A Perfect Example of Minority Rule is A Baby in the House

My aunt finally had her baby September 27. My little cousin is finally here!! =]



The nine months that you were incubating
Seemed to go by fairly quick.
I remember when I used to touch your mommy’s tummy
And you would kick back powerfully like Captain Falcon or just lean there.
You were rolling around
Like Monkey Ball in there on a mission.
We played games,
I gave you grammar lessons,
Told you stories,
And sang you some songs
All while you were in the womb.
Seemed like it that all was barely yesterday.
Now, that you’re finally here,
There’s much more for you to learn and experience.
Hopefully I’ll be there to help you go through it all
Or even to introduce it to you.

People Change and Forget to Tell Each Other

A friend of mine is going off to the wartoday, so it would only make sense for me to post the poem I wrote about him now:


When we first started talking it was tons of fun.
Smiles and laughter all around.
You liked my flaws
Along with many other things
I didn't even like about myself.
You're always trying to help me overcome my fears
Or things I'm just too shy to do.
All of that and tons more would be an easy task for you to accomplish,
If you weren't trying to do it through a computer.
You can try to work your magic when you get back.

When the world says, "Give up," Hope whispers, "Try it one more time."

I've had this poem for over a month now and I've been anxious to post it, like I am for my next three. I'm just trying to space out my posts and place some fine tunning on them where need be.

Here's my poem and birthday present to the recipient:


You were flying with your cape and me in your arms.
Going down a road I knew little to nothing about.
A path you figured I didn’t need help with,
Despite what I told you.
We both claimed to want something more.
Only I didn't know how to get there
Nor how to show you.
Our inability to communicate only made it harder.
I ignored my instincts and disregarded the countless
Advice and chance I got to get off of this flight.
Everyone told me things I already knew,
I just wanted to be optimistic.
My optimism soon ended up being taken for
Naïvity and stupidity.

Eleven months ended up being when I fell.
As I was falling I watched you continue to fly.
When I finally hit the water below,
You came back for me.
You said that you dropped me cause it what we had wasn't fair
It wasn't 50-50 in your eyes
However you said you would pick me back up,
Only if I made a sacrificial change to myself.
Had I of done that, everything would be a lie,
I wouldn't be me.
As I floated in the water I wondered if it was all
Worth it.
The confusion, the advice, the deceit, the insults.
The tears, the lies, the hypocrisy, all of it.
