My purpose is the same.
In the past I have feared death greatly. The idea of death was not my friend. The idea of death caused me to be afraid and I could not evade it.  My problem was that I did not understand the inevitability of death; the necessity and freedom that stem from death. Although a brutal or untimely death would be tragic, there still lies a common thread in mortality. I do not fear the idea as much anymore. Life is what should be feared more.

Thanatophobia
I am a beautiful creature. A wonderful, Emotional, ****** soul. But I am embarrassed to admit that. I am a free spirit. Released from fetters or Tensions. I am a wild, Unstoppable heart; My beat shakes to the Earth's Core. For I am in deep; Metamorphosis Happening beneath layers of stories. I am an emotional warrior, Fighting for self love; Ignoring the river of hate from which I must drink. But, I often remember, That, while wandering the woods of growth, I may not be lost. My brain, my heart, my soul, my love are all but broken. Because, it is true that I am a Special, Spiritual, Hopeful, Loving child. And, neither my heart, nor soul rest believing differently.

Growing Pains
What is going on with this ****** up superiority? Discriminating because I am some kind of cultural minority Acting like you trust me when the two of us are together But when your friends come around you run off to something better To all of society you pretend you're not smoking your **** When you roll your joint you're high just like me Eating dinner with your parents you talk like a ****** On the weekends, though, you give in to teenage urging If only you would take off that mask and see, That when it comes down to it you're no different than me. We breathe the same air, though yours may cost more And when we go to school we walk through the same doors Maybe your hair is more blond And your nails are a little cleaner, Or you play fancy sports, So you look a little leaner I don't have a credit card, or hang out at the country club I work for what I want And am proud of my pay stubs So, have some consideration, it's not really that tough We all know your life is easy, but some people have it rough. If only we could learn that empathy is the goal Maybe you could act like you actually have a soul.

Clever Rhymes About Adversity
I lay under covers that are so warm Warm, just as the light seen in my peripheral. Suddenly, I am enraptured in divine quick sand. As if I am being deeply rooted into my place. Suddenly I am just a fiber in a piece of fragile cloth. But it is so warm. I sigh. What a true feeling To be adopted by this warmth.
