i never went towards anything that didnt interest me -other wise it would be obvious, i was being dragged along by some inferior notion of success, whether inwardly or outwardly manifested.
We see
We hear
We know more about this
Than we need to
It’s as old as time
I’m gonna start with a question
That I doubt you can answer
Because I’m sure it’s in you
Spreading like a cancer
It’s in me too,
Though I’ve only just become aware
Dear Impulsiveness,
I think its time we had a little chat
Oh no, don’t talk back, this is MY time to chat
God I wish you never got involved
At the end of the day
What have you done for others
How much time did I spend reading lies
Did I argue with God
Was I annoyed by a stranger
Your Heart affects your Thoughts.
Your Thoughts lead to Choices.
They become Actions.
Actions lead to Consequences.
Consequences Determine Your Destiny.
That camera that you hold
Will not capture my state of mind
Beyond a flash, my thoughts last
And adapt to the times
To some, it will never matter where you came from
It only matters how much you make in the now
Why could they care about the past?
Everyone is so focused on the future and the present
Poetry
The tall, dark and handsome man I long for
His broad shoulders are the frames to the most
beautiful painting
His eyes illuminate in the sky like the stars
Almost as if you could touch him,
Hand a dollar to your neighbor if she's ever in needShare a smile with a stranger when his endeavours succeedTake a cloud from the storm and make the lonely a new friend
Taking pictures half naked
Smoking and drinkin to try and forget your father left
Breaking your mothers heart for getting suspended from school for being half baked
people today think they know what respect truly is,
when they don't even respect the opinions of others.
There are so many things I want to tell you
I was the quiet one in class who did all of his work
But you still gave me the bad grades because I did not talk throughout your class
Im a normal school girl
Attending my last year in high school and I still see it
Something students like me are unappreciative about
To live forever is a hopeless dream,
Humans are meant to come and go from here,
Life is not something that you can redeem,
We stand to fall,
We run to crawl,
We laugh to cry,
and we live to die.
No matter what turn you take,
your actions all lead to fate.
The fate at the end of the road you're on,
A caring word from the heart, or
An action done for someone else;
The ability to display affection, or
The ability to think outside one’s self.
In this world, an individual is the focus:
The power of words, is awesome to behold.
They build and they break, they furl and they fold.
A simple word, empowers a man,
Or throws his hopes, his dreams in the can.
Such simple devices, such miniscule tools,
One, two, three
Step on me
four, five, six
Grab some sticks
seven, eight, nine
Now you're mine
ten, eleven, twelve
See you all in hell.
Think before you speak.
Before you DO, you gotta THINK.
Actions. Consequences. Decisions. Words.
In essence that's all they are. And yet, they're everything.
