I was once a young man at 18
Who decided to leave you see
To a place unknown
And a language lone
That's where I decided to be
I was called to L.A.
So I flew right away
It’s amusing to me about how societal standards can affect one's mind deeply. It causes multiple questions to cultivate and confusion to disperse about identity.
AMERICA: The Land of the free and the home of the Brave
But are we really free?
This is my letter to society...
Now going into the new year
I no longer know where to steer
Afraid of what is to come
because I'm constantly changing
mind, constantly straining
things changing so fast
Sometimes, the hardest part about being heard
Isn’t being heard
It’s getting the word
From your thoughts
To your mouth
And from your mouth
To the outside world
It all starts with a dot
I whisper into the unsteady ear
Stealthily
I place doubt in the hearts of those who fear me most
I am
Uncertainty in love,
Wavering in faith
I am...
Don’t ever dream to wage a war
Against the powers that be
You’ll scratch and claw and only get sore
Warm salty yet smooth waves covered my feet like a blanket Trying to look past the currents- the waves and the boats
The release of my emotions,
The movement of my soul,
The language of my heart,
Dance.
There are no limitations,
no expecations,
but only beautiful improvisations.
Let go, to feel
They’re more scared of me, than I am of them
For the God I serve is alive not dead.
They are so naïve and they say they’re brave,
Yet they sit in offices and send troops to the grave.
Anchors aweigh sir, pray, sail away.
Those of Courage and Might this ship will stow.
The sea calls out good sir - I must obey!
Let us leave land, rock, sand, this very bay
