A kid in search of a land free of worry / / I'm a student who recently got interested in this writing stuff, started mainly as a stress reliever. / / / "My thoughts flowing free is my escape from reality" / / / I appreciate feedback!
Motorbiking in Paris through the small windy streets Nearly getting hit with a bike near the prostitutes in Amsterdam Getting ditched and running across Berlin at 6 AM 5 story club, all you can drink tour, and 80 cent beers in Prague Surfing in a garden then drinking in the beer gardens in Munich Ruin bars and getting ruined at them in Budapest Walking hungover on the triple bridge in Ljubljana Sipping a spritz on the canals in Venice Throwing back mojitos with the locals in Florence Roaming around the ancient ruins in Rome Partying until the sun is up and more in Barcelona

Across Europe
Get out there Yeah I'm talking to you Who else would I be there's nobody in this room Anyway, I see you've been oblivious to the outside world my friend Don't worry, for I will help you from this worrisome trend There's a lot more going on beyond the hills and past the evergreens Even thousand of miles further where the Queen meets the teens By all means, you can stay here if you so choose Just know you will be missing out on the world's best views An adventure of fun, and experience that is second to none, in a beautiful destination with plenty of women and *** It is not healthy to just stay in once place too long Your perspective can get narrow even if you feel like you belong You learn most from your fellow people with each moment building upon the last creating an incredible wanderlust that you are very fortunate to have So get out there The world isn't going to knock on your door

Get out there
I want to be free, Like a squirrel choosing between many trees, not like a man on one knee. Like a seagull hovering near the ocean breeze not like a mouse trying to get cheese. I want to be free. Not listening to orders like some drone or trying to sell things over the phone; I want to create my own throne all homegrown, Not lying to myself and others with no backbone or hearing my failures through a megaphone I want to be free. But what does that really mean? It's not something given in your genes. Is it doing what you want whenever or is it living in the wilderness on some clever endeavor forever? Or just having enough to indulge in more than just a lean cuisine. I want to be free, but there are no guarantees I don't care if all my colleague's succeed it doesn't mean much to me. What good is a bachelor's degree with all the debt attached in actuality? Studying long hours, getting good grades, just to be an interviewee? Not for me, so hear my plea I want to be free. You need to be free, you should want to figure this out, or else I fear you will forever be in a drought. Feeling like something's missing, but you don't know what. You may think you know somewhat, but just know there are no shortcuts. You will not succeed if you hold great doubt, so please just hear me out. You just have to at least try to be free and not care even if it doesn't work out.

I want to be free
Just one more couldn't hurt right? I mean I've done 6 before in just one night I better hurry so I don't miss my flight I'm not going to a known place, however but in a place no ones ever thought of where creativity runs free without control And I'm just along for the ride Space to Space I flip Deity to Dimension I travel From being dropped into a pool of my own ignorance Or sliding slowly off of an edge I cannot out run I can't feel myself, only ego is alive now. The best part there is no comedown. I just lay back until I fall asleep. But this time was different I woke up to bright lights and my mother weeping

One More
I could've been a lord or a captain Dispensing orders and leading a team Yet I'm as average as can be I could've been an athlete or an actor Running to happiness or pretending to glory Yet I'm as average as average can be I could've been a singer or dancer On the grand stage hearing fans scream Yet I'm average as can be I want all these things not one or none But growing up I was told it cannot be done I'll lead my own way to stardom without anyone's help I want the world to look up at this nobody and say We need your help

Average.
I think I might be going mad Like a traveler without a map On a land absent of help Like a ship without a captain On a sea with fog so thick you can't see Closing my eyes only lets My madness flow free Imagining strange places Sometimes beings without faces Rather a new world, a dimension perhaps On a different plane But still in the same place Unable to be seen yet Running rampant in our dreams How come I can only see them When I'm asleep

Insane
You and me Used to be Harmonic company No one like you, No one like me Our heads in trees Swinging in glee But then one day I saw you in an intriguing way Then we talked you felt the same But it wouldn't work We saw it the same We went our own paths along different roads Even though I still miss you so

You and Me
I miss those late nights on the phone Giggling and laughing together but all alone Hearing your smile from afar I would give anything to rewind Everything seemed to change so fast, I've fallen behind To the point where I don't know if I even belong in your life I would give anything to go back, reverse the strife within But it's long past the day as I type this in dismay I'm not asking to be forgiven, just to meet me halfway

Halfway
Here's to my funky friend of mine Who I love to hang with and commit some crimes You know that we doing everything only for the vine and sometimes drop those silky smooth rhymes And even though we've been apart some time I feel like you've become more than just a friend of mine. Hit after hit you know the bruhgles never quit Until we're a little too high than we would like to admit Every night is a good night when you're always down to smoke Even though we are probably cooking our heads slowly to yolk But we continue to laugh because life is just one big joke.

For Ari
An onslaught of rain dripping on his battered sneakers, Head down with grief he just wants to call the reaper. His plentiful cries disguised because of the tormenting sky. No more love in his heart, even outside it appears dry. He repeatedly asks why, the sorrowful beginning of his demise. His head soaking wet, just this one moment left him baptized The blink of an eye is too quick for a soul to leave it's eyes. Even the most wise of our time couldn't protect the prayers of this size. That memory controlling his head, taking up all the space once used to plan ahead. He had committed no crime, but he sees in constantly stuck on rewind. Nowhere to go, Nowhere to be, he crawls to the phone booth to hear her voice one last time.
