seams


I remember things in snapshots
I remember the torn seams and threads coming out
It worries me how fast things unravel
You are both separate and intact
The distance we have sewn together is so thin, we must realize that things come apart on their own
Everything has its own texture and hue of colour
I dream of having unbroken thread between my fingers
Though at times I wish to undo what I have made or said
Sometimes I just want recognition instead of natural silence
I want voices to chime in my ears, even when the snow falls and I refuse to listen
Those others I have dreamed of loving elsewhere, I miss only what they haven't said

  2. You are just a girl, yet you are capable of doing so much more. You have done, and you will do so in the future. You impress me. Keep striving to improve yours and the lives of others by being inspiring. Be the Abinadi of Olympus High.

    "At summer camp I learned everyone’s name the first day. Thereafter, I was recognized as a leader among thirty boys. The most rewarding aspect of leadership I observed was that I was trusted, respected and responsible; I was given an opportunity to inspire and lead, beginning with that simple act. A true leader does not compel people to follow. Through worthwhile action, but not by pressure, I want to lead. I believe the most challenging aspect of being a successful leader is developing humility, effectively communicating, and establishing trust. In doing so, a leader can, and will, inspire others to greatness."
