APRIL, 1989 THE LION'S EYE page 7 : fF Bs | ATRUE FEELING FALLING RAIN Creative Writing In our world SEC RET LOVE min love There are soft green meadows, “Scared of Death” One morning I awakened my body was terribly shaking Is this the morning, is this the one? the last morning I enjoy teenage fun. Is this the last day I’m able to cry? ; Is this the finale of wondering “why?” Will this be my last day around Am I today heaven bound? I sit and wonder how it must be to die- to leave the world suddenly; without a goodbye. To lie in a place forever, not knowing what is there. Some people die so young, it just does not seem fair. They take people away, these are people that you love . Will I reside down below or in the heavens up above? Who are the people that I called “they”? Will anyone be accompanying me along the way? When I do meet them - or will I at all? Will this be, a result of a devastating fall? Or will I know for a short while ahead - of the day they are going to pronounce me “DEAD.” Anonymous “Just Wondering” I wonder if you sit; sit lonely and scared I wonder if you really; really and truly cared I wonder if you think... I wonder if you dream... of the two of us forever I wonder if you stare... at the phone that doesn’t ring I wonder if you're praying ... or doing anything I wonder if you’ré smiling; wonder if you’r¢ down I wonder if you're caring and who you are around I wonder what you’re wearing and if you’re forgetting me I wonder if you’re blowing off that we were once happy I wonder if you realize how badly I am hurting I wonder if you're hiding... what you truly feel I wonder if your feelings for me... you're trying to conceal I wonder why we allow... pride to stand in our way I wonder why my life without you... consists of not one sunny day I wonder when we'll talk again... or will that ever be? I wonder if you were sincere... when you said that you loved me I wonder if you ever knew... how much I felt inside I wonder why we're not giving in... thanks of course, to pride I wonder if you’re lonely and if we’re in need of time ‘I wonder if you feel that me loving you is a crime "I wonder about everything; things both old and new I wonder if the words you spoke... I can trust as TRUE ... | wonder and sometimes lie awake ‘til dawn Quietly thinking of where we went wrong And hoping that we’ll soon embrace So these feelings can be forever erased. Melissa Sfida of our times together BEST FRIENDS Tonia, Thanks for being my very own friend : Thanks for being with me till the end Thanks for sharing all of my tears Thanks for your presénse while facing my fears Thanks for the emotions that between us we share Thanks for your concern and always being there I want youtoknow thatIlove You! the most Even when we argued and were anything but close Friends, Best friends, Forever we'll be Love and memories equals you and me There was nothing in the world that together we didn’t face Nothing in the world that could ever take your place in my heart. Love you always, Carm (fric) Carmen Simmons INVISIBLE When I speak, No one listens; When I take action, No one notices. In a crowded room, It’s as if I am not there. If I were to run away from home, Away from family, Away from friends, No one will care, No one will miss me. I might as well be...... Invisible.
