Another day, another five hours of summer gym... sigh. I mean, who really needs five hours of exercise? I am perfectly fine with my one to two. But I had to be an overachiever and take all honors classes AND art AND orchestra and have no more room for gym during the school year so i have to devote five hours of my day to it. Fun, fun. The sad part is, it actually IS fun some of the time. I get to hang with my friends (old and new! Yay to making new friends) and stay in shape. But other than that, its a big pain.

OH, and happy fourth of july, even though its really not the day America gained independance and so on. Fireworks are pretty and give pyros a good excuse to use fire!

One last thing, a poem. It goes with a printmaking thing I did recently but my camera is not working today so maybe ill put up the picture later.

Lost

Darkness in the room

a silent companion,

breath heavy on your neck.

Darkness closes your eyes

and smooths silence

across your lips.

Tears roll down

dripping off your face,

where Darkness grabs

for them, taking

your pain.

Your arm drapes over

your face, covered.

the silence, prods

at the little sobs.

Against a wall

with Darkness wrapped

around, eyes cloaked,

tears rolling,

you are lost.
