    Pregnancy restrictions

    Now that I’m pregnant there are some many things to think about with my health and eating habits. But, to make it worse… I have “chinese” pregnancy restrictions. Yes, I’m Chinese and so being so close to my grandmother and a little more tradition than most Chinese-American grandchildren, I am going to abide by her restrictions a top of my doctor’s restrictions. What do these restrictions include? Some of them probably will create “?” in your head, but nonetheless, many Chinese have abided by these rules and haven’t gone wrong. Here goes…. Cannot eat: watermelons bananas green beans too much sugar too much salt spicy food fried stuff soda (not…

    Life

    For a friend…. Life kicked my ass today And every day In every way Some days Life kicks my ass Other days Life just laughs at me Life is the biggest bully I’ve ever encountered And I’ve been bullied by a lot of people But no one has kicked my ass the hardest than Life I try to ignore the insults and just walk on by Like my momma taught me I’ve tried to kick Life’s ass Like my brother taught me I may win a small battle or two But, in the long run Life wins the war Life doesn’t care about my feelings Sometimes I think Life just…

    Why?

    I wrote this for a friend who wasn’t able to express their own feelings to their significant other Why do you say you love me But show me only anger? Why do you say you want me But throw me away like rubbish? Why do you say I’m your one and only But seek comfort from other people? Many years have come and gone And yet I am still here Standing by your side Covering your weaknesses Accepting your habits Looking the other way when you falter Many years have come and gone And yet I have not left Standing here, my feet held still in my steps Covering my…

    Loneliness

    Loneliness is a terrible thing It eats away at you inside Slowly but surely What ultimately results is sadness And the feeling of uselessness Even when you have a million friends You can feel lonely You can pretend to be happy And fool the world But ultimately, you will not fool yourself And in trying to do so, The feeling of loneliness enhances And your life continues in the road of sadness You begin to note The few times you are truly happy You begin to wonder The reason for living You begin to think about The reason why you are here You begin to question Why you should remain…

    Dear John

    Dear John You are the world to me Ever since the first day I laid eyes on you Your eyes saw through me like x-ray vision When you said “hello” Your voice melted me like butter You brought me flowers Wooing me like a love sick child Every move slick like ice Amazing me with your silky skin and shiny hair You came and swept me off my feet like I’ve dreamt for years Of my knight in shining armor coming to rescue me And bringing me the life of happily ever after That was the olden days Now years have passed And I’m now “your woman” Like I’m some…

    Wanna Man

    Every so often I think about what kind of man It is that I really want After all, there are plenty of fish in the sea So why can’t one of them be with me? Every so often I sit down to think of a plan On how to get the perfect man Then one day the thoughts just began Building in my mind – moving van after moving van So I sat down to make this list over a soda can And I thought, I wanna man That’ll hold me tight Night after night I wanna man that’ll sing to me softly And tell me that I’m al-ways right…

    Untitled

    There comes a time When life isn’t worth a dime In my eyes I see the world of hatred Nothing is sacred And I begin to wonder what’s the point to living When life seems so trifling With all the pain My heart and soul are stained With doubt and wonder As I continue to ponder Why I am here In this world with so many tears and fear

    Sweep

    I dreamt of true love. To have someone sweep me off my feet. I hoped to have my knight in shining armor one day save me from pain and sorrow. To take my breath away with just one kiss. Embrace me in his arms, And love me for all eternity. When I wake up from my dream, I realize how foolish I am to think that I can depend on someone else to make my life different. To make my life whole or complete. For my life to change – I need to realize that I must first want to change and be a better person for myself. Only then…

    Lonely Life

    Have you ever wondered why No matter how hard you try Life just never gives a break, But only continues to forsake? One day there’s happiness And the next is sad And no matter how much time seems to go by… Life only brings me to back To Loneliness…
