inhale

be aware
of what is on your mind
all the worries
all the hate
know them
feel them
steering every movement
spinning your thoughts
into oblivion
so that you can't remember
the you you once were
now stop

exhale

You’re not a poet because you know those ‘fancy’ words
You’re a poet because every word you write comes straight from your heart

You’re not a poet because people admire your work
You’re a poet because you write for your own contentment and not for people's consent

You’re not a poet because you feel alone
You’re a poet because pen and paper are your biggest companions

You’re not a poet because you understand emotions better
You’re a poet because you let them flow freely

You are not a poet because you’ve failed in love
You’re a poet because you’ve been in love deeper than anyone else

You’re not a poet because you are strong
You’re a poet because you don’t hide your weaknesses

You’re not a poet because you can heal hearts
You’re a poet because you know what it means to be broken

I hate this world
because of smartphone
this might sound odd
because it's our home.

We have all become stoic
and self-consumed
men of power, mere comic
nobody's amused!

I hate this world
but I love humanity.
the lovechild of God,
his purpose, its entirety.

We came here to live
and multiply and be happy.
We came to have fun and feel alive,
I hate that we've all become ******.

I hate this **** world
because of Donald Trump.
He's void of a decent word
I hate that he's so **** dumb!

We have to be politically correct
and most time racially sensitive.
About many things, indirect
About few things, proactive.

I hate this crazy world
but it still turns us all on
Just like an outdated centerfold,
That we can't afford to just burn.

I hate this world because of politicians
They lie to us and live off us.
I love this world because of morticians
In the end, they do a very good job for us.

Well...first I'd probably pay off all my student loans

And with the rest of the $10, i don't know.....

Chipotle or taco bell maybe?
