The Death Penalty

             The death penalty; a harsh punishment to those that have taken the life of an innocent person.  Although there are many people that believe that the death penalty isn’t humane or right, I believe that it a good thing to have.  The death penalty can help do many things for this world.  It has the ability to cut down the costs of prisons, get the murders off the streets, and we have the full knowledge and certainty that the criminal will never strike again.

             Even though it is a small reason to have the death penalty, but look at it differently than thinking about just saving money.  If a murderer killed someone in your family, would you want to have to pay to keep that person alive in jail?  You’re safe because he is in jail for life, but he is still alive and you are paying to keep him alive. 

             Putting the criminals in jail is not the only way to keep them off the streets.  The death penalty is the way to keep them off the streets for sure.  Now the death penalty is not for everyone, it is only for the crime of murder, because they have taken the life of an innocent person.  The death penalty is a harsh and heavy punishment but it is a good thing and it has to been humane and a painless death, which means that the person that is charged with the death penalty will die without major pain.

             Having the full knowledge and surety that the murdered will not be able to strike again is a reassuring feeling. To know that everyone in the area, your family, and yourself is safe from harm from a murderer is a feeling that anyone would like to have.  The murderers have a mind that doesn’t think like ours.  They have a desire and an addiction to the feeling of having the power and control of taking the life of someone else.  Whether it is the first kill or one of many, they need to be off the streets and they shouldn’t have a chance to get back out to the streets.  The death penalty is a good way to do so.

             Although the death penalty is a harsh punishment, it is a good thing to have in certain situations.  When the crime is bad enough, like murder, it necessary, as long, as it is done humanely. The death penalty has the ability to cut down the costs of prisons, get the murders off the streets, and we have the full knowledge and certainty that the criminal will never strike again.

New blog

Created a new blog.

HaveAHeart-StopTheHate.blogspot.com

Been talking about having a campaign about it and now I'm finally starting it.  It will definitely be slow at first, but I am hoping that it will touch lives!

Haiku's

Butterflies flutter
Beautiful wings shine bright
Rest upon my thumb


Arctic wolves run free
Majestic coat of pure white
Ice blue eyes of life


Luminous glory
Shining light in the night sky
Secrets hide sight


Butterflies flutter,
Experiencing a new life.
Unforgettable!

Completely alone.
Luminous moon above me,
Please bring me back home.

The little ones run,
When wild fires start attacking,
defenseless forests.

Prayer of My Heart

In this very moment
This small moment in time
I hold a tiny prayer
A secret prayer
A prayer so dear
A prayer of my fragile heart

Pain is a constant pressure
Lust is a constant fear
Compassion, constant desire
For tears are always here

In this very moment
This painful moment in time
I long to have you with me
I need to know you're there
I pray for loving hands
This, my simple prayer

Confusion swirls around
Pushing me to the ground
Holding me in depression
Filing my mind with such congestion

In this very moment
This very moment in time
I ask for your arms of comfort
I ask to know you care
I want to know you're there
This is a prayer of my heart
I pray to you, My Lord

High School Now, College Soon

Today, Josten's came to school to take order for cap and gowns, rings, tassels, and everything else you can get for graduating high school.  It is a pretty scary thought for me, to think that I am graduating and soon moving away to go to college.  It's a big step in my life and there will be a lot of choices made that will make or break my future.  I hope that I will be strong enough to make the right ones and keep my life on the right track.

 I have decided to go to Weber up in Ogden to pursue my dream of becoming a criminal profiler for the FBI.  Pretty exciting dreams I have haha.

Weber has the best criminal justice program and that is the reason I have decided to move up there and go to school, instead of going to UVU or BYU down by where I am currently living in Lehi.  The move is going to be a little difficult, seeing as I will be moving out on my own, but I think that I can handle it.  I have learned many things over the years and I feel that I am ready to go out and stand on my own (with the little bit of help from my parents, of course!)

From a little baby I have been taught wrong from right and what I should be like in life.  Now I am a 17 (almost 18) year old , young lady.  Thanks to my parents, I feel that I will be able to handle life when it finally comes all flying at me at once.  When I leave home.

Another Droplet

Another boy, another love

It's in all the things he does

Another day, another flower

I really like those hot showers

Another night, another bed

With him, I just feel dead

Another face, another smile

I thought I could stay here a while

Another thought, another doubt

It's him I need to forget about

Another text, another call

I failed to stop my fall

Another break, another upset

He's the one I can't forget

Another droplet falls near

This is just another time I don't belong here.

Stop the Hate

Well recently, as of 5 minutes ago, I have been watching videos on youtube about how Selena Gomez feels about all the hate videos, comments, and everything else that has been said that is negative about her.  This has happened to plenty of other people too.  Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Demi Lavato, and any other famous person you can think of.  All those are famous yes, but I am sure that if you ask one random person, anyone, they can tell you that they have hate comments about them.

Hating on people has become a natural act in this world today and I want to stand up and say that I am going to STOP THE HATE.

I want to challenge everyone and anyone to help me STOP THE HATE.  No rude comments, videos, or anything of that sort.  It doesn't do any good at all.  Hating on people only hurts the person and at the same time it is hurting you.  It may be a nice feeling to get off your chest that you hate someone or think they are stupid, but that only makes you look like a total jerk!

Hating on people is also another way to say that you are insecure with yourself, you are jealous, or that you don't like yourself.  To be able to pull someone down when they are just being themselves, is because you don't know who you really are.  Really?!? Is that necessary?

Come on people, STOP THE HATE, because all it does is hurt!

Life

What is there to talk about life?  It is crazy, painful, wonderful, scary, exciting, and every other emotion you can think about.  There is many things that happen in one day and many others in the next.  It's really hard to keep everything in check, I'm still at Lehi for those of you that are confused from my whole West and Lehi post.  I was very, very confused at that point.  I stayed at Lehi because of my brother, I wouldn't be able to leave him for my last year in college.  It just wouldn't be the same without him!  I love my little brother so much! He is seriously my best friend and I wouldn't be who I am today without his constant presence in my life.

Seeing as this is my last year at Lehi and probably in Lehi too, I have decided that I will make the best out of it.  There may be something huge and important here that I miss if I keep myself in the dumps about every little thing.

I am ready to move out though, I have decided that I am going to Weber for college to be in the criminal justice program.  I will be moving in with Mariah and maybe other people.  She is my best friend from West and is amazing.  We have fought before but that has only brought us closer together in the end.  Schooling is going to be expensive, but I'm excited for the days to come!

I found the perfect way to put both West and Lehi on my class ring! Which makes me really happy that I don't have to buy two rings! lol  This is a stressful time too, because of all the money that I will be needing to be able to graduate the way that I want to... I hope that it doesn't cause my parents too much stress, I am wanting to pay for most of it.  Which is one reason that I have been searching for a second job on top of my Shoe Carnival job.  I am top on the list to be hired at Sonic at the moment, he just needs to make sure that he would be able to afford me working there.  I hope everything works out for me!  I need the money to help my parents so much!


Apart from that, I think I may have found a guy that is interested in me.  He finds me at all the activities that we have together.  He is really cute and fun to talk to!  He has been asking me to go to the stake dance this weekend and I am thinking that I just might do that.  Just to see what he does! xD

All Dressed in Red

The dry amazing heat

The scorching summer sun

Beating down on our sun-kissed skin

Our bodies shimer

With the soft touch of sweat

A longing for shade

Or a dip in the pool

All dressed in red

We are easy to spot

For we are your lifeguards

We are proud at heart.

Holding Love

Love...

Who really loves?

Who understands love?

Who ever has a hold of love?

Hate...

Obviously the opposite

of love

But what is love?

Is love the sparkle in your eyes?

The warm smile on your lips?

Is it the pain of missing you?

The fear of losing you?

Love is powerful

Unbreakable

Undeniable and

Simply wonderful

So tell me...

When I am holding you,

Am I holding Love?

Forever

          Let me pray for you

But he was already dying

                    Why?

My body shuddering

                    All I can think of

Is wasted days in anger

          Never will I see his smile again

His palm against my cheek

          I don't have enough time

                    I never had enough time

I want to stay in this moment

          His body against mine

                    Nothing else

I'm not ready

          Not ready for his death

For I finally realize

          I choose him

Over everything

          I choose him

I know he's infected

          I know he has to be put down

I grab for the scythe

          As I swing the blade

His eyes open

Those impossibly green eyes

          Usually searching for me,

                    Now too vivicous

He now falls limp

I love him, but

          He is gone,

                    Forever

I want his hand

          To feel him one last time

His fingers laced through mine

          But he is too far away

I wonder if there ever was

                    A crueler world

Than one that forces us

                    To kill

The people we love most.

Taming a Putty Tat

Taming a putty tat

Is timple!

Timple as can be

All you gotta do is tmile.

Tweety spoke with confidence,

With cats ten time taller,

Ten time intimidating,

And ten times fierce.

Standing, sitting, laying

Obediently behind him.

A putty tat 

Under'tands but little information

They tase bird and mice

Because they are easy targets

To tame your putty tat

You gotta tand your ground!

Tweety looks at the cats,

They shake,

They fear this tiny yellow bird

Causing the crowd to start up

In an uproar.

Tweety-bird has finally learned to tame

The huge and intimidating lion family!

Scrapped and Bloody

I was running

Down the side of my house

           Playing a game

With my brothers

I tripped

Hit the ground

Sliding

My knee scrapped

And bloody

I was screaming

At the top of my lungs

My family

Came running

My parents

           Getting there first

To help me

Getting patched and cleaned up

With the memory

           Still present on my right knee.

Bitter Disappointment

As luck would have it

I lost my heart to

The babe in the woods

My badge of honor

Is like a broken record

His heart was as black as coal

With blood on his hands

He held my bleeding heart

He was big as life

Before lies slipped through the cracks

My bare bones now shiver

At the bitter disappointment

Forever in Her Heart

Lost love is hard to find

Lies and secrets tear apart

Leacing broken spirits behind

Eyes losing luminosity

Hearts cracking down the spine

All hell breaks loose

As the tears start to fall

Lies never last

Lust tends to crash

Her spirit shakes as

His voice echoes

Forever in her heart

Me

Chelsea

Cute, Crazy

Creating, Ispiring, Performing 

I adore Tweety-bird

Me

Breezes Bring

The soft gentle touch of a rose

          Breezes bringing pleasant scents to my nose

The strong but careful touch of your hand

Pounding of my heart have began

Familiar scents now surrounding

          Not too much, but I'm drowning

The sparkle in your eyes

          Reveal there are no lies

Your heart is like a beautiful rose

          With breezes bring pleasant scents to my nose.

Colors of a Rose

Red, yellow, orange, white

Possible colors of a rose

Small blooming, budding flowers

Here for now, but till tomorrow

The last scents of roses

Fill the air

Before the harsh winter

Snow kills and buries all

Red, yellow, orange, white

Amazing colors of a single rose

Silent Tears

Silent tears are seen

          Upon the hard wooden floor

Neglected, broken, and unheeded

          No care lies in this house anymore

What once was beautiful and never forgotten

          Is now left with cracks of abandonment

Left forever with no chance of being remembered
