Trying Hard, and Never Giving Up


Trying new things is something I have always believed in. One simply cannot do anything new if he/she can does not attempt to try something new. Learning is all about trying new things and getting better. When someone tries and puts forth effort, it shows he/she, that learning is possible even if it does not go the way it should. All around, trying something new every once in a while really is a great trait to have, or a great thing to believe in.
             No one will learn new things without trying; it does not work that way at all. There is no purpose in it. I recall when I did not want to try a math a math problem because I did not understand it, and I never thought I would understand it either. My math teacher looked at me when she saw me sitting there in class, and said “One will never know without trying. That is what school is for.” I said, “Good point. I need help. May I get some help please?”  I received the help I needed.  My math teacher really did have a great point. If I never attempted to try, I would never know how to do that math problem. When I see that one tries hard at something and give up because he/she is frustrated, I tell them that story.
            Trying sometimes often comes with mistakes. Trying also shows that someone is putting effort into something. Sometimes the outcome may not be successful, but everyone still knows that he/she trying their best, and their goal will be met through hard work and dedication. Many of the philosophers and inventors that help shape the world we live in today have tried new things, and sometimes even made mistakes of their own. The only way their invention was a success was because he/she has gone back and analyzed what he/she have done so far and fixing what they did wrong. Asking for help also factors in to whatever the problem may happen to be. It is pretty much trial and error. That is as simple as it gets. Anyway, back to my point, without opening up and trying new things, it will be nearly impossible to achieve. It is just not going to happen if you are afraid to be tough and go for it. Just remember to be curious and try new things.

            Like I stated earlier, I believe in trying. Nothing new happens without trying new things. If one is in a dilemma where he/she cannot assess the problem and needs help, he/she is always in good company.

Help me, I don't know what to do! (You and I)

Help!
I'm trapped in a box
Confused,
I don't know what to do

You see?
Doing what God wants me to do...
It's hard, this sweet temptation...
I don't know what to do.

Help me!
I'm confused
Trapped in a box,
I don't know what to do.

---

Baby, take my hand...
It's okay, don't be afraid
Soon this confusion will be gone
We'll figure this out, You and I

We'll figure this out and do what's right
I know it's hard,
We'll do what God wants you to do
We'll figure this out, You and I

It'll all work out, you see?
Because I love you,
Together, we'll fix this mess
You and I

If Only I Could Drive

I cannot drive yet,
It is just not right
I have no where to go,
I have nothing to do

I sit at home bored,
Really with something do
I am just too tired,
If only I could drive...

People younger than me drive
It is a mess
All because of a car wreck in the rain
It is just not right

This is killing me,
It is all because of the rain
Rain or no rain
I still cannot drive

The Ugly Yellow Bus


Dedicated to all of you out there who are forever alone.

Sitting there,
Super lonely next to the giant red school,
So beautiful and large and watching over everything
The Ugly Yellow Bus smelling like sweaty athletes
Athletes who play in the stadium behind it

Land so Far Away




Where is this land so far away?
A place to get away
A place to take my hand,
And say were more than “Just Friends”

In this land so far away
Our scrapes, bruises, and scars will be healed
Our problems solved,
And we will live as one

In this land so far away,
We will continue to love each other
We can love like no other,
And we can be what we want us to be

Where is this land so far away?
Together, we must find out,
So come, take my hand,
And do more than just be friends

Her eyes....


Her eyes
Brown and beautiful
My hearts on a thrill ride

Her face
So sweet
It’s getting my attention

Her skill
So far from mine
But it still giving me chills

Her smile
Taking me away
My heart beguile

Her voice
Beautiful and clean
Pleasure for my ears to hear

Do I know her?
I’ve known her this whole time

I Want to Write (On This Cold Night)




I want to write,
Maybe a poem?
It doesn’t sound right,
So I just wont show them

On this cold night,
I can’t sleep
Because I want to write,
So I tried writing a poem

Going to sleep is a fight,
Laying here in this cold bed
But dreaming is a flight,
When I’m asleep

I’m wide-awake
Nothing comes to mind
Because I want to write,
I just wrote you this poem!
