Final of Allusion

Put down and doubted

Needing approval

From those who matter the most

Those with no hope, no trust in her

She's deeply in love with

Something she wants

All she's asking for is support,

The support of her hopes and dreams

She is put through task after task

Challenged to prove herself

Each one, she emerges victorious

She earns more and more

Maturity and Knowledge

Strength and Intelligence

With each experience

Her soul grows and matures

Ultimately she is left

Transformed.

Journal #30 - "Brainstorming for I Believe"

I believe that no matter what, you should be thankful for what you have, because there's always someone less fortunate the you.

I've noticed, especially with us teens, that we complain about ALOT, and about EVERYTHING!! School,our teachers, our parents, our lives and I've learned that none of us really should be complaining about anything, because we should be thankful we have a home, parents who care, teachers who are willing to teach us, even though their not getting paid much as other professions, and food on our tables. I've learned this lesson when I was growing up, because at one time we didn't have much&even now with the low economy we don't have alot, and it taught me to be extremely thankful for what I have, because some people have no homes, don't have the chance to be educated for FREE and go hungry everyday.

So we can't take things for granted, and we should be thankful for everything, even if we don't have as much as someone else, cause someone in the world is always having it worse.

Allusive Poem- Draft

Put down and doubted

Needing approval

From those who matter the most

Those with no hope, no trust in her

Little do they know

She's deeply in love with

Something she wants

Something she needs

Driven by pure passion

She cannot be stopped

She won't be stopped!

Her dreams are blocked

As negative thoughts from others

Dance throughout her young mind

Challenge after challenge

From victories and failures

She earns more and more

Maturity and Knowledge

Strength and Intelligence

With each experience

Her soul grows

Matures and Emerges

From a once dark place

Learning the ultimate lesson,

The lesson of Life.

Psyche- Goddess of the Soul

Psyche was a mortal that fell in love with Eros, the God of Love.After he thought she couldn't be trusted he left her and she had to go to his mother, to prove herself worthy for Eros. She was put through a number of trails, to prove herself, and after each trail, no matter how hard the trails were, she grew and learned more, allowing her to mature. I think she is like me because after any trail I go through, I try to find a way to learn and grow from it!
