Dark Shakespearian sonnet

I hate the way you look at me now
I love the way you feel so near
I need you close so I can see how
You body, hard as steel, my dear
Your rough hard hands, around me feel
Your lips against my soft warm skin
You made me cry, now you did steal
My heart and what could've never been
To feel your love and to feel you here
Without you around my life is as dust
But when you're with me I feel no pain
Just joy and love, with desire and lust
I do not know why, I do not know how
But what I do know is I need you now

Deportation Laws

The deportation laws of the United States are extremely harsh and were said to focus on immigrants who have a criminal record, not innocent college age girls and their mothers. They should focus more on people who are wreaking havoc and sending the U.S. into a state of distress.  Although i feel that immigrants should stay in their own country, if they marry a U.S. citizen and have children that are born in America then the parents should not have to be separated and the children forced to live with only one parent.  Why do the immigrants who have a family, a house, and a job have to leave? In Texas the children of immigrants can get money from the U.S. government for college tuition but in New York a young woman and her mother were deported just for living in New York when they were from Bangladesh. ...http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/queens/2011/09/29/2011-09-29_deportation_would_force_19yearold_and_mom_to_leave_everything_i_know_including_d.html

Dating Dilemas (high school)

Why are people so ready to date in high school? When my boyfriend asked me out the first time I turned him down because I was so sure that once we started dating one of us would do something to hurt the other.  I always feel like after I start dating someone I am just sitting there waiting for the break-up to happen.  Most of the time I am so worried about breaking up that I forget to enjoy the relationship.  I know a lot of girls who are afraid of falling for a boy and then getting their heart stomped on.  I am one of those girls.  I worry that if that if i am talking to another boy my significant other will think I am cheating on him.  (Its happened before)  High school is supposed to be fun but with all of the pressure from other teenagers about having a boyfriend its difficult to enjoy being there. Being in high school doesn't help what with all of the rumors and jealousy flying around the school.  Some people start rumors just because they are mad that someone else is happy and they aren't.  I've noticed that quite a few girls at my school are extremely desperate to be in a relationship but then as soon as they get in to one they start looking for a guy to cheat on their new boyfriend with.  I don't understand why they would go out with a guy if they were just going to cheat on him.  They need to realize that maybe the reason the boy asked them out is because he actually likes them.  Boys have feelings too...  Another thing I don't really understand is that here you cannot date.  No one goes on dates, they are just "dating".  I don't really think you can call it dating if you are just automatically boyfriend/girlfriend.  The reason most relationships do not last is because the way to find out if you like someone is by asking them on a date, getting them alone, and learning who they really are.  Most people act differently when they are around their friends than they do when they are alone with the person they like.  I think that people have plenty of time to date after high school and should just enjoy being friends with people rather than boyfriend/girlfriend.

High School...

The first day of school was just like any other. Boring, too long, and full of kids screaming about how their summer went and calling out to their friends. I don't know why kids here in Hawaii act as if they are the star of the school or that the world revolves around them, but well, they do.  To be honest though i was surprised that we haven't had a fight at our school yet. We normally have about ten to fifteen fights a week. It's kind of dumb seeing as the fights are pretty much always about the same thing, Gangs. There is so much pride here in the islands. i mean it seems like whichever city you come from you are automatically labeled as a certain kind of person.  All of the white mormons are from Laie.  The stoners are from Hau'ula and Sunset. The surfers are all from Haleiwa and Sunset. The kids from Kahuku are the fighters, and so on and so on.  There is almost a pressure to be the kind of person that your city you live in labels you as...  I don't understand why people have to put others down.  Just because you don't fit in with the rest of the crowd doesn't mean that you need to change who you are to be like them.  School in Hawaii is scary for anyone who is white. If you are a "Haole" you aren't as good as everyone else. You are considered to be "white trash".  I have been called that more times than i can count and pretty soon you just accept it and move on, but that's what bothers me. People shouldn't have to just accept it, or get used to it, or be forced to ignore it.  It just shouldn't happen!  I think that the school system should put up a bigger fight about racism and treating people as your equal no matter what color of skin you have or if you have a physical defect that changes your appearance.  I am a type one diabetic and i have had the hardest time with schools because no one really understands what diabetes is and they just think you are weird and strange just because you are having to test your blood sugar and take shots at school.  When i was diagnosed in elementary school the kids at my school treated me so terribly that i ran home from school everyday at lunch crying to my mom because i didn't have any friends anymore.  One of the boys in my class decided to start calling me "Diabetes Girl" and he told all of my other classmates that if they came anywhere near me that they would catch my disease.  So by the end of the first month of me having diabetes i didn't have a single friend at the school.  My only friend at my school was the nurse.  I would go and sit with her at recess and whenever i could get out of class just so i would have someone to talk to.  Kids at school can be the cruelest people in the world.  The teachers wouldn't even do or say anything they just pretended not to see any of it happening.  the problem with Hawaii being so laid back is that if a white person is being verbally abused everyone else will just turn a blind eye and say they never noticed anything happening.  We all need to be careful about how we label a person and ask ourselves "how would I feel if I was in their shoes?"
