In The Light of Day...

In the light of day,
When everything seems right,
All her fears are far away,
Except her internal fight,
To stay the happy girl,
With no cares in the world.

In the light of day,
She laughs and smiles,
But when she's alone and out of the way,
Her silent tears flow for miles,
The fight inside gets too strong,
She struggles to belong.

In the light of day,
Her friends don't see,
The voices are loud with what they say,
The isolated girl is no longer me,
The tears that continue to flow,
The pain and fear that seems to grow.

In the light of day,
She can no longer fight,
She cannot see another way,
With no hope within her sight,
The pain she feels is too much,
In this hopeless world where she feels as such.

In the light of day,
Listen to what I cannot say,
The world is cruel and they must pay,
With no doubt and without delay,
No more looking behind, no second glances,
To put this right, my one last chance.

Turning 25 on the 25th...

So I recently turned 25 and decided to ask 5 of my closest friends to give me 5 questions each (making 25, one for each year I've been here for!)

So Tanya (over at Tanya's Tea Party) gave me these questions:

1). If you won £1,000,000, what would you do with it?

If I won £1 million, the first thing I would is pay off my student loans and all the IOUs that I currently have. I'd also buy my Mum a house somewhere. I'd apply to study my Masters degree. I'd probably go on a massive shopping spree with my friends as well!

2). From what you have achieved, what are you most proud of?

I would have to say getting my degree from York St John is probably my greatest achievement. There were so many times I nearly gave up and even before I started, I wasn't sure if I'd even get into the university. It was such an amazing experience and I would go back if I could!

3). What attributes would your dream boyfriend have?

My dream boyfriend would have to be someone who made me laugh. Someone who was sensitive but had a bit of a bad boy side as well. The main thing that I would want in a boyfriend is someone who makes me feel safe and accepts me for who I am completely. Someone who can cope with my hyper moods but also who can handle me when I'm at my lowest.

4). What do you love most about blogging?

The thing I love the most about blogging is the ability to write. I love writing but blogging gives me the opportunity to share my poems, creative ramblings and ideas with the wider population. It also gives my family and friends the chance to see what I think and feel!

5). Did you have goals to do before you turned 25? If so, did you do any of them?

I had lots of goals for before I turned 25. I was going to be engaged in a place of my own. I was going to have a tattoo along with a job in either teaching or as a musician. I was going to be living in a city and I wanted to go travelling as well. Unfortunately, the only thing I have managed to achieve is living in a city! But I have travelled slightly to different places, more as holidays rather than taking a year or two just solely travelling!

Anyway, keep an eye out for the next instalment!
