Ali

My friend Ali is battling cyctic fibrosis. She's dying. She wrote this poem to her disease. I wanted to post it here so others could appreciate her talent and because where she posted it, it'd be deleted in 10 days. I wanted a record of her talent.

Cystic Fibrosis

Sometimes I feel hurt,
Not knowing what I did so wrong.
I never hurt any one,
Why must I be the one hurting.

CF what did I do to you,
Other then hate you for killing me,
How does it feel to know
I am never going see another Christmas

The pain inflicted on me,
 I can no longer bar.
Coughs feel like sand paper on wood
 With every breath my lungs throb from rips and tars.

Why cant u just stop all my hurting
You wont get me . I don't go with out a fight
i will fight! fight with all my might
You can try, but so can i.

CF you  can stand there, being all big and bad
But just remember I will stand against you  
And  standing beside me, all that care about me
So u want me, then take me but it wont be easy

 One day someone is going to stop you
And I'll be the first one to great you at god door
"U want in heaven?
Sorry go to hell"

Freshman year

From Bilbo to
Rat poison
Everyday in
School, the only reason we
Had to get up in the
Morning was often the
Amazing friends we made and
Nicknames we'd been given.

Yelling sex and other
Events of great amusement,
All year long, we had great frun.
Russo, Sayid, Jack, and Sawyer live to see another year.


Just a quick poem to sum up freshman year with my wonderful friends. :-) And two about dear friends themselves.

Joking around, picking on me,
Always with an air of love,
Cathartic though our lives may be,
Kim is always there for me.


Squishing straw wrappers
And spinning spare change
Years may come and go but
I know my
Dear Sara will always be there.


And two more I wrote.

Please don't mislead me, mylord.
Really, I couldn't handle it.
If one more beau breaks my heart
Never could I love again. As
Crimson tears spill on a crimson dress,
Everyone passes by, never knowing as I
Slowly, painfully lull myself to sleep and
Still I know tomorrow will be a new day.


Because of one word
Or one glance, my hopes and feelings
Unify to leave me
Never sitting still.
Crashing will happen later.
You never know what makes me bouncy.


And that is it for poetry tonight.

Smiles that won't fade

Smiles that won't fade
Laughs that never die
Dreams that stay forever
These are the things I wish for

These things may never come to be
But who can stop me dreaming?
No one controls my thoughts
No one controls my hopes

Smiles that last for days
Laughs that stick in my memory
Pictures prove that we were happy
Even when the days are long gone

Seasons may change
Winter to spring
But friends remain true
Long after the snow falls



Yes I stole the first two lines of the last stanza from Come What May from Moulin Rouge.

In memory of Charlie

Out they looked
Through the glass
At the day
Now in their past
Remembering the joys
And sorrows
Of all the time
Against which he borrows

Time is fleeting
Running past
Never guaranteed
To ever last
We may have an hour
Or we may have a year
When our time is over,
who will shed a tear?

Each day we must
Live to the fullest
We must enjoy each day
As if it were the greatest
We must live for those
Who came before us
Don't waste time
And please don't fuss

Live for Charlie.
Live for those he left behind.
Live the way he'd want you to.
Don't leave the world maligned.
Smile each day.
Don't ever forget.
Each day remember with a smile
He's not gone, not yet.
