| Selflessness |
Selflessness- It's a big word in terms of definition. Never the less many people lack it.
It's normal to only think of one's self but now days the number of people who do is sadly increasing. Sometimes I ask my self how the world has come to the way it is now and why people act a certain way the do. Since I was a kid I was always taught that sharing something is more fulfilling than it is to keep it to myself. Often the phrase "sharing is caring" was thrown around like it was nothing but for me, I took it seriously.
When I was back in elementary school we use to have a good deed card, each time you were caught doing something selfless you would get a sticker. Once you obtain three stickers you could go down to the counselor’s office and pick a reward. I don't mean to brag or nothing but I always would be down at the office picking rewards, my good deed card was always full with stickers and I would do selfless deeds out of the kindness of my heart not just because I would get a reward. The self gratification I would get just from seeing someone smile was the best repayment I could receive.
For instance, in 3rd grade our teacher Mrs.Fukumoto was handing out cupcakes to everyone before we watched a movie during our Social Studies class. Everyone got a cupcake, except for my friend Kristina. A turn out our teacher was one cupcake short. It didn't matter how bad I wanted to just scarf that fluffy, savory and chocolaty treat in mouth. I decided to sacrifice it and give it to Kristina; after she ate it she gave me the biggest hug ever and thanked me. Not only did I gain happiness and a new sticker out of it I also created a long lasting friendship. Ever since then I learned that being selfless plays a very important roll in life and great things come of it. For this I believe that the less you focus on your self the happier you are in life. |

| Allusive poem final |
Born from a Queen, Pretty as can be.
Enticing features; Personality modest.
Beautiful enough to be envied by a Goddess.
Abundant attention, None of what she wanted.
Easily misunderstood, Difficult to upset.
In the darkness I often am hidden from my passion i am kept.
Love was tough, War was so open.
Weaken by animosity, Strengthen by tribulations.
No matter what i go through i got my head in the sky.
I will reach for the stars, no one there to tell me they're too high.
With my heart swelled with passion my faith is love, love is what i bring, love will conquer anything. |

| Physche Passion |
My mind is your mind, your eyes are the window to my passion.
Many take my words for granted, Many under estimate my power.
I will take your clattered mind at night and sort it before the day has light.
Taking my biggest fear and turning it into my greatest stregnth.
My soul yearns for completeness but to obtain what i need i must give up what i want.
My deeds of goodness will go unoticed but my deeds of failure scream upon arrival.
I shall take your crystal jar of hope climb to up the steepest mountain and obatin all hope you need with no cost. I will find you even though your soul is lost. |
