An ideal of Society;
Holiday.
Noun.
Def.
Let us look upon those who posses less than the majority, in a given situation, compare, contrast, thank god for being privileged and fortunate to be born into a favorable situation.
Yet, the holidays do
Have some benefits.
As a byproduct of comparing,
Pity and sympathy are
Released and the soup kitchens
And those little cardboard boxes
In the front of the school rooms,
Are filled with food.
The little runaway
Angels are given shelter and a promise.
I find it troublesome to
List all of the things
I am grateful for,
Though it is not a suitable
Time for me to be judged.
A sour mood is presently
Inhibiting my brain.
A lack of love my eyes
Do see, and a heart
Lacking fuel. Blood is
Slowly draining out,
Leaving me pale.
Sweet faces seem
Fake and sense of loneliness
Smothers my day. The sky is gray, and the
Clouds are a musky purple.
I can not bring myself to thank
The spirits for material possessions,
For when my mood is gloomy,
They never seem to matter. No that
Is a lie only two things matter...
I, a teen age girl, am craving
My mp3 player, which I thoughtlessly left
At home and
My favorite pink plush pig,
Sleeping on my bed.
For all a want now,
Is my source of comfort and to let
The music flow and block
Society’s nagging voice
Out of my ears and achieve peace
For while; a time to recuperate,
Before I dive in the populace.
Continuing to strive for
Individuality and search for myself.
A negative note I
Seem to play, still
Searching for the heavenly note of happy.
Yet I can’t help but wonder if this is the role I am fit to be…
So I invest my happiness into the friends I have.
And I am thankful for their presence, they are
My saviors. I also invest my faith in the future,
I do fear the everlasting presence of the gloomy
Violin shadowing my days, but
I push my happiness for the good times I’ve had
And for the ones I am
Going to create,
And these are the
Reasons
I am truly thankful.

- Title: To Be Thankful For...
- Artist: XxFallingFromFirexX
- Description: I wrote this on the week of Thanksgiving and I was in a really bad mood. My teacher told the class to list the things we are thankful for and as I say in the poem, I wasn't able to list the material things in my life because they don't matter to me when I am feeling lonely. I wrote about my friends and the future because they are inspiration. Laurel and Kirsten, you guys are amazing, love you!

- That's amazing. Your quite good at writing. 5 out of 5, if I could, I'd go 10 out of 10, but sadly, I cannot.
