Undefeated Love

Earlier in class, we learnt that communication is used to develop relationships and to exchange information.  From this poem, written by my friends and me, a love relationship is expressed and information in terms of emotions is sent out.
UNDEFEATED LOVE
Tears freeze on my cheeks
My Heart sinks to my feet
This pain hasn’t left my soul for weeks
I’m scared cause I’m about to face 'defeat'
I’ll take the blow to make revenge sweet
I’ll make the change, because I can’t be beat
Just a thought of another defeat, pulls blood to my skin
It forces me to try a lil harder, to say to myself, “I’ve got to win!”

Everything seems to slow down and my mind strays
The world disappears into nothing but a haze.
Things get more complicated and I’m lost in a maze.
My senses converge and I feel the ignition of an inner blaze
The only excuse I could give is “I’m going through a phase”
I don’t know what’s happening to me these last few days
But you give me the answer in so many ways
I have come to you, to ask for your help.

“Help me win this battle against myself”
Help me! Before this flame makes the rest of me melt
Cause my tears are defrosting and only you can relate to what I felt.
All the inward pain which I haven’t dealt
Resurfaces above my belt
They stifle me as they rise
Telling you I love you should be your Winning Prize…

The State of Emergency

I believe that the Prime Minister had a good idea when she proclaimed the state of emergency and perhaps this can help curb the crime level. Though many people may not see the importance of her actions, I can see some good in it. Besides, even if this idea turns out to not be successful, it was simply an idea with the hope that it would work. She can only know if it is successful if she tries it out. However, as a dorm student, I must say that this state of emergency can be very disturbing and inconvenient. I understand that going off campus could be very risky at this time. However, not only are we deprived from going out at nights, our curfew to be indoors is also affecting our access to the computer labs for example. There is also a problem with the internet on dorm which most times put us in a situation where we need to be in the labs to get assignments done especially when the due date is in a few hours sometimes.  It is at that point when this state of emergency can get very frustrating.

Quotes on Communication

Writing...

When it comes to communicating, I sometimes prefer communication via writing. Sometimes, when things tend to be difficult for me to express verbally with words, writing it out always seem to help solve my problem.
Writing is a means of expressing one’s ideas or thoughts using events or data. It is a means of effectively expressing yourself through the utilization of words. Words can be used for so many reasons :
·         Express
·         Conceal
·         Create a dream
·         To reject
·         To share
·         To agree
·         To love
·         To fight
Words can be used in so many ways,
How we use them
Defines our own way
To all those who read
Or hear what we say

Who Am I?

I seem blue because the sky makes me that way. I am wide and vast, and salty too. I’ve been on many shores, rammed into many rocks and bashed into many people too. I have life above me but even more life below me that have never been explored. I’ve been used and abused, I’ve been drank, spit in, and even used as a damp but this does not keep me from being who I have to be. I am the last resort. When the sky cries, the rivers bleed into me, the lakes overflow into me but I still take them all. But when the earth shakes and mountains vibrate I have no choice and I can’t hold it in I became a monster, I hid for a few hours but come back with strength and force and let it all out.
