Memorial Day Poem

They gave their life 
for our freedom 
They left behind family and friends 
They're not ever sure whether they'll 
be home for the holidays or whether 
they'll make it home at all
They face challenges we can't even fathom 
Some make it home and so don't 
The ones who make it hoe are scarred 
You can't see the scarring that's imprinted 
inside of them
You can't imagine their nightmares 
that are their  reality
Some won't get to see their kids be
born and will miss out on their kids 
first everything and would do anything 
just to be with them
They cherish every picture and letter they
have from family and friends 
They are fathers,sons,mothers,and daughters 
They chose to fight to keep us safe and free
Pray for the families who lost them 
Light a candle in remembrance of those who fell
Share their stories of their life so they
can be remembered and not forgotten 
Don't just thank them on Memorial Day
Give thanks to them and pray
for them everyday 
(Just wrote by-me)

It's a way for me to express myself and just let all my emotions that I need to express out, and writing them down. It's a way to make me feel better without bottling it all up inside. It takes a load of my chest so I don't feel weighed down.     Freed From My Chains You don't point the finger at me like others tend to do. You let me try to figure it out for myself, because you know if you tell me what to do, I'll probably do the opposit

Stop giving the negative people attention

 Stop giving the negative people of the world so much attention.  Stop making negative people so famous for negative stuff. It's disgusting that the people who are doing horrible things are being given that attention. We as people see it in people's real lives and social media. Social media is where we need to start drawing the line. If we would take that attention away and ignored the bad behavior maybe just maybe they would see that it isn't good. People have turned negative into this is a social normal. It is not a social normal. Stop feeding the negative and toxic behavior. Stop saying it's normal.  I'd like to see more of you sharing people who are trying to succeed in life, build each other up, helping one another with small business or businesses, spreading love and light, helping people who are less fortunate, listening to others, being there for people who have depression, anxiety, PTSD,and much more.  So many could be successful if everyone supports everyo

Cursed House

  It's a dark stormy night this Halloween night. The clouds  are ominous.  You can feel the energy from the storm. 5 friends and me are staying in an abandoned house deep in the Bayou of Louisiana.  I had picked the place. My friends and I love spooky things. This year we are hoping for a good scare because last year we went to a cemetary and it was just a bunch of teenagers messing with us. We get to the abandoned house before it starts storming.  There is a fireplace in the living room and we light a fire to stay warm and cozy.  "Ari what is the plan?" my boyfriend asks. "I thought we would eat and check the house out after." My friends and I make sandwiches. We eat in the living room. While we are eating we hear kids laughing. We get up to see where it is coming from and find nothing.  It is  a big house you can get lost in because the house is made like a maze. "This house is strange," Joe says. "Did you know  it was made like a maze?&quo
