Mexico
In 8th Grade my family and I got to drive down to Mexico over Christmas break to build houses for the people of Puerto Peñasco. I remember not really wanting to spend my Christmas in a strange city with people who didn't even speak my language. It wasn't until the first day of working on the house that My view started to change. I was helping tear The roof off of something I would barely consider a house. I tried to imagine myself living in a place like that. Afterwards we went to visit the people who live in an area termed the shanties. This experience was the real eye-opener for me. It was a 2 mile stretch where about 200 people live in complete shacks where one wall could be a mattress and the other a piece of cardboard if they were lucky. They had no electricity or running water and little to no food or clothing to keep them warm. We walked along the stretch and gave out blankets, food, coats, & toys for the kids since it was Christmas. I was surprised at how excited they were to receive even something as small as an orange. As soon as we started handing things out, children and adults came running down the streets after us hoping to receive whatever we had. We Couldn't hand things out fast enough and we were worried that we would run out. A man in our group noticed A guy without shoes so he took off his own and gave them to him. I knew I couldn't change their situation but I felt like I wanted to give them anything I could. I noticed that even though these people had barely anything they were the most gracious and happy people I have ever met. All they wanted to do was give back by expressing their gratitude. These people helped to open my eyes and see that there is so much need in this world and even though these people don't have much they are so grateful for what they are given.

winning & losing
I could sit here and make a list of all I've lost
But I learned this the hard way,
one too many times....
like my weaknesses are strengths,
my losses are wins
because not everything you lose is a loss

I think im a robot
My friends make fun of me cuz I don't cry in movies, not even The Titanic
In kindergarten, a boy drew a heart and gave it to me... I grabbed it and ripped it to pieces right in his face
People say I'm hard to read, they probably wonder if I even have feelings at all
I've never been in love
When I was 5, my brother made me mad so I pushed him down the stairs and broke his leg
I didn't feel bad at all
Apparently I don't have a heart
...... I think I'm a robot

kranz
when I was 3, I only used the pinks & purples
when I was 4, it was all about blue
when I was 5, I used all the colors.... except black, brown, & white
but when I was 7, I realized that there wasn't such thing as pink snow, or a blue tree trunk.
eventually, my tree trunks were brown & the snow was left white
& the sun, yellow
the grass, green
the sky, blue
the flowers, pink & purple

YONCE
Beyoncé killed it tonight sooo here's more.....
I don't know much about fighting, but I know I will fight for you
I'll be there for you if somebody hurts you, even if that someone is me
I been sippin' that's the only thing that's keeping me on fire
You don't deserve my tears, I guess that's why they ain't there
It's the way you know what I thought I knew
If you scared, call that reverend
Some call it 'ARROGANT' I call it 'CONFIDENT'
I'm a host of imperfection, and you see past all that
I swore i'd never fall again, but this don't even feel like falling
If you thought I would wait for you, you thought wrong
The truth of the matter is... replacing you is so easy
From now on, i'm gunna be my own best friend
Took 45 minutes to get all dressed up, we ain't gunna make it to this club
Pretty hurts. We shine the light on whatever's worst; Perfection is a disease of a nation
I sneezed on the beat & the beat got sicker
Who needs a degree when you're schoolin' life?

Hats
We all have more than one hat
each one, custom made not just to cover our awkward bald spots
but to satisfy ourselves and others
we all have that one hat
our favorite,
that one hat that we feel most confident in
that one hat that allows us to show everyone who we are
or just who we want to be
or maybe we use it to hide something that we don't want to be discovered
sometimes though....
we get tired of our own hats and we obsess over someone else's
always conscious of whats popular or whats in style
so we take it off and try something different
and then you have a new favorite hat
and its fun for a while
but once again
we find ourselves searching for something new and refreshing

I AM who I want to be
I WONDER what it's like to be you
I HEAR only words that I want to
I SEE the world from my own perspective
I WANT to be the best I can be
I PRETEND that life never goes downhill
I FEEL like I can make a difference
I ADMIRE those that can
I CHOOSE to do what's best for me
I TRUST myself
I UNDERSTAND that life is unfair
I SAY everything will be ok
I DREAM that it will be
I TRY to touch others lives
I SMILE when someone touches mine
