So I've decided to economize: bring all things to one website.

This is the new me: anafterwave.weebly.com.

It is much easier to post comments on there! No need to subscribe or anything.
You can also find other links to websites I'm on. It's pretty sweet :)

Peace,

Pink and White

I remember a soft pink glow-
the overcompensation of a tomboy,
The proper white ceiling and trim and bookcase,
The checkerboard bedspread and hospital corners.

White and Pink

Not Barbie pink-
Pink like a bold floral arrangement
that's leaked, faded, dried-
on these walls.

Pink and White

The closet-white-
the cover-up of a sinful child
painting angelic flavor
and hiding under sheets.



I'm just going to leave this one as is.

Lo es que lo es!

Sorry I've been gone so long. Spring break was exhausting (if not encouraging and amazing). I have been feeling pretty drained, but I'm getting there.
In other news, I have an 8am class. Every morning, I wake up wondering why I thought I had gained super-wake-up powers this quarter.

Anyway. I'm going to study some Ephesians and sleep. Buenos noches!

Peace o pax,
Amanda

ps. Can you tell that I'm taking Spanish classes again?

Nibs

I'm a retractable pen that's been clicked in,
but got stuck-a nib that can only just see the paper,
I wonder if Jesus walked the entire 40 days
If he slept, how'd he sleep, was it sandy?
Forty, it rhymes with authority-
and thank God I survived the teen years,
to come out without anarchist beliefs.
My synapses snap to the beat of ADHD
It's another round of temptation vs. self-control
Pretending to be OCD to dictate all but myself
In psych they said “Don't think of a purple elephant!”
I thought of a polka-dotted platypus-
too bad that doesn't play out here
Satan tries his reverse psychology on me
And it works-of course-I'm the freak in the classroom
and the accidental caterer to sin.
Focus, focus (throws Jesus around in the head)
But I was never that good at catching
But then, that's grace-Jesus catches for me.
