True Nightmare
by Allison Wong

I’m living with you
And you’re about to leave with her.
I sit by, out of site, sadder than ever.
She comes to me to show me her things,
They were old gifts from you;
She has more then plenty and says
“I’m the happiest girl in the world right now. Pick one,
A gift for being such a good friend to us.”

You are about to leave,
You bring me to see him
As he sits in her lap.
I try to hold back the tears and say
“Hi…How are you?”

I wake up.
Am I crying? I am.
I thought it was only a dream,
Guess this is a true nightmare.

Thanks.

Sandwich
by Allison Wong

A sandwich please.
On whole wheat too.
Cut the crust; it’s just burnt bread.
Put some mayo on that.
No mayo? Mustard will do.
What kind of meat?
Surprise me; make it good though.
Don’t forget the lettuce and tomato.
What? You forgot to get the lettuce?
What about the cheese?
Swiss cheese? Great!
Did you buy the pickles?
What about the red onion?
Great, put that all together now.
Can you get me a glass of apple juice?
Thank you dear.
What kind of sandwich is this you ask?
A sandwich that feeds a very hungry man.

Thanks.

Post No. 15 : Tired of people getting treated badly when they deserve so much more.

Just finished talking to a friend and I’m overloaded with information but I’m absolutely TIRED of my friend being treated unfairly and what not when he is a super guy and deserves a heck of a lot more!

This guy, man, he is wonderful, hard working, caring, and ever so giving. He does put people first a lot of the times and make sure to please others; I don’t know if he actually does that but it seems it to me. Anyways, after talking to him, people treat him so unfairly. Every nice thing he does isn’t recognized, he tries so hard but it’s never good enough, and when he has a life people will be saying “what the heck, get back here and be a friend!” 

I don’t get it. It blows my mind. Why are people so unfair and misunderstanding? No wonder nice people always come last and no wonder why some say “there are no nice people out there” or “a nice person is hard to find,” well heck, you’re not even seeing these NICE people. People just pick out all the bad things and ignore ALL the good about the person. Maybe not all the good but don’t think of them all. I’ll admit, this friend can be a dick sometimes but all the good about him weights out the bad. Don’t get me wrong, I love my friend, but we both know its true. 

In this society, we go out there and do things just to get to the top and benefit ourselves before helping others. We see all the good things in us and see all the good we do for people, but we pick at all the things that people don’t do for us and blow things out of proportion. I agree, its bothering some when you have a friend that comes to you, talk to you about their problems and when you want to talk about yours, they aren’t there. People need to see that there is always a reason for them not being there and it’s not always bad, it could possibly be something important that they can’t be there. We look at that as such a negative thing and just immediately say “Oh, they’re ignoring me” or “Ugh, they ALWAYS leave when I want to talk about my problems”. Why can’t it be “Oh, they must have something important to do” or “That’s nice they’re going out and doing something” WHY. Ugh. I don’t know anymore. I just think it’s absolutely unfair to see these nice people getting treated like crap.

Thanks.

Post No. 14 : An inside insecurity shows.

It’s been awhile since I’ve written something from the heart and here is something that I thought I over came but clearly it bothers me a little.

While in Korea, everytime we went shopping, I felt so insecure about myself. My cousin, Shadow, and her friend, Gloria, are shopping fiends and love to shop and I don’t blame them, clothes were cool and things were cheap. But while in Korea, I noticed that every girl were skinny and small and even then I know that Shadow and Gloria aren’t the smallest girls but I felt so much bigger. Everything around me were for smaller girls, girls with waist under 25, it was just like “ugh…I’m so fat.” Yeah yeah, I know, I shouldn’t care but I felt so ungirl like. I didn’t like them shopping, I didn’t want to be in a mall, I didn’t look at make up and all that other stuff. I started to feel insecure so I became quiet and closed and became very quiet a lot of the times. After while when it was just the girls, I opened up a little because they got me to look at clothes and showed me some clothes and got me to look at some and I even bought some.

After awhile, I knew that this is just the way people are here and they are naturally tiny and they go out of their way to stay beautiful. If I really want to fit the typical mold of beauty then I could go out of my way to do it. But I am happy with who I am. Even though I am a little on the chubby side because of the constant eating I’ve been doing. People will always have that part in them that want to better themselves and we could achieve it if we put our mind to it, but of course there are some things that people can’t do and we have to know that too. It shouldn’t matter what people see in us, as long as we are happy with who we are then that’s all that should matter. 

Thanks.
