"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."


I watch the icy water
as the warm yet cool breeze runs through my hair
the first signs of spring appearing to my aging eyes

Watching the block of ice in the water
slowly receding its enormous size
into nothing

As my childhood slips away from my fingertips
I shed my childhood as the ice sheds water
and I recede until one day

I will become apart of the soil
just as one day the iceburg
will become apart of the water

My english teacher was talking to the class about an example of connecting nature to something personal and I heard about the comparing to an iceburg and childhood and I thought I just had to write a poem about it.
