Poem Tuesdays; Unknown

Another week has gone by, and it time for Poem Tuesdays, all though today it's a quote from an unknown person. I just really like what this quote says, because I believe in it, sometimes I live with it.

We all carry these things inside
that no one else can see.
They hols us down like anchors,
They drown us at sea.

Lazy, lazy me..

I have been so lazy lately! I felt so busy and not in "the writing mood", so instead of writing this post, I just did the "Poem Tuesdays" as usual, but however...

So the thing is, for about a week ago I got this award called "Versatile Blogger Award". I got it by Sherry Ellis, and I just want to say thank you :)

So I'm happy about this award, but I kinda have a little problem of small significance. The problem is, that I don't read that many blogs. So even though I am suppose to nominate 15 other bloggers, I will only be able to nominate four. Maybe later.

The nominees are..
(Can we have a drum roll, please?)

Emerald City
The Confessions &Thoughts of A Teenage Dreamer
Just a Nice Girl
Artworkdiary

Remember to check the nominees out, I wouldn't have chosen them, if I didn't think they are worth spending some reading time on!

The 7 Randoms things about myself

1. I have a habit of biting in my fingers, not my nails like normal people.
2. I like making people laugh.
3. Sometimes I psychoanalysis my teachers, friends and their parents in my head. Simply because I find it interesting.
4. I don't like soy milk.
5. I have a big brother.
6. My reason for going to the gym, is so it won't be so hard for me, to run after the train in the morning when I'm late. At least that's what I tell people.
7. I want to volunteer in Zimbabwe, mostly because Zimbabwe is such a fine name for a country.

So if you have received this award and are reading this, here are some guidelines for what you are going to do with it:

• Nominate 15 fellow bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award.
• In the same post, add the Versatile Blogger Award.
• In the same post, thank the blogger who nominated you in a post with a link back to their blog.
• In the same post, share 7 completely random pieces of information about yourself.
• In the same post, include this set of rules.
• Inform each nominated blogger of their nomination by posting a comment on each of their blogs

I hope your are happy to receive this award, just as I am.

 

Poem Tuesdays; Crank

This is an excerpt from the book "Crank".

No more paper,
nothing left to clean,
thanked god for the
Jerry springer marathon
six great hours, filled
with pitiful people,
whose lives were way
worse than my own
Hard to believe
the world is such
A screwed-up place

I don't know how you read this poem, but I interpret it as disappearing into something and realising that you don't need to. If you read the book, you will notice that in that context this is not the case, at least from my point of view.

How do you interpret it?

Bye the way, if you are a reader of this book and want to find it, I can tell you it's after she met the monster.
