And so vibrant and colorful,
And yet so dark and cold.

As the years went by,
We were always at each others side,
Trying to make it past this awful ride called life.
The faces you thought you could trust,
Are now the ones you loath.
All these lies in my face,
Don't know how I can make it.
Then i would come to you,
And you'd help me through.

That's what friends do,
They should try to help you.
They can never be anything more,
NO matter how wide you open the door.
It always will get slammed shut.

But the day I opened that door for you,
I watched as I saw you walk through.
And every day, and every night,
It always plays through my mind,
We tell ourselves,
"We all make mistakes"
But I tell myself,
"I've made the biggest mistake that anyone could ever make."
And as I lay here,
I try to think of how to say,
"I'm sorry."
I'm sorry...I'm sorry...
Will you ever forgive me?

And that's it...I guess. Haha.

Newspaper Article

We got assigned in English to write an article for the school paper. I chose the topic about how we have to pay ten dollars in order to talk to a counselor, and how unfair it is. Long story short, I did some research, and it's breaking student rights, which is breaking the law. So basically if it gets published, and the administrators read it...I'm in trouble, most likely. Freedom of speech though, right? And this doesn't have as much potential as it could have...It had to be a minimum of 250 words and a maximum of 300 words. I had 276.

Students Feel Robbed
By Kevin D****
Have you ever needed your class schedule changed? If so, mosey on down to the Counseling Center, fill out a class change form, deposit ten dollars into the business office, then wave goodbye to your ten dollars as your request gets rejected. This is how the students at BHS are feeling cheated out of their money.

Kaitlyn S******, an aspiring student at BHS comments on this issue. "After I paid the ten dollars, and consulted my counselor, they found out that my schedule couldn't work the way I wanted it to. I didn't even get my money back at all! They could have checked in 2 minutes to see if it could work out, before I wasted my money!"

Most people feel that this is wrong; few students KNOW that this is wrong. Some students need to switch out of a class, due to problems with a teacher. They have to fill out the same, silly paperwork, as well as depositing ten dollars. Clearly though, this violates their Student Rights. A student has a right to speak to their counselor for any problems that they may have; be it emotional, mental, family, etc. Having tension between a student and a teacher is a sort of emotional and mental problem, thus giving students the right to speak to a counselor immediately, and at no charge.

So why do they charge, they probably have a perfect knowledge of what they are doing. Why do they reject people the opportunity to change a class, even if they have already paid the ten dollars? Our cozy, quaint little school isn't what it seems to be.

And there you have it. It's violating the rights that we have as students, which can be found online. :)

Secretly, part of me is hoping they notice it and confront me about it...

Well, it's that time...The time that happens once in a blue moon...A time when I am extremely sad and full of anxiety...Mostly anxiety.

Long story short, my mom is an evil genius...She found out about me driving the kid to and from school. Our plan was going to go in effect tomorrow, too...Where his mom would call my mom and try to work something out since I 'haven't taken him to school in a week'. I love how my mom found out on the last day before the plan...

So I got home from work, she yelled at me, and I had one of my breakdowns that happen every once in a while...One of the ones where one big thing triggers several tiny things that make me anxious about everything and stressed out. I've been bawling my head off for about the past two hours. It's been great fun...

Sometimes though...I swear...I swear my mom can't get away with the things that she has said to me...It just isn't right...
