A new urge to resist and our desirable temptation, a world of many complections and complications.
I do not know this new feeling
It's very strange to me
My heart is heavy at the thought
that we no longer be
I felt a sadness in my heart
I don't know what to do
You say everything is fine
We like to make things
like to shape things
generate things.
Into a box, a line, a circle, a plane
all with our words,
all from our brains.
Late Adventurer
He hops in a van,
leaving neverland.
The ceremony of graduation
cannot subside his temptation.
He wanders.
The why is what I often had pondered.
Vegas.

The future inside of my head
one fathomed by my being
where adults can finally see
their teacher was right
sharing is carinng
caring is action
action is growth
What inspires me?
Listening to sound
Weather its music or backround noise
The ticking of a clock or tapping on the ground
It was the first gift he ever gave him,
Slipping past the men and women
of ancient streets in dimmed light.
Silver hues tinted the falling rain.
They crept through the halls,
You never notice that you have things good,
Until you see the people who don't.
You continue to reach for your goals,
Because you know that they won't.
Not because they're lazy, or refuse to try their best,
motivation and creativity
flow out of the porcelain mug filled with Inspiration
Inspiration
a lot of power resides in this single word
but what does it mean?
Living a double life, is easier than you think
Just wear the mask, loud and proud, no one will even blink
You play your role, you know who they want to see
The beloved son, the athlete, maybe even the geek
When I was born
I was labeled
You can’t be that because you are a women
you can’t be that because you grew up there
you can’t be smart because you didn’t go to a charter school
