I don't know what I'm doing....

Well, I know I haven't written in a while, and I'm so sorry, but I have had nothing to write about and I've been swamped with life in general lately(any one out there felt that way for like a whole month?) So, any way, I wrote a poem today during geometry- most of all because geometry generally depresses me, but I'm had an epiphany of self-realization. I realized that the way I present myself is the only way people know how to treat me-this being a bad thing overall when I put myself in the crule and disrespectfull hands of others. I reflected over how my image came off to those people I care about and who i want more than anything to respect me and look well upon me, and it wasn't a pleasent sight. I will try much harder to contain my craziness untill acceptable times-and I hope those of you around me will hold me to it. I realize that I am unreasonably spastic and obnoxious most of the time, and now I know that this is the way I am perceived all the time. I just wanted to come off as optimistic and happy, but I guess it didn't turn out that way. I also try to stop the perverse and uneeded comments sometimes given by guys who don't respect me in the least-or don't respect themselves enough to know when to shut their mouthes, and I realize that sometimes it's just not effective for me to be the one confronting them and I'd appreciate maybe an interjection from a friend in these times of degridation. So thank you all for readind this far. I hope you like the poem or can relate to it in some way.



SPEAK UP

Degrated-I hate it.
Every day something new.
I can't deny one thing
I never would do.

But you cannot see that
you sit there like stone.
Absorbing their lies
The truth is disowned.

I'm better than that
Respect me-I plea!
Don't hate me for them
Don't beleive them for me.

I sit here regretting
The way I've been born
praying for silence
yet knowing I'm torn

Torn from the truth
and left with the lies
But knowing I'm tainted
through your gazing eyes.

I can't make it stop
But I know that you can
Please save my life-
speak up. Take a stand.

Well, I'm Italian...so I suppose it's official.

Yeah, you guys beating the guys up won't make the problem go away. Respect may a verb, but I demand it. And I think that you, Kendra, should do the same.

Really? I though beating the shit out of them would kind of teach them a lesson....pain is an excellent teacher. I believe some internal bleeding and some missing teeth could teach respect quite well. Of course, Sarah, has the non violent demanding method...which works okay....less fun, but it works.

Shaun~I'm not justifying or condoning there behavior, its wrong. But,why would they stop if she does nothing about it. I know and all of Kendra's friends know that she doesn't like it, but how the hell does that do any good if the offenders don't. If she starts demanding respect, and they don't stop, you press sexual harrassment charges on every single one that does it.
The way I view the entire thing is that It's kinda like feeling sorry for someone who's house gets robbed although they left all the doors unlocked, the windows open, and everything of value out in plain view.

Sarah- Hmm....I see what you mean. Kendra does need to start toughening up....she's the only one that can start ending it. (Sorry, Kendra...but it is true) Of course if backup is needed, I'm always in reserve. Pressing charges would get the point across too, and that might get them labelled as sex offenders...and do much more damage to them then beating them up ever could. I love it.

Pain will get you respect...and make you listen...But I think that is it.

Shaun~ I'm glad that you see what I mean. Freshman year I pressed harassment (which you know isn't the same as sexual harrassment) charges on drew locke and brent poston and no one messes with me. Me and DeBruin can' fend off guys for her for the rest of her life.

Just so I wasn't clumped in the thing about beating guys up, I want to remind everyone that I was up for literally letting them know how she feels. If Kendra doesn't want to say anything because of her just not wanting to (whether it's fear i don't know, but that doesn't matter) then that's when I offer my services... I don't want to get in trouble for getting into a fight. That would be bad!

Same thing goes for all my other friends... I seem to get the point across at times. Then again, sometimes I'm too brutal as many people have witnessed.

To add a bit of an arguement to the open house thing... an open door and window does not mean it's fair and just to come in and job someone to prove a point. I tend to leave my doors unlocked but that doesn't mean it's anyone's right to steal from me just because I CHOSE to do so.

Everyone sees Kendra as a passive person. Obviously she doesn't want to hurt people, maybe even thinks it's alright to trust people, and it is not o.k. for someone to disrespect her just because she doesn't go around telling everyone that bothers her to go away.

I'm sorry, but in a small way this is as less her fault than anyone else's. Do you blame someone for being shot because they didn't have a bullet-proof vest on?

(Again, just the other side of the arguement... It's not fair to say that the weak deserve what they get)

thanks every one. i know very well that some of it IS my fault, however, and I could stand up for myself more, but the truth is, I AM afraid . I know that is no excuse and that i should have learned by my past, but i am admitting that even when i do have the "guts" to say something, people DON"T take me seriously. And i do need your help-no so much in the violence department, but in the spreaking out department. You don't have to, and I certainly won't guilt you into it, but I would appreciate your help-even just a word of it. ( preferably not a four lettered one...shaun : )

Again, thank you for all your input : )
your friend,

Awww...those are my favorites though.

Anytime you need help, I'm here for you....Sarah and Debruin can handle some and Costlow does have that harsh ass ripping way of talking to people, but everyone can use help...if you really want to "get the point across" I can be quite intimidating

let the guy say a four letter word...dont be mean......IE. cats, dogs, crap, hero, well you get the point.

...four. Four is a 4 letter word. So is word. Isn't that nice?

I think I may be confused though, now. Here I am trying to help and what do you call me, Kendra? Well, I'd rather leave that out, but I really didn't appreciate it. I can deal with people making fun of me at times but name calling is not cool at all. I just thought I'd let you know how I felt about it, even if you don't care to know.
