Ballad of Summer

Her whole life carried upon her back, Innocent when she left the cul-de-sac. So sweet Summer she left for the city, Barely sixteen she was oh so pretty. Family life was too much for her to bear, Her father beat her and tore at her hair. Drawn by the lights and glamour of New York, In life she took the wrong path at the fork. She left a note for her beleaguered mother, For her father she did not leave another. She made her mind to strike out on her own, Leaving that house of pain, her soul had flown. On the bus windows, lights make brilliant streaks, This last trip she had been planning for weeks. In her patch-work pink poc

A Story

A wispy, white-clad nurse bids me follow her from the waiting room. In a little room with wallpaper of sadly smiling sunflowers she prepares the needle. Three months ago, my CD4+ count had been a little over four hundred. I wonder what it will be after this test? I look up at the ceiling, hypnotized by the hovering horizontal tiles. With my mind numbed by the smell of disinfectant, I fall from waking consciousness and start to reminisce.

Romeo: Juliet, thy fair countenance glimmering with pale radiance, Against thy raven black hair. 'Tis like the moon, silver-shedding, Lighting the raven darkness of a starless night sky. Hark! Thy enchanting voice, which drawest me thither to thee As a crystal clear spring draws to it those parched and weary, And quenches the e'er raging flames of my love for thee. Speak, oh fair Juliet! Let me drink in thy flowing voice To temper this burning thirst! Alas, thou art the choicest of jewels, a diamond for the crown of kings, I? But flawed Hephaestus to thee, oh

Junior Year

0 min read

is hell. I'm sorry I haven't been very active lately. Its just that junior year has started and I really need to pull myself together this year with SATs and APs and such coming up. No more procrastination and probably no more social life. Haha. I'll try to submit things whenever I get the chance, but they may be few and far between. Time to hit the books! Nose to the grindstone! Bring on the all-nighters and the Redbull!

Band Camp

0 min read

Just got back from another unforgettable week of band camp today. Lots of work, surreal, foggy, misty weather to march in. New friendships were forged and old ones strengthened. Only thing that annoys me, my ankle is busted up again. ARRGGHHHH.   It just hit me. I'm already a junior. I only have one year of marching band left. Ahhhh... Yes, I am a band-geek. Bite me.
