You came into my life with such an interesting greet, I welcomed you, not knowing it would lead to my defeat. We had fun together, that would lead to regret later. We grew up together and changed forever. You told me we would be stuck together, best friends forever. But as we grew older, you became colder. All that I did wouldn't matter, our friendship hit the floor and shattered. You got obsessed with being cool, which for you lead to a shallow pool. I wasn't alive to you, walked passed me telling lies. But I got above your abuse, I left with just a bruise and said goodbye without excuse. I'll learn real love, I'll fly like a dove. But you? Soon you'll fade away like all the weak minded do. Just a mere memory like the morning dew

I'm sorry I forgot to thank you for helping me face my fear you're a friend I didn't know I had I had tried to flee like a deer but you wouldn't let me leave you told me to stand up next to you you slowly counted to three as I decided what to do I wonder if you knew I'd jump as soon as you hit three or if you thought I'd stand there until you let me be I knew everyone else had jumped and everyone was fine I didn't want to miss out on this I wanted this experience to be mine I couldn't have done it on my own and my friends I know would have pushed me by doing this for me you have shown what a nice friend that you'd be or should I say have always been even though I didn't know it with your help I jumped right in and I conquered my fears you taught me not to back down on the field or in life so I'll never go down without a fight even though I know I might want to give up when it feels I can't go on so next time I want to say "I can't do this" I'll remember the jump off the ledge that something I thought I never could do is really the easiest thing in the world just go, don't overthink it everything will be fine this lesson I have learned and that experience now is mine thank you

**MOD** I'm a wreck. I have a huge crush on my BGF. A while back, we both really liked each other, and we hung out all the time and talked on the phone a lot. It was great, because we weren't really dating, but we kinda acted like we were. But then he kinda slowly stopped talking to me, and I found out he liked another girl. But I was okay with that, and I told myself just because I like him, it doesn't mean he has to like me. But after a while, I started to get kind of upset, so I decided it would be best if I tried to get over him. So I tried. And tried. And tried again. I hung out with other friends, I looked for new potential crushes, I almost went out with a new guy (That was a really bad idea. I told this guy I liked him, and he said he liked me back, but when he asked me out, I had to say no, because I realized what I was doing. I still wasn't over my BGF, I was just trying to use this guy as a way to get over him). I can't get over him. I'm still trying, but I can't do it. I cry all the time about it, and I've started to have nightmares a lot (I think it's linked. This boy trouble is the only major stress in my life). I think-- And I don't want to say this because it sounds like I'm some over-dramatic teen who wants to have a reason to hang onto her crush--I think I might love him. I've put a lot of thought into it, and really gone over my feelings, and I think that I might. And I don't know what to do. It's been like a year and a half. I want to stop hurting. Do you have any advice?

JellyBeanz101, ya I go to a french immersion school. It's kind of cool though and it's really good for your career later on. But then it can be SO boring.

y r my comments not showing up?????!!!!!!!!!?????
Posted by: amelia3 on 5/3/2008 5:03:43 PM
amelia- I know just what you're going through. this happened to me too, but a looong time ago. I'm sure she still remembers the good times too. Make new friends, but if u think u can still salvage the friendship then try to. Me and my old bff are now on the same LAX team and are in NCL together and we carpool from school and back to LAX and home from LAX every day so sometimes it's awkward(like when we're walking alone together or just wiht one of our moms in the car too, it's like... awkward silence). We still laugh about the things we used to do (like "practice" walking backwards, lol) so if u want to stay friends than use ur inside jokes. they'll most likely still make both of u laugh. to get over her being ur "bff" just make lots of new friends and hang out with different people. Or if u have the same group of friends it could bring u two closer together also

Posted by: JellyBeanz101 on 5/4/2008 9:23:04 AM
writerchickwithfeelings- yeah, I haven't written for a while either (except for these two poems that I did yesterday) because I'm pretty much over that guy I was writing about and I couldn't think of anything else until yesterday.
Posted by: M... on 5/4/2008 10:09:12 AM
M... I know what you mean. I gave up ever seeing my crush anywhere, and then the DAY I gave that up, I saw him at the store and it caught me completely off guard! But it was really cool.
Posted by: squeeners on 5/4/2008 7:04:55 PM
M... yeah, but it's so weird, bc i know this guy likes me... it's obvious on some levels... and he's really cool and i love love love love him!!!! or, at least, i really like him... oh, i want to be with him so bad.... but i mean, the grocery store... i mean, we talked... that's the weird part.
Posted by: writerchickwithfeelings on 5/4/2008 7:40:41 PM
squeeners... that's exactly what ahppened to me. i saw him come out of church, and i went to the grocery store across the street, and five minutes later, he was there... yeah, i think someone planned that... like god or something... bc that did not happen on it's own.
Posted by: writerchickwithfeelings on 5/5/2008 4:59:35 AM
what email adress do you send it to? i dont have microsoft word, so the link is no godd for me... what email adress should i send it to?????
Posted by: ambertm95 on 5/6/2008 6:48:40 PM
nothing comes from nothing so no one can be nothing no one can do nothing because something comes from something everyone has a purpose everyone has a way everyone has a reason or life life would cease to stay so something comes from something so everyone is something and everyone can do somethng because something comes from something
Posted by: milk&honey_baby on 5/7/2008 7:28:47 PM
that is such a good poem (:
Posted by: volleybaligrl on 5/3/2008 7:08:21 PM
writerchickwithfeelings- yeah, I didn't even think I was over him until I realized that I was checking out all the guys at an away LAX game that I had. I'm not soo sure about it anymore... but I'm not gonna write a single more poem about him! (hopefully)
Posted by: M... on 5/4/2008 3:13:00 PM
Sweet ~~~ You are so sweet I can't wait for us to meet Under the starry sky Sitting, eye to eye You'll reach for my hand, And I'll reach for yours And we'll kiss. So sweet. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jump ~~~ I jump so high I touch the sky I breathe in air From up here I'm like a bird, I'm like a plane, All of these things Make me sane I'm the girl you never see, Not until I'm higher, In the lee I jump. ~~~ ♥ Nick J is Off the Chain!!! ♥
Posted by: ♥ Stargirl on 5/4/2008 3:18:42 PM
Who I really am Thoughts of you Keep running through My weary head Like a river Do you see me Sanding near you The answer is no Your arms are wrapped Around her neck In a sickening way With love and tenderness In your deep dangerous eyes I wish you would see What you mean to me But that is just a fantasy Unravel your arms From round her neck And see who I really am
Posted by: pinksage33 on 5/4/2008 4:25:04 PM

Posted by: pinksage33 on 5/4/2008 4:29:21 PM
Great poem! It speaks a lot of truth! =)
Posted by: crzee4him on 5/4/2008 4:40:41 PM
M... yeah, i don't want to write about this guy... even though by fate i think we are supposed to be together.... my mom made me go grocery shopping with her... he was there!!!!
Posted by: writerchickwithfeelings on 5/4/2008 4:48:42 PM
writerchickwithfeelings- omg, I know exactly what u mean!!! Whenever I don't think I'll see him, there he is! and a couple days ago (this is after I "decided" I was over him) my mom's like "you should go to the baseball game, (his name) will be playing" (she didn't even know I EVER like him!) and that's when I realized... I'm not really over him
Posted by: M... on 5/4/2008 5:41:56 PM
M... I did... we talked for a tong while about a lot of stuff... he is so awesome!!! the grocery store though, that is what amazes me!
Posted by: writerchickwithfeelings on 5/5/2008 4:23:58 PM
**************MOD************* i want to submit a poem but i dont have microsoft outlook, i have aol mail. what email address should i send it to?
Posted by: ambertm95 on 5/5/2008 5:53:58 PM
writerchickwithfeelilngs- omg, I am sooo bad! this morning I saw him again and we were right next to each other and I didn't say anything! this is seriously messing me up! I couldn't concentrate in my first couple of classes just because I hate that when I see him I pretend I don't know him! and he's my brother's friend so I do know him... okay, I now promise that if I am ever passing right next to him I will say something!!! especially if we are both alone (like we were this morning)
Posted by: M... on 5/8/2008 2:14:43 PM
I'm sry but I think I have to write ANOTHER poem about him: look at me right now I see you pretending not to see me as I am pretending not to see you this just isn't working anymore please tell me you feel this too is this how you want it to be now? I'm sorry I used to ignore you and that I'm still doing it now all this pretending has to end I wish that I could call you a friend I pretend that I don't know you I see your face and look away is it really so hard to see what is going on inside of me I guess it is 'cuz it seems no one can tell what I'm thinking I can't just spell it out for you when I'm not so sure myself I know I need to stop this trying to reason my way out of things I can't make myself stop loving you my emotions just need to be felt so I'll wear my heart on my sleeve maybe someone will be able to see who I really am amd even if you don't I know someone will see the real me writerchickwithfeelings- okay I know I used "you" in this one. but whatever... I just needed to get this out

MOD (jessie) ur an intern!!!!!!! wat iz it like??? is it stressful, fullfilling, busy??? awhile ago it wuz my life goal to be a writer for Vogue, so when i would b in college i would intern for it, but i dont wanna do it now. whats a typical day of an intern for a magazine???
I'm not an intern anymore, actually. They just haven't had a chance to fix my username. But when I was an intern, every day was different. Some days we'd be reading all of your entries to the various advice columns and choosing the best ones to be answered, some days we'd be mailing prizes, and some days we'd be writing little pieces or brainstorming titles for articles and stuff!

Here I am this is much too high sorry, I can't do this fifteen feet is too far to fall I've always been afraid of falling "no" she say "u can't turn back now" my escape is blocked I have to jump slowly she counts to three one... two... on three I jump I don't even think about it I'm falling freely for two seconds I'm in the air then I've hit the water and I'm okay I'm more than okay I'm glad she didn't let me off I'm happy that she made me jump as I was looking down off that edge I was paralyzed with fear the pool looked so far below so small but I jumped and I freed myself I'm no longer afraid of anything I left my fear on that small ledge and was washed clean of any that remained I can do what I want be who I am say what I need to I thought I couldn't jump off that ledge but now I know I could and I did and I will

MOD! I wrote this poem and i want you to read it and tell me if i should chage anything about it! "Water and Sand" The Beach The place of water and sand The ocean sounds as if there music playing from a band Look at the fish, shells and beach grass that grows And the children that dont want to leave there sand castle alone When the water touches your toes you feel as if you feel refreshed and new You never want to put back on your shoes You think This beautiful place is just just filled with water and sand And when next summer comes you will think again How the beach is really just water and sand Tell me what you think and if i should chage anything! Any gl girls can tell me what you think too!
This poem is really good! I like it! -lauren
