Forewarning: This piece is a bit long, sorry Tonight I lie awake with my room Filled with remorse Overflowing with hatred Pure and true No future for me No future with anyone No life no death No future with anyone Filling the room Anger stenches the air I lie in this room This room with stenched air No thoughts pass my mind No memories say hello A couple of sayings are stuck in my head Repeating in my head Wasted time for me No reason to stay Wasted time for me Too many reasons to leave Where has love gone Not to my room My room is filled Filled with wonder Wonder anger regret Have filled my room Love memories happiness Have left my room No memories of past angers No reason for present ones Still they fill my room Now they fill me Love drowned in the well The abandoned well of yesterday Dissolved into nothing Lets see who drinks the water I don’t want to leave My room is mine My last possession My only possession worth it My room is angry Its own anger Pushing me out Pushing itself in I can stay If I change Change Change what I don’t want to change It’s my room It should change Change first My room said yes, yes to change Yes to memories Yes to happiness Yes to love I fall into denial Denial of this change I want to believe Believe in change My room is itself’s now Its own possession No longer my own No longer my last possession Love Yes to love Love can be Be my last possession I want my room Jealousy fills me now I won’t let it go Fight to death I will If I share love Will my room come back Maybe so It doesn’t matter any more Now my love is my last possession Who wants it Love for sale Best deal will get it Do you want it Come and get it Come and deal with me Pay your price I don’t want money I want my room My love For you room I have a room now My room It smells Not like before All that matters Is in my room now My room My stinky room You want to visit my room Be careful It’s new I just got it Still no reason No reason to stay in my room There are reasons to leave Leave my room Wonder fills my room Maybe I’ll like wonder Maybe it’ll like me Together we’ll like each other Where are you room Are you with me Are you alone I am alone Fill me room Give me life with your breath Fill me room Stay with me You’re my room My last possession My only possession A possession worth it I need my room Does my room need me I’ll live in my room My room will live with me A future for me A future with someone A future with my room A future with you I lie awake in my room Filled with change Nothing but horrible horrible change In my room My room No one else’s My room My only last worthy possession My room |

Thank you Lucie & Justbleu for your comments. Lucie, I'm shamed that I don't know what movie you're talking about because I love Steve Martin. You don't have to apologize for anything. It is just that anyone that "knows" me will tell you that my room is my favorite "possession" because it has nothing but me on the walls and on the floors. A complete expression of who I am. |

I know you! I know you! so here goes my description of your room. Your wall by your desk has a pretty pink heart that i gave to you some years ago "I lullie li" it says. Your mirror has stickers that say "bite me" or something like that. The other mirror HAD pictures of me...r they still there? Now your walls have drawings of these things that you love so much. You have a sock drawer full of letters that brought so much pain to me. The picture on top of your T.V. set is the worst pain I have ever felt. The turtles I gave you are in a tank (trinity & trinity 2). The best part of your room? The best part of your room is in my memory bank. The part where I open the door, and the first thing I see is you laying on your tiny bed. You reach out for me, and we hold on, forgetting what's outside of your bedroom door. miriam galindo coronado |

Thank you, Miriam, for telling everyone my room! J/P You have a good memory. The letters, that I think you're talking about, don't have a home in my drawer anymore; they are 1000's of ashes in the air. The picture you dislike is somewhere in my closet now, hiding away, indefinitely, and one picture of you remains on my mirror: you sleeping. Oh, yes, I drew a hand, right next to my bed; it's reaching out and up. Maybe, one day, you'll see it. |

I have to clear something up with all the people here.. My turtles are named: Cancer(the big one) & Death(the small one). I know those names sound a bit harsh, but they're my turtles. Thanks, Miriam, for getting them for me. Just had to fix that with everyone. |

Cancer and Death??? I give you children so you could name them Cancer and Death? I don't think so. |

Don't you think that's one of the dumbest names you could give turtles?? Their original names are trinity and trinity2 but after i gave them to him he cursed them with such wicked names. You tell him Justbleu. |

That's the kind of person I am, fellas. Miriam only named the first one before I got the chance to name it. In faact it already had the name Trinity when I got it and since I was the new owner, I wanted to change the name and that's the first theing that popped in my head. The other one would feel silly if her sister's name was Cancer and her name was Trinity2. That just wouldn't work. I like the names, and they're in my room, but if you want them you're mmore than welcome to change their names. I wouldn't mind. A name's a name, for turtles at least. |
