We shall put on a mask

Everyday we shall put on a mask.
To hide the misery of doing our daily task
Instead of being ourselves we will conform
Inside lies the most violent storm
We shall hide from the truth
We have not been ourselves since our youth
We shall not enjoy the childish pleasures
Instead we’ll concentrate on meaningless treasures
When we get to that age
We’ll be disappointed and in rage
That we weren’t gutsy or brave
That we were just a pawn just a slave

Tip of the iceberg

When I look at you

I see past the tip of the iceberg

For some reason you hide your potential

And I am truly puzzled

I know what you’re meant to be

What you have the potential to be

And it is beautiful

I pray you take a leap of faith

Because I know you will not fall

You will spread your wings

Catch the breeze and sail

It's my time

Like I told you I write 
Yeah, It’s just to think 
It’s so I don’t fight
So I don’t sink
It’s my time 
Just mine 
Just I

When I look into my reflection

When I look into my reflection
I stare at every imperfection
I appear broken, even shattered
All of me in bits and pieces scattered
From the lack of understanding and compassion
These human instincts were once in fashion
Unfortunately greed, laziness and corruption got hold
Our society became bitter and cold
Where we have this need to conform
Too afraid to practice a passionate art form
Instead we are this predictable bleak gray
Just waiting to die and decay

Internal Battle

An internal battle, that takes a hefty toll

On your friends and yourself goals

The ying the yang

A loud disastrous bang

Caused by irresistible forces colliding

Then a great dividing

Now into the abyss

This time is bliss

Only time to revive

Now feeling even more alive

At last finding balance

And your exceptional talents

WARNING- Graphic Content Read at own risk

Your beauty is Undeniable

Your beauty is undeniable

I’ll always be reliable

Starting with your smile

Bright enough from a mile

You’re down to earth

Even past the bottommost spec of dirt

Your mind so pure

Easily the sorrow cure

I must confess

Why I believe I’m blessed

I’m your foundation

And Salvation

From that foundation you arise

From yours so do I

Spiraling beyond that blue sky

After that last faint good bye

Its simple love is an infestation

Uncontrollable and even Endurable through incarceration

Individuality

Natural Originality

With a crazy mentality

Creates a wicked Individuality

When not attached to any wires

It can spread like a wild fire

And it inspires

For those who aren’t afraid

Will be made

Others will have prayed

That they won’t become just another clone

That they were put out of their comfort zone
And one day these people will be well known

Strapping In

Just reached the summit

The adrenaline building up for the plummet

Strap in to start the cruise

Headphones in, listening to my tunes

Now scanning the powdery terrain

I’m flying like a jet engine plane

Take off on the jump

My knees take the big thump,

Up ahead, there’s the rail

The momentum gives me the power to sail

Almost busting I gain my stability

Now I got my mobility

Carving back and forth

Now at dusk I see my guide north

My ride ending to a near

I get excited for that frosty beer

At First Glance

At First Glance

Took one look and I fell in love

I was thinking to myself Wow what a dove

Kept looking for her around the club

Hoping maybe we could smoke a dub

I finally got the guts to go to talk her

Started a conversation found she was a transfer

Nothing could stop me not even a wicked song

I was hoping this night would be very long

Got her number and guarded it with my life

In my mind hoping some day that she’ll be my wife

The next day I told my friends They asked “what’s the sight”

I replied “Guys that isn’t right” there was almost a fight

I explained too them this is a sign of fate

Praying that she new I wasn’t just trying to mate

I finally called her that afternoon

I asked her out on the very first day of June

I was so nervous; worried that she might think I’m a fool

It turned out that she thought I was cool

She explained to me that she came here for a whole new slate

  I was thinking to myself she’s my soul mate

  Six months went by so fast

I proposed after a play with an all-star cast

We exchanged rings my parents thought I was a buffoon

Under the light of a magnificent blue moon

50 years later people asked us how we made it so far

We told them there were scars

At times it felt like were moving through tar

We pushed on though and knew

Our love is pure and true

Shackles

We lay in shackles

While the wood crackles

From the fire that consumes

And engrosses the world with fumes

Of desperation, and pity

A self-destructive species that thinks it’s witty

We look upon the stars

As if the world was a buried jar

With the slippery glass there’s no way out

Just an overwhelming drought

Billy would say we didn’t start it

A common answer that appears to be legit

But isn’t it our duty?

To protect this innocent raw beauty

To uphold the ideals we see fit

Or has the human race quit?

Twelfth Night

Twelfth Night

Love an uncontrollable force

An infestation

That has no remorse

Can be that best duration

Of your blessed life

Or as piercing

As that diamond in crested knife

No sugar coating it’s fierce

But when it is right

It’s comparable to that twelfth night

A fear of Rejection

A fear of rejection

Because you believe during further inspection

That there is nothing more

In you just a shallow shore

You pass by everyday

With a swirling heap of gray

Hoping, praying that you’ll find

A person similar to your peace of mind

 And you think

Every time you go to your shrink

With 7 billion souls

Your chances have some type of control

And that leaves you

Into a state askew

Just standing back

Looking through a mirror what you lack

My goal for this blog is to post something once a week every Tuesday.

I may get writers block, so if anyone has topics I'd love to hear them.

A good friend will let you fail...

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over. - Octavia Butler

http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/o/octaviabut170210.html#47VW3mirbjgFUDb2.99

Sometimes for me I will not learn something until I fail. When I mean fail I'm really fail, face plant into concrete fail. For me it's very hard  to see my family and friends fail. You keep begging them to stop, to just listen, because its for their own good. You wonder how the hell do they not realize what they're doing to themselves, loved ones, and you. The fact is some people will not get it till it's too late, till they get that DUI, till they go to jail, till they brake their leg, till they hit rock bottom, or even worse they won't and unfortunately will pass away.
And you wonder "How can I just sit back and watch?" Reading this quote about friendship from Octavia Butler is very truthful. You must know how to react to the different situations they're put in. Especially when they hit rock bottom. A true friend doesn't hang around only at your prime, but stays with you, at your lowest point. They take a seat with you when you throw the biggest party in high school, and the cops come to bust it.

Nature vs. Manmade

I saw a flower

So miniscule compared to a tower

But it’s beauty so superior

The tower so inferior

Though a piece of art

Created by someone so smart

But a flower wasn’t designed

Nor created by mankind

Instead a natural piece

It’s life only a temporary lease

Nothing is forever

Nor constant, always an unpredictable endeavor

But that’s the beauty

Nature’s easily attainable duty

The want, the need, to continue on

As we look forward towards the next dawn

I Stand Firm

I stand firm

Until I find someone else to take over my term

Holding up the weight of the world

Above the abyss with my arms curled

A constant evil trying to penetrate

Getting low so that a wave will not excavate

The life that has been created

A new protector has been awaited

A protector doesn’t need perfection

Just has to have a unique affection

For the good and bad souls

Otherwise there will be holes

And thousands of pounds will fall down

Everything will drown

Under the relentless waves

Will lay billions of graves

If you have any questions or thoughts...

Just leave a comment or email me.

Just Be You

Dash like the wind

Towards the place you’d like to be

No crack too small

No wall too tall

You can go with the flow

This will surely let you grow

Choose your own path

Don’t be intimidated by their wrath

Who cares if it’s normal

Normally fun isn’t abnormal

Live with tradition

Under your condition

Create something that’ll last for the ages

So beautiful that it’s displayed on stages

Always do right

You’ll be respected like a knight

The Dream

The dream

To be happy while you flow down the stream

Now this dream isn’t just sitting around

It’s up above on top of this monstrous Mound

And I understand I have to work

Even if it’s sometimes a knee jerk

Nothing should be handed over to me

Nature obviously agree

I want to be my best

And pass my test

The goal is to get high

Not just from that green ganja in the sky

But by natural pride

The feeling you get when you’ve really tried

You take that last advance

You’re drowned in excitement you might even dance

You feel thump-thump

Your heart filled with adrenaline just before a ski jump

You know deserve it

Because of the hours you’ve spent in the pit

Even if you lost your goal

You still gained some heart and soul

But eventually you’ll realize it’s worth the time
So you can keep up improving your prime.

Rejection

Rejection, something we all fear…

Is it because our heart will sear?

Finding out that the one you love

Who you even believe is a dove

Doesn’t feel the way you feel

And you cannot just simply spin the reel

Instead you have to accept your fate

That they won’t be your soul mate

Simply this is upsetting

But it is not worth regretting

There are plenty of choices
You just need to listen to the correct voices
