I Got Flowers Today
A Poem by Paulette Kelly
I got flowers today.
It wasn't my birthday or any other special day.
We had our first argument last night,
And he said a lot of cruel things that really hurt me.
I know he is sorry and didn't mean the things he said.
Because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today.
It wasn't our anniversary or any other special day.
Last night, he threw me into a wall and started to choke me.
It seemed like a nightmare.
I couldn't believe it was real.
I woke up this morning sore and bruised all over.
I know he must be sorry.
Because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today,
And it wasn't Mother's Day or any other special day.
Last night, he beat me up again.
And it was much worse than all the other times.
If I leave him, what will I do?
How will I take care of my kids?
What about money?
I'm afraid of him and scared to leave.
But I know he must be sorry.
Because he sent me flowers today.
I got flowers today.
Today was a very special day.It was the day of my funeral.
Last night, he finally killed me.
He beat me to death.
If only I had gathered enough courage and strength to leave him,
I would not have gotten flowers...today.
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Please don't look the other way when you think someone is being abused. Step up to the plate and help...you may save a life.

I really love this quote....::uncomfortably numb::: "Quotes of the Day
Anouilh, Jean
Poor little men, poor little cocks! As soon as they're old enough, they swell their plumage to be conquerors. If they only knew that it's enough to be just a little bit wounded and sad in order to obtain everything without fighting for it."

Memory
Shouldn't be
Shards of a broken dream
Secret pain
Shouldn't strain
Breathlessly to scream
I know the where
I know the when
I know the who too well
Believe me or believe me not
I have a truth to tell
But Mother, if you cannot hear
I'll keep your peace
A day, a year.
Forever
If you doubt and fear
Convinces me to silence
Your Honor, if the proof you seek
Is rusted, lost
Too old, too weak, forgotten
Then I shall not speak
Dismiss my plea with silence
It matters not who hears the voice
Once I have understood
The thunder of the truth untold
Will echo in the wood
And judges naked in their robes
Will shudder at the gate
How thin the cloth of innocence
Against the chill of hate
Memory
Shouldn't be
Shards of a broken dream
Secret pain
Shouldn't strain
Breathlessly to scream
I know the where
I know the when
I know the who too well
Believe me or believe me not
I have a truth to tell

"Scariest Places on Earth"
We're just sitting here watching ABC Family (yes, while on the computer), and there's this show called ,"Scariest Places on Earth". I recommend drinking a couple of beers, or lighting one up to watch this show. Then don't actually watch the TV but "work"on your computer and just listen to the people scream...

i will always be there

my words,
our memories,
all given in preparation
for this life.
don't be afraid my child,
don't be afraid my son,
when you are all alone.
don't be afraid when things
are really hard.
just remember this my child,
all that i have given to you,
is only your's to keep.
don't be afraid
of love
of kindness
of wisdom
for they seem to prove to all,
that we're not alone.
when you are afraid,
remember what i said.
remember who you are.
you are everything,
you are wonderful,
you are brillant,
you are beautiful
and most importantly,
you are my shooting star.
the most
wonderful
being
ever born.

this cracks me the fuk up...the US rude?...ya think?...Americans have always been one of the rudest countries on this planet...I guess when people start cutting babies out of pregnant women's bellies, and the government seems to repeatedly turn it's back on you, and your so poor that you often reluctantly but necessarily pay for your kid's food with pennies...then you might cop an attitude...

Muhammad Furqan Riaz lives in Mirpur and he describes the panic that gripped his city.
People poured onto the streets in fear of further shocks. People sat and prayed.
But not everybody escaped successfully.
I heard that four teenage students at a religious school were killed when the minaret of the mosque fell on them while they were escaping. Other children were killed in this way.
I visited these collapsed mosques and I believe this is true horror."
