Poems and Poets

Hey everyone, I'm back with another Saturday Snapshot*. I'm taking you on my trip to the OCBC Skywalk, in Singapore. This Skywalk is in between two "Super-trees", that are made of strong metal, and are a prominent part of the Singapore skyline. *This meme is hosted by westmetromommyreads.com View from atop the skywalk. This view is of the more secluded part of "Gardens by the Bay"

There was a time I knew what I wanted There was a place That used to give me it I ruled the world At least the one that was mine I wasn't alone But there wasn't a crowd all the time There was a time When life meant happiness Sugar and hearts That used to give me it -Poem Fanatic

You won't let me get a word in So I have to scream You won't listen just like that So I start to weep You stop caring the second I Contradict your speech You then think of your pride So you start to scream It wouldn't be my fault If you let me speak The second you deny my speech I will start to bleed But what you fail to see Is that you stopped listening So you started this whole thing. -Poem fanatic

I never thought That this day would come That you would end up Chaining my life I never knew That this day would come That you'd keep me And my thoughts a prisoner I never considered it That this day could come That you'd torment me For your pride I never had to hope That today wouldn't come That there wouldn't be a day When you'd refuse to listen I never felt That you would be my devil That you would be my enemy But that day has come -Poem Fanatic

I don't need an explanation I don't your guarantees I don't need your reactions I don't need an apology I don't need your helping hand I don't need your cheerful smile I don't need a favour  from you I don't need your make-up time I don't want it Whatever you're offering I don't need it I'm fine without you there I don't want it Whatever you say is mine I don't need it I'm fine without it in my life -Poem Fanatic

Hey everyone! It's time for another Saturday Snapshot, and this week I'll be sharing some more pictures of my trip to Singapore. These are some snaps of my "tourist detour". I visited the URA, or the Urban Redevelopment Authority in Singapore. My cousin encouraged me to go after having visited the place on a field trip.  This government office is open to the public, and they are able to view all the changes that will be made to the country over the next ten years. Among other things, there are games that help kids understand how hard planning is, a wall that takes us back in time and a 3-D map of the country. Let's get started!  I was really impressed with the whole concept of the URA. It's proof to the citizens that change is going to happen, and it gives the room to move themselves out of or into an area, and also allows them to plan efficiently for the future.

Drop the pebble into the river Skip the stone into the lake Watch out for the ripples Because they'll be there Shake the branch of the tree Snap the stem of the plant Watch out for the leaves Because they'll be there Break down the door Hammer in the nail Watch out for the splinters Because they'll be there -Poem Fanatic
