The other day I felt down and sad,
I had so many problems I could not deal with,
The thoughts kept buzzing making me mad,
All the bad was unreal, a horrifying myth.
I could not handle it, so I sat back and thought,
A million paths, all lead to one.
You either lived life to the fullest or wait till it’s done.
I’m ecstatic, I am scared.
Doing what I love to do with the thrill of the unknowing.
“Gullible is written in the ceiling.” They said.
“HAHA!” They said.
“So clueless.” They said
But I say “THANK YOU!”
They lead me to a surprise
Only to be fooled into a joke,
“Kids today are so self-absorbed”
“They’re always on tweeter and Face…something. They can’t even formulate thoughts that people want to read, but they post every little thing.”
When I think about life
sometimes tears come to my eyes.
The lack of money I have
at times causes me strife.
But then I remember my goals
and what’s to unfold.
Then I remember my blessings
The mood is low, but im on the moon
My body is weak, but I benchpress an elephant
Fire surrounds us all and Im cold as ice
Dont get in my way, Im already way past you
I'm smiling as I write this.
Not because I'm happy,
no.
If anything, I am quite sad.
My mom is sick,
the bank is taking away our house
and we are left broke
Life is an elemental thread
that runs thru the fabric of every human being
An unforeseen future
can neither be exact
fingerpainted
looked at..
accurate by current situations
Dear Lord;
People never truly realize the immense pain,
They never truly realize what brought the rain.
They never truly realize the light of the sun,
They never truly realize until their night comes.
In this world people we know and love constantly tell us "I got you. You can do it. You are beautiful." They let us know they have us no matter what. As long as the sun rises it'll be alright. But there came a time when the power turned off.
5 Years Ago
To this day I still remember
The french braid in her hair
The all black the other was wearing
Nobody told me
But I knew
Nights of crying over facetime
Yes, there are cracks in the sidewalk, coffee can burn you, and the light from the streetlamp shines through your bedroom window.
You see life in the small sense, the little day-to-day pieces, "life."
Everything is awesome
Until you reaize that it's not
The wold is ugly
With vitiation it is wrought
The sky will always rain, and the world is filled with pain
Pessimim reminds us why we must refrain
Never surround yourself with negative or it'll dim your awesome,
If there are negative people in your life then go ahead and toss em'
Be polite, be cordial, be kind, be modest
Be the greatest, not a sadist
It baffles me
The way you look into a mirror and don't see anything
The way you've brought happiness & light into the dark cloudy days without realizing it
9:54 pm,
clean skin,
faintly tingling,
wrapped in fresh linen,
drifting away as
an air conditioner
buzzes,
misting the room with
cool that wraps
its big blue arms
I know what is expected of me
But your expectations don't define me
Things are different now
We've come too far
I've come too far to stop moving forward
As I try to connect the now with the then and the why with the sin, my heart leaks the words that speak to your attentive ears but you are blind to my tears along with reality and fantasy is all you see and it’s all you desire and thus I’m inspir
What to expect when all things get out of hand?
You turn towards the thing that has been there since you were brought to this land
All living beings, the birds, the trees
Something more incredible than our life it seems
I wish that I was able to find out if magic is even real. People always tell me that it is no big deal, and that you should let it go. There are many different types of people in the world today, but there are few who actually matter to me.
Awaken to the sound of a
mother’s song echoing
sweetly beneath canopies
of youth where fears
cured by wealth become
symbols of love
consuming bliss like
winds signaling spring
The world around me makes me feel free,
I feel one with it.
If this green world around me,
wasn't here i don't know what I would do.
It gives me life!
I breath in an known that im meant to be here.
Oh how the light hits her eyes.
It's like heaven is shinning at her.
It's like she dances with angles.
It's like there is only holy in her being.
Oh how the light hits her face.
When i was a kid life was awesome
We play all day out side
Basketball, baseball, kickball, football, soccer, tag, water guns, balloons, and slides, and every kind of race
what I thought would be sweet summer days
turned into sleepless summer nights
I worry about things
what things?
everythings
I thought I would be working
but instead days are filled with netflix
You never realize it
until you
do things on your own.
All your life
your parents provide
a home,
your clothes,
food, transportation...
You never realize
how much they provide,
I know you're hurt, but can you help me sleep tonight? Can you let me sleep in ur arms tonight?...Just for one last night...
I look across the block
And see you standing there.
I hear the clock going tick-tock,
While I hold that teddy bear.
Seeing you is just in my imagination
I remember seeing you run those fairs.
Just yesterday, I abandoned my antisocial ways
In exchange for a life of misery and failure
This damn New York traffic keeps preventing me from acquiring any precious sleep
Good morning sun!
Good morning everyone!
Come with me, let's have some fun!
Feel the gentle breeze, look up at the fluffy clouds, what a beautiful day!
Literally in awe,
Of how awesome,
Some of us are.
Not every thing,
Not every one,
But some.
Many, in fact.
But not all.
Hence- awe-some.
How is it the mind works?
Truly, how is thought expressed?
Because my mind makes synapses;
They filter deep within and fester.
That is, until they leave or cannot exist.
Ha...everything is awesome when it's going my way
Not your way or her way but my way all the way
Yah it's all smiles and giggles when my style is filling
The room
This room
Life is Awesome, even though its not some
Fairtale story that's entirely all fun
Though it get's rough
Life makes you more tough
Pushing you pass your limits
When you thought you had enough.
From the clouds in the sky
to the grass on the ground
everything is awesome
From the roof over my head
to the bed I sleep in
the clothes on my back
to the shoes I walk in
awesome
Looking out of the window I sat with my spine turned
and lingering over the end of this journey
as I stepped away from her a tear fell but a smile followed
thoughts of wonder contacted the pain in my heart
it's hard to be aware
of the moving world around
the whipping and rushing and tripping and gushing
it's hard to stay with your feet on the ground
and it's much too easy to lose that footing
When my throat is raw
and my eyes are red
from words both unspoken and said
I hear,
The pitter patter of the rain
replicating my pain
Have you seen the sky lately?
the blue, the white, the clouds
how nice? Everything that sounds
awesome. The birds chirping and
singing the little kids dancing and
prancing isn't it awesome?
I'm left behind, madness seeping in my mind
I can't think of anything, I'm trying to solve everything
Fix this problem and solve this mess, doesn't matter that I'm dying from stress
Yet my flesh might seem clean, I am tattooed with the labels of society.
Every morning her flesh starts clean,
but by the afternoon she is tattooed with ideas.
She was my worst enemy
My destined opponent
Ten years we've fought
Back and forth
She hated me
As I her
Then a divine revelation
An epiphany
In the form of a miniscule question
The space between our fingersis the color of your eyes at nightand my face when I notice.But also the first light of dawnand sticky, peach skin,the kind you pull with your teeth,
I’m having a hard time accepting I’m soft–soft stomach, soft heart,my soft way of telling othersI’m having a hard time.It leaves me hesitating at mirrors,
You are a amazingly beautiful person
The way your smile shines even when you are in despair
The way you work hard even when others dont believe in you
Your words can make a person feel worthy of themselve
I have a best friend
Her name is Amber
Amber is blonde
and Amber is tall
She is beautiful
She is smart
She is silly
And she is my best friend
Amber and I have an unbreakale bond
Silence is terrifying, but isn't it beautiful?
All of your thoughts and nothing distracting you from them.
Your hopes, dreams, and fears somehow seem so loud while everything else is silent.
Looking back, I must say it was heavenly
Those days I complained about ballet
Those nights I cried about practicing
I would do it again and again
Growing wiser and closer to You made me see
