Rhyming Rhapsodies: Recent Episodes
Rachel Flores
Hi, my name is Rachel and I love to debate and to write poetry. Debating is all about making the best argument and winning the argument. I enjoy debating because it challenges my mind and I like the feeling of winning. Poetry is also really fun for me. Poems are like a form of art and I love to express myself through writing.
I often find my thoughts turning to the past: the people I’ve loved, the places I’ve been. But there’s no point. It’s all just the same old game, with different players. And I’m tired of the game. Maybe it’s time I learned to live in the present and focus on the future. https://5amily.com/mug/i-may-be-a-debater-but-i-cant-fix-stupid (https://5amily.com/mug/i-may-be-a-debater-but-i-cant-fix-stupid)
We will stay together. Feciding to stay together was not an easy decision, but we have decided that we will do our best to stay together. I cannot say that I am not scared of what our future will hold, but I know that we will have each other even in the hardest times. https://5amily.com/mug/debating-is-cheaper-than-therapy (https://5amily.com/mug/debating-is-cheaper-than-therapy)
It's been so long since I've seen you. I am afraid to go on tonight. I'm here to show you that things get better. To be honest, I'm not so surprised.

We never know if she's happy, we never know if he is disappointed, we never know if she is sad, or if he is going through a breakup. And that's the sad thing. You never know someone's true emotions. https://5amily.com/tote-bag/have-no-fear-the-debater-is-here-2#151 (https://5amily.com/tote-bag/have-no-fear-the-debater-is-here-2)
That feeling when your gut is all clenched up, your eyes are looking around wildly, you’re so tense that if you dropped a plate on the floor, it would shatter? Yeah. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: nothing is scarier than the things we think about when we think about being scared. https://5amily.com/hoodie-gildan/magician-debater-same-thing-2 (https://5amily.com/hoodie-gildan/magician-debater-same-thing-2)
And I would never leave in your past, you know I have been there for you. I have done all in my power to love and respect you. I have guided you when you were blind, held your hand when you were feeling weak. Helped you when you were starting to fall and when you had fallen I have caught you. https://5amily.com/long-sleeve-shirt/i-cant-keep-calm-im-a-debater (https://5amily.com/long-sleeve-shirt/i-cant-keep-calm-im-a-debater)
I knew I needed to be strong, but that was easier said than done. I started to think about what my life was like before and I wasn't strong like I am now. https://5amily.com/hoodie-gildan/live-well-laugh-loud-debate-often-2 (https://5amily.com/hoodie-gildan/live-well-laugh-loud-debate-often-2)
A sweet talker with a gentle soul, one that would never cause any harm to others, that is what others think. As the old saying goes, "Never trust a person with no poker face." https://5amily.com/debating/blog (https://5amily.com/debating/blog)
It is difficult, to sum up sadness. I thought that I could just be the person I love inside me but it gets very hard when you are alone and lonely. https://5amily.com/funny-debating-v-neck-shirts (https://5amily.com/funny-debating-v-neck-shirts)
