22/M/UK Trying something new, I'm open to learning.
Have you ever thought about how life can flip a switch on you out of nowhere? You're going through the motions of an everyday struggle when suddenly, you feel an unknown power surging through your veins. Blood pumping, heart rate jumping. Your eyes already open but the veil of lies being lifted cleared up your vision. Your ears always hear what's going on but now you can actually listen to both the inner and outer world with high quality audio. Your nose knows the smell of life, the fragrance of balance. The sillage of revelation lingers in the air. Your tongue twisting as it tastes the torture of wasting time, only to be stilled by a warm cup of productivity. Your touch being missed by the one person who promised never to touch you again. Sensitivity in today's world is a touchy subject. PC culture is dominating topics of discussion. When did the world decide to start policing people's thoughts? The very thing that makes us individuals. Humans. Unique creatures. It's worrying that people are being villified for tweets from the past. Birds of prey lurking on the timeline, ready to catch their prey slipping with a bad tweet from 1984. As if a person can't change. If we don't believe a person can change from the poor decisions or ill advised thoughts they shared with the world from a few years ago, we might as well just give up now then. No point in self improvement, you're always gonna be the same regardless. It doesn't make sense to me. If our thoughts were on display at all times, there would be a lot more people being "cancelled" according to society right now. Or would cancel culture cancel itself out by cancelling the cancellers? Putting together letters to form a word. Putting together words to form a sentence. Putting together ideologies passed down from your parents, subliminal messaging from media, businesses, the government and your life experiences to form a thought. None of these should be as problematic in the world as they are today. Especially words. Words are powerful but what type of power they have depends on you. Choose words wisely when speaking, it matters. Don't let words targeted towards you affect your emotions, that leaves room open for you to be manipulated. Write to your hearts content, pour your soul over the page.

Visualising the better life I want to have On a beach in Turks & Caicos having a laugh Jolly moments sweeter than a lollipop Popping up in pop up shops, shopping till we drop Drop the top off the vehicle, a headless spider chilling, cooler than an icicle 4 wheels instead of 2, 'raris over bicycles A fraction of the enjoyment I see ahead of me To manifest the life I want, I visualise it vividly Frozen hearts warming up with the heat of love A metaphor for the comfort obtained from wearing gloves Drive away the vampires with a garlic clove Representing the bad energy I reject from below The things I think of when I'm not subject to sobriety include the higher ups destroying our sense of individuality Moulding people to adhere to the rules in society Working towards uniformity, abolishing variety Wisdom is a value I aspire to master Part of my recipe to avoid disaster Next on the list is demerara sugar, not caster Brown like CeCe Winans, singing about a box that's alabaster Carving her voice into the melody of the song Serenity surrounds the sound sharper than a prong Hitting the high notes, higher than hitting a **** Lyrics that speak to your soul making you feel like you can do no wrong I went on a tangent, curved away from manifestation That's what happens when your mind and pen have a miscommunication At least I had the foresight to have the realisation Brought to me by honing my skills of divination Back on track to attack the matter at hand Manifesting dreams is not something that can be planned Thoughts become actions so make sure your thoughts are grand And put the work in to forge a path towards the promised land

I read the news today It made me turn the other way The image that I saw, its too ****** to say The only clue I can give you involves decay Arrange the tulips, daffodils and roses Water them with tear filled hoses Tissues needed to wipe our noses A soul parts from a body like the sea did for Moses As the service begins we yell over the fat lady's song The music moves us but we know we have to stay strong People praying that the soul rests in a place they belong The soul was pure and righteous, they don't deserve to be done wrong The greenery creates the scene of a blossoming young life Taken by idiots with no aims playing around with a knife Cut to the end of the service and rumours ran rife That the perpetrators left their homes and relocated to Fife It blew my mind how loved this person was by the community Unfortunately no one person is subject to immunity Sad knowing that the killers escaped at any opportunity No justice being served, I hope they enjoy their impunity I come and I go, back and forth in my head The heavy thoughts in my mind weigh more than a tonne of lead But there's one thought that lead me to looking ahead I can't believe that there's someone out there that wanted him dead How can you violate a person destined to change the game A stellar human being with a *** of gold for his brain Those leprechauns stole this gift from the world, causing pain But we hope that there's a rainbow at the end of the rain

Vegetable Get a table to eat the fruits of your labour while it's acceptable The chance that you will reap the harvest again is probable You sowed the seed on good soil, you must have read the parable The feeling of tasting your success must be delectable Wrench The tools you use to pull and **** will make you hench The weight on your mind motivates you to hit the bench High intensity workout leaving you with thirst to quench   Hydrate yourself, don't sweat it, perspiration leaves a stench Xenophobia A fear of people of all races living in utopia The fear of long words is sesquipedalophobia A loop of horror, two fears that cause a mental dystopia I need abundance and nourishment, pass me the cornucopia Yield Why surrender freedom when you can run in a field Protect me from the evil ones, I need a holy shield A massive sword of words is much easier to wield No blood after the battle, no scars to be healed Zen I'm about to state something important, get a pen Be young at heart, look at life as if you were ten Question everything, when you get the answer ask again Deception is at large, don't get thrown into the lions den

Quality Describes a high level product, service or commodity Despite the fact that some may be seen as an oddity Unconventional ways of living upsets the authority Perfect my craft then pump out content, that's my priority Research Before you take in every word that's said at church Double check the message so you're not likely to lurch Flying from a canopy, the bird lands on a perch Branches don't fall far from trees, especially around a birch Souvenir Take home this car as a gift, it doesn't have a steer You'll have to make a short trip to see the engineer Unclog the engine and kick start your new career Reinvest in new markets, become a pioneer Telephone Ring around the roses, the petals are falling on their own Flowers rising when watered with wisdom and being alone Instruments designed to distract us from getting in the zone Meditate in silence and your inner calling will be known Undercover Work is hard, you can't wait to jump in bed beside your lover Jump in all directions and next thing you know, she's a mother Daughter born but she's feeling lonely so you need another Trampoline tricks turns to treating the daughter with a brother

Lacerate Rubbing salt in wounds causes the pain to exacerbate Sweet talk is not appreciated in a spicy debate Neither is being bitter when called out for being late Now everyone is sour and no one wants to be your mate Mission Going missing to work on a bigger vision Focused on my purpose and I've made a good decision Decide to ride the tide even in the face of derision Achieving my goals one by one, with accuracy and precision Negligence Ignore the first word that I wrote, it has no relevance The words that I desire to use require more elegance Linguistic prowess may be one sign of intelligence But periodically you forget the basic elements Obsecure An avant garde approach to life is part of the allure Rocking the boat with force can sink you if you're insecure Make sure your soul is calm and intentions are solely pure And prosperity will find its way to you, yes I'm sure Paleontology On top of pale tables using technology Taking notes of the origin of etymology Study the mind in the mirror, that's reverse psychology Mentally reflecting on the science of physiology

Atheist Athena would be disappointed if she did exist Exalt the Holy one or disappear into the mist Mistake a man for God and you won't even make the list Listen to the universe and you will get the gist Balloon Bouncing ball of joy popped by a harpoon Deflating all the hope of ever reaching the moon Can taste the sadness with a scoop of a teaspoon Enjoyed the moment while it lasted, what a honeymoon Chainsaw The buzz is killed when the auntie brings some coleslaw The uncle leaves her and he turns into an outlaw His opinions pack a punch, his stance is southpaw Dog eat dog world and he always eats his meat raw Door As one closes, others open up even more As you step through you see the golden floor Rainbows and clovers with leaves that add up to four The silver lining in the clouds that rain and pour Eroding the bronze and the copper forever more Epilepsy Flashing all your flashy items will lead to jealousy Evil eye evident anywhere you want to be Humbleness costs less than impressing humanity Its not worth the insanity to create a fake reality Flamboyant Male ants on fire due to heating up an oxidant Eye witnesses were present so let's see who was observant Crime scene's shady though reports say its an accident Looking for the culprits but people insist they're innocent

Grapes Caeser salad with a special plant for the apes Monkeying around until the animals escape Vanishing in the air like smoke from a vape Caution: loose gorillas, don't trespass beyond the tape Heartbreak Fractured aorta from stabbing his chest with a stake Sliced open the chest and dished it out like a piece of cake Heat it up in the morning, thats what you call wake and bake Surprised you didn't burn or hide the body in a lake Irony Straightening up the wrinkles in my clothes is a remedy Healing sounds of a smooth serene and soothing symphony Sonically cooking up sweet music filled with harmony Topped off with a deep message wrapped in sympathy Juxtaposition Opposites attract depending on the opposition There's no challenge if you're not afraid of your competition It's expensive to pay attention to your ambition There's a discount if you check out using intuition Kinaesthetic Moving art with strokes of paint while feeling apathetic Empty vessel of the spirit used to be prophetic Predicting miracles and feats described as majestic Home is where the heart is so we keep the love domestic

Empathetic. Mentally athletic. Too much of the sweet life will turn you diabetic. Sugar rush evoking an urge to be frenetic. The glucose in your blood stream is sticking there, it's magnetic. Crippling your immune system, that's not very diplomatic. Body temperature rocketing sky high, it's chilling in the attic. Unhealthy eating seems harmless at first but it's so problematic. Inducing laziness and low activity, leaving you static. I don't want to work for a boss with tendencies that are psychopathic. I don't want manual labour, I want my money automatic. Flipping pound coins and notes, make my money acrobatic. Flexible income streams, gold medal in gymnastics. Fantastic, stretch that dough for generations. Well bred children keeping active is preparation for the elevation of a nation. On a journey on a train stopping at the next station. Reaching the final destination. We want celebration, not desecration. Perpetual sacrilegious profanity will cause a mass declaration, signalling the disintegration of society due to miseducation. Segregation. Aggravation. Unjust starvation. The list goes on longer than a standing ovation for a patient who beat every single disease caused by contamination. My imagination is creating the foundation to make up an explanation. One that outlines that the creation of one of the most corrupt political systems was by a Caucasian group of people, on extended vacation, in an unknown location, renamed America by their dominant population. A merry go round of nonsense which doesn't appeal to me but comes to my mind so randomly. Taking time to dive into my inner thoughts like it's the deep blue sea. I think, I write, I read, I wait and see If the passage I create is meant to be. It's time to flip the script with a somersault. Take all that I've said with a pinch of salt. If you didn't get it the first time, it's not your fault. I got an explanation behind my rationale in my vault.

A great man once said demonstration speaks louder than conversation. So instead of talking about travelling the world with you, how about I just take you for a vacation? A trip into the depths of my mind. I think like no other person does, I'm one of a kind. Kind of you to even consider loving me knowing the amount of people you must have left behind. The certainty in your actions make me believe that if time offered you a chance to rewind, you would still choose to be mine. A woman like you is a rarity, losing you would scare me. The missing piece to my puzzle, you fit in my life perfectly. Your attributes are admirable, your achievements are legendary. You've got the intelligence of a scientist, just as well we got chemistry. The way you inspire me to be better, only you could bring that out of me. Transmuting a man from copper to gold, that's your definition of alchemy. As you stare out over the balcony seeing falcons and eagles, hearing seagulls and beagles, the animal kingdom appreciates that you're the queen of the jungle. There's no reason to mumble, be loud and proud about it. You have a bright future and there's no doubt about it. Alleviate my stress. Let me levitate on your compliments. Complementary like condiments. We don't have time for arguments, we break down issues and build up tents of security. Your vocal tone is filled with purity. Soothe me with your lexicon, your vast range of vocabulary. Communication in a relationship is necessary. Let me introduce you to my dictionary. The emotions you elicit from me are beyond extraordinary. I can feel the love in the air like its the middle of February. Can't call you my better half because you're more than whole to me. I know what you're capable of and it's time for the whole world to see. Thoughts coming through my head right this second telling me to let you go. But how could I ever do that when you're the person that helps me grow? I know it's forbidden love but rules are made to be broken. If I dream that we get married, I pray that I'm never woken.
