Thursday, December 5, 2019
It’s currently 12:48 am in the morning. I am finally relaxed in bed after a productive day in the library. This semester has been the most challenging semester for me. I am finally complete with all my assigned essays and can prepare for finals next week! I have grew tremendously as a writer since my last post my blog! I was shocked, surprisingly I remembered my password. I was a sophomore in high school and I am currently a sophomore in college! Time fly by when you’re on the road to success! I will be updating my blog constantly to tell you all more about me, and my life after high school!

Automat, 1927
He promised her that hour alone,
but time passed by
and he still didn’t show.
She sat down with her legs crossed,
right over left.
She stared at the mug as if it was a human,
still wondering where he could be.
Lonely, miserable, and embarrassed,
she sat waiting.
Her stomach was rumbling
no food on this day.
She still waited.
waited for hours,
sitting alone.
The hiss of the radiator,
hurt her ears,
but she shivered in her seat,
cold, cold hearted.
Still the abundance of her heart told her to wait--
and she waited.
24
hours on Miami Beach
The late nights
lying down on the sand watching the stars in the sky. Walking the pier alone
wishing someone was by my side. The lamp poles were just turning on; bed time
was arriving soon. Mama told me to be back in right before ten. It was getting
close to ten and I still haven’t got in the water. Miami water was so fresh and
clear. When I stepped in the water I seen my legs and toes at the bottom of the
beach. The trees were so tall and windy
at this time of night. The breeze mad me feel cold. Surprisingly a plane flew
across in the sky I was convinced too look at the time. My old water proof
watch read twenty minutes after ten. It was past my curfew time. My name echoed
across the water. I looked on top of the balcony, my mother was standing and
waving to me screaming it’s time to come in. I jumped out the water and picked
up my towel off the sand. I began to step in the cold sand which made me
colder. Skipping across the sand towards the house happily, smiling, and quick.
I reached the top floor of the reservations we were staying in for one more
day. Dried off quickly and sat in the Jacuzzi feeling relaxed and wonderful, a
feeling I never felt like alone. This is what my body needed time alone in a
quiet room. Comfortable was the way I
felt. Time was ticking we had to leave the reservations in just ten more hours.
The checkout time was 8:30 the next morning.
Walking into the
bedroom wishing I was still lying on the beach alone. Wishing my old cranky
mother didn’t call me inside so early; I wanted her to forget the time she
assign. The time was going by so fast, I was waiting for the morning to reach. My mother cracked my door open she told me to
pack my clothes for the next morning. Staring at the stars in the sky and
totally ignoring what my mother was saying to me.
I jumped out of
bed early the next morning. Rushing down the stairs out of the reservations to
reach the beach. Tripping over the shoes that were on the bottom of the stairs.
I ended up with a scratch on my face. It hurt me so much I felt the blood
rushing down beginning to reach my neck. I had to go somewhere to get all
cleaned up. Realizing the water in on the beach can do that for me. I continued
running towards the water. Everyone on the sand was watching me but I was
watching them especially while they were getting an awesome tan.
I was all cleaned
up finally! I decided to lay my towel on the ground and actually look in the
sky at the sun. Apparently I was laying in the shade. I had no possibilities to
get a tan now! Although I knew I was so black already. It was hilarious to me.
My mama came down to the beach with me which she never do it was something new.
I thought she had to tell me something important but she couldn’t because all
of the noise and the waves that was occurring on the beach at the moment.
“Mom why are you
here?”
“Were on vacation
and only have two hours left I want to relax too.”
“Well let’s go on
the boat ride.”
I went to sign up
for the boat ride once it returned back to the deck. My mom and I waited on the deck to get picked
up. We see the beautiful fish in the water swimming across one by one. It was
an lovely day outside and so much action was going on around the beach. The
boat was just pulling back up to the deck. I looked on my watch for the current
time. It was already twenty minutes to seven. Time was flying by we had just
under two hours to leave Miami. I was nervous to get on a boat for the first
time. It was so big and I didn’t want the water to splash on me. My mom forced
me to get on the boat before it left the deck. I hoped on sitting in the back
row seats. This was probably the worst idea I thought to myself! As the boat speed begun picking up the water
started splashing in my face. We were riding past so many trees and the breeze
was already strong the water did nothing but make it cooler. Before I knew it
we were pulling up to the deck again, the ride was over. The time now read
7:45. I grabbed all of my personal belongings and headed up to the reservations
with mama. It was time to pack or suit cases and leave Miami!

Steal a line from Neruda
Do
not take away the rose,
I
cherish it every moment.
Take
good care of it,
water
it every day.
Watch
it grow week by week,
Sitting
next to the sunshine from the window.
Don’t
take it away,
the
only thing that motivates me.
keeps
me looking out towards the community,
keep
me awoke and ready to explore.
Do
not take away the rose.
Broken Bond
We fought every day for happiness;
the measurement of success was
low.
Our love was just able to fit in
a cylinder;
the bond we had wasn’t as strong
as others thought.
It was a struggle between two
living organisms,
my brother and I,
and my life was being dissected,
torn apart.
Little by little,
it felt like dangerous chemicals touched
my soul.
We weren’t the same as before;
Everything’s broken.
We had become separate particles.
leaving each other ,
and now he’s gone.
