Jealousy

Litany
by Billy Collins

"There is no way you are the pine scented air"

I think its just so funny that he takes starts his inspiration from something that's supposed to be serious, after all it is a love poem, and turns it into something funny. I just love how he can take from other people but still make it his own. Like when he starts adding the "you are not..." in there. And the way he finishes it just adds so much

"But don't worry I am not the bread and the knife you are still the bread and the knife. You will always be the bread and the knife not to mention the crystal goblet and somehow the wine"

I wish I could be like Billy Collins and get inspiration from someone else
but make it completely my own and make it just unforgettable.

This one's for you

You’re not alone.
This is for all the people who’ve had they’re heart break. For the children who’ve had their mother die. For the single parents struggling to make a living for their family.

You’re not alone.

This is for the people that think life is hard. This is for those who are afraid of heights. For the dreamers whose dreams aren’t coming true. For the boys who have jobs to support their mother and siblings.

You’re not alone.

This is for the women unable to have children. For the kids who always get picked last for everything. For the smart kids who are bad test takers.

You’re not alone.

And every time you look to the sky and ask “why me?” you must remember that you’re not the only one, but one of many. Someone somewhere is out there hurting the same way you are and just like you is looking to the sky and asking “Why me?”

So I say again for the kids dealing with abuse. For the families who’ve lost their homes. For the kids eating alone at lunch wishing they could have just one friend. For the girls who think they’re ugly. For the kids that go hungry because their parents have an addiction to drugs. For the Husbands who watch their wife die after giving birth to their first child. For the widows. For all the people going through or have had bad times in their lives.

You are not alone.

Ghandi

I keep telling myself tomorrow I'll break free.
But each time tomorrow comes I'm still trapped.
Because I keep forgetting that there's no way out.
Society has finally gained the ultimate control and there's nothing we can do about it.
They tell us we can still do as we please. That our destiny and what we become is all up to us.
But I keep forgetting that its not true.
I don't get to decide anything except which of the few options they've
placed in front of me to choose from.
We're all trapped in our individual bubbles created by society that won't let us decide for ourselves.
I see people suffocating. Just wanting to be free like me. Just wanting to have a say in their life.
And asking when will we own ourselves completely?
We won't........until someone breaks free.
So that's why each day I tell myself that tomorrow I'll be the one to break free.
To give myself hope that there's still a chance
I can be what I've always wanted to be.
And for a moment I believe it.
But I keep forgetting.......
There's no way out.

Kidnapped

I don’t speak.
They shine the light into my eyes.
I can feel the ropes cutting into my skin.
They slap me across the face then begin to yell once more.
As if I know what they are saying. As if I care at this point.
Can’t they see I’m frightened enough?
They become frustrated and leave, the light goes with them.
I’m alone yet again in the freezing cold darkness.
Bound by ropes to the chair I’m forever doomed to sit in.
I try to think of home, try to believe somebody is looking for me.
But it becomes too hard. I’ve tried for too long. My hope is beginning to leave me.
I start to forget things I’ve tried so hard to cling to, to keep me sane.
Like the stories my dad always told me.
My sisters laugh.
The sound of rain.
I try not to cry for I have nothing to wipe my tears from my face but I can’t help it.
I begin to shiver as I feel the blood from the fresh cut on my face trickle down my skin.
My hope is leaving me and taking everything else with it, leaving me alone in the dark.
I hear the door open and see them coming back into the room.
I don’t shake with fear just cry silent tears.
I can see the anger in their eyes. Their patience all gone.
I close my eyes. And think of home.

Death isn't always easy

People are all around me.
But I can't hear them, I barely know they're there.
All I can see is the big brown casket at the front of the room.

I can sense people coming to me, giving me kind words and hugs of comfort.
But I don't move. I don't say anything. I just stare. Stare at that casket.
My emotions have left me and I feel the painful
emptiness they left behind.

It is now my turn to speak.

As I get up to the microphone, I stare silently into the crowd of people.
I look down and see that brown box that now holds my sister.
My mind suddenly blinds me with the memory, making me relive that moment once again.

I feel myself waking up from being unconcious
As I look to my left I call my sisters name asking if she's ok.
But she's motionless.
I call her name again and try to shake her but I barely have the strength to lift my arm.
I now see blood coming from her head and her body still isn't moving.

Energy rushes in me as I scream her name, tears pouring down my face,
telling her to wake up, not wanting it to be true.
I'm still screaming her name when I feel stong hands pull me from the car.
They pull me farther and farther away, Until the world goes black.

I'm suddenly back in reality. With a brown casket in front of me
and people waiting for me to speak.
My emotions rush into me. Tears pour down my face.
I bow my head and whisper only 5 words.
"It should have been me"

I find myself walking alone

I find myself walking in a dark tight tunnel.
I can't see any light. All I can hear are my footsteps.
I try to run, try to get out of this place.
It feels like its getting tighter every second trying
to squeeze all the air from my lungs.

I walk alone.

After what seems like forever I see light.
I run for it.
When I first arrive I am blinded, this light is so bright.
When my eyes adjust, i find myself looking at something I've been
trying to hide trying to stay away from.
But I'm here and I can't go back.

I see people, too many people, staring at me their eyes empty
yet they still have a disappointed look to them.
They don't move,they just stare, stare at me.
I try to avoid them pretend they're not there but there's no where too look.
No where to run.

I try speaking to them, the silence driving me mad.
But they won't speak. They only stare.
I try running from them, try getting away.
But as I go farther I see only more people.
only now they're holding letters never written, lists never finished, stories never told, books never been opened and worst of all words never spoken.

I collapse to the ground. Its too much.
Fear and anger are filling up inside me.
As if they're eating me from inside.

I try to call for help. From anyone, anything.
But then I remember.

I walk alone.

Remembering 9/11

I hope you take the time to remember all the innocent people who died this day, all the heros that came to be.I hope you take time to remember and promise to never forget this day and never take your family for granted.
I will never forget this day I hope you never forget it either.

I'm still thinking about you

I've been trying to get you off my mind ever since you walked out that door but I keep thinking about you.I'm thinking about you like socks think about shoes.
And like birds think about flying, and how babies think about crying,
like old people think about dying.

I'm thinking about you like the sun thinks about the moon, like lollipops think about tongues. Or even how the dish thought about the spoon.
I keep thinking about you like pencils think about paper, like lightning thinks about thunder,
like pigs think about bacon.

I'm thinking about you like dogs think about Frisbees,
how nails think about hammers, and how sunglasses think about the sun.
I try but I'm still thinking about you like worms think about dirt, like pepperoni thinks about pizza, and how mice think about cheese.
I'm thinking about you like marshmallows think about s'mores like the moon thinks about the stars. Like hats think about heads. Like rings....think about fingers.

And I'm still thinking about you even after you shut that door.
I'm thinking about you.
And I wish you'd come back.

A little something called love

Love is a newspaper you read all about it
Love is a pineapple
Love is a waterfall
Love is a lightning storm
Love is a clock
Love is a suprise party you never know when it will happen
Love is an ice cold lake
Love is hot fudge
Love is a chorus of frogs
Love is a knife

Introduction

Hello world my name is Rhonda McGillicuddy. Why did I choose this name you may ask? Because every time I read it, it just makes me laugh inside and its just fun to say. And I'm the kind of person who just loves to laugh. Am I a creative person? No not really, that's why I'm in the class silly to hopefully learn how to be more creative. If you don't like my writing or think I'm the worst writer in existence (which I'm really hoping you won't think that). I hope my name at least makes you happy inside. Well, until next time. Over and out.
