growing up

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.

Every evening on the news we hear of death and suffering. We can see this in our backyards and alley ways. Children die, beaten by their parents. Life is hard but harder for many. Drive by's and rape, theft and murder. When living in this kind of darkness, where does the light come from? Where do we find the strength?
Dreams have wings, but they are often clipped by the ravages of reality. This poem expresses the weight of the darkness and the longing for the light.

Somewhere In The Night
Somewhere in the night a child cries,A woman weeps and someone dies.Somewhere in the night, humanity hides.
Somewhere in the night , a soul screams,As people fade and die, lost in dreams.Somewhere in the night, reality lives.
Somewhere in the night loneliness dwells,As people die, no sounding bells.Somewhere in the night, she dies alone.
Somewhere in the night ...
Where is the light?

ok i have something i wanna get off my chest and what better way to share it with my good friends here in blogger land.
i meet this man in one of the website i was in and he gave me so much hard time on how i look like and my age, lets just say everything. i told him if it wasn't me in the photograph on my page how come i have a billion pictures on there with same person. he said maybe i have posted my friends pictures and that i am not what i said i am. obviously this guy got some issue. so he said lets just talk on the phone i can tell from the persons voice how they look. ok so i did just for g.p. then he called i answer he said you sound really good but is this really you? man at this point i have had it with this man. so i said lets meet since he dont live that far from me. i have one of my girl with me just incase. we meet up in the mall he discribe to me what he will be wearing. so ok when i got there i saw someone with same discription of clothing that he discribe to me but let me tell you its not the same person that supposed to be on the outfit he had discribed. so me and my friend was about to turn around and go, he saw me. and say wow it is you. and i say wow its not you good bye. you see my problem is not that his ugly and fat its the point that he gave me so much hard time about how i look and he lied about him self. dose everyone think i was very mean to this guy? is there an other way to handle the situation? what would you do if this happened to you?
