~*~ lil emo world of z ~*~

I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn’t,
So I jumped in and sank.

I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn’t a-been so cold
I might’ve sunk and died.

But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!

I took the elevator
Sixteen floors above the ground.
I thought about my baby
And thought I would jump down.

I stood there and I hollered!
I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn’t a-been so high
I might’ve jumped and died.

But it was High up there! It was high!

So since I’m still here livin’,
I guess I will live on.
I could’ve died for love–
But for livin’ I was born

Though you may hear me holler,
And you may see me cry–
I’ll be dogged, sweet baby,
If you gonna see me die.

Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

I used this poem in one of my poetry projects last year.   I didn’t remember the exact reason why I picked it but I liked it from the beginning.  So I thought it’d be nice if I share it with you since I had nothing to do and was bored.  

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!  Finally, I’ve got a chance to say it LOUD!  Yeah..today was the last day of school…and now I’m officially off from school for 2 weeks! However, I don’t think it is going to be fun since I’ve got some works to do.  My Spanish teacher wouldn’t leave me alone and let me have fun even in the break.  She gave us a take home test, which is 53 pages long, to finish up during the break!  I’m not trying to make it that awful. But, what are we supposed to do in the holidays?  Hello…we’re off to REST..not to work!  And guess what? A week after we go back to school, we’ll have to take the ACP exams.  Then what? TAKS [the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills] Tests?  OMG…I’m such a loser, having endless things to complain. 

Nonetheless, on the bright side, I don’t have to get up early in the mornings, which means, I can stay up late at nights after all.  Plus, I can get online and chat with my buddies as I used to.  And I’m hoping to gain some weight during the break [lolz..I'm tired of being skinny].   

Ok then, I’ll just stop here.

Wish you have a very merry christmas and a happy new year!
