Ok! So. In creative writing, we all looked at my poem. OHHH MAN. Let me tell you. I was really nervous for it. I worked pretty dang hard on it. Got slightly obsessive over it (Yeah.. you could ask my sister. I had her read it at least 10000 times before I thought it was OK enough to maybe turn in.) Well... I moment came. I had to read it out loud. Yes. I had to restart cause I FAIL EPICLY at reading out loud. I totally knew that was gonna happen.. Oh well. I got through it. So I read it and had to keep my mouth shut the rest of the time. which I realised now is really difficult for me.. But some how I made it through wile every one went though and picked apart the poem i spent hours on writing and trying to make perfect. Yes, people noticed my one spelling error. Darn... I was hoping no one would notice it... Oh well. Ok. few key points I would like to say that i didn't say in class.
1: There are yellow diamonds. They exist
2. The capitalizing on the first and last line. I did that because.... I like how that looked.... That's really it. Not gonna lie.
3. Yes, the three words where "I Love You" But how lame would it have been if I just said "Saying I Love You again" or something along those lines.... Yeah it would have been lame. But yes I looked at the papers and every one got it correct! It was I Love You! AWESOME yall cracked the code :D So give you're self a good ol' pat on the back.
So, yes I looked through ALL the papers every one wrote on. I loved the comments. It made me laugh when people tried to find the acrostic.... it turned out to be something like..
SITAIHITTWMMSYTHIIFTNISAIIETLTMS... yeah.. try saying THAT 5 times fast. Ha, yeah.
Alot of people said that it was kind of reminded them of Twilight. That makes me laugh.. Almost everything I write, draw or ANYTHING people always say it reminds them of Twilight. Yet nothing I do involves a party-hating-crazy-obsessed girl with a love triangle with a vampire and a werewolf. But I can see why people would think TWILIGHT! Because the emotions in that are so real. Not the obsession over a vampire man but the breaking up, feeling alone stuff.
I loved how people read it backwards and got something different out of it. I tried reading it backwards when I wrote it and it made NO sense to me, so I intended it to be read just top to bottom. When people said it could have been about death I went back and read through it. I can totally see how that would go! It makes sense, too. My mind was totally blown away.... OK not really but I though "Oh. Hey... That's cool!"
Ok, also looking back though the papers alot of people where confused as to why I changed the "font" for the word yellow. It was just so you wouldn't miss it. That was my favorite word in that WHOLE poem. So, even though it confused you... you still noticed it..... my point exactly.... :)
Oh, also. like 98% of every one said "AWESOME TITLE" or "I <3 The Title" and I would like to say THANK YOU!! I enjoy it very much as well :D .. Some people didn't get it. But one person in the class got it right. It pretty much ment like "Chasing Stars" but.. that seems so lame! LAME LAME LAME! So. Chasing Yellow. ooo gives it a mysterious vibe that you feel like you might need to figure out!
Another thing. On the part that said
"I can't help but think of you. How I loved you. I look at the empty spot next to me. The place where you should be."
I saw a lot of comments that said "Ugh. So relatable :(" and alot of relatables and sad faces. AH THAT MAKES ME SAD! How lame is it that every one has to know this stupid lame pain. It sucks! Why must we go though that?? I guess there really isn't a way to avoid it.. Either way though its lame. So, I'm very sad and sorry that any of you had to understand that misery of missing someone like that.
OH another thing.
The part that said. "Feeling alone. The silence. Nothing." alottttt of people said to get rid of the nothing part. But some one said this during class (again... I forget who.. SORRY so many people said stuff I can't remeber who said what) It is that feeling of being numb. That speical person was there. Then, with out warning. They are gone. Like, something was there then it just disapeared right before you can blink. It takes you a little to fully understand that its gone. There is confusion and yor left standing there trying to think what the heck just happen.
Also. I realize my gramatical error in the first line... It should be Lie not Lay...Eh... I know its not right but I like how it sounds the other way. Like you know. I like saying funner instead of more fun. Even though its wrong... I still say it.
Also, a lot of you asked who the person was in the relationship. Honestly. I don't really know. I kinda just made up people and a whole story that went with them. But honestly, poem. NOT. ABOUT. ME. some people thought it might have been about me cause of certain events that have happened in my resent past. But. Trust me. This was not about that.
Ok.... I think thats it... If you honestly sat here and read though every thing I just said, AWESOME you are cool! But if you have any questions or... comments. you should comment on this post(:
OH! ONE MORE THING!
