Sometimes, though the wind may blow, Time will seem to stand still, The pains of yesterday, and the pains of today, They'll always remind us that we're alive, Today, in this unknown place at this unknown time, We gather ourselves, in memory of another, We've lost our dreams and hopes today, For they have all been given away, Today, we share ourselves and our memories, We share everything that she left for us, And yet, it seems as though it never gets easier, For everything that is left is now gone, The time spent with her, as short as it was, Will be something I'll always remember, For she is one, that would never leave another behind, And yet today, as painful as it is, we're leaving her, But her memory will always be with us, She is one that's not easily forgotten, Someone to love and to care for, And always, someone who taught us new things, As strong as she stood for us, We must now stand for her, She's given us hope and dreams in the past, And stood by our side in times of pain, These memories of her we have, They'll never leave our minds, For she is one of great importance to us, Someone who brought us all together.

So yea, I'm at work and well one of my friends is in a stitch of trouble. Apparently he had missed a day to take the ASVAB which is a military placement test. Anyways, he received a point because he missed the day and was almost to be fired because he had too many points. Anyways, the Assist Project Manager had sweet talked someone in HR-Attendence and she requested a poem. So, the APM then told my friend's supervisor who then told him to write a poem. Of course, he started asking people for help... and I said that I could write decent poems... Then he tells me it has to be flowery. To me a flowery poem consists of rhymes... as I hate rhyming. Anyways, here is the results of this::


I want to join the Air Force
The day of the test came up
So on my way to work, I changed course
Went for the ASVAB, wish me luck

Was told that I had been deviated
That I wasn't needed today
All my worries, now alleviated
I took the test, time passing away

My test scores now received
I ended up in the top sixty-nine
Now all my fears have been relieved
Thanks to you, everything is fine

My points are now one lower
I finally am better off again
I must once again add manpower
To this project, I will remain



Ok. Now you get to tell me how blasphemous this is to my standard ways of writing. Also, you get to point and laugh and make a mockery of this. But hey, it's a poem nonetheless.

Why must we be so upset with what we do have? Shouldn't we be grateful that we have it? I don't know why so many people have the urge to complain. When there is so much going on, sometimes the most evident things are those that we have. But still, with that, should we not be grateful to have them?

I've lost myself. I went off on a friend because she was so concerned about an argument she was having with a friend. To me, that hurts, that she would be so concerned with that. So much more is going on than just that, and yet, because that is the most evident thing, it's the only thing on her mind. Me, I complain about my job, because it's about the only thing that I have right now, I can complain about it... Though, I should be grateful to have it. I've met so many friends through my job, and they are all still with me. So should I not actually say good things about it?

The hardest thing about all of this, is that we all do it. But when we get the chance, we should help each other out of this. I went off on my friend because I thought she should know better. I tried to show her what's going on, but... I guess she just was more concerned with it happening. Though, I guess sometimes we just wish we could be doing the same thing... I don't know.

Sorry for bothering you with this entry... just needed to get that out.

It's been a while since I've written in this. Anyways, I posten my first poem today. I have returned, though I know not for how long or if it is an official return. I do miss all of you here, and I think I need to catch up with a lot of you. I am sure many of you have forgotten about me, but I shall continue to write nonetheless. Keep watching for my next poem. XD And remember, never forget how to smile, or you may forget how to live.

Heh, I'm leaving DA for a while, if not indefinitely. I am leaving an entry in my Livejournal, available to the public if you want a closing letter. I am putting it up for both LJ and DA. So, I wish you all adieu and best wishes.
