And guess what we're doing in LA now

poetry

And guess who had to attempt a poem for a grade

me

I luckily had the option to pick and choose lines from songs and rearrange them so that's what I did

My poem still sucks tho because I was trying to follow a certain type of poem but after I was basically finished I looked down at my notes and realized that this type of poem had an ABAB rhyme scheme so I said screw it I'm not rewriting this poem I think if you do one you're not supposed to do the other types soooOOOOO

Here's my mess of a poem that may or may not be based of a kid whose one and only oneshot I posted earlier as Drabble #3 or smth

"How I Want to be Remembered"

If I die young

Remember me for the life I lived, not the money I made

Gotta live while we're young

Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Remember me for the life I lived, not the money I made

We all want to be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are

Raise a glass of wine for the last time

Take a piece of my heart and make it all your own

We all want to be somebody, we just need a taste of who we are

Legends never die

Take a piece of my heart and make it all your own

Until I see you again

Legends never die

Even as they fade with time

Until I see you again

Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be

Even as they fade with time

And wash away my colors

Know that I'm with you the only way that I can be

It's time, isn't it?

and here are the songs/quotes in order because I'm sure some people may be confused--

-"If I Die Young" by The Band Perry

-"The Nights" by Avicii

-"Live While We're Young" by One Direction

-"I See Fire" by Ed Sheeran from The Hobbit OST

-"Be Somebody" by Thousand Foot Krutch

-"Legends Never Die" by League of Legends ft. Against the Current

-The opening narration to Minecraft: Story Mode season 1 episode 1

-"See You Again" by Wiz Khaflia

-"Remember Me" lullaby from Coco

-"My Demons" by Starset

-"It's Time" by Imagine Dragons

I was thinking of throwing a good VLD quote in there too but I couldn't think of one that would work that wasn't from a fan comic about Shiro wanting death (WOW THAT'S REALLY MORBID WRITING IT OUT XD)

HUh I somehow only used Imagine Dragons once at the end I'm impressed with myself normally like half my songs I use for character themes are Imagine Dragons

Spoke too soon "Natural" just started playing XD 

I was gonna do a sonnet first but I needed to have 15 lines minimum for the collage poem and sonnets are only 14 lines reeeee--

I'm fairly sure I've said this somewhere before but remind me not to write poetry ever again unless it's for school apparently. Just tell me to go to here or that stupid poem book I did a while back and tell me to stick to prose because it makes more sense than this madness.

On a completely different note, I just remembered I need to plan out a full fricken story for graphic design by tmr so I can make a half decent cover (which is what that current project is) and I'm really hating that class right now because it's boring and I don't give a damn about typography anymore, as if I did in the first place (yes I'm using almost-curse words I'm so done with it)

Oh hey, we're having Chinese take out for dinner. I don't think we've ever gone to that cliche before XD

Auf weidersehen!
