I'm kind of excited because my social worker called me this morning to tell me that I now have a CASA and that I am going to meet them today at two o'clock. It was really funny because my social worker had called my house when i was up at the cafe, and my staff must have told her where i was because i was eating breakfast, and Rob told me that I had a phone call. It was just awkward because almost everyone in the cafe was staring at me.

Rhyme Zone Poem.

Blinking back the destruction of unshed tears
It’s her thought of desolation no one hears
Oh, the memories you could find in this place
But no one dares look upon her face

The sun never shines in a place like this
Thos rays of hope faded with his bitter kiss
Oppressed memories could confess the lies
Of this broken girl who no longer tries

It’s her own little world, where no one else is let in
A secluded place where all her suffering begins


The rhyme scheme of this poem is AAAABBBBCC.

Mirror, Mirror

by PoetryKnight

Mirror, Mirror,

lie to meand show me what

I want to see,

a world untouched,

un-harmed by love,

a world not cursed,

that soars above,

a world of warmth,

not cold as ice,

a world where hearts break once,

not twice.

Mirror, Mirror,

lie to meand show me what

I wish to see,

a moonlit night,

not pouring rain,

tears cried for joy,

not cried for pain,

a peaceful life,

a brand-new slate,

a world where love

can't turn to hate.

Mirror, Mirror,

lie to me

and show me what

I hope to see,

a world where pain

cannot occur,

where tears don't make

my vision blur,

where happiness

can't drag me down,

and love won't try

to make me drown.

Mirror, Mirror,

lie to meand show me what

I pray to see,

a place where I

won't need to feel,

where time and life

are not so real,

a place where I

don't need to think,

where into death

I'll never sink.

Mirror, Mirror,

lie to me

and show me what

I know can't be,

a world where death

is not a choice

a place where I

can't hear his voice,

a world where cuts

don't bleed or scar,

where I can watch

life from afar,

a world where I

can hide away,

to die again

another day.

Now Mirror, Mirror,

lie to me

and show me what

I need to see

reflect a world

unlike my own

where what is real

is never known.

Figurative Language Games.

The best figurative language game I played tonight is Drag and Drop Metaphors, because the game helped me to understand metaphors better. In order to play this game, I had to drag the endings to metaphors to the beginning. My final score on this game was 100%.

Another enjoyable figurative language game is Fling the Teacher, because it is a game that tests yoiur knowledge of idioms, homophones, homographs, and similes. In order to play this game, I had to label the example as an idiom, a homophone, a homograph, or a simile. My final score on this game was 100%.

My least favorite figurative language game is Paint by Idiom, because it was a boring game. In order to play this game, I had to color in a picture by answering questions about the meanings of idioms. My final score on this game was 16 of 16.

my winter break

My winter vacation was average. I stayed here at SPA the whole time aside from taking a few day passes with my grandparents and my father. During the break I spent a lot of time at the mall. I also spent a lot of time with my friends. For Christmas, my best friend gave me a skateboard and I spent the majority of the break teaching myself to ride it. My favorite part of the vacation was Christmas day because my dad came to visit me and I got more than what I expected. Because I didn’t really do much I would not describe my winter break as anything other than average.

never expect whats expected

today i had a great conversation with someone i thought hated me...
it taught me that i can't put thoughts into other peoples' minds and that i can't believe something that i don't know to be true.
just because you know someone and you dont talk to them doesn't mean you aren't friends...
today i found someone who cares about me, and i didn't even know it.
today was a good day ^-^
