Never, Never Forget 9/11

Never, never forget that day and the heroes who sacrificed so much! 

Smooches and think Tink. 

Mini Poems (I Decide, The Puppet)

Author Notes:

Hi y'all, 

I needed to get some things off my chest so I wrote two poems. I was full of angst when I wrote these but don't fret. I'm completely fine. I was just venting. All of the negativity is out of my system since I wrote the poems. ⇩ 

I Decide  

We're all about individuality and equality 
but if we really told the truth, 
we would say that we sometimes live in a cult mentality; 
where people want others to have the same thoughts, same beliefs, same style, same likes and dislikes
so we can fit in the same, closed box. 
But I refuse to be just another follower, 
just another bandwagon passenger. 

I decide who I adore and who I should ignore, 
I decide what's right and what's wrong,
I decide what's reality and what's fiction. 
The choice is mine alone;
not my friends,
or my family, 
or some, rich celebrity. 
I decide what person I want to be.

the Puppet  

I sometimes feel like I'm just a helpless puppet,
being manipulated,
my whole body being restricted; 
making me feel so damn humiliated!
I would scream but my speech becomes not understandable and unheard; 
But then, with all of the power I have within,  
the strings of "You can't" and "You should give up" get broken. 
Freed, I dash away confidently, 
flipping off the puppet master:
Cerebral Palsy, 
shouting: "You won't ever keep control over me!"

I hope that you enjoyed the poems. 

Smooches and think Tink!
