Prompt: Who were your parents when they were your age
This is a piece that I have started, it is still a work in progress.
Mom
17 years,that was enough right? Enough time to learn from them how to be an adult, enough time to hold many special memories, enough time...
I knew this could be it, last year Micheal was disowened by the family. Uncle Ian and Aunt Sherry mourned for the loss of their son. Honestly though, it made me sick staring at them. Sitting on stiff new couches, covered in black, and expecting people to play along with this religious "game". Why was being born into a Jewish family like this, consumed with themselves and false hope.
This had been my secret for 2 1\2 years though, lying to everyone who loved me was too hypocratical, especially being a Christian...That word, it's like sin, a swear in my house.
Dad
"Please, No; Please, No; Please, No...this cant really be happening..." These words were trapped in my mind, running through them like a broken record.
18 years, that was enough right? Enough time to show people I love them, enough time to learn how to survive on my own, enough time...
I knew this was coming, but when it did i hadnt expected my insides to tie bows, or my body to sweat. "What if i died!?" My mind kept screaming, turning into muffled cries underwater.
A young man and I crawled into my mom's lap to cry. The same that held me when I was a baby, or when I hurt myself when I was a boy. I had no choice, it was either the air force or prison.

Lyrics: Christmas Song-Flyleaf
A Frightened virgin teenage girl
Receives a message that defies the laws of this world
All she can do is weep anc nod
She's to Bring into this world the Son of God
Gods angles sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by Satan it has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns
A star appears fufilling ancient prophecy
There's an ounce of fear as wise men follow faithfully
The VIrgin Mary brings forth the human savior
And this future king sleeps soundly in the manger
soundly in the manger
God's angels sound their trumpets
And blow their horns
Tonight the long awaited savior is to be born
The goodness bound by satan It has been torn
With this baby's precious brow ready for thorns
Tonight He is born so one day He can die
To heal hearts that are torn and live the perfect life
So he can hang upon a cross and we can take His life
So we can live as sinners
And He can pay the proce
Tonight He is born so one day he can die
But He will rise again
(Please,Let me know if anyone knows how to upload a youtube video )

The Apparent Allusion
A master in deception.
I falsely pleasure your senses.
Persuading you to believe power is in your control.
Unaware of my full capacity.
Give me an inch I'll take a mile.
Just one taste and I'll have you running back for more.
[In your mind I'm an elixir of life]
I hypnotize you under my spell, put you in a trance.
Playing with you like a puppet, my mind becomes your body.
I am in full control.
Yet I keep you coming back for more, addicted to the game.
Playing with no adventure.
I begin to write your story.

Take heart! I have overcome the WORLD
I decided to share an entry I have in one of my inspirational, life journals. I love reading back on things that I have written, especially things that are from my heart because often times I forget these epiphanies I have had during stressful times!

" Even though all these things may happen, hurt, or go wrong in my life, God is always good and has huge magnificent plans for my life because we have an endless, powerful love story. I must never forget that He wants the best for me because He loves me more then I can imagine. When tough times come, and I feel like I am helpless, I must remember my greatest weapon is worship.
My worth and value comes from God alone. He is tender hearted and wants me just like I want to feel loved.
' If you continue to do whats right, what's wrong and who's wrong will eventually leave your life.'
- David Blunt "
I hope this can help anyone whose heart might be hurting , or feels alone. I've learned that life is truly such a roller coaster and when we go through difficult times it's really important to remember positive things to lift our spirits and surround ourselves with love(people, God, etc)!
During hard times it's very easy to lose perspective, or what should really matter. I would recommend to write down any happy, inspirational, or positive thing that comes to mind so that when you walk through a darker period in life you can be reminded of happy and true things!
One of my Favorite bible verses is : " In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33
Is it not so encouraging to know that God wants to let us know that HE has overcome the world..meaning all our struggles, pain, and hardships. Him saying this obviously means that hes aware of life being far from perfect, but none the less loves us and fights for us!

Confessions of a Cellphone
I am always there, being cradled at the side of your thigh or even by the palm of your hands. I hear everything you say, and sometimes, if you hold me close enough, I can hear what you think.
Remember that one time we got stuck out in the rain, at Johnson Drive and Handerson Avenue? It was when you met Jay, and you used me to call your best friend to talk about how much you liked him. And even though he was 22, 5 years older, you would get him to love you. I was the one that got all jumbled up when you were jumping up and down with me in your hand screaming the first time he called to take you out. I was even peaking out of your pea-coat pocket the night he kissed you, and again when you went a little too far. I rang in alarm when your mother called to say she was going to be home early. I liked Jay at this piont, he didn't distract you from me much. In fact, for him, you used me more.
I was shocked the night you called him to break up. You had met someone new...Lincoln. I stored all your unread text messages from Jay. I deleted all the ones you didn't want your mom to read, but now I wish I had saved them because maybe...just maybe...I could have helped save you. I let you dial the call when you agreed to meet him by the reservoir that night.Ohhh, but i shouldn't have.
I began to shiver when your parents tried to reach you the next morning, I was lying all alone on the ground. But that wouldn't have mattered, or helped the shivering. Your body was already as cold as death.
