Smokey whispers awaken my spirit
In the middle of the night

A somber hope arises in the atmosphere
In the middle of unconsciousness

Dainty aspirations reach out
As I pull them in

The fear is obsolete
Despair is no longer mine

I give in sans contemplation
And I fly high
Into darkness

Build a cage
You see

Would you cage infinity?
But it's 3am, I captured the changes of advantage points in you.

This was not planned. You view the beautiful skyline above, when all I see is blue. Seeing through the naked eye occured rarely, with reflected risk.

Time is a mechanic, it still orbits our imaginations.
Her braids behind her head
flew with the steady breeze.
She rode her bike on her block
and she would climb trees.

Her bare feet were covered in dirt
wearing her checkered brown dress.
She would eat ice cream on her porch
and she had hope for the best.

She had a creative imagination
playing in all different ways.
Playing with dolls and dirt
would occupy her days.

She is grown up now
and if you look in her eyes
you will see it is me
and how time flies.
I didn’t eat last night
It was hours since the last time I had ate
I don’t know why I wasn’t hungry
I felt more sick then hungry
A couple hours later I went upstairs
I do what I gotta do in the bathroom
Then I go to bed
I hop in bed, get under the sheets, and close my eyes
My eyes open
I can’t sleep
My on my bed laying in the dark
Since I was up I went to the bathroom cause I still felt sick
This one I felt like my throat was closing
I go back upstairs when I’m and I turn on the light to see if I could sleep better
Looked at the time
I close my eyes
Wake up an hour later
I feel sweat coming down my face
I touched my forehead no sweat was there
I wiped my face and there was sweat
My eyes itches
I rub my eyes and their wet
I freak out I go to the mirror and I look at myself
I’m breathing hard
I look and the mirror and my eyes are red
I was crying
Why?
I had a nightmare
I realized that I’m crying, breathing hard, feel like my throat felt like it was closing
I was having an anxiety attack
Everything felt like it was falling apart
It was
Everything
And I couldn’t control it.

Be the change you want to see
Try not to judge, let others be
The rain will stop, the storm shall pass
Pleasure is pleasing and love can last

Set up for sorrow, it's hard to see
Open your eyes, switch off your tv
Put down the remote and venture outside
Get out in to nature where healing resides

Turn off your phone, log off the net
You'll be surprised with the solace you get
Write a poem, cook a nice meal
Declare your love, see how it feels

Put away the plastic, stop doing your hair
Go back to basics, even though it's rare
Laugh at your troubles, hug it out
Why are you frowning, what's that all about
A sign of the times, the information age
Escape from the trap, break out of your cage

Tell me now, how do you feel
Please keep it up, do we have a deal
Memories last but gadgets do not
Live your life fully, run from the rot
