Though I am not repelled by Death
and though his glances toy with me
I’d like to stay and chat awhile
With charming Eternity
And though our love will not last
My heart will break to leave
So worried about what others see
never allowing yourself to truly be free
focused on the expectations of humanity
The more we talked the less we found strangers of ourselves,
And the more we remembered,
Remembered about how perfect this world was becoming,
A tingly warmth invaded my body like flame meeting steam
because i enjoy Freedom
that i myself can Earn,
each and Every day
i Look for something new.
I search to find
ideas and thoughts and Novel plans
Trapped in a beautiful reality,
Twirling my Mobius strip.
Walking on burning fallacy,
Standing on the edge of spontaneity, I flip
into the abyss—
blinded by the power of silence
I stared fear in the eyes and asked it how was its day our staring match, lastedfor about five minutes and I refused to look away I am bigger I am not afraid I said, as I trembled in my legs
Here but never seen
Hide behind the camera
I am a coward
Stuck in a small world
Yearning for new adventures
Eyes are our passageways to see the world
In one simple movement, eyes reveal a kingdom of color and life from a realm of darkness
I'm just another colored kid living in the suburbs. Picket fences all around, all painted my neighbors color.
You are not invisible
not in any way, shape, or form.
I know you see things differently.
you dont have a "set in stone" way of thinking.
You think of evrything, possibly, too often.
From today until tomorrow, years later to forever
I want to make an impact that would change the world
There are moments when we see the violence coming and no one is in sight to stop it
A 17 year old child applying for college,
built for success, wisdom, and knowledge.
A plethora of information has been deposited into him,
But due to his black skin many have trained him on a whim.
I'm afraid of the dark
A creeping sense of danger
I flip on the lights
There on the table
Metallic in glow
A skull of human proportions
Box it up in cardboard
Save it for another day
I don’t know much about life
But I know about art
Art is a hard task; there are no shortcuts
Art is not always beautiful
It sometimes can be depressing
The right brush can create a masterpiece
Words left unspoken,
Killing the shadows of the night.
With nothing left to give,
Here we are with our hearts tied.
Taken by others love,
With conversations left unfinished.
To be heard, is the cry of every heart
To be heard, is desired from the very start
From a child's first cry, to final death
We long to put our souls to rest
To find peace in someone who has heard
Explode into the world, leaving your inhibitions in the dancing wind.
Your comfort zone is a place to forget and leave behind, for outside of it greater things are accomplished.
life is like a canvas
u add paint
chage the color
make the design
but with this canvass you are never sure
on how the canvas would look
or how people will percieve it
Don't say you hate your life,
have you ever been on a ride.
Discovered places you've never been to before,
like Alabama, Massachusetts or Ohio.
I though so.
Go on a hike,
or ride a bike.
Don't ever give up.
Where would we be if Abraham Lincoln didn't end slavery, fixing humanity as if it's a broken cup?
Memorizing data to spit back out verbatim
That’s not learning
Banking our self-worth on a letter
That’s not learning
Staying up so late that the book get’s blurry and our brain gets fuzzy
That’s not learning
Just look at my face
Lies is what it seems to be
I am lost everyday
Deep in me I drown
Gagging full of frustration
Sea within me here...
High school is over.
Spread your wings and discover
What your life could be.
A world unseen by these eyes
is a world I crave with a huge desire
To walk along a path unknown,
to see a world lived by those before.
All I want
is to discover new,
to see a side of me that I never knew.
Be aware if you dare
stare i don't care
i have everything being my teddy bear
its ok if you dont like me
but i bet my life you wont doubt me
because i have potential like no other
Today I am 17, soon
to be 18 and it wont be long
until adults will respect me, youth
will reflect me. But I just sit here in my room
waiting for Peter Pan to come. Before
