Rocking Body Raw Food – The 14 Day Raw Food Diet and Cleanse
Take a walk through the forbidden forest…
Smell the crisp night-time air,
inhale;
exhale.
Brilliant sensations sprint through my clay body,
ready to be molded into an emotion filled capsule of nature.
Miraculous trees around me sway,
as if a form of persuasion,
telling me to continue onward.
I march lightly,
carefully picking my paths without crushing to innocent,
beautiful blossoms.
Just beginning to bloom,
releasing their perfect scent into the air.
I brush my warm hand against the giant leaves of
the Oak.
Feel each vein running water to the tree,
keeping it alive.
Dew drips from the rain hours ago,
falling to the small puddle on the ground.
The crystal clear water reflects my image:
imperfect,
yet peaceful.
The small blades of grass run through my hands gently,
I feel alive.
Continuing ever on,
coming across an eccentric waterfall.
The uncontaminated water flows over the edge of the life-covered cliff.
Splashing in the inviting lake below.
Small, smooth rocks line the edge,
providing a flawless trail to the fresh water.
I submerge slowly,
taking in each precious second as my body is cleansed of immoral thoughts.
As my head goes under,
My hearing fades to a dull nothingness.
Tranquility.
My face rises once more above the surface,
allowing me to breath the still refreshing air.
I come to a mountain,
towering over the rest of the world.
place my hands upon it,
take in its beauty,
and my journey peacefully comes to an end as I rest on the boulder beside me,
closing my eyes and taking in each piece of seamless purity,
One…
Last….
Time….
Normally I wouldnt let a stupid comment like yours bother me but “cliche”? haha. Not one of my lines were cliche in my poem. I find it humorous that you would even suggest that. You clearly don’t write.
cliche
lol… you should be open to others opinions!
this poem was cliche. i was being honest. Just the topic is cliche! using “peace” and “nature” often times results in a piece being unoriginal, shallow, corny, and boring. Now just because this is the norm, it doesn’t mean every poem being comprised of this sort of topic is cliche. And actually, you’re poem isn’t too bad. Maybe i should have explained myself more… (ha i was too lazy) i suppose ill do it now then. This poem…. well… its descriptive and uses fancy words. there you go. But it has to go farther then that. In itself, this piece is quite dull, and from my experience of analyzing poetry this topic is soooo overused and few poets writing about this can pull of a really good poem. Also, as i said before, they tend to be sooooo corny! gah i can’t take it!
“miraculous trees”
“eccentric waterfall”
oo lalalalala how LOVELY! pretty fancy words i like to add on to nouns to make lines sound nice.
i wish i could explain this to you in person ha (i needa act it out). those just sound so so so hokey!
To have a good piece of writing, you shouldn’t just put pretty adjectives in to make a line sound better. Even if those weren’t your intentions… well… it still sounds kinda… meh corny (i used this word too many times in this comment). This is exactly what i used to do a few years back. i would just use strong vocabulary and describe nature, put in metaphors and similes towards nature… blah blah blah. And for you to say i don’t write, just because you got some harsh (and pretty poor too ha) criticism, kind of implies you have trouble accepting other peoples judgments. Don’t catch on to that!! Ahh i also was like that, and still am somewhat. By listening to other peoples opinions your skill will get better!!
this thing might not make sense im tired and i cant think.
lesson of the day boys and girls: dont be cliche, and dont be corny! hehehee
oooo wait! another thing…
i kinda stalked you a little and read your other poems
okay you have potential to be very good, but a big issue you have i think is you add unecissary (i cant even spell. this is what happens when you cant fall asleep at night and have nothing better to do than go on yahoo answers) words that throw off the flow in the poem. I am actually a big fan a free-verse and dont care if a poem has a rhyme scheme and blah blah but… you need a little rythm. Try letting go too? maybe just write without thinking for big pretty words… just write how you talk. if you talk like that, well… umm loosen up a bit i guess! That’ll make your poetry sound more natural, accessible, blah blah i need to go to sleep.
And don’t be cocky! thats bad. most people dont like cocky people. dont be cocky. and dont deny you are cocky cause many people (me too i just kinda try and stray away from it) are uberly cocky.
ok have a good night… not sure if you’ll ever read this… considering you find my first comment humurous and are so certain that i dont “write” and probably think whatever i say is a load of junk
haha im totally joking
unless you do think that
oh my god im gonna stop rambling
bleh
bye
oh also read some poems… see how they dont add on big fat words. like “of mere being” by wallace stevens (super popular poem you’ve probably read it) he never uses miraculous trees (lol im just messing with you)
okay im seriously going now.
I watched a movie about the legend of Lucy Keyes.I have alway been fascinated by this type of story. It is based off a true story. I went on the sites website where I found out someinfo
The following story is true:
Robert Keyes and his family moved to Princeton, Massachusetts in 1751. They purchased a large tract of land, some 200 acres, on the South-Eastern slope of Wachusett Mountain.
On April 14, 1755, Keyes’s daughter Lucy, who was 4 years old at the time, followed her sisters to fetch some sand from Wachusett Lake. Lucy never returned from the lake. She vanished in the woods that day never to be heard from again.
The towns-people made every effort to find the girl. Search parties combed the woods, the lake was dragged, all to no avail. Martha Keyes, Lucy’s mother, was pushed to the edge of insanity by her grief over losing her daughter. Every evening she searched the woods calling her daughter’s name.
Martha died in 1786. She never found Lucy.
Several years after the deaths of both Martha and Robert Keyes, a letter was found describing, in gruesome detail, the murder of little Lucy Keyes. The letter was from Tilly Littlejohn, the Keyes’s hermit-like neighbor, who was furious over a property line quarrel with Keyes. To cleanse his dying soul he admitted on his deathbed that he found the girl, Lucy, in the woods and killed her by hitting her on the head with a rock. He then stuffed her body in a hollow log and waited until nightfall to return and bury her body under an uprooted tree.
Many people believe that Martha Keyes has every reason to haunt the wooded hillsides of Wachusett Mountain calling, “Lu – cy, Lu – cy”, since she never learned the grim fate of her daughter. And witnesses still experience the spirits of both Martha and Lucy Keyes to this day.
is there some where i can find this letter online to read.Sorry this is so long.
Thanks xoxo <3
I, Tilly Littlejohn, am now an old man, hard on to ninety. Six weeks I have been sick, and three days I have been dying. The doctor gave me up day before yesterday; but I cannot die till I tell the true story of Lucy Keyes.
I once had a farm in Westminster, east of Wachusett, and Robert Keyes’s joined mine. We quarrelled about the line fence, and the referees decided against me. After that I hated Keyes, and would have nothing to do with him. He had a happy family; and from my home I could hear their shouts of laughter; and Keyes was happy. This made me hate him the more; for I was unmarried and alone. To this I trace the ruin of that family and of my life. If I had boldly sought and wed—before she chose another—the girl whom in my youth I loved! But I cannot tell that story—I am too far gone. I only wish the young to be warned by me. My desolate way of living made me a terror to all children. I hated them, and they feared me.
One summer afternoon, in the year 1755, or thereabouts, I was crossing the path to the lake, near Keyes’s field, when I saw the child, Lucy. She saw me, and appeared frightened, as if I were a wild beast. She began to run away. My anger was aroused. The injury Keyes had done me, in robbing me of part of my land; his prosperity and his happiness, with wife and children, and their loathing of me—all this rushed into my mind, and made me a demon of hate. I gave vent to my spite in a heavy cuff on the side of the child’s head. I did not mean to kill her. I was mad, and did not know how hard I struck. She fell, quivering, at my feet, and without a groan. Then I thought: “Here is more trouble for me on account of that hateful Keyes. If she lives, they will know it all, and I shall be punished; and she may not live for she now lay still at my feet. I will despatch her.” Mad with hate and fear, I struck her three heavy blows on the head with a stone. I then hid the body in a hollow log, and went to my house. That night Mr. Keyes came to ask me to help search for the child. I did so, to prevent suspicion; but I told him that I had seen a band of Indians the day before on the mountain, and that they had probably stolen her. When I saw how earnest and thorough they were in the search, I knew the body would be found; so I took it from the log and buried it near the roots of a fallen tree, scraping the earth from the roots into the hollow, and piling stones and rotted leaves with the earth above the body. This was late in the evening. I then built a fire above the grave, to conceal the place where earth had been moved.
While I was piling wood on the fire, the family all came; and, before long, men came from Princeton and Westminster; and, the next day, from Lancaster. When the first ones came, I thought they had found me out; but I kept on adding wood to the fire, and said nothing. I was so busy with burying the child and concealing the evidence of it, that I did not think that the bonfire would call people together, though this was always the signal— so much was I beside myself. But when Mr. Keyes took my silence as the natural thing for me, and asked me where the child was found, I saw that no one suspected me; and their faces filled me with terror, lest the truth should be discovered. I, therefore, told them she was not found; and I made plans for a more thorough search. I kept them searching till they all thought that the Indians had, without doubt, stolen the child. My fears were then at rest.
It was a natural thing for Indians to steal a child. Nobody suspected me; and I was safe. Then I went home, feeling free once more. But at sunset I heard the cry of Mrs. Keyes, calling for Lucy; and “Lucy!” “Lucy!” would be repeated from the mountain, and then from the hill, and then again and again from farther and farther away. It seemed as if all the spirits of the air were calling on me for Lucy. And then at night I would dream that Lucy was under my feet, and when I went to step upon her, in hate of her father, I would fall into a deep pit. This would awaken me; and as the misty light streamed through the trees, or into the room, I would seem to see her before my eyes as she looked after that first blow. And every night at sundown I used to hear the frantic mother calling for her little girl; and the echoes answered back the call. The nights were made hideous by my dreams.
I could not stand it. And so, disposing of my farm, I travelled to the Far West, and took land on the Mohawk river, in the State of New York. The shadow of my dark deed has hung over me. The sunset-cry of Mrs. Keyes, calling for Lucy, has been in my ears; and in dreams the child has appeared to me, here, with the sad, stunned face. I have longed for death to take me; but death would not come. Even with the weight of ninety years upon me, he will not take me with this burden of guilt upon my soul. I want this story to be told to Robert Keyes~ that I may die and be free from the apparition of this innocent child, and
Ok, so I’m a 16 year old guy. I have acne, and its pretty bad. I have seen a dermatologist, and he was going to put me on this thing called Accutane/Roaccuatane to cure it, but I will not be taking it because of the many side effects and potential dangers that the drug can do to your body.
Therefore instead, I have just recently changed my diet a whole lot. I don’t eat chocolate or ice-cream or chips, fried foods or anything else considered junk anymore. I have gone pretty much, completely healthy with most things. I have started drinking Apple Cider Vinegar (known as a very effective natural method of cleansing the entire body), orange juice, pineapple juice, apple juice, lots of water and eating lots of pasta, healthy soups, lots of vegetables (heaps of carrots, potato etc), fish, salads, heaps of fruit (strawberry, banana, rock-mellon etc) and things like those.
My main question is, if I keep this up how long do you think it will be until my acne starts to heal? I have also started using Proactiv again, and although it didn’t work last time I am giving it another shot since I am eating healthier.
I am very determined to get rid of my acne now, because I want to have nice, clear skin like I used to have just over a year ago. I am tired of having low self esteem, and lacking confidence around others because of my acne. No more, so that is why I want to know how long it will be for something to work.
Also, final question. If you are a good looking guy, but have acne, is that still a massive turn off for girls?
Thanks everyone.
First off, certain foods dont cause acne. It has to do with stress and hormones. Honestly, I would suggest the accutane. I just got off it and I was a little worried too from the side effects but really the only thing most experience is dryness, which can be easily fixed. I am really glad I got on it! What you can do is maybe try it out for a couple of months and see if its working for you.
Proactiv sucks! I tried it for 6 months! Waste of money.
Also, have you tried Retin-A micro? That might help. Retin-A also helps with resurfacing the skin by speeding cell turnover. I took the accutane because I tried EVERYTHING! So far no regrets!
As far as your last question, i think it depends on the girl. For me, a girl, I didnt have crappy skin until my senior yr of college, but before when my skin was clear, I looked past that kind of stuff.
PS. try this website. http://www.acne.org you can go on there and looks at hundreds of reviews from real people who have taken everything! its a great site. and people even post their progress during accutane with pictures and all.

I’m 14 and 5 feet 2 inches tall. I would give you my weight, But I’m currently rocking unsteadily back and forth between 105 and 109.
I have a terrible self-image and I never have a good looking body.
My stomach haunts me.
It sticks out in some places and looks sunken in others. It looks like my skeleton has been broken up inside me. Due to such a terrible outlook, I’ve been making myself puke for the past 3 or so years. It wasn’t ever very bad… Just if I felt I ate something really bad for me (Like McDonald’s after soccer practice) I would “cleanse” myself from it. But over the past 3 weeks I’ve been going downhill fast.
I make myself puke at least twice a day, And I feel suicidal over eating more than 2000 calories a day. Which isn’t good because I’m on something of a roller coaster of eating very small meals and consuming about 1400 calories a day for about 2 days to eating high calorie meals and eating 2300+ Calories. Followed by ravenous purging and starvation.
I feel like I’m going nowhere.
I think I need help, But I want to stay thin. I don’t want to be skelator, but I want to have a flat stomach and be “fit”
I hate running. And I can’t play many sports because I’m intimidated by people. So I don’t do alot of swimming either because of my poor self image and the fact that the only pool is a public pool filled with cute lifegaurds, pro swimmers, and obese people trying to loose weight. It isn’t a ideal place for a 14 year old.
I can’t go rollerblading or biking because I have no rollerblades and it’s too hilly were I live to do alot of that. And I can’t do anything I find intresting, Like Rock climbing and Dance, because my Father doesn’t let me.
I need suggestions and random tid-bits of advice. Anything helps.
Thanks for listening:)
sure, u feel great after u cleanse urself of McDonald’s fries, but then u get hungry and wanna eat again! and then purge again! no?
also, don’t u hate having swollen cheeks from vomiting? also, ur teeth will turn into little yellow peas if u keep up the habit. you are still developing. u are messing up your body!!!! don’t u feel crappier when u r purging?
why don’t u do abdominal exercises in your bedroom alone? while watching tv? or lift arm weights at home?
i will suggest some good snacks for you: fruit smoothies (frozen fruit, a banana, and cold water blended together), almonds, celery with hot sauce…idk what else…
OH! the best thing that got rid of “abdominal bulk” was the first one month colon cleanse i did! omg my stomach looked sooo thin and defined after the month cleanse. i use drnatura.com’s cleanse. essentially, it involves mixing a fibrous powder into water or juice. i highly recommend using OJ and putting in the blender. it is easy to drink that way. TRUST ME U WILL LOSE ABDOMINAL “FAT” this way (really it cleanses away any undigested compacted fecal matter stuck on the intestinal wall.) sry to be crude.
you are only 14. i struggled with a belly despite going to the gym daily because girls have baby fat that melts away around 18. trust me.
