My computer hasn't been good lately, and I haven't been able to go on the blogs.
New American Classic
This was inspired by the song, "New American Classic", by Taking Back Sunday. I suggest you to listen to it, it's a very well written song. It also has almost nothing to do with the song, so instead of trying to explain my interpretation of the song, and then what my piece here is about, I'll just let you read it and take it however you want. I do use some lyrics from the song itself, I think twice.
Don't waste my time.
I didn't want this.
Nor did you.
So please,
End the pain,
Let it die away,
Waste away.
Untie the knot,
And stop killing me slowly.
Don't stretch it out,
Don't make it more than it is.
Don't agonize this anymore,
Say you won't care.
Please.
I know it's only one thing, but I'm still changing "Reach For Glory", and such, so bear with me for now.
I'm going to be uploading my own little things in groups, so I don't have a million small posts.
Life Redux
Life is a poem that I did far back, last year, if you look into the older things I've written. I didn't like the final product, so I re-wrote it.
Life is to live.
Life is to love.
Life is to die.
There will be hard times,
and even harder times than that.
But we will live on.
We will cry,
with both sadness, and joy.
But we will live on.
The old man, slowly walking.
Taking in the world around him.
His pains, his loves, his short comings.
He lives on.
As will we.
Moment
Moment was literally a "in the moment" poem. That's all I have to say about it.
Remember the past.
My failures.
My victories.
My loss.
My gain.
Live in the moment.
My happiness.
My sadness.
My pain.
My love.
Hope for the future.
My hopes.
My struggles.
My strengths.
My weaknesses.
Because we all remember the past, live in the moment, and hope for the future.
And because we are who we are.
Untitled 2
Untitled 2, is again, another thought provoking (hopefully) piece of mine.
Never average
Never normal
Never the same
Never.
Every event we live through
and die through
Shapes us.
Until we are so strong that we change those around us
or we've taken so many blows that we simply
Fall apart.
And everyone we change
Remembers
Forgets
Loves
Hates.
They all want to stay the same.
No change.
No adventure.
"Adventure does nothing."
They were wrong.
I am not afraid.
Well, that's it for now. I'm currently working on a piece, titled "Reach For Glory". I've been working on it for a while, as it's the defining piece of my blog. Also, as we do more prompts in English, I'll post those as well.
I'm going to most likely begin uploading things I write in Honors English 9, as well as my own poems and streams of consciousness (Mr J if you see this, you have absolutely no idea how much I miss those streams of consciousnesses). Also, for those of you who visit my blog from Mr J's 7th grade classes, or those of you who don't know me that are in the eighth grade, my name is Dilpreet. I'm a freshman in highschool, and I'm fairly proud to say that I have somewhat of a passion for writing. I've been writing stuff like this(poems, papers, and all that good stuff) since 7th grade, when it was first introduced to me in Mr J's class. So, all in all, this is a place for me to put all my writing, and for the world to see it. Have fun and think what you will.
7:33 AM, November 27th
My eyes open and the day begins,
the sun creeps throughout the world,
laying layers upon layers of life.
It's time to move, and time to
Live.
And isn't that what we all aspire to do?
Just live like it's our last day and live like we live forever.
Live like it's the best, worst,and most average day of our lives.
Yet we all fight through the pain, and simply,
Live.
The feeling of life is the epitome of peace,
to Live.
Untitled
I awake--
and It begins.
All these actions, chosen by Me and controlled by Me.
Redeemers redeemed and sinners sinned.
Our world stays chaotic.
Chaotic.
Never calm.
Deadly and volatile,
right up until I am perverted into only an Icon,
an Image.
By those who use Me as their guiding light
for their own reasons
their own, wrong, reasons.
Except my light
It's not there.
And it won't be there
until once again, My image
and My icon
become Pure.
Jump
Take the plunge, take the fall.
Take the chance.
Come, jump with me,
so that we can become,
Better.
And when we hit the ground,
Rock bottom,
Let's just get back up,
and do it all over again.
So that we can become,
Better.
