Pura Vida

To make a long story short, I had uncles that the police had a lot of search warrants for especially 2. I remember as a little girl when the police would constantly go to my house and do searches for either of my 2 uncles. This is because both of my uncles used to live with us so the police had our address and knew that they lived with us. I remember one day that I was doing my homework in the living room and the police just busted in through the front door of my house because they had gotten a call that my uncles were somewhere around the area that we lived in. After they busted in through the door they ran up and down the stairs, flipping couches, beds and cabinets over to see if y uncles were hidden somewhere. They never found them in the house so they ended up leaving. Later, we found out that one of my uncles was caught but then later released.

The time investments that I am making today that are helping a bit with my stress but also giving me some sense on success is getting all my homework done and organizing my assignments so that I can sleep peacefully knowing that I finished everything I needed to get done. Time investments that I'm making that are helping with achieving future goals are expanding my learning by going to workshops, community service hours, charity events and communicating with business people that give me a piece of mind in the fields that interest me.

Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow — You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream; Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision, or in none, Is it therefore the less gone ?  All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand — How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep — while I weep! O God! Can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?

This poem mainly speaks on nature and humanity and how it can be questioned. It also speaks on how perception always isn't always what it seems to be. My first impression of the poem was that it was pretty deep because it points out and talks about certain things that aren't usually in a poem. It made me feel like I was reading a very detailed story.
