Im scaried

im scaried of messin up.
im scaried of not playing good.
im scaried of ducks.
im scaried to get benched.
im scaried of the future, and what will happen to me.
im scaried of not being successful.
im scaried of death, but who wants to die early.
im scaried of not makin money.
im scaried i would broke my bones.
im scaried that i wont past my math test.
im scaried i won't make it to the pros.
im scaried of telling everybody my business.

Im laying down these words like bricks in front of u.
In a instant they could fall.
But I’m trying to hold my bricks. But the world is a bunch of bricks.
I making my bricks rise, when I chill on my bricks and watch the others.
I see people next to me bricks falling. But I keep going, seeing the stupid mistakes people do.
Each brick I lay is something different. By the time I’m done. I want to have nothing but str8 green bricks.

i remember

I remember when I scored my first touchdown; I spiked the ball and got a penalty. I remember when I only won two games in a season, but 9 touchdowns. I remember when I use to be mad after games I lose, still do. I remember when I couldn’t play football, when I was younger. I remember getting beat up by mom, for not coming home after a party. I remember losing the game for my team. I remember beating chaminade.Now I remember when I had to write this poem.

i remember

found poem

I rise
Tonight I can write the saddest lines.
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Through nights like this one I held her in my arms
I kissed her again and again under the endless sky.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
Another's. She will be another's. Like my kisses before.
Her voide. Her bright body. Her inifinite eyes.
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.
Though this be the last pain that she makes me suffer
and these the last verses that I write for her.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

journal #7

The book gilgamesh was good. I liked how they had everything setup. I didn't like the ending tho. how the snake just took his stuff like that. they should have had him do something like have a fight scene.

summary

Gilgamesh is terrifying and all-powerful and he rapes his noble wives, he takes whatever he wants.Aruru takes some clay, moistens it with her spit, and forms another man, named Enkidu. he is just like gilgamesh. One day somebody seen him near a waterhole. so the hunter can't be a hunter because Enkidu is stopping the traps. When Enkidu finally appears, the hunter tells the prostitute to lie down on a blanket and show Enkidu her breasts. Enkidu comes to her and they copulate for six days and seven nights. When Enkidu's lust is finally sated, he returns to the animals, but they no longer regard him as their kin. They run away from him.Him and gilgamesh become friends.Enkidu tells Gilgamesh about the fearsome monster Humbaba, whom Enlil, the god of earth, wind, and air, had appointed guardian of the distant Cedar Forest, a place forbidden to mortals. When Gilgamesh hears about this demon, he is determined to fight him and dismisses Enkidu's warning that the demon monster is invincible. Gilgamesh accepts death as long as he leaves an indelible mark in the land of the living. Killing an enemy like Humbaba, or even dying at his hands, would guarantee Enkidu's fame too. Gilgamesh convinces Enkidu to join him, and the two heroes go to the armor makers and order new weapons, including enormous swords, axes, and bows. Together, they prepare to seek their destiny. Gilgamesh and Enkidu go to cedar forest, Gilgamesh kills humbabaa.Enkidu awakens from a chilling nightmare. In the dream, the gods were angry with him and Gilgamesh and met to decide their fate.The dream proves true when Enkidu falls ill. Overcome with self-pity, he curses the cedar gate that he and Gilgamesh brought back from the forbidden forest.Enkidu says the queen looked at them and asked who led them there. Enkidu tells the appalled Gilgamesh that he would have been blessed if he'd died in battle, because those who die in battle are “glorious.” He suffers for twelve more days then dies.
