Don't mind us we're just spilling our guts

There's something about winter mornings. Something so easy and peaceful about them that just make me want to just sit and look out of the window, doing nothing but sit. I love winter weather, the snow gracefully falling, the way it covers everything like a blanket, the soft kiss of the cold weather on my cheeks, ears, nose, fingers, and toes. I like the blankets and hot chocolate that come with the territory as well. Anyway, I hope everyone had a pleasant Christmas, I know I did. I've also recently cleaned and redid bits of my room. I like change. Somehow it feels comforting. I don't have a poem today, I haven't been writing much recently, what with the whole winter break and all, but I will try to have something soon. Anyway, have a great holiday, and a happy new year.

Love,

Jacky.

"For all I thought I'd ever need, it's hard to face the holidays without...

Well I've left my last message on your machine.

It's hard to face the holidays, when you're looking for the words to say."

I've seen more spine in a jellyfish.

Ah, winter. I'm only one day away from winter break. Counting down the days until I'm finally free of school. I'm starting to finally think that it's time to start anew. Fresh. Back-track back and start all over. After all, maybe I'll like who I end up as this time.

Wake up and try out that new disguise.

You've never shown your face around this part of town,

and yet you're here all the time.

Watch out honey,

because here there be dragons.

A mapmaker's warning to keep wanderers within the lines

that they've so painstakingly drawn.

Don't go out there,

Because here there be dragons.

School is just another place in time,

a point that all must go through.

Let's see how long it takes

to spot who's the fake.

Not that long honey, just look in the mirror.

Hold your head high and be who you are,

they'll kill to see you fall.

Keep a watchful eye,

because here there be dragons.

Beware, beware,

all who dare enter here.

A dream isn't always as it seems.

One minute you're safe,

the next you're sorry.

But then again, it's just all in your head.

Well watch your step,

because here there be dragons.

Do you feel like you're missing out? Like everything good is happening somewhere else?

If you ever get a chance to, listen to Jesus by Brand New. Seriously. The lyrics and the overall sound of the song are like my ultimate relaxer. Just calms my mind down so that all of my thoughts don't start screaming in my head. Make everything line up in it's assigned order, making sense of my insanity. It's a haunting song. Beautiful, and yet to some, the lyrics are a little depressing.

I'm going to try something new today, just dabble into something new.

Teetering on the edge, glancing down as the end that was fading closer and closer yet into view. "Two feet on the ground, just stay still," I repeated. "I can't fall if I'm not moving. Nothing can go wrong." Stock-still, waiting, settling uncomfortably as the end of the road came closer and closer in my view. Magnified, the strips of light outlined my peripherals as I lurched closer and closer to where it all stopped, to where my feet would lose contact with solid ground. I glided closer and closer yet, my breath coming in anxious quick gasps. Almost there and I squeezed my eyes shut and suddenly, abruptly, I was in the air. The plane had officially taken off.
