A.R.T. Program

LADIES and GENTS I think it's time to start thinking about our community I and starting a program for kids 5-12 in the Frankford area for art, music, and tutoring. This is a lot of work for me so I need you guys to cheer me on. If you have any ideas at all about things I can do a s far as activies or things I will need please let me know. I have never done anything like this before so I'ma need all the help I CAN GET.

I Am Free

As dark pillows the sky
I am free
Not afraid to stray from the light
Or explore the night
I plee
Only with god to forever
Remeber this moment
Fore I no I own it
I am me
The woman i become can only  give love and affection
with no reason for depression
Striving for perfection
I fall
Not because I am not worthy,
 but because perfection is not sturdy
and can not be reached as mortals
so I stand tall
knowing Thata you have my back
as everyone attacks
I take kind to the fatc
That you love me
I may not see it today
but oneday  I will lead the way
and my kids will thank me
Angel will be the name they rue
when i finally finish school
enough about them, enough about me,
I am FINALLY free

dream

MY eyes are closed and my mind is open but something is different.
My thoughts are not my own, the goals set are not mine, the accomplishments made were not for me
It seems I have lived my whole life for others not paying attention to what I want to do, or say
How I want to dress or act, Being controlled by all not just my parents, btu everyone.
It is hard for me to  feel disapointment from other people so I try to avoid the conflict by making them happy
I say quiet saying nothing as I always do
But when is enough?
I have beent told " why don't you dress like a girl?" because my style does not include skirts and dresses, high heels, and tight shirts.
I have been told "grow up" because I wanted to take my 7 and 9 year old cousins trick or treating
I have been belittled in everyway possible because my life did not meet the needs of others.
When is it ok to take my life back and live it as I want?
When is " my dreams of being an author  and a singer" acceptible?
I know being a singer is almost impossible but it doesn't hurt to dream, does it?
Have any of you ever had your dreams crush? do you know what that feels like?
The twisting of your stomach and dropping of your heart, I do not wish that on anyone
I say eneough is enough I am proud of who I am and who I want to become, no longer will I stay
silent as my body is used as a puppet, I want to be seen as me nto as what I am wanted to be.

YOu have to dream, anything less is unacceptible without dreams people have nothing to work towards.. Please if you are reading this send my your dreams And I will make sure they are heard and respected.

With this

Darkness  fades as peace comes to light
What once wasmis now again
What had most cower before it does not frighten me
With this gift that is my voice I will no longer be sad
With this love that is my heart I will nolonger be afraid
I will stand tall and love hard,
Forgiving many but forgetting nothing
With this tool that is my hand I will write my mind, place my fears into the open,
hope that all will see and applaud as we over come together.
So I hand the mike to you only asking that you use it, say what needs to be said and not what wants to be heard

What I am

A Lily Rose, Cat tail, Bolder, and Butterfly lay in a flat line across  the cool grass with morning dew still fresh. "I am a Daisy in a field of weeds, a strawberry in a bowl of dried prunes" she tells her self. "I have seen the future and am afraid of what is to come, but I know I can do something great" She picks up the Lily Rose and held it up to the sun. "I am a Lily Rose, sweet, and two great flowers in one, I am delicate and loved by many, but i am also one of a kind" She laid the flower back down  and picked up another one, a Cat tail. "I am a Cat tail my skin is touched by the sun, a brown so confident in it self and always standing tall. Like a Cat tail i stand above my surroundings" she put down the Cat tail  and walked over to the bolder, putting both hands on the side of it she said "I am a rock, strong and firm, I will not be moved. When put in pressure I will become something great, a diamond"  she sits by a leaf with a muticolored butterfly  resting on it. " I am a butterfly, I am beautiful and elegant, and I will fly one day" The girl stood up and walked upon the field  to a watering hole. There were grazing sheep, feedind cows and butting bulls. " I am a bull; I will not stop fighting for what I want , I will push and drive until there is no more competition. I will never give up or stop charging when I am close to my destiny"
