Anchored

doodlegirl

My little boat,
Floating on the sea of life,
Teeters ever so slightly to the left,
Even more to the right.
Back and forth they go,
deeper and deeper they dip.
but something keeps a tight hold...
The anchor!
Oh, the anchor!!
How could I have forgotten?!?
What is it,
Oh, what is it?
What could it be?
Music!
Oh, music!
And writing!
Oh, writing!
And the places I've never been!
Oh, the places!
And things I've never done!
Oh, the things!
And the people I love!
Oh, the people!
And being alive!
Oh, the sensation!
And my thoughts!
Oh, so many!!
I'm anchored!
Thank you!
I'm alive,
Teetering,
But alive!
I have my friends!
I have my life!
Its MY life!
No one can control it!
And you know what?

I think that that's the best part.

I'm 13. I love Journey to the Past, Hey There Delilah, and Once Upon a December. I love the movies Scott Pilgrim VS The World and Anastasia."Life is one grand, sweet song, so start the music." ~Ronald Reagan"Life's greatest tragedy is not that it will someday end, but that most only live to follow directions and sometimes we end up totally lost." ~ Alex Gaskarth"Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking." ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr."Our street corners keep secrets, and our road signs only suggest, never deciding for us, never knowing if the destination to which they lead is where we truly belong." ~ Alex GaskarthAwesome youtube video(s) of the week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCmRIFVH4O4&feature=player_embedded http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FV-HPOHu8mY more…
