Lost

So, apparently not too many people read this blog ...lol
that is all good ....
It is a good record for me....

LOST
9/5/04
I WANDER INTO A LAND FULL OF PRISONERS
TRAPPED INSIDE A CHARADE...
WHAT`S WRONG OR RIGHT?
POPULAR; AND JUST NOT MY STYLE
NORMAL IS... NOT EVEN CLOSE TO ADEQUATE

TO ME - THEY ARE LOST

BUT, THEY ARE ALL TOGETHER
SO THEY FEEL LIKE THEY BELONG

I AM ON THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN

I LIKE MYSELF...
BUT I AM PRETTY MUCH ALONE
AMONGST THESE PRISONERS
OF POPULARITY
I AM LOST

AND GLAD I CAN SEE .... WITH EYES CLEARLY

Amelia Earhart


Amelia Earhart is my hero because she took big risks and enjoyed her life! She did exactly what she wanted to do, and didn`t let others stand in her way.
MAY 1932
Amelia Earhart became the first lady to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.
1937
Amelia and her navigator disappear while attempting the first flight around the world.
Although I do not personally fly - I use Amelia as a reminder that I can accomplish my dream, even when it seems impossible to me or to many others.

About me:

Good afternoon!
I just thought I would take moment to introduce myself. My name is Laura Mansfield. I am a writer, amongst other things! I have 2 works in progress:
Amelia to Zebulon; which is a book about a girl named Amelia. Amelia is lost, and if you haven`t guessed, is named after my hero- Amelia Earhart! This is a book about a girl who comes to find herself after her love has gone astray. In finding herself she moves to a new town and finds herself with a whole new identity! She draws a picture of a wonderful town, wherein lies an old church with a beautiful steeple... On the top of which is an Ancient Gargoyle named Zebulon... In her most depressed state, Amelia befriends Zebulon, and the rest... is in my book!
I hope to have this book finished in the beginning of 2009!
It has kept me up many a night! I barely want to finish! Very exciting!
my second book is not yet named... it is a childrens picture/story book about a native indian who finds himself kidnapped - there is a huge twist in this kidnapping, and it leads to the theme that you can never lose your roots to your true self and family.
Will let you know as these books progress. In the meantime you can find some of my other writings here. I love poetry - so that will be a majority of what you will find. Please follow copyright law as this is a work of love and lots of time! Thank you!
