Cut right to the chase

This train called life has kind of de-railed
I have no idea as to where it's located or where it's headed
I can't even remember where I last stopped
I'm looking out the window, trying to recognize these naked trees
but the wind is just blowing in the wrong directon, blurring my vision
I'm lost for words as if that's ever happened
I don't even know if I'm the driver anymore
because when I woke up this morning I was in the passengers seat
God please show me a map of my route
atleast let me know what's my destination
because the last thing I want to lose is hope
I'm on the verge of desperation
I'm asking why? Like I'm 5 again
So many questions left unanswered
I'm growing impatient, I've lost sense of my priorities
I'm lost, don't question me
I'm lost, it ain't hard to see
I'm lost, come find me
I'm lost, give me time
I'll find me, someday, you wait.

Talk about time flying....

Its been almost a year since I've updated anything on here and I must admit I truly missed this. I promise to dust this blog spot off and make room for many new stories to tell, as my life continues to unfold before me. 2009 was a heck of a year for me; I've met the most amazing people <3, experienced the most amazing experiences and lived the most amazing days of my life. I cant wait to see what this year has in store for me. This first month of January has been a roller coaster ride but I've got my seat belt on tight and I lift my hands up at certain points only to show that I'm still thrilled by it all. Even if I'm feeling kind of sick of the ride, I lift my head high and close my eyes, and out goes the fear that lays inside. It's the best moments that I replay dearly, they make me smile and give me strength to go on for the extra miles. If there's one thing I've learned in this month of January it would be that you make your own happiness. Laugh with those who are laughing, sing along to the music that plays the loudest, dance when nobody's dancing, talk when nobody is talking and Love like you've never been hurt.

That's all for now- Yours truly, Franchesca.

We're not all the same;

Hello bloggers, This is just a quick poem; I'm really tired and can't really think straight. I need sleep ah. Well here it is:


I want you to hear, what I have to say;
All people my age don't all think the same.
But who wants to hear my cry for attention, my cruel intervention?
I'm just a girl trying to find where to stand
Mind corrupted by the media and all the wrong brands.
I have a dream, I want change;
I have a dream, I refuse to keep living the same.
Hear the words that come out of my mouth;
My heart crys without making a sound.
Hear the gun shots in the ghetto streets;
The boys who no longer stand on their feet
Hear the plead of the hungry children
Who search the dump for garbage to eat
Cherish the silence in the battlefield;
those are hard to hold on to.
Look at the mothers on the welfare line
With nothing but problems to bring to the table
Look at the children walking the streets,
Lonely, abandoned, and their only hope;
To live to feel tomorrows sun beam.
I call out to somebody; anybody at all
Do you know who I am?
Somebody has to hear what I have to say;
Do you know where I stand?
Somebody has to see, My survival plan
I just want you to hear what I have to say
I want you to know, We're not all the same.

Silent crush

Okay so I'm up pretty late to be a Sunday night when I have to be up at 6:00 am tomorrow; but this just popped into my head and I couldn't go to bed without getting it off my chest. I have a momentarily crush; I called this one silent crush because it's towards a guy I've known for quite some time now. I never really looked at him that way until just the other day; I mean I always thought he was attractive but never more than that. Well this crush I call it nothing more because it's going to remain silent and eventually will fade away. What makes this crush different from the others is that I'm not making up this whole fairytale story out of it in my head; Like I know it's not going to happen. So I refuse to lie to my self. Here it goes;



Silent crush; I know your there but I can barely hear you.
Silent crush; I've gone to sleep so I could barely see you.
Silent crush; Can you here the sweet call for help?
The desperate cry my heart recites.
Silent crush; Why don't you speak?
Have my ears gave up all hope?
Have my fears been painted bold?
Silent crush; Why do you lie in the midst of impossible?
Could my past experiences, be held responsible?
Silent crush; Why do you seem so hard to tame.
Could this hopeless heart be the one to blame?
Silent crush; Please make a sound.
Don't leave me broken, on the ground.
Silent crush; I must confess
Your like a locked up, treasure chest.
Silent crush; I think that's all you'll ever be
My ears can't hear you but my eyes can see.

Feelings, Seasons, Phases

Hello, Bloggers; Um this poem I actually wrote it today and couldn't wait to put it up here and hear what you guys have to say about it. My economics class is 3 hours long so i did something more productive to stop me from falling asleep to my professors voice. So here it is: Read. Comment. Enjoy.


In the lonely hours of the cold winter days;
my eyes are closed but my heart is still awake.
I cannot see but my heart can feel;
the brutal abuse as my dignity peels.
Your heart is as cold as the winter breeze,
that brushes against my fragile skin.
Your lips as bitter as the salty tears,
that keep on running down my face.
But even the winter goes away;
just like my feeling's faded shade.
Eventually, spring comes along,
out come the birds to sing a song.
Even the trees grow back their leaves;
the flowers grow back from the ground,
and what is lost can then be found.
But then comes the summer and saves the day,
with a lot to do and a lot to say.
The sun drys up those hurtful tears,
your dreams have never felt so near.
Please hold strong and don't you fall,
cause' after summer comes the fall.
The wind blows harder, and the end seems farther.
Only preparing you for what is to come.
and then again, comes the winter,
like an uncurable splinter.
But it's been told; so you should know
that things come, and eventually go.
But baby these feelings have now grown cold
Not even the heat of the summer,
The rain of the spring,
The wind of the fall,
Can cause them to sting.
The feelings came and now they're gone,
The seasons passed just right along,
but that phase is what helped me write my wrongs.

My own first aid kit

Hello, fellow bloggers. This is my very first blog, I'm suppose to be working right now but I some how figured out a way to finally post something up. This is a poem I wrote for a crush I once had; The crush lasted longer than I expected and the feelings eventually slowly faded away. That was my only option after realizing it was all wishful thinking and I was the only one with feelings involved. So I decided to name this "My own first aid kit" because it was sort of me just coming to my senses and realizing what was always there and I was just too blind to see. After being able to see the truth my feelings eventually healed. So here it is: read. comment. enjoy.



Why do you keep on running, I'm trying to make ends meet?
If misery comes crawling, I'd kill it with my feet.
Why do I keep on chasing what won't ever be mine?
Why do you keep on racing, You've passed the finish line?
I have not, the slightest idea of what I got myself into;
I knocked on loves door but love didn't answer
I send love a letter, hoping it'll get better
It hurts to know love hid from me, All the things it kept from me
I thought you would stay, but you never came
You circled the territory but never stepped in
You were all talk and didn't do a thing
What was the point, The reason behind this?
It was all for nothing, a complete waste of time
The words exchanged all said in vain, The reason why I feel this pain
But I fell, hit the ground, learned to cry without a sound
I came to my senses got back on my feet and built brand new fences
Now I watch who comes in, and out of my heart
I hold my world together, cause' it once fell apart.
