Orphaned Butterfly

Silence echoes through the room

All eyes resting on a figure

Watching and waiting

A sign to be given

Be it boy or be it girl

One a gift the other a curse

Wail of pain, first shrill cry

A shake of head

A father’s curse, girl’s birth

The mother too weak

To bother with protest

Her daughter gone by dawn

Given, no sold for dismal sum

To My Baby

Ten tiny fingers

Ten tiny toes

A jubilant giggle

A sorrowful cry

Greeting the world

Fearless and free

A cut, a scrape

You crawl

You walk

First day of school

ABC’s and 123’s

Your future unknown

Yet, you aren’t here

Not meant to be

You or me

One life or death

A selfish choice

Made in fear and desperation

You, a sacrifice

So I could live

A brilliant boy

I seriously -hate- people, at least those who come through the drive-thru at work.  It is like there is this force field that surrounds the lanes where you place your order, that while you are in the drive-thru it automatically sucks 10 to 50 of your IQ points and totally destroys any training in manners you had while growing up.  Politeness and ( Read more... )

Wee! So, today is going to be an interesting day (one would hope).  I am currently at school, bored out of my mind, but don't start work until noon, so what am I going to do?! Well, there is always homework (huzzah?!) or playing a game on my PSP, or I could go up and sit at work for 3hrs or so, and hope and pray that they let me clock in early ( ( Read more... )

Well, I've been hooked on hitchhiker's guide, because it's been residing in my PSP for the past three days ^_^ Huzzah ( Read more... )

Not something that is often my bedfellow, however I've been thinking alot lately and perhaps dwelling on things that are best left under-rug-swept as coined by Alanis Morrisette in one of her songs.  One of which is my desire for a "family" in terms of wanting a child.  This is not something I've actively considered in the last few years because I ( Read more... )

Things are going well, so far anyway, it is New Years Eve and there is officially just over two and a half hours left of 2008.  What have been my pivotal moments of this past year ( Read more... )

So, stuff has been kinda hectic here lately (hence no update for pushing four months).  Okay, *hangs head* I'm horrid at keeping these things going.  But, hopefully I will try and be better, though my life is not very interesting at all.  Christmas was good, very good actually, since I had a stipend check come in from school which is about 10 times ( Read more... )

I think I may have stopped giving a fuck, but then again I am thinking this may just be the stress talking because I've been so close to burn out lately and don't know how to stop it.  Especially with the first's ankle being busted and her being on crutches for 4-6 weeks and non-weight bearing.  Oh yeah and the Capt'n is demanding the house be ( Read more... )

Okay, so I've gotten roped into babysitting my three year old nephew.  He isn't that high maintenance a kid.  A little apple juice, some chicken nuggets for dinner, and a good movie on his tv in his room, and everything is all good.  I mean, things can't get any better.  Especially since my stepdad is back in his room watching tv and I am watching ( Read more... )
