university and beyond
To the stars and beyond, is that where I wana go? Do I wana do the absolute best I can for myself or to satisfy myself as much as I can with "happy" things? I thought maybe it was for me and that was what I wanted...
till I found it that it wasnt about me, and what I thought was good, or what I wanted. Sure it would be great to take a gap year, and travel the world, or just sit around and get a part time job and just "chill" for a while?
Its something you do need to think about sometime, but it is also something that you can choose not to worry about. I like to think I've chosen that line but sometimes I'm not always so sure but its all good I guess.
So yeah as in all situasions (almost) you can choose to do a minimum of two things and I'm gonna choose the "I'm not gonna worry bout it one" or yeah I just want God to put me in the best place He can to use me and for God thats not gonna be too difficult.
anyways
peace in
cheers

Ruffled Feathers

Castaway
He gets swept ashore
The sun shelters his every path
Not realising the ramifications
He moves on
In search for She
He does not find
Astounded by the lack of interest
His confusion gets him no where
The love of a mate
She drives his heart
Around in a circle he travels
Remembering a once thriving twosome
His despair is unnatural
This isolation too much to handle
He cannot discover She's hiding place
The one and only shelter begins to die out
As the horizon creeps upward
He, the lonesome ostrich waits for his mate, She

Residents Quest
Through the kitchen, into the lounge
this bare house screaming out its nakedness
With paint stricken walls, I cast my eyes to the floor
the carpets ripped and torn, plain and dusty
I sought out a bathroom and with my bare feet on the cold tiles,
a chill runs down my back
As I gaze into the murky waters of the basin,
my own lack of reflection calms my insecurity
The sound of creaking floorboards echo as I wander down the passage
tip toe, my heartbeat is the only thing left to listen to
As I approach the staircase, my hand reaches out to grasp the oak banister
with the wind whistling, I make the assent
As my fingertips brush over the cold, wet windows
I gaze out, wondering about a life out there
I reach the highest room, once utilized, now just a lonely, empty memory
my feet cushioned by the damped floorboards
I took a deep breath
the mildew taste in the air was sour
I never knew how I got in
and I’ll never know how I’ll get out

Danz incompletion
Hey have been on holiday for the last while so haven’t posted. I have been doing a poetry project we have to do these holidays for next term, we have to choose a theme and write 5 different poems on it.
Knowing me I realised that I'm not very good at writing "happy" poems, and prefer doing more depressing, but interesting things. More the faint of heart vibes.
Newayz I chose "loneliness", not necessarily that I suffer from it, but we all have before so we all know what its like, well at least to some degree. It was really hard, but I managed to get all of them finished. I will post sum of them up soon, when I get time to type them out.
Also on my holiday I learnt a bit about comfort zones. We all know the story about that, but yeah I was happy to be back and slide back into my normal, natural, easy role in my friendship group. I missed it obviously but it was good to get away, like it always is.
I also learnt about myself. I came across a few situations in my holiday where I had decisions to make, and I had to do them rather hurriedly. You can see how you work in those "pressure" situations where you don’t have time on your hands.
Some of the situations I did what I shouldn’t have done and then regretted it afterward. Some of them, I was content and all was good. So I think it just comes down to, what yah gonna do?
Just be ready for anything, God is always there to protect and nurture you. He is there wanting you to ask Him for guidance. I did just that in most cases.
But when you don’t look to Him and ask Him. He is still there, but you just don’t acknowledge it, and that I believe is our greatest weakness. Not acknowledging God's omnipotent power and love.
Keep it real
Find it real
Make Him real
