Something to Keep in Mind
I’d like to welcome you to Kelsie Lopez’s mind.
Complex, compulsive, convoluted; surely one of a kind.
Happening In A Land Not So Far Away
She sets out with great haste,
But to her dismay she is being chased.
Netflix, youtube and even tumblr
Follow her in great number.
They steal her focus as quick as a professional thief,
And leave her wallowing in her grief.
Fortunately for her a hero arrives,
Sir Tenacity he is called and he thrives.
Great Lives Cannot Be Lived Virtually
Like society, I stare at a screen,
but I also love to play sports or read.
I dream of traveling, like many teens
and a plan for my life is what I need.
With Hard Work and Spirit There Is a Way
The world digs for dollars and fights for fame
Appearances trump that which lies inside
Chasing the spotlight like moths to a flame,
Attached to our phones, and feeding our pride
Shadows and Demons
David woke with a scream, sitting up in bed. He looked around and at first thought he was alone, and he breathed a heavy sigh of relief, chills racing each other up and down his spine.
Monday Life Lessons
Looking down at her smile, I realize that I relish my Mondays with her as much as she enjoys my visits. Two years earlier, when a college bound friend asked me if I could help his grandma once a week, I never thought I would learn anything from the experience. By assisting Mrs. Coppolelli with mindless housework, I have gained more knowledge, about myself and maturity, than I ever thought possible.
Slowing Down: After Failing my Driver’s Test…
Sitting defeated in the driver’s seat, I reevaluated my assumption about what it would take to become a licensed driver. My stomach filled with dread over the prospect of facing my friends, my sisters, and my parents and telling them that I had failed. I imagined the sympathetic look on my mother’s face. Maybe she would laugh and tell me, “You’re like a car without any brakes speeding downhill,” an analogy which she frequently used to describe me, one that I had to admit was comically applicable to the situation.

#RealLife
Breaking news, this just in: nothing at all,
Man thinks to himself drinking his coffee.
What matters most? It’s not your facebook wall,
Twitter can’t tell beauty life shows subtly.
