Summer Reading is a Joke

I wonder if they actually expect us to do this garbage. My English class wants us to read the book Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli. Don't get me wrong, its a good book a bit sad, but good.

But they expect us to write 25 journal entries about quotes that we find and tear them apart into more than they were actually intended to mean.

It's ridiculous, and now I have a week left of summer break and I haven't even started it. So now I have to re-read Milkweed and disect it till there's nothing left. ugh. woe is me.

oh well. better get started huh??

Awake and Alive ~Skillet

I really like this song so I'd thought I'd share it. Look it up on youtube its really good.

I'm at war with the world
And they try to pull me into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
As I'm slipping from your arms

It's getting harder to stay awake
And my strength is fading fast
You breathe into me at last

I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life

(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive

I'm at war with the world
'Cause I ain't never gonna sell my soul
I've already made up my mind
No matter what, I can't be bought or sold

When my faith is getting weak
And I feel like giving in
You breathe into me again

I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life

(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive

Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up in the dark

I can feel you in my sleep
In your arms, I feel you breathe into me
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
Forever I will live for you

I'm awake, I'm alive
Now I know what I believe inside
Now it's my time
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life

(Here, right now)
Right here, right now
Stand my ground and never back down
I know what I believe inside
I'm awake, and I'm alive

Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up

Docks

Where the water was still like glass
Sitting here watching light dance off the lake
Our jeans rolled up to our knees
Toes dipped in the water rippling the surface
Two friends sharing secrets
Telling stories
Laughing together
Under the purple sky
Sitting on your dock
Our jeans rolled up to our knees
Toes dipped in the water rippling the surface
Friendships are strengthened during a sunset
On a dock
On a lake
Sitting there watching light dance off the lake
Where the water rippled around us

I spent the day with a friend of mine on her dock and I felt inspired.

Piece of Peace

I'm drifting in the water
Losing myself in the calm
Losing myself in the quiet

The world is calm
The world is quiet

I know that when I leave
it will all rush back
the sound will rush through

but when I'm here
It grows quiet
I float
the world grows clam

I'm happy
here in my little piece of peace

I was feeling creative and inspired so I thought I'd start another blog.
This is a place were I will talk about my life as a teenage writer in hopes that it will make a little sence afterwards, as well as whatever strickes my fancy.
