Life Is A Journey! & Don't Wanna Be Left Alone!

          Is life a battlefield, is it a journey, or is it life? What am I saying? I know what life is, I know what life holds in my grasp! Life is a journey! That is the song I wrote long ago when I was 12, but it never came out I thought that maybe someone would take it! This is such a serenity of despair and life... because "life is a journey" Does not matter whether it is right nor' wrong! I have dreams of me dying, crying, being in pain, going insane, wanting to die, or even getting high.......... What is this crap? Is it an awakening in me  saying "Christian when I say jump, jump. When I say die, you die!!!!!" Who is saying these things is it the devil, demons, or is it me. I have many sides yes, but not ones that want me to die. Is that why life is a journey!?!?!?!?!?! You need to understand that maybe you may not be able to go through every single little detail in your pathetic, helpless life..... You need to understand that no matter where you are, you have someone by your side. You want to know who that is....... GOD! You know he will be with you even when your crying, dying, happy, sad, mad, angry at the world, or even when you want to kill yourself. Just know that life is hard and you might not get through it, but just know that he will be there for you. This is life we are talking about after all right ;D!!!!

Life is a journey,

to believe.

It means you must live,

not die.

Do you understand life,
Try being me.
I wish to die, but I know not to,
I cry everyday.
Pain, Hope, Despair, Life, Hate, Love,
A collage of hateful and liking words.
What was I saying...? 

Don't Wanna Be Left Alone- By: Christian Torres

I feel all alone.

I will never leave you nor forsake you.

 Hebrews 13:5

People all around, bodies on the ground............
Don't wanna be left, left in this world alone, crying about that one name on this stone.
Don't wanna cry nor die. Can't feel all alone, cause I'm never on my own.
Got to keep my head held high, to the sky..........
Don't wanna to be left, left in this world alone, with all my scars to be opened and shown.
Don't wanna be ignored all I want is you lord. Can't keep my head down, while I walk through this town.
Got to be brave, got to be strong, this is why I'm singing this song...
(Chorus:) Don't wanna be left, left in this world alone (3x)
Can't walk with dignity...
Even if I plea.
Can't walk with sanity...
Cause I don't feel free.)
Screaming in my ear, makes me feel so dear...
Don't wanna be left, left in this world alone, don't wanna be ignored nor unknown.
Don't wanna scream nor dream. Can't feel so happy, cause I feel so sappy.
Got to walk through this town, this place, with no happy trace...
Don't wanna be left, left in this world alone, like my voice is decreasing by one single tone.
Got to keep my head up, or my life will erupt-------!!!..........
(Chorus:) Don't wanna be left, left in this world alone (3x)
I feel so closed in...
Seeing your pathetic grin.
I feel like one dang sin...
Underneath this skin.)
I feel a closing in living this way, just by the way it looks this won't be my day...
Don't wanna be left, left in this world alone, feeling like my mind will never have grown.
Don't wanna be hurt nor being assert...
(Chorus:) Don't wanna be left, left in this world alone----------(3x)

I Won't Let Go!

  You feel like crap when someone important to you dies..... well that is how I feel right now!!! My best friend just died a while ago!!!!!! I would never let go of them because I really care about them they died from cancer I just found out.......... I cried hysterically!!! One question for the kids at home... Would you ever let go!?

    You told me to be strong,

That's why I wrote this poem not a song!

I learned to keep my head held high,

Even when I'm about to cry!

You held my hand,

But all I freakin' felt was sand!

You died before my eyes,

Hearing the doctors pathetic lies!

You told me not to worry,
Just to worship GOD's glory!
You knew everything to make me smile,
For a whole mile!
I made it out alive,
Only to know you did not survive!
I cry every night,
Waiting for your light!
Shine down on me,
And don't ever let me be!
I will always love you,
Even if it's the last thing I do!
Just know I won't forget,
Cause I picture you and me watching the sunset!
I Won't Let Go!

*Life Iz Hard* :,C

Sometimes, I Am Cruel!

   Sometimes, I Am Cruel.......

Sometimes, I Am Cruel.......

        This is my life and how I am.... If only there was some way to take it back to the past and change everything! Step into reality Christian, you know you can't do that...... That is when I think I am cruel. Life for me is hard and cruel... as my title says on this piece!

I hear people tell me it everyday, I don't mean it, I don't want to do it, I hate it, I hate myself, I hate my life!

        Sometimes, I Am Cruel.......    

And when I see other people are hurting I do nothing, you do nothing, we do nothing... but GOD does something.. he extends his hands and says " Come my child, I shall take care of you"! I cried when I knew he was with me.

Sometimes, I Am Cruel..... I should know how life is, it is when I try to stand up for myself but I fail in the beginning. I cry out to the sky praying for GOD to help me.

    But should I feel this way?

    Someday I know I will find out who I really am..... but I have no hope in the time being! You have the world looking at you, judging you, hurting you, abusing you, hating you, and verbally raping you. That is how I feel everyday, I feel like they rape my identity and hope. I don’t even know what I even did to deserve this pain. Do you accomplish your every need when you make fun of me. 

    Even your own friends would hurt you. Even I would hurt my friends. Hurt. Pain. Anger. Agony. Backstabber. Insecurities. Flaws. Scars. What does that mean? I am confused....... I take it as being a piece of crap. I can’t guide myself the right way how to take these descriptions, I need help.

    Sometimes, listen up, you need to understand that maybe you will not be able to accomplish your every goal in life so you can make it out of this world.

    After 7th Grade, I knew what I had to do, I knew I had to take things seriously. That now I told everyone who half of myself is... now in high school! I don’t need to even see the people who messed with me! I might be leaving Kannapolis or maybe North Carolina.  There really lucky because I was actually going to do something to get back at them. You hate the world for doing this to you so you get “revenge”! But let me get back on topic! I knew that I had some people who did not hurt me but still the need to understand who the heck I am.... They think that “Who Christian, no Christian is not that kind who would fight, or even do worse........” Flashback time! I was in 2nd grade........ One boy who never liked me always messed with me then one day he went beyond! So I tackled him and started beating him up......... Yeah! You may not believe but I was violent!

    Sometimes, I Am Cruel....... To feel weak, and just now verbally attack someone, and to know that you are more capable than that, like you can just punch someone, and they will be knocked out, instantly. I pray not to be this way, “Please GOD I need your help... I need you to help me....” I ache in fear, and pain but in some cases you need to know that I wanted to understand how life was just to be this so freakin’ cruel.....

    Sometimes, I Am Cruel........ In some cases!

    Sometimes, That Is Life.......... In some cases!


    I have one more thing to say and "no" I am not talking about that one particular thing. I am talking about the people I hang with! I made wrong choices yes, I just got a message from one of my friends who are mad at me and who hate me.... saying that they heard them talking about me and making fun of me calling me names and crap. Good friends I have right!
    I just want that one friend of mine to understand what they mean, what they said to me was a lesson! I feel like crap for what I did, I hope they can forgive me. I understand that I may not be the good friend with "patience" but I am a good friend who will fight to make sure that they will be alright in the end!!! 
  Another friend of mine, whatever I did to make you feel horrible and sad I am terribly sorry!!!!!

"So Do You Understand!" & "The Day I First Met You!"

Sometimes I underestimate myself in so many ways... I feel like writing a story..... Oh wait I am writing a story. Let me start off with something “so do you understand me?”

Do you understand me.....? I would take that as a “no”! As you already know I’m Christian Antonio Torres. A boy who does not know himself whether being bi, gay, or straight. Weird isn’t it, you maybe saying wow this guy is a total “fag” yeah I know that is a curse word but I say the truth not the lies/opinions. One thing is I don’t care what you say about me at all. I show my emotions to the public so they can see who I really am. Yeah I may have cut myself once or twice..... but that does not consider me to be like.. emo, or goth. It shows that you really want freakin’ attention from your friends and not your friends. That all they freakin’ say is “Why?”, “Don’t do that!”, and or even this “Nice!”. What is so freakin’ nice about doing that kind of stuff? Do you like pain?, Do you like attention?! I live through crap just because of my actions, I don’t have trust.... I don’t have freedom, I don’t have real friends! All that I have is problems, mistakes, and liars....”liars” that do drugs. That is not me.... I’m better, I’m stronger, and I’m smarter than them. 
The only true friends I have to say are Liz, Bethany, Kiersten, and others “that are not stoners!” I’m not who you think I am! I’m a leader sometimes a follower and always a wanna-be, and stupid! I want my family to know that I do love them, that I do care about them! I give them disrespect and when they give me a gift I disrespect in return. I just wish I was not like that...... but it’s my fault and always will be. My dad is sick and he is in pain and all I do is give him stress..... that makes me feel like freakin’ crap. How can I live with myself being like that? I get accused of making faces.... I don’t do that.. or do I? Apparently I must since everyone says I do! If only I had a time machine I can go back in time and fix all the crap that happened to me that I did wrong! Now that I wrote on this crappy piece of paper (actually computer since being published), I need to fix everything and change my persona and life!...... and this is how I will! “So do you understand now?”
Things To Not Do To Mess Up My Life!!!!:
1.Don’t Give Attitude!
2. Stick Up 4 Myself!
3.Be Strong!
4.Fix All My Flaws!
5. Don’t Stress Dad Out!
6.Worry About School!
7.Find Out Who I Am!
8.Ditch Stoners Go To Honors!
9. Don’t Act Like A Freakin’ Pillsbury DoughGirl!


   This is a new song that I wrote over Spring Break and I will be performing it for all of you and I hope you like it.... The topic is about a person and another person who are friends the first person feels different (love) but they do not know if the other person likes them like that. So the person tells them how they feel in song.

The day I first met you, I knew I fell in love. This is serious, don’t walk away, please----- don’t leave me. So long, farewell, so please don’t go-----. Got to give my heart a break, there’s only so much I can take, can take, can take, can take oh--,o,oh,o. Got to give my heart a break, my heart a break. There’s only so much I can take, so much I can take oh,oh,oh. Now were standing close by the window------. Somehow, somewhere, I know you will be there.

(Chorus:) Don’t want to lose my mind, because my life’s a simple rewind rewind rewind rewind- wind- wind o-------,o, o------,o.)

The day I first met you, I knew I fell in love. Don’t want to lose a breath, because of all this meth. Don’t want to lose you, Then I won’t know what to do------. Got to give my heart a break, there’s only so much I can take, can take, can take, can take oh------o, oh, o. Got to give my heart a break, my heart a break. There’s only so much I can take, so much I can take oh,oh,oh. When you stare into my eyes, there will be no more lies-------. Take it, or leave it, my love for you ain’t a secret.

(Chorus:) Don’t want to lose my mind,  because my life’s a simple rewind, rewind, rewind, rewind-wind wind. o-----,o,o-------,o!)

The day I first met you, I knew I fell in love. (2x)

Oh------,o,o,Oh------,o,o! So hold my hand, come with me and step on this small land--------! Got to give my heart a break, there’s only so much I can take, can take, can take, can take oh---,o,oh,o. Got to give my heart a break, there’s only so much I can take, can take, can take, can take oh-----,o,oh,o. Got to give my heart a break, my heart a break. There’s only so much I can take, so much I can take oh,oh,oh,oh. The way we joke around, my love for you will be shown on the ground-------. With your hands wrapped around my finger tips, and how you kiss me on my lips...... say hey, hey, hey, hey--------------------, o,woah,o,woah,o woah,o,woah,o,woah,o,woah,o,woah,o,woah!

(Chorus:) Don’t want to lose my mind, because my life’s a simple rewind, rewind, rewind, rewind-wind-wind o------,o,o--------,o.)

The day I first met you, you told me not to fall in love!.............

Hunger Games Movie!! :D

Wow it was the best movie ever! I loved it and it was great but I would agree with my friend Katlyn that they did not put every single thing and scene that was important in the movie! Although I loved it, it was cool and if they put a 2nd movie for it I will totally watch it! My favorite part was when Katniss got up and spun her dress to the show the Capitol citizens. Every character was great and a little different from the book! I really loved the movie though the mutations looked so real and  the Capitol people were really freaky just like the book said they were. When they got video on North Carolina that was so awesome they got every person to wear something that symbolizes that they are poor... I was sad cause I did not see Mrs.Harmon! I wish I was there....XD!!!! I be rocking it out!

Katniss Everdeen: Jennifer Lawrence- I loved her and when she sang the songs... It made me want to cry!!! Best actress in the Hunger Games!
Peeta Mellark: Josh Hutcherson- The second best actor in the Hunger Games... Got so many sponsors for the "star- crossed lovers"!
Rue: Amandla Stanberg- When she dies it makes me want to cry!! So sad..!
Cato: Alexander Ludwig- The most dangerous career of all... Strong but really absentminded! He is the 3rd tribute at the end, but eaten by the mutations!
Gale Hawthorne: Liam Hemsworth- Katniss' best guy friend... Who she really loves and he loves her back!
Prim Rose Everdeen: Willow Shields- Sweet girl.. The original District 12 tribute until Katniss her sister volunteers!

Star Rating: *****
I think that the book was better, and the movie.... SO HAPPY HUNGER GAMES!!!!
LET THE 75TH HUNGER GAMES BEGIN SOON!
*Life Iz A Jurney* ;D

When (Our Song)

When you kissed me for the first time,

It felt like I can fly!

When I laid my eyes on you,

I knew you were the one.

When you held my hand,

You did not let go.

Chorus: Cause this is our song! (4x)

When we went on our first date,

You said it was magically perfect!

When you hugged me,

It felt so warm in your arms.

When we layed on each others arms,

I felt safe and you felt safe.

Chorus: Cause this is our song! (4x)

When we gazed at the stars,

You said I was the brightest one.

When I said you were beautiful,

You blushed and kissed me.

Chorus: Cause this is our song! (4x)

My Poetry Piece 2! (When I Look Into Your Eyes)

When I look into your eyes.

I see your face,

Which makes my heart beat at fast pace.

I see the world in our hands,

Us walking on different lands.

I see the world tearing apart,
Which comes to my heart.
I see the pain in your eyes,
Which makes me want to emphasize.
I see the light,
Shining so bright.
I see a past,
Which makes me look upon the vast.
Thats what happens when I look into your eyes.

My Poetry Piece 1! (Categories)

Life can be hard,

but live till the full extent.

It may be a dream,

for what it may seem.

Love is good and bad,

but when you fight it's sad.

It could make you love sick,

or just plain sick.

Hope is when you stand up,

don't stand down that means you've lost.

You feel like helping the world,

but the world does not need none.

Freedom is beyond reach,

but you need to see the real world.

All there is, is chaos and suffering,

Need to say you will get hurt.

Courage comes within your soul,

GOD will help with that.

They say you can't do it,

but you can.

Poetry is your emotion,

and you standing ovation.

It lets you be who you are,

and let's you be not who you are.

Music is our personal vacation,

until there will be some evacuation.

It also lets you be yourself,

but in a different way of letting everything go.

Words are tough and hurtful,

but at some point you brush it off.

You need to ignore it,

not take it.

Me when I say this,

it means that this is me.

Not what they want me to,

cause I am Me.

From the day you held me in your arms,
You said don't worry and don't be alarmed.
I thought you said it was easy,
I thought you said it was fine,
and I now this life is now mine.
I pray every night,
asking GOD to give me might.
I also ask for him to give you strength,
even though you and life are at different length.
If you die I don't know what I will do,
all I know is that I won't have you.
This is all I say,
I wish you were by me every day.

A Thin Piece Of Paper!!!

                                                           A Thin Piece of Paper 

 "A pencil, a thin piece of paper, a writer, and a thought." These are the 4 key roles of being a writer and you should always know that. My name is Christian Torres, I am a true writer. I started to like writing at the age of 7, I always saw my sister writing and always thought "well if she is writing well maybe I should" so I did. Writing is a way to let me escape out of all my misery and hate. It let's me be who I am as this writer, I am undefined and no person can make me write what they want me to write. A thin piece of paper is my best friend when I am down and just plain annoyed by someone. I write about anything that comes to mind, and sometimes it might even be a song. As a writer it is my job to let the people see the true hidden thoughts deep beneath my brain, but not really deep secrets. Sometimes it might get out of control but I know that there will be editing in my life and my writing. People always tell me that "You need to wake up and smell the dang roses"... Well what if I don't want to, this is my body and I control it. Me as the writer expresses myself to the extent until I pass out and say enough is enough! I am who I am, so don't get in my way. I have potential as a writer and a singer in me that some people might not have. "My life feels like a chapter in a book, that will never be opened up".
     " A singer, a composer, a 15 year old, and a boy". These are 4 key roles of me and who I am in real life that I should take to mind. I am only one person in this body, so it is hard to live in this world. I say that to be one person you must have strength, honor, dignity, and hope in your writing. As a person you have the right to speak freely and calmly, but sometimes you can let out some emotion that is what I do. Writing is another way to let people know were you are coming from. I would mostly sing my writing because I write my own music. Just a 15 year old boy knows how to write his own music and write in general, mostly some boys my age don't even do that. I am who I am as a person, I love writing and singing my own music because I actually think I can make it big time, but I know I will never make it into that category. I have hopes and dreams of making it as a famous writer or a famous singer. As I would say in my mind that no person will ever bring me down from fulfilling my very own dream. I think it is time for me to make a new chapter into my life. This story is the beginning of making my new chapter in my new life.  I am someone who does not take "no" for an answer, someone who loves to have some type of fun or even an adventure.
      "A learner, a rebel, a person, and an undefined". These are 4 key roles of being a writer in my own case, but I think that is what people should have in there writing role. To be a writer you must have courage of what you are writing don't let people stop you, laugh at you, and even bring you down. That is were they the bully or in some cases as I would like to say is "snob" would win. I go through this everyday, but I know somewhere deep inside there is someone wanting to come out and stand up but can't. You have to be undefined for who you are as a writer that is what I believe, but most writers I see just write about random thing's that come in there mind. They can be from love, life, self-esteem, hatred, movies, and even a dream they had. I don't write about some of those thing's, but I do know is that I like to experiment with my writing. I believe that everyone should experiment with there writings, but they don't. If I ever get an opportunity to actually put my writing for showing you better believe I'll be on top of that in an instant. I think what I am trying to say is that writing and I are the best pair to be set up with each other. If I had a choice of marrying someone or something... it might be writing I know what it seems, but writing is a part of me that I will never let go.

"A pencil, a thin piece of paper, a writer, a thought, a singer, a composer, a 15 year old, a boy, a learner, a rebel, a person, and an undefined" These are the 12 key roles of who I am as a writer.

 One last thing I want to say, you need to know who you really are in this world... There are some things in life that may be hard for you to do. Even when they mean risking your very own life. I know it is hard to live in a world were there are people who make fun of you or even hurt you..... I had those things happen to me many times and I have to say it is really hard, but I know that I can get through it :). I think that there are some times when you get really over the edge and you can't take it any longer. As I would like to say, When you suffer, crying and pain, you learn that there are better thing's to do when you are sad.

* Life Is A Journey!!! ;D!!!!!*

ELA Showcase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! About Me!! XD

1. My 3 favorite post's would be:
   "Remember"-Based on memories.
   "They Judge"-Based on True Life
   "The First Time We Met"- Based on me and my best friend.

2. I am a creative writer because I put time and effort into my writing and my projects.
 "They Judge"- Well I think it was creative because I put all my feelings into one place and put it into a song. In this song I am basically talking about how people judge me for who I am. In one line... that was deep and it was "They judge cause you bi".

3. "Remember" & "They Judge"- These two show my growth as a writer because, I really wanted to show my writing skills. So I must have been successive :). I really put a lot of effort in my song's and I always will.

4. "They Judge"- Mr. Fulton wanted me to use Garage Band so I used it finally for the first time, It sounded great. So now I  might start using Garage Band for my project's.

       Now I am going to tell you about my teacher Mr.Fulton and why I write for my hobby. He is such an awesome 8th grade Language Art's teacher. He has always been behind me to write my best and always will. Writing would be my best hobby because I get to write and it let's me express my feelings onto this thin sheet of paper. I can be who I am, when I write and always will. I would never let writing go even if it means risking my life. :)
       I mostly write song's which is also called lyrics. I am a true writer and always will be. Many people say that writing would be wasting your life because you never earn money. Writing is a part of me I can let myself be free and express myself in so many different way's that people don't ever get experience.
      I am Christian Torres and thank you for listening to and looking at my project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XD

They Judge.....

They judge you for who you are, even though they don't know you.
They try to tear you down, when they think there right but their not.... no------..... their not.
They say that you are different even though your not, we are all the same.
You are perfect the way you are, you should not them get the best of you.
Don't let them see your tears, that means that they have won.
I see the real you, a person with feelings who is kind.
They don't see it, but only I do how about you my darling.
You do not care about what they say, but only I do.
You need to know I'll be by your side for rest of your life.
They judge you by your voice.
They judge you on how you look.
They judge cause you bi.
They judge you on how you walk.
Don't let them bring you down you are strong----------!
So don't let them judge you for who you are---------......
You are an angel, you are beautiful that is true but you are always judged.
Oh oh oh------.... oh----------.
They...... Judge you but you don't deserve this pain.
You stick up for yourself, and you never cry for help.
Yeah that's what makes you special because you are strong.
You don't need no person to help you.
They judge you cause your hair is weird.
They judge you cause how you sing..... Oh.
I'm telling all of you that I'm not taking your crap no more.
Cause I am strong and I always will be.
You'll never tear me down again....... you'll never tear me down-------
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.....

The First Time We Met!

 THE FIRST TIME WE MET

           The first time I ever met my friend Lenaya was at my Aunt Carol's house. She was my moms best friends daughter. My Aunt Carol thought we would be good friend so she set up a play date. We clicked right away and went to talking about things we had in common. Lenaya and I were both born in August, in the same hospital and had the same school friends. Later on that day we both said are see you laters, and my mom picked me up to go home.

          My mom and I moved in with Lenaya's family shortly after. Are friendship grew stronger every
second we were together. We would wake up, eat breakfast, go to school and share some of the same classes. We grew up acting like brother and sister. On one year we celebrated our birthdays together. Our mothers rearranged for a mini party of friends and family. We made our wishes, blew out are candles and enjoyed our presents together. Our mothers present to us was a relaxing day at the beach. We walked the boardwalk, went to a candy store, played in the sand and talked while tanning. We went home aching and looking a shade lighter than chocolate.

            The day I told Lenaya I was moving to North Carolina was the hardest day ever. We met at my Aunt Carol's house for our last hang out and for me to break the news. I pulled her aside and said "I'm
 moving to North Carolina". She turned around and hugged her face full of tears and I joined her. We joked about her coming in my luggage and us growing older living together. We said our final good-byes and I didn't see Lenaya again until my summer vacation from kms.
