What is it that keeps one from reaching its highest quality?It’s an epitome I️ received, tugging at my curiosity.
The day you left me was the day i died,
Not only on the out but inside.
Without you by my side, yeah i cried.
No laughter at all just a boring chapter,
Until we meet again a talented rapper.
Inside of my mind I'm going kind of insane
I don't know how to feel no more just happiness, love, and pain
Sitting silently in the dark but all i hear is rain
As the beat drops everything's going down the drain
Death among innocence
No love they just killin' 'ish
No trust we still buildin' it
So crazy with ignorance
Don't know why people leave our eyes
So many tears that we cry
Move along without pain we try
I live in a world where there is nothing but unhappiness,
No such thing as love or trust in a society of foolishness.
Why should I put my all into someone or something that isn't worth it,
A young man17 years oldPopular in schoolA friend to allBroad-shoulderedStrong as an oxOlympic torch bearerCross country runnerDance competition winnerState champion wrestler
Oh, and who is she, she who stands in front of me,The woman with hollow sunken eyes; devoid of all the glee
If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds of distance a lot of quality in it
Then run, blend it into a focus that's shifted into an 'all hearts are lifted'
Sacrifice! I hear them shout
dancing round me all about
Holy crap! What have I done?
This old nightmare's just begun
baby heads strung round their necks
I kick and scream cuz i'm probs next.
Maybe... maybe i did this to you
Maybe through my willingness and unawareness i was turning you into this person i have no idea who is anymore.
Maybe it's my fault.
Maybe i let you boss me around too many times.
Do you believe in love at first sight?
Probably not I wouldnt believe it either.
You're awsome and you know it to
even when you're feeling blue
piss me off, but still you're great,
at not sticking to that trait
laughter is all you need
to that energy you always feed
My hair
is something that I hope he fell in love with second
because I feel beautiful when little strands
fly around my face when I walk
What do I find awesome?
Education and the fact that it helps me blossom
Everything from reading to color coding notes
Reading lets me discover new worlds and teaches me cool new words
With every shower, every new pair of shoes,
every birthday cake, every bookstore,
every single breath which kills so, so slowly,
it becomes clearer that perhaps....we are just parasites.
The morning breeze as the sun rises
The leafs swirling in the wind
The birds humming their morning song
Johnny came to visit when I was nine
He only had the chance to just that one time
He still smiled as often as he always did
But his smile seemed almost crooked
I asked him why that was and he said:
How awesome it is to be.
In this human form, to have to abilities.. to exist.
Do you smell, taste, see, FEEL.
..feel, feel, hear.
To feel the rain against your skin. Drip.. Drip... Drop. Over and over.

Mirror on the wall, Who's the baddest of them all
my hair is big, curly and nrully
Mirror on the wall who's the smartest of them all
i see the numbers and quick think of what's five to the power of four
Pleading eyes
Watching others walk on by
Wondering will anyone give
In order for them to live
Money lands
It's expected that as soon as someone wrongs you,
forgiveness must be on the tip of your tongue,
no matter the size or weight of the injustice,
and still,
She has to jump across this lava pit,
The one that I designed to test her timing skills a bit.
I’m in the chatroom with her viewers, cheering,
But some have doubts that she’ll get past the level that she’s nearing.
What is the thing that helps me get throught the day
that brightens up my path
that gives a passion to my pain
My computer turns on and reminds me of debt.
College comes closer and interest follows after.
Babysitting job doesn't pay regularly.
Mother is tired. Bill notices are scattered everywhere.
The world is not what it seems
The world is warm
The world is cold
The world is ever-changing
The world doesn't even know
Bus isn't that beautiful?
Every year is a new experience
a new month
Oh how my heart burns
The way it makes it pace
What all romantics yearn
What brightens up my day
A never-ending flame
The greatest flower of all
What even angels claim
Remember that time you fell off your bike,
And the neighbor saw you and asked if you were alright?
Then you proceeded to pretend you hadn't injured your rear end,
And got back on your bike and started riding again.
Steam rises in a sudden blast.
It comes and goes shockingly fast.
There's a flush before I hear tiny feet flee
and the shower curtain rustles beside me.
Bossom buddies are friends that are close to you
One may think he/she is alone but that's never true
Someone is always there for you whether it be a family member or simply an acquaintance
the gift inside of me
is more valuable, more precious
than golden nugget chunks
found beneath Earth's rocky skin.
it is much more beautiful
than glittering diamond fractals,
reflecting beams of light
Awesome:
An adjective that means causing or inducing awe;
Inspiring an overwhelming feeling of
Reverence,
Admiration,
Or fear.
A word used as slang,
A word used in abundance,
I will be an Engineer.
They are telling me it’s not affordable.
I should consider another career.
Who believes in me?
All I wanted was to go to a good school.
For no other reason than to reach the top, we sweat and we scramble
Why we choose an exhausting excursion for a vacation - isn't the point to relax from the stress of the day to day life- I simply did not know.
Is it too soon to tell?
But so refreshing to have.
Someone who likes you for you.
And not what you can give them.
As much as i admire your goals and accomplishments.
I am Infinity in Earth
I come and go as I will
I entered this human dimension through my Father's Tunneling Blackness
Passing into my Mother's all Encompassing Darkness.....
You thought they would go to the ends of the Earth for you,
and while you thought this, you sat together and showed each other your souls.
Scared out of my mind.
I begin to lose all of my breath.
As I look to my right and left,
I see a world that is decimated.
Life. Veins pulsing.
We’re human, good at resuscitation.
It's Practically Raining Roses
I woke up at dawn, and I thought to myself,
"What awful could happen today?
Unknown is my fate, could disaster await,
Only a second away?"
Being a girl is best thing in life
girls are sugar, spice, and everything nice.
I am a girl and I am awesome!
Just like Martin Luther King, I have a dream
That this world is unreal, and its not as it seems
Not reallying bullying, crimes and drugs, but rainbows, butterflies, and soft hugs
People on the campus waiting to blossom,
Learning and processing on what is to be awesome,
To find the thing that becomes their obsession,
Within a structure of oppression,
Seeing these students drag on,
Once I saw an old man
planting an apple tree
the shovel, firm in his hand
the pain, sharp in his knee
I heard the prayers on his lips
and the earth striking steel
I am going to be subjective when I describe,
The personality traits that set my mother apart,
From everyone else I know.
The personality traits that make my mother,
Awesome.
She is smart.
There is beauty all around us
In people young
And those whom time has made old.
Even in things unpleasant;
They can place us on the right road.
Though no path is the wrong one,
Some are a better fit,
Everything Is Awesome!

Time to stop looking at all of the bad
To stop looking at all of my mistakes
It's time to look back into my past & see everything that has made me laugh & smile
Changes are going on
And it is a little hard to deal
When things aren't what they were.
You don't know how to feel.
College is right around the corner
And you're the first one to attend
I love to indulge
in books of fearless heroes
and adventurers,
in songs and legends,
Those first days are always the most frightening,
Those moments when you’re scared but excited,
Adrenaline running,
Heart racing,
Palm sweating,
Balling your eyes out,
WE DO NOT BEGIN AS POLICE PROPERTY, to be freed or detained based on some guy’s mood or feeling.” he wrote.....
We are not theirs... We are not of their descent.
Their hair.
Their skin...
We are not theirs
Why do birds chirp?
Why is grass green?
Why don’t pigs fly?
Why are people sometimes so mean?
Why is crime happening?
Why are people dying?
Why is money a big deal?
It was my escape.
My get away.
I wasn't me,
I was someone else entirely.
What they felt,
I felt.
What they saw,
When I was little girl.
I would often have my eyes closed.
My father thought that I closed them because I was ready for a nap.
My mother thought I had allergies.
My brothers thought I was crazy.
Any man would be blessed to have a goddess in his life.Possessing all the wisdom, beauty, and graceworthy of the Greek pantheon.He prays and makes the appropriate sacrificesto win a steadfast Hera
Everything is awesome,
Meaning all that He had created,
From all the flowers that blossom,
To party balloons we inflated.
Everything is wonderful
From the very start,
How awesome it is to be alive,
To see, to hear, and drink wine.
How awesome it is to move,
To dance, and to sing with the moon.
How awesome it is to breathe,
To rejoice in the sounds of the leaves.
What a world it is for me, I 've over came so many things.
From abuse, to fights, to yells, and doubts I am amazed to say I''ve come around.
It is the way the tide rumbles slowly,
racing up the sand to blanket my feet.
It is the way my toes submerge effortlessly,
into the soft embrace of the miniscule grains.
Is this it?
Is this really the life I was born with?
I’ll admit it’s truly something;
I’m working day in and day out for nothing,
Flushing my time down the drain just to say I have a penny to my name,
Hope is awesome.
It keeps you moving through the storm.
When your body's cold as ice,
All of the simple wonders and joys of life;
Forget about all the pain and strife.
The smell of delicious baking cookies wafting through the air,
Digging a hole is pretty cool
You can use your hands or a tool
That part of the ground is no longer there
If big enough, you can sit in there with a chair
Make a gap in the ground by your own will
The thoughts in my head
Become poems to be read
That can soothe a troubled mind.
Awesome.
My eyes, fixed on the star-riddled
Galaxies of night
That I might wonder and
I love you like Penelope loves Odysseus
You are my Ithaca
I love you like Juliet loves Romeo
Passionately, until my dying breath
I love you like Jack loves Rose
I'll never let go
Love Is what I have In my happy soul,
I give love to all even the ones who spit on my name.
Not even pushing for perfection but, to be clean,
Inside and out,
When nights and days become heavy,
and sleep seems more attractive, more soothing, than the real world.
I pull out my favorite memory.
Now, my sister's may be a party, or a large outing.
Life is truly awesome.
From stary skies & rising sun.
To crashing waves & fluffy pashter sheep.
The world will continue
because that strength you're looking for is in you.
Because opportunities are open doors
My heart pounds to the beat of the drums
And my spirit awakens with a flash of the lights
Nowhere on earth can happiness be replaced
Beacuse at this moment we are all content
Life in general is going great
taking the next step in life is like a trait
I am a graduate of high school
When I do fall, as we all will do, we are allowed a perspective of the sky, we may only see when the times are the hardest.
People have a lot of things they find to be great,
Not everyone's the same, but we most definitely have some.
Flashback a hundred years ago,
The year is nineteen fifteen,
A year when women had no vote,
And no voice to portray their soul.
But five years later,
They would receive the vote,
That you're awesome.
The way you always nap at 4:30 in the afternoon
the way you get really really happy about a full moon
the way you get cranky if you don't get to eat
My mom is awesome
She carried my in her tummy
I know for 9 months she felt funny
My mom is awesome
I've mad her happy and sad
I've made her proud and mad
I know she still loves me though it all
Hold on, friend.
It's 6 P.M.
You're going to stand through the worst weather.
But we'll get through it together.
I promise you this one thing.
This one thing.
We're going to get through this together.
On the fence again,
Where we both once sat,
I feel you,
And know you're near.
I hear your feet,
Rustling the leaves as you walk,
Over to me,
Johnny came to visit when I was nine
He only had the chance to just that one time
He still smiled as often as he always did
But his smile seemed almost crooked
I asked him why that was and he said:
This extraordinary habitat in which we preside,
constructed by the merciful palms of our gracious Lord,
Seldom are the soft given a seance. There are
several kinds of soft- the soft of light cupped like a
secret etween one's palms;the hay edges of a fire's
silhouette dancing, scarcely defining the
What does awesome mean to you?
When you think of awesome
You think of that great big success
You think of acing that end-of-year test
We think of celebrations and parties
And being our best
Even on my baddest days, you still tell me I am beautiful.
That is why I am so grateful, every day and in every way.
Because you always know exactly what to say and make my grey clouds go away
Our life is like music.
the very air we breathe is an amazing symphony being played beautifully.
our veins are the string we pluck just to get the perfect vibration.
Think about it.
Another day, another way to fulfill those long awaited dreams.
Go for it.
Another day, another way to find out what life truly means.
Dig deeper.
Another day, another way to move forward.
Wonder who I am, I'm a heart waiting to open up to you. Read my mind and ill read yours. Tell me yours deepest dark secrects. Don't be afraid of me because I'm not afraid of you. I love you with all my heart, to bad you just cant see it.
You thought you were walking down that lonesome road alone
Surrounded by trees, debris, and leaves.
The ominous dark gray clouds looming overhead.
The storm continues to roll in.
I walk around with flat feet; everything average as could be.
I think to myself, what else could I see?
Fulfillmemt is needed in my feet.
I need to move to a rhythm and beat.
When you are going down a road called life and the turns are getting sharper,
You may be telling yourself that this is never ending because there seems to be no end in sight.
Remember the days that have past,
The Ocean is Alive
Moving, shifting, crashing
Shimmering, relaxing, drifting
The Ocean is unending.
A Spectrum of colors:
From black to blue,
And green to grey.
Optimism
Stay strong and fight through
Everythings gonna get better for you.
Look at life a different way,
Because in all actuality, no one has a bad day.
Life is all about doing things,
Whenever I am feeling sad
Or just having a bad day,
I grab my phone to talk to you;
I know I will be okay.
Though we come from different backgrounds,
We couldn't be more the same.
One, two, three, four
two, two, three, four
Keepng count of the measures
as the beat carries on.
Pain shows
happiness is heard,
many emotions portrayed
in the piece being played.
A simple life
I want to sit by the window when
it rains and read books I'll
never be tested on
Take a moment to ask yourself isn't it awesome to be,
Alive with different obstacles,
To be enriched a man and not an animal,
To be a pioneer of your own road,
To be open to different choices and different places,
Let us rewind,
Let us blast to the past.
Let me share with you
The reason my days are not bad.
A young lady was pregnant,
And she got very sick.
Not one doctor, not one specialist
Life descends upon us unawares
living is a beauty so beguiling
As a human subject to her whim
how could you not embrace her smiling?
To awaken with such potential
If a house "divided" against itself cannot stand
Then how is ours still running
With handwriting on the wall in pen,
Saying it's each other we are shunning?
Society changed us
i’ve noticed on plane rides that
the clouds’ shadows cover the earth
protecting me from harsh sun beams that
kiss my skin
so that there is a bit more melanin to glisten
i’ve noticed that the rain
It's finally been a year
See it clearly now as I stand here
So hard to get over this fear
See it clearly like looking in a mirror
I live with it everyday,
Play it off in a more obvious way
Do you ever wish you could see the unknown,
Witness a miracle, or sit on a throne?
Do you ever wish to have a longer life,
Have the perfect husband or wife?
I'm here to say that if you do,
Everything is AwesomeFrom the little things in day to day lifeThat give us griefTo the moments whereWe can't help but smileEverything that happens in our livesMakes everything else fall into place
The window shows a smile in my reflection,
Feeling sad at the notion that after tonight it may fade.
Never be afraid to live
Do not be afraird of what you have never did
Be an adult but laugh as a kid
Go On.
Never let other hold you back
Do not your situations stack
As he stands in his stance ready to be victorious.
He remembers the long nights of endless chaos.
The strong winds that often kept him bound.
The unsettling rains that always made him frown.
The sun peaks through the sky as if revealing the mantled pieces of the universe
Today I realized everything is part of me
Waking up ready for the imperfection of the world
Not shameful of saying this is where I stay
Awesome isn't shiny things
and all the joy that shiny cars may bring
Awesome is the simple things
The things like good morning texts
and I love you so I waited for you.
Awesome are the words that
The things we had wasnt enough these memories fade away easy for you , but the loving moments come to as they open me to say the word regret
The day you first opened your eyes
And life began –
The tears your mother cried,
As you wrapped her finger
In the palm of your hand –
The excitement that came
With your first word,
When I woke up the other day
I had no idea where I was going to stay
In fact I didn't even know where I was
I still felt I had some sort of buzz
If all is going wrong,
Don't worry about it.
All gets better in the end.
Life will be fantastic,
"A Villanelle with Initiative"
Look at the rising sun,
Kissing the earth with rays,
Who will I be when it’s done?
Calm and pure as a nun,
Mature beyond my days,
Look at the rising sun.
Summer nights are filled with adventures;
Waitng to be revealed by the daring,
By the reckless,
By the implusive.
Nights spent in different rooms,
In different places,
In different time,
See that rock? It's awesome.
Why, you ask? I'll tell you.
Because it's unique, and because it
This World is our World,
Shared by every human that takes in air.
To share and to cherish
Each other with kindness and care
Is the only way to preserve something so rare.
Who are we? Simple minded people? Out of touch of reality, and fighting how people should be treated equal.
What would i do if i could change my past?
Would i wipe the slate clean?
Would i be myself or this brand new charcter?
A reflection of what i could be, should be , or am.
Advancing poles stab though city skyline.
Life will pass though seems so fine.
Rambling through this post rock generation
I've stumbled all over these fine, sane lines
Throwing sparks at fellow folks, I
I've never written a poem before.
But yet I find myself here
at 12:38AM on my laptop once more
looking for a solution.
A solution to pay for my tuition,
my books,
my room and board,
I am the maiden of earth,Always Innocent and pure.I’ve been called an angelWith goodness in my heart,And a sharp, intelligent mind.
Passing populous parties,
I prefer some seclusion.
A private place, a lot of space,
Obtrusive clamor is muted.
Star shine’s bright no city light
intrudes to dilute it.
To conclude I’m reclusive
He thought the sky was falling,
And i felt it shatter ever day as the sun was setting,
She landed on my eyes, we always fall together
She blushes as the sun is put to rest,
As of now
I've finally reached rock bottom.
Homeless,
No money to my name,
And never know where my next meal is coming from
And yet, I still smile
I smile because even through all the downs
I don't know
what you've been told
but baby girl
you're
beyond amazing
eccentric to the world
an angel in disguise
undeniably genuine
talented beyond measure
The squawking of the seagulls
the calmness of the waves
seashells shining gracefully
in golden sunlit caves.
The shakiness of sand,
beneath the frollickers' feet,
Everything is awesome,
It’s true,
Think of what you love,
Of what you have,
And what you will.
Think of the foods you devoured
That makes your mouth water.
Mine waters
With the memory
Your body is not a temple; it's a tree.
Equipt with branches for limbs and leaves for all the little in betweens.
Trees are meant to grow strong for years and years
with their roots consistently reaching further.
Unwilling to accept the pain he caused,
When all he seemed to do was break the laws.
Living life with regret for the time we spent,
I am The Prince of the In-Between.
I sleep to dream.
And I pay the price of my lonely stagger
for the sum of one million suns,
grasped gently by my mind,
spoken slowly by my wise-toungue.
I have black hair
I have small asian eyes
I am a person
and I really love myself
I dont say this to be arrogant
Or to brag
I say it because it is the answer to HAPPINESS
Green, Brown, Yellow and Blue
all colors remind me of you.
Green like the trees
that stand mighty and tall.
Brown like the dirt
where flowers bud and the worms live.
Yellow like the sun
The cinematic universe
Is breathtaking
Able to submerse
The audience into watching
It's wonderful to create something
Out of a complete and utter nothing
This is creativity
(Dedicated to my friend, Joy.)
Ukulele cords, rainbow connections and pure imaginations,
2 a.m. dance parties; sleep doesn't exist at this moment.
As laughter erupts, a broken record I don't want to fix;
Life. . . something that is a spectacular,
which can be uplifted or taken away,
but it seems that we prefer the latter,
Daily people are dieing, horrible and gruesome deaths,
Eighteen winters and I'm tired --exhausted.
Tired of my mind holding me hostage,
Tired of the cliquelessness causing me restlessness--
I haven't known my bed in days.
I lay in it but it won't hold me,
One word…
Then the galaxies and the planets spread across the vast universe and the stars found their place in the cosmos
One word…
Every night for the last years I have visit the same place, the same city,
It exist only in my dreams, I have no control over my steps,
I fall asleep and moments later I see myself stranded in the same place again,
You wait, wait until the day you can shine
blood, sweat, tears and coffee have made you strong,
but my blood sweat and tears have made you mine
and though it is hard I will learn from my wrongs.
It is always fun to be alive.
Wow! So much time to dance and jive.
Do as you wish to be yourself.
Always strive to love oneself.
Life is fun for you and me since both of us can live happy.
All of my life
I was living a lie.
It seems that my childhood
has flown right by.
My momma became an angle
and daddy got sentenced to life.
Now I've grown too fast to be a man
Optimism is one of the most difficult thing a person can have in this world. Time is on a constant path that never deviates for any person.
To some people,
every day when the sun rises,
life is a routine.
They see events flash before them,
but they never know what they mean.
But life is not the sand in an hourglass.
Awesome is as plain as the word is Awesome
It can not be described
It can only be felt.
It’s easy to say that life is hard.
It’s easy to say you’re struggling through.
Easy to say you drew the wrong card.
Wake Up.
Eat.
Work.
Sleep.
Wake Up.
Repeat.
Monotony affects the population,
Suppresses our elation.
Routine produces lethargy,
Making us forget how to simply be.
All round you is nothing a blank canvas to creat or to destroy nothing is all around quietness freedom space nothing you look for ways to please yourself to cover the pain to understand the world and its meaning and why are you here there are no
Getting lost between the lines
But following all of the signs
Beloved friends come to an end
While struggling to defend
Soilders brought upon in life
Only to be struck by a knife
Everything is awsome -
from the homless man on the corner smiling because hes happy to be alive.
No more tears,
No more doubts.
Things we once feared,
give us a reason to shout!
Your story is not sad,
nor is your story over.
Today you should be glad,
Enough solemn composure!
Chapter 1: My mother meets a man.
She thinks she loves him, but she doesn’t know what love is.
A one night stand with a perfect stranger is not love.
Deciding whether to abort your baby
You know?
Poetry has never been my thing.
Math?
Science?
Hell, even music?
Those I can handle.
Being stuck
in an english class

To the mother who spends 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, 60 minutes a hour..loving me . This poem is for you.
Many, many years ago,
He was the one I could see,
The one I came to know,
Whose name was Stevie,
This young man had friends,
Not everything is awesome
Not everything is good.
The darkness closes in,
I put up my hood.
Breathe in, breathe out
let's start this from within.
My heart replays the rhythm
In a single day people are born, age, and die. Babies crying for the first time, a mans last breath, counting their stars, last wishes.
I love the essence of your beauty
The way your confidence portrays in not by what you speak but by the way you walk
You have an aura, yes this bright aura that captures me up & feels me with love
Your harsh words rain relentlessly.
There’s no shelter when I’ve let down every wall.
There is Something Noble in the Struggle, Something Dignified in Tears.
I am a shadow and a shadow doesn’t feel.
When people look at me they judge my appearance.
I don't mind it, it's human nature.
It bothers me when these people choose to define me by their preconceived ideas.
They do not understand history behind a first glance.
Television, Magazines, Posters
Sometimes you may even come to see me at a show
I have it all right
My head has risen up,
curiosity is at it's peak
How do I get out of this?
What even is this?
this barrier that's holding me captive..
I want to get out,
But
How?
I know.
The sunrise chased me today
Emotions exposed
Never look back they say
But beauty rose..
Onward
Everyone has their own mind,
Each of which a different kind.
Greed, money, and power they crave
What happened to just being a hero that’s brave?
Selfless and caring
but also slightly daring
Like a speck of dust,
like a tick on a dog’s belly,
I go unnoticed—the price
I pay as a small girl
in a big world. I’ve been
tossed aside and told,
“You’re too small, too weak,
Whether accidental or intentional
Everything is Awesome
The smallest seeds make way
For trees with cherry blossoms
The things we overlook
Such as bees and berry pollen
All assist our excited existence
My chest, from which my breath was taken
As four eyes meet, and the souls speak
The lips in tandem, as they mock each other
Here I want to write about a galaxy.
I want to paint a picture with a slim-tipped brush on the inside of your mind.
It will have milky skys and dark summer nights
and holes in mysterious places.
Positive Thinking
Positive thinking is a wonderful way,
To have a nice and glorious day.
The sky is blue and the ocean is white. The grass is purple, but at night it's pink. The clouds are neon yellow, and the sun is crystal clear diamonds. The world is never as it seems. So why don't you create the world as it seems to you.
Everything is awesome in this dangerous world.
maybe its not or maybe it is.
Keep a positive mindset, let your love unfurl.
today is great. Oh baby, it is.
Look at all the nature, oh what beauty!
Paper crinkles as I reach into the bag.With precision I grip and lift.Gently I lay my prize on the table before me.
There is light and then shadow, silhouettes of darkness,
For life shares these disasters our minds cannot harness,
I tell you this glass that is told half full,
That it is full indeed with body and soul
As I grow up, each day at a time
I start to notice all the things that chime
The beauty in this world has always been there
In the stuggle and grind of every student, don't forget to always be prudent. Remember to pay you bills and make eye contact. Don't leave those passwords around to be hacked.
Someone walks up to you and says, “Isn’t everything Awesome?”
You immediately glance at them in a foolish way because deep down in your heart and mind you respond: NO! Everything is NOT Awesome.
Why?
Today was pretty awesome
I mean, i didnt win the lotto (that'd be awesome)
I havent met my prince charming or went to an expensive resteraunt
I didnt meet a celebrity
i didnt go anywhere cool
Awesome is a new life that takes on it's own meaning
A life that blooms as learning takes place and knowledge attained is worth gleaning
It's awesome how new stages of life evolve and come to be,
Broken glass, shattered dreams, words of discrimination shout from all sides
Hundred vioces telling you "No" but one "Yes" from God gives you hope to press on
Hope
It can never be taken away from you.
I looked outside my window and saw reflected off the pane
The poor disisions of my peers and all they had to learn in order to gain.
Never once did I resent them, hate them or judge.
Life Is awesome ,Even when we cant see,
The things that are happening,
are for things that are meant to be.
I dream of a day where freedom is tangible.
The fallacy in believing this taxed and restricted freedom
Freedom with limitation is no freedom at all.
Enslaved by means of a psychological militia.
As I walk down the aisle,
Wearing my cap and gown in style.
I realize today is the day,
That parents prayed for.
As I take my seat,
I look around and see,
The teachers who taught me,
"Baseline," the lady yelled
We ran to the line to begin practice
The sound of the whistle rung our ears and we sprinted to the other side and back
When I think of you, tears fill my eyes
I often wonder why me, that you have entrusted so many gifts within
I'm sometimes so afraid to express these gifts
But why? When you loved me so to give them to me
Options are endless beyond comprehension
The most dangerous thing to a person is a closed mind
It's the only thing capable of holding you back
