A problem I see...
A poem about society.
We want it all, we want it fast.
We put all our energy into things which won’t last.
We get what we want, we still think we have it rough.
We no longer know just what is enough.
A strange thing is man and stranger is our mind.
To choose the very things that put us in a bind.
In our hurt, we hurt in turn, that much is clear.
It seems we never learn, a great thing to fear.
Instead of thinking, I act.
Forsaking, all sense of tact.
A problem I see.
Reflecting how I see me.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"
