The game of plinko is very simple The player takes one single disk And makes a choice They must decide where to play With the hopes of the grand prize Once the move is made It can never be undone As it makes its journey It hit some bumps Slowing it down Steering away from your mark Only to drastically change direction For no apparent reason When it does finally reach the bottom It may not land where you had hoped But just by playing the game By choosing to make a choice You can shape the basis for the future You can choose your path But it may not always be what it seems All that matters in the end Is that you played the game

Plinko
When I was a young boy My favorite toys were transformers They were heroes protecting space And they taught me that I can be Anything All I had to do was transform The only thing missing was my spark I didn't know how to be something else Because I didn't know who I was Or where I belong Am I a Decepticon? Meant to destroy those around me Causing pain where I go And suffering where I've been Resorting to violence to solve my problems And deception to avoid confrontation Or do I rise up And become an Autobot And learn to love Create from the rubble of chaos And transform the world into something Into something else A better place where everyone Is a superhero

Superhero
In a room full of stars and light We listen to the sounds of the past Dreaming of the future By living only the moment we exist in We were all deep in our selves Each pondering the lives we built The paths we've taken And the memories that bind us to reality As the drugs sped up my brain My words came out slowly As though my voice were lined with honey But my thoughts came like a typhoon Thrashing about my ideas of normality Flooding my body with emotion And glowing in my eyes was a hallucination Where you and I gazed at the stars Watching as the world passed by below While the heavens reach out endlessly I kept grasping for a way to speak But the words never got out The moment was lost But the feelings remain

A Flower Called Change
There is nothing so sad As the idea of being Almost Almost got the grades Almost did well in college Almost got a good job Almost met the one Almost fell in love Almost got married Almost had a wife Almost had children Almost created memories Within the idea of Almost Is so much potential That can never be known

Almost
As I look to the sky I see the moon I close my eyes, dreaming to see you soon I glance away from the dark night sky To spark my pipe and feel the high I enjoyed the time we had Until you left when I was mad As I dream I exhale the smoke Wishing my heart was yet to be broke

When my sleep ceases My nightmare increases Thoughts slowly creeping Deep into my mind while weeping Of loneliness and dread Before I can even leave my bed Filling my head with a dark shadow While the sun still has its morning glow Blinding me with confusion, my happiness just an illusion I glare with eyes closed tight Screaming in my head "THIS ISN'T RIGHT" Some days I wish I was dead Some nights I hope to die in bed The isolation is choking me out Leaving me with hollow doubt And the stainless steel knife Stained with fear and strife That leaks from my heavy soul Like tears seeping through a cracked bowl I spend my days waiting for sleep So I can dream of a hole six feet deep

Morning Routine
Everyone says love exists in the heart But the explanation cant just be that part Love is something so much more than a muscle that can get sore Love is seen within the look in your eye When you see the golden sunset in the sky The look you make when your favorite movie is on Or how your eyes light up with your favorite song Love is tasted within your lips your smile brighter than a solar eclipse and your laugh an incredible combo of joy and beauty showing your inner glow Love is that feeling in your stomach when your here all of the sudden and it twists and groans and aches Like a bridge during an earthquake Love is in the very tip of your toes It spreads its way up your spine, up it goes All the way to the top of your head Where it makes your cheeks turn red Love is no single part of a whole but totally encompasses the soul Shaking me from the roots of my being Now that I know Love is just Living
