Poem A Day: Hunger For More

Poem A Day: Hunger for More; I wrote this when I was obviously hungry. I wrote it around 2004. 

 

 

 

HUNGER FOR MORE

 

 

 

 

My stomach is grumbling,

Like a storm thundering,

I need to get to the kitchen,

And cook up some chicken,

Some green beans,

With some macaroni and cheese,

Baked beans well seasoned,

I smell my next-door neighbor cooking,

And they teasing,

I need to unleash the inner-chef in me,

And make some chicken noodles with peas,

I don’t like black-eyed peas,

Because I be thinking they looking at me,

I feeling kind of Italian,

So, I’m going to get me some lasagna and spaghetti,

Some bread sticks on the side,

Can’t forget dessert, a slice of pie,

I’m a tenth French that’s why I eat fries,

Put a little mashed potatoes on my plate,

And I’m straight,

Add some cabbage, and I’m so gay,

I want to eat like it’s Thanksgiving Day,

With some turkey and ham on my plate,

Give me all five of the food groups, I’m nutritious,

But then again, I want cookies and cakes,

I’m swaying from my diet getting seditious,

Pour some Gatorade in my chalice,

And I’ll wait about and hour,

 My stomach is grumbling,

And moving in a continuous motion,

I’m just so hungry.

Do You Remember?

 Do you remember your first period? I remember when I had my first period. I was twelve, actually closer to thirteen. It was in September, my birthday is in October. I wasn't feeling well at my grandmother's funeral, and when we got home, I notified my mother that something was different. I knew what to do because she we discussed the inevitable frequently.  I got sick, I mean real sick. I was sick to the point that everything on my body ached especially my lower abdomen and back. I had diarrhea where I ran to the bathroom frequently, headaches, hot and cold flashes, and most of all I vomited to the point where it was just bile coming up. Not to mention a week/two weeks before I started my period, I would experience PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome). My mood swings were/are sometimes dangerous.  I remember dreading my period coming up because of how it made me feel; still to this day I usually have the same feeling. My period warranted me the option of staying home from school on the

My Journey...... So far..............

     When I graduated high school May 31, 2005. I enjoyed my summer. Then about August 25 I went down to Montgomery, Alabama to attend Alabama State University. While at Alabama State University I made friends and memories that will last with me for a life time.       Around the end of my sophomore year nearing spring break a representative from Walt Disney World college program came to our school. My best friends and I attended the presentation after we preregistered for our Fall 2007 classes. After we attended the presentation, we were invited to an interview. I went to my interview and the representative asked me to come and become an intern at Walt Disney World. I temporarily accepted the position. I called my mother excited as ever. I asked her do she think it would be a good idea if I went. She told me it was an opportunity of a lifetime and how could I even be thinking about it. I thought I would have to be take some time out of school, but she said I never been why not go for
