Because Of You

LIKE A RUSTLE IN THE TREES
LIKE A FEATHER LIKE TOUCH
IT CAME TO ME AT ONCE
WAS IT YOUR LAUGHTER
YOUR SMILE
OR YOUR VOICE
 THE ONE THAT CONVINCED ME FIRST
OR WAS IT YOUR POETIC WORDS
FULL OF LOVE
OR THE SEDUCTIVE PHRASES YOU CHOSE IN EVERY SENTENCE
THAT MADE ME FALL FOR YOU LIKE A FOOL?
OR MAYBE IT WAS YOUR EYES THAT PENETRATED MY SOUL
AND MADE ME FEEL NAKED AT YOUR SIGHT
IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT IT WAS
OR IF IT WAS EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE THINGS
AND IT DOESNT MATTER COUSE I KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT
 THAT I KNOW WHAT LOVE FEELS LIKE
BECAUSE OF YOU

Traped with Liberty

i can go anywhere and yet i can go nowhere

i live in no fear of falling from mid air

i never get tired of running or walking

yet, i fear the cool darkness of the deep blue sea

i look at the sky and feel an urge to have the sun bathing my face with its warm rays

a despair fills my insides and a longing makes me desire

to go to the surface and breath the air of eternal life

but i know the price would be death

i live drowned by an indigo substance

that though necessary

drags me to the darkest depths of this earth

there are millions of others of my species

we fly in water with no wings we walk in water with no legs

and we breath air with our lungs drowned in water and our hearts on land

we are prisoners of the sea

sentence to live as free prisoners

never to see the outside world

a place full of secretes to reveal

places to go and adventures to live

we are sea creatures for we were born in the sea

bound by life to the land of our forefathers

we live in water and die for earth

we are sea creatures

free, unable to go everywhere

and trapped, with liberty, to go anywhere...

but the difference is that everywhere has no boundaries

and anywhere is just another word

for the word trapped.

yet i am no fool and admit

i live trapped within my own desire

Thirteen reasons why

It’s frustrating. It’s not fair. They are happy and go on with their lives like nothing

Happened. It is my life they ruined and I'm the only one that notices the change.

It's true. They didn't take a knife and stuck it in my heart. They took an invisible dagger

Fabricated with mist and drew a hole in my soul. The least I can do is let them know. Let them hear

My thirteen reasons why. I know hearing it from my lips will hunt.

And my voice will follow them throughout out their lives and even after their own

Deaths. And so my life won't be the only one that changes

Or ends...

Cassette 1: Side A

First Kiss

It started simply

With a kiss

a beautiful kiss

a beautiful memory

a memory stained

with a rumer

a rumor based

upon my first kiss

a rumor that started

a reputation

a reputation

that started

a snowball effect

my snowball effect of a life

Cassette 2: Side A

Mist

It’s a filthy layer

featherly light

easy to see

with a naked sight

in its misty sea

trapes the free

and fearfull soul

only seen through

a fearless soul

Blind you are

if you see the mist

And you are far

from knowing me

For I've become a prisoner

In the flesh of mist

because of you...

Rising ActionCassette 2: Side B

Fallen Star

You've shut my curtains

You've silenced the thunder

You've hide the stars

You've stolen my privacy

You've taken my last safe place

Made my list

Made my map

Made a red star

But you are far

to being my

Star

ClimaxCassette 5: Side A

Hell

Vanquished and betrayed

I've been sent

from the heavens above

To a world overlaid

in a base of rumors

Hidden from encouragement

Deprived of my own privacy

I've to shut the stars away

Sent from the heavens above

to be lonely and cold

In a world full of scares

there is no one to hold

Its fogy and dark

The moon my only light

Shining like a dove

A marvelous sight

Now the moon is not even there

He was to late...

Cassette 6: Side A

No Better

They only had two chances

and we both let them down.

I was confused hurt and tired

but there is no excuse to what I did

no matter how I felt I should have helped

Should have stopped him

Should have called sooner

but I didn't

I helped ruin a life

true

I didn't touch her

but still helped

I helped end a life

true

I didn't drive the car

but I still helped

I am no better than any of them

Falling Action

Journal Entry

December 2 12:20AM

I feel like I'm on a ladder. The ladder is my life. It’s unstable.

It trembles at my every step.Should have moved faster. Should have been afraid

of becoming her. But instead... I gave in. The stair vibrate faster

making me shake with them. Then all of a sudden I'm falling.

I guess it is unfair to say it’s all of a sudden .People have climbed and stepped on me so many times

I became fragile. the crystal stair couldn't hold so many hurt. I look around and see crystal.

crystal memories of what has been my life from the start of this place. I hold on to the last crystal stair remaining.

then I look down and see an end and I let go. I see darkness and crystals. I see many ways out.

But it would be unfair to have my parents see me like that.

So I choose the easiest way out. One way that will cause less pain to my loved ones.

Suddenly I have an idea. And the crystals became pills.

Now I know my way out...

Journal Entry

December 3 11:40

I’ve thought about it many times.

every time as a passing thought but sometimes I'd take it further. I 'de think

of ways to end it ways to stop all of the madness.

I could use a gun but I don't have one my Dad doesn’t have one

and I wouldn't know how to get one.

I could also hang myself but where how what would I use to hang myself?

And even if I knew how and where I couldn’t do that to mom and dad.

I couldn't have them find me hanging a few feet from the floor. Breathless and lifeless.

so the painless and easiest way I could think of was pill.

But what kind what type and how many.

Those are simple details I can figure out when the moment comes.

But I’m content with my resolution. I’m calm now and I have my mind set.

I willed my life tomorrow and there will be no one to stop me

Tomorrow is the last day I will see everyone. I will know my last words to them and

And know it is the last time I will see them

the difference is that I will know and they won't.

Cassette 6: Side B

I've said many things. I've talked about many people. but I the end It always comes down to me...

I asked you to not give up on me and hear everything I have to say.

But isn't that an odd thing to ask of you when it’s me who is giving up.

In the end what it all comes down to is "me... giving up... on me."

Cassette 7: Side A

Mr. Porte was my last hope. I went to him hoping he could help me stop myself. But in the end he let me go as I disappeared through the door. Many people saw me. but no one stepped forward to stop me.

I needed to find out who cared about me. And a lot of you did. Just not enough.

And I found out.

"And I'm sorry"

Cassette 7: Side B

"Thank you."

In a second your life can crumble at you feet making you wish you could go back

to the time where you made the most stupidities.

When I heard my tape I felt like that.

She didn't blame me. No one blames me. But I'm guilty.

I could have helped her; I could have stopped her from what she did.

I should have had enough courage to go up to her and ask her the many questions that ran through

my head countless numbers of times. But I didn't, afraid of the answers I didn't.

I shouldn't have let her go. No matter how afraid I was, I shouldn't

have left her in that room all alone.

I look into Mr. Porter’s room and see dozens of faces. Familiar faces that know me but don't

know what I'm going through now. Then I see Skye walking down the same hall I saw Hanna baker

for the last time.

She disappeared in the crowd of student leaving the tapes to say her good-bye.

But Skye. Skye who decided to hide her beauty wearing loose cloths and

her face behind her hair is still there.

I can hear her footsteps sounding weaker the further she gets.

Even though I want to ignore her I can't. I can't let another person slip away.

I start to follow her. I pass Mr. Porter and see his face. When I see it I feel Anger pain, sadness and pity. Then I hear Skye’s footsteps getting louder. And I feel hope.

The closer I get to Skye the lighter I feel. My body begins to relax.

I turn the corner and there she is. I walk faster And within a second she is two steps away...

Resolution

I could have chosen to talk to them clear everything out.

Let them know how I really am.

I could have solved my problems with all of them but I didn't.

I chose to keep all my felling in and decided to end my problem another way.

worriors

Its been a long day.
My men are tired and stained with sweat and blood.
We have won a battle but lost much more...Brothers.
We return home victorious and all at once we have lost.
We've dispelled of the enemies and now we are at the
 precipice, saying our goodbyes  to our lost ones.
We all know more battles are impending. More deaths
are looming ahead. I'm apprehensive about weather I'm going
to live or die in our next battle...but one thing I'm sure about is that
 I'd gladly die if it meant saving my people.

Persia

      Every civilization needs F.A.R.T.S.

You need food to survive and art religion and technology to have something to look up to, and not to have boring surroundings.Without any of these, your life would be short and boring. A civilization needs writing, government, religion, technology, social classes, and a stable food supply to keep order and have a healthy co-existence.Without religion and writing, people wouldn't be respectful or kind and wouldn't be able to communicate and would fight over food without a stable food supply.Everybody would be scattered and there wouldn't be order without a social class and government. In order to have a civilization you need W.G.F.A.R.T.S.

        W=Writing
   Persians had a writing system. Persians writing system was known for being the shortest cuneiform during it's time.Sumerians had a cuneiform of 700 character and Persians only had 39 characters. Old Persian cuneiform was done the same way as any other cuneiform. They all used wedge-shaped characters. The character were inscribed on regular clay. Persia had a simple cuneiform that was useful for recording data and communicating.

         G=Government
    Persia had a government. The government started with the king, sole ruler of Persia, and ended with government officials, rulers of local areas. The king couldn't see everything at the same time so he hired government officials to rule their local areas. King Darius, one of the greatest kings of Persia, developed the government system. One of the systems was the tax-collecting system. Every government system worked better with two head leaders. Darius appointed the Persian empire with 2 official capitals. The two capitals where Susa and Persepolis, two of the finest capitals Persia. Every civilization need a government system to keep everything in order.

        F=Food supply
    Persia like any other civilization, has a stable food supply. Persia had many and sometimes exotic food. "Greeks and other foreigners lucky enough to share a Persian meal" would report the exotic meats and spices, like basil,saffron-both spices- pheasants and partridges- both meats. A civilization needs food for survival and peace. If there wasn't much food, the civilization would die soon. Without a stable food supply, Persians would trade peace for a bloody war. everybody would fight over who gets food and how much, or if they get food at all, which of course would cause another conflict.For those reasons, all civilizations must have a stable food supply.

         A=Art
   As all great civilizations, Persia had art to entertain and give more life, and beauty to life. One type of art was jewelry. All kings, queens, and nobles wore jewelry  like rings, bracelets, necklaces, and many more things that made kings and queens look marvelous. One of the most famous arts that Persian people were famous for was the griffin statues and the lion goblets. Architecture was another type of art in Persia.Many of the Persian homes had lion goblets built on the entrance like big guardians.There were great capitals, but not even those fine capitals compare to the palaces built with timber, gold, bactria, ivory, silver, turquoise, and precious stones.Civilization need art not just for entertainment and beauty, but Art to live in.

         R=Religion
    Religion gives people something to believe and look up to. It unites people and brings peace. Persians believed there were many gos related to nature. One of their god of nature was Mithra, the sun god, who was believed to controls contracts. Persians had no temples, so they worshiped gods on the top of the mountains. Persians latter believed there was a supreme god. Between 1200 and 1000BC a prophet by the name of Zoroaster, teached Persians about his own faith based on good thoughts, words, and deeds. He tough Persians about Ahara Mazda, a wise lord creator of all things. Religion gave Persians faith and helped them live in peace with good thought and deeds.
       
        T=Technology
    Technology was very important in Persia. Some of the technology was metal work. With metal work they built spears, chariots, coins, and arrows, which were used during wars. Persians used technology to transport water. Persians built an underground irrigation system, from the mountain to the Vallie's and plains. The irrigation system was an important technology used to water the farmers crops. Persians also built a canal to deliver mail. Technology was important for both survival and communication.

        S=Social Structure
    The social structure of Persia has only 2 social classes, which were high class and low class. The high class is formed by the nobles who rule the empire. Nobles, or officials, ruled local ares and did jobs, such as tax-collection. Although officials ruled, the king was still the sole ruler and the most powerful of all nobles. When a king held courts, he would walk on a special purple carpet, that only he was allowed to walk on. He wore a long purple robe, a crown filled with priceless jewels, golden chains, earrings, bracelets, and everybody, even nobles, had to lie face down on the floor, and avoid eye contact when they approached the king. The lowest class consisted of farmhands, animal herders, servants, and laborers. They worked sunup to sundown and usually died before they were 40, leaving no traces of their existence behind. Over all, Persia 2 class social structure has a sole ruler, the king.

     Persia couldn't have existed as a civilization without W.G.F.A.R.T.S.These characteristics give people a better life. They feed, help, communicated, and give joy. Each of these attributes give Persia a healthy and long life. Food, religion, government, and a social structure gives a civilization, such as Persia, peace and order that helps them have a healthy co-existence.Writing, art, and technology help people communicate, gives them joy and something to believe in.

Submition power and fear

Everybody is different.
Yet everybody is the same.
Everybody has fear.
Everybody has their own happy place.
She is mean,cruel, obnoxious,arrogant, and powerful.
She yells... She screams.
I do not bend to her will...
 I have no fear in my eyes.
All of a sudden she sees a flicker in my eyes.
Of what? I dunno.
She submits. She has fear.
I stud up for myself.
Something, she had never seen before.
She feels naked at what she thinks is power,
at my free and fearless
soul.
Now she is powerless.
She thinks I have the power.
Yet I feel the same as her.
I feel naked, and fear my own shadow.
My soul is trapped in an endless SCREAM.
A SCREAM petrified of its own matter.
Not solid, not  liquid,
but a transparent wind,
so different from what my outer soul reveals.
I feel empty and powerless.
But she doesn't know that...
And I... Won't say otherwise.
