I Am From

I am from a place where people rarely make it, a place where I can dream and have aspirations. I am from a place where giving up is not an option, where getting up is the only option. A place where I can showcase my skills, prove others wrong, show that I am truly "The One." I am from a place where nothing matters except me. A place where the word "fear" doesn't exist, where pain is admired, where I am as free as a stallion. I am from a place of diamonds and metal, a man's greatest appreciation. I'm from a place in which men have created. A place where the numbers 3 and 9 are symbolized as the games basic structure. I'm from a place where 42 is more than a number on my back, more than an identity, more than any lifestyle. I'm from a place where clothing is made to rip and get dirty. A place where your family isn't just your blood. I am from America's past-time. I'm from a mound, 3 bases, and just 1 plate.

Horse, Cow, Or 12 Chickens?

So Wednesday in my English class, I got questioned whether if 2000 years ago I would have a horse, cow, or 12 chickens. I chose the horse. A horse seems way cooler to have then a cow or chickens. Chickens are kinda useful but let's face it, who wants to eat chickens everyday. A cow is basically good for dairy products. You really couldn't use him for neat purposes because it would go bad from the heat because 2000 years ago, refrigeration didn't exist. The horse would be the best option because it could help you in so many ways. Traveling would be one benefit, and helping you hunt would also be a benefit. This is why I would choose a horse to be my animal 2000 years ago. And if you read all this I feel bad for you because I feel asleep writing this.... Dueces ✌

Piñata Poem

They made me to be beaten,
after the cake was all gone and eaten.
I get bashed repeatedly,
being robbed of my insides.
It makes the children so happy,
but always makes me weep and cry.
My insides are sweet,
which all the kids love.
I'm all broken and beat up,
candy falling from above.
~Luis Enri-K Matias
