Sickness and Health, The Before and After.

• The five main points that I found interesting are:
  
• Babies and small children often died from a stomach infection called dysentery which was caused by poor hygiene such as drinking dirty water or eating unwashed fruits or vegetables.
• When there was no proof of the illness being caused by a wound or an insect bite, it was blamed on evil spirits, and if evil spirits were suspected they would use a spell which went like this, "Come on out visitor from darkness...Have you come to kiss this child? I forbid you to do so! Have you come to harm it? I forbid this! I have prepared a portion to protect it made from a poisonous herb, from garlic which is bad for you and honey which is sweet for the living, but bitter for the dead."
• Many young egyptians  suffered from lung diseases caused by hot and dusty climate.
• Mothers also tried to protect their babies by tying written spells around their necks. These spells were supposed to ward off diseases and accidents.
• Egyptian doctors could mend broken bones with splints, and knew how to heal bad cuts with wound-packings, bandages and poultices. They also often used lucky charms and spells as part of their treatment.

The similarities that the mummies and us have is that their doctors and our doctors use wound-packings, and bandages to heal bad cuts, and wounds.

The differences that we have with the mummies is that they seem to believe in spells, because they believe that that's what will heal them and will help them stay healthy.

You're Not There

I can see you

I can feel you crawling under my skin

I feel the pressure

As it rises up

Because you're not really there

Standing in front of me

Smiling at me

Huging me for the first time

Being in your arms

Feeling the warmth of your body

But you're not there?

Why do I imagine you?

Why can't your memory from the past just go away?

I guess your memory  will never fade

Because your half of what I am

But you're not there

You never were

To call me your daughter

To say/sing "Happy Birthday"

To say "How was your day?" when I come home from school

You were never there for me

You were never there for anything

Just a past memory keeps you alive,

But what hurts the most

Is that you were never there to say 

"I love you".

Smile

When I wake up

My first thought is about you...

I smile

When I go to sleep 

My dreams are about you...

I smile

I smile when I hear from you

I smile when I hear your voice

I smile when I see your face

I smile when...

You say you love me.

I love you, too.

But what's gonna happen when you're gone?

And that smile is wiped away?

Who's gonna make me smile then?

A lot of people say that a smile is contagious

But the only person that is passing it on to me 

Is you

You make me smile

And you're all I need

Just a pure smile from you 

Makes me happy

But I hope I make you happy, too.

Because I care

I care deeply

And all for just a smile :)

From you.

Why Is It?

Not even words can describe how I feel for you

I'm always gonna be here for you and I hope you know that.

But why is it

That I feel like you deserve someone better than me.

Why is it

That I chose to stay on the phone with you till it's time for me to learn

Why is it

That by the time we hang up the phone, I miss you so much.

Why is it that I cry for you?

Why is it that I hurt for you?

Why is it that I can't stand to be without you.

Why is it that I every time the phone rings, I hope it's you.

Why is it that I feel this way

Why is it that I feel like I f***ed up

If I did

Then I'm sorry

I'm sorry for what I did

I'm sorry for feeling these things

And last but not least,

I'm sorry for loving you.

My writing

I don't know about tomorrow
All I got is today
To write my feelings down
On a piece of paper
That soon will get thrown away
But does it look like I care
About what you say
Because I'm expressing what I feel
In every possible way
That I can think of
To make me feel okay
So I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna be free
In my own writing
Don't you see
That I'm gonna be alright
So open up your eyes
Because I don't need your help tonight
Leave me alone
And I'll be just fine
Just read and weep
So you can feel
What I know is real
In my writing.

Untitled

Darkness is closing in on me
As I'd wish for you to see
That I don't belong in this world
Full of happy faces and glee
I cry and cry every night
Hoping for "it" to go away

What is "it?"
What is it that I am afraid of?
And what is it that I need?
I honestly don't know what "it" is.
I'm afraid of the outside world and everybody on it....
And last but not least, I NEED to be alone!!!

With even the wind of a person passing me by,
I get scared.
With even the sight of someone looking at me,
I get frightened.
When I am alone
I feel safe and happy.
Nothing and no one can touch or hurt me
And that's what I want
But I can't have,
Because it's impossible
For people so close to me
To just let me go
So I can be alone
In this thing we call a world.

Untitled

I fight so hard to not be invisible
Or is it that I chose to be
A girl that no one sees
Am I the girl you pass by
And you say hi
Or the one that you pass by
And see right through my eyes
As the days grow longer
And the nights go shorter
I get more and more afraid
Of the outside world
I ask myself these questions
How? and why?
And why is it that I can't fly
Into my imagination anymore
Am I that afraid of myself?
Or is it the people around me?
My actions and words
Don't make sense
I'm falling into unconciousness.

My MesoAmerican City in Uxmal

This very large pyramid called "The House of the Magician" is really interesting to me because of the way it looks. It is a mayan ruin, that is located in Yucatan, Mexico. I would like to visit the pyramid itself because of it's structure, and the fact that it is so beautiful. I would also like to visit it because I would like to climb it, and feel the wind go against my face, and feel happy to just be up there. To feel peaceful without anything bothering me.

Lies and Spies

We live in a surreal world
Full of lies and spies

That break away
And try to steal our lives

We try so hard to make it
But it's so obvious
That all we do is fake it

Day after day
As the night passes by

We have our dreams
That open up our eyes

To see what's really there
And not in our minds

So we wonder why
We live in this world
Full of lies and spies.

Untitled

We go into the world not knowing a single thing.
Then we grow up and we think we know everything.

So many roads and possiblities that we could take,
But we don't know what to make of it.

We ignore everything and everybody
That doesn't believe what we believe is true.

We put thoughts into our head,
And we are neverendingly tantalized by devients,
Who desire the great or no good.

Suicide

Life is never good for me and this is what I wish you'd see.
Just let me end it all for I'll be happy in the end, I'll finally be free.

Free from all the pain and torment and the never ending battle.
No more dealing with the arguments and tears, I'd finally be through with it all.

You just don't seem to understand that by keeping me here, you're making it worse.
If i were dead and gone by now, I'd be happy, I wouldn't have this life, I wouldn't have this curse.

I'm already considering doing this, even without your consent.
I know for sure that once it's all over, my heart will finally be content.

So here I am, just sitting there, on my bed with a knife to my wrist.
Please everyone don't be upset, please don't be pissed.

You just need to know that I love you all, but couldn't handle it anymore.
Ok, here I go, I'm doing this for sure.

You just need to let me go to heaven now, hopefully God will understand and accept this.

Just tell my baby I love him, and I'm sorry that I couldn't give him one last kiss.
Tell everyone I love them, and that I'm sorry that I had to leave so soon and leave them all behind.

But I just needed to end it all and start a new life, so happiness I could find.

These are the last words I will ever be writing down.
I know they are harsh, but don't worry, rest your head, be at ease, don't make a sound.
