Magnetic Poem

Confessions

I and 18 year old teenage guy living with my Father,

and i go and visit my mother 20 minutes down 26 mile rd.

I do not visit her as much i should, but if gas was cheaper i would alot more often.

But thats still no excuse to not see the women who gave birth to me.

I call her almost every other day to see how she's doing and see how Bob is, her husband to be.

My brother the person i grew up with that has seen my worst faults and greatest acheivements,

has left to fullfill his dream of being a Marine.

I do not hate his choice i just regret not spending all the time i could with him, i hate i that i can't talk to him but once a month if i'm lucky.

Always being told by my parents enjoy your time before you run out of it.

What did I do, i ran out of time to spend with him.

He was off to bootcamp before i knew it being broken down and turned into a robot for the government.

I expected him to come back and be a different person, but i was wrong no one could take away his unique personality.

He is still my brother, i miss him more then i ever thought i would

My Mother my Father both try to keep on this face of certainty

but in reality i know they feel just as i do.

But they worry he might not come home, but i know he will come home i have it set in stone.

I'm confident in my brother, was not very good in school, but when it comes to what he loves not even the afgahn Army can keep him from doing what he loves and coming home.

After Years

After Years

By: Kerry Eitner

A Decade goes by my High School is still here.

My memories hanging around here & there that we share,

like them shoes on the powerlines over there.

That smell i dreaded walking into this reached place

Till now wanting to smell it once more like the beautiful Red Roses in a vase.

All the complaing i had done to get out and find a job and get a wife

Now all the wishing to go back to the easy life.

Using all the things i said " i will never use this while the sun is still bright"

Now realizing "wow my teachers were so right"

Like when you get a flat and that tire you said you will never use in your trunk

You dont really care untill you flunk.

All the friends i got so close with

and now when i think of them my mind tends to drift.

I think about them and all of our mischief.

To all my teachers that put up with our back talk

to ensure we can walk the walk.

How To Live

Have fun everyday, ignore the negativity
You only live once, dont let people influence your choices.
If they point and laugh do it some more make them laugh harder.
Act like a goof ball if thats how you are, then pretend like nothing happened and confuse people
Find freinds and/or girlfriend as well to bring home to your friends because they are funsweet people, not because they are popular and"fit in"
Its only your life if you make the decisions, not if your "friends" do it for you.
Your living their lives, and faking your own.
If you like to dance, go and dance, like to ride horses, go ride horses, like getting dirty, go mudding
Let nothing stop you from doing what you want, you only live once so live and love it to the max.
Don't be like a fish in a fish tank, can see the world outside but trapped behind this thin piece of glass starring watching things move around them.
Dont be a fish, don't watch ur life go by live it how you want to.
Do What You Love, Love What You Do
Just LIVE YOUR Life.

My Name Is.

Lets Talk About Life..
Yesterday My Name Was Typical
Today My Name Is Birthday Boy
Tomorrow It Will Be Back To Basic
Thats how life is, Exciting One Day,
Then Not So Great The Next
So Live One Day At A Time,
Enjoy Each One,
Live
Laugh
Love
Have Fun and Cherish Everyday Like Its Your Last.

2-19-10 image 2

That image makes me think of the world and all of its problems that we supposedly cause it. But no matter what when you look at the earth as whole its beautiful.

Reminds me of summer time, and pic niks, weddings out in the nice hot summer day. Makes me think of relaxing in the shade and catching a tan when ur not hiding in the cool shade.

Also makes me think of corn fields and how upnorth we go mud bogging through them with our trucks and four wheelers.

it makes me want summer back faster and get rid of this nasty cold weather, and school to end to i can start working and get ready for college and just not deal with highschool childish drama.

2-19-10 Railroad Tracks

The railroad reminds me of traveling. I have never been on a real train that goes coast to coast. It seems like it would be fun and relaxing. People usually say well "they can get derailed" and my response is well ur car can get totalled no matter what ur taking chances.

It also reminds me of the movie Hancock when he save the guy from getting killed and everyone hates him still.

I think of christmas time when i see anything to do with trains because of the fact some people put trains around the tree or something. This also brings me to think about the Polar Express..

Railroad tracks remind me of going snowmobiling up north because we used to ride down rail road tracks to just no where and cruise.

My last thought at the moment is of my Uncle Kerry, He gave a jar of change that he had from when he was kid, the cool thing is all the change has been ran over by a train and some is all there just flat, some is cut in half some are oval. its all really neat.

Place i Love #7

I am a summer kid, i love everything about it. My favorite place to be in summer is on the water, wether it be swimming in it or riding on top of it. The refreshing sensation from jumping in the deep blue is just amazing. Piloting a boat, or tubing off of it, riding a jet ski, or just jumping in, or if you eat out of it. The water is just the best, the relaxing noise of the waves washing up on land and the beautiful view of the stars at night is unimaginable. From the speed boats to the freighters going by i love it all. I wish i could be out on it everyday enjoying the love it gives when you jump in and it wraps around you being so commforting.

I Remeber #2

I remember when i was living down in Detroit and all you would hear "Boom, Boom" from Blocks away. I always wondered what it was, My dads stereo in the house shook my friends house about 5 houses down the road. I loved the Shaking and the vibration through my body. I used to sit right next to the speaker because i loved it so much. I always told myself im gunna be the guy that little kids want to be like. Ever since then i wanted to do so, i Started out in my 7th grade year messing with my home surround. I put alot of money into it and still do to this day. Alot of my friends parents of the Bose or Harmon Kardon(name brands) and they come over and heard mine and were blown away by the clearness of bass, vocals, and backround noises. Its all different types of speakers . The fronts are one brand, center another, surround sounds another, subwoofer is car audio sub. with a cheap sony 5.1 from a garage sale blowing away $3-$4,000 surround sounds. My car is my baby, i went all out for good sound in it, and yet its loudest in town when i turn it up. Now i'm going to college for electronics and stuff like that.

Full Moon Me, Idk if this is how supposed to be??

I am Matallic Pearl Blue

A Spiral Cone

I'm a Twist to see who's checking me out

A thunderous Deep Boom to shake the ground

I am a Tiger because they'er cite untill you piss them off

I'm Where The Black Top Ends, Because Pavements Just No Fun

A 1969 Dodge Charger R/T, Hemi,6 Speeds, Deep Gloss Black, Blue Racing Stripes Show Room Condition

Poem that i like

My Life after Henri Michaux
Joe Wenderoth
Somehow it got into my room.I found it, and it was, naturally, trapped.It was nothing more than a frightened animal.Since than I raised it up.I kept it for myself, kept it in my room,kept it for its own good.I named the animal, My Life.I found food for it and fed it with my bare hands.I let it into my bed, let it breathe in my sleep.And the animal, in my love, my constant care,grew up to be strong, and capable of many clever tricks.One day, quite recently,I was running my hand over the animal's sideand I came to understandthat it could very easily kill me.I realized, further, that it would kill me.This is why it exists, why I raised it.Since then I have not known what to do.I stopped feeding it,only to find that its growthhas nothing to do with food.I stopped cleaning itand found that it cleans itself.I stopped singing it to sleepand found that it falls asleep faster without my song.I don't know what to do.I no longer make My Life do tricks.I leave the animal aloneand, for now, it leaves me alone, too.I have nothing to say, nothing to do.Between My Life and me,a silence is coming.Together, we will not get through this.

This poem makes think that we shape our lives in everything that we do. No matter what it is it will come back on us wether it be good or bad.

So my life right now is going exceptionally well. Schooling is going great for me i will be graduating on time and walking with my class. At first i was scared i wasnt going to be able to. When my counsiler told me i can if i pass all my classes and do the E20/20 classes first and second semester i changed my work ethic. I am so excited to graduate and move on to college but at the same time im worried about it as most kids prolly are. I'm going to Baker College in Port Huron MI for first year of college. Then after that i will be finishing up in Muskeegon MI at the Baker College there.

The family and friends part of my life is not doing so bad either. My family has its ups and downs but who has a perfect family. My dad and mom are doing great, my mom is now engaged to her boyfriend after eight years of dating so i'm excited for that. My grandma on my moms side(favorite one) is doing great also those are the main people in my family that i talk to regulary except my brother. My brother is one of my bestfriends, he and i were so close before he went and joined the Marines. After that happened we are still close but he's not around anymore, he's over in Afgahnistan fighting for our country for the last 2 months.

Right now i have a girlfriend that alot of people at school don't like but they honestly just don't know her. I had the same thoughts as all them "shes loud and annoying" but really she is a blast to be around and hangout with. We've been dating for just over a month now and i wouldn't trade for anything.

The worst things that have happened in my life is parents divorcing, but now that i'm older it was for the better. The second is my Uncle Kerry's passing 3 days before christmas last year. But, he had 2 great years at the end with his new girlfriend, and just knowing that made it better. The last 2 that have really affected me were the passings of Niko Carmos and Carl Kruckenberg, i knew them both not alot but enough to know who they were and what type of person they are. For that to happen to them just shocked me but i guess the saying " the good die young" was true for them. I look at them and how they affected so many people around them and the though of killing myself will never go through my head( not that it ever has) its just more of a realization of how much it affects people.
