When I look into my reflection
I stare at every imperfection
I appear broken, even shattered
All of me in bits and pieces scattered
From the lack of understanding and compassion
These human instincts were once in fashion
Unfortunately greediness, laziness and corruption got hold
Our society became bitter and cold
Where we have this need to conform
Too afraid to practice a passionate art form
Instead we are this predictable bleak gray
Just waiting to die and decay

So I say...
**** THAT! I'm living my life, my way!

Like I told you I write
Yeah, It’s just to think
It’s so I don’t fight
So I don’t sink
It’s my time
Just mine
Just I

At First Glance

Took one look and I fell in love
Kept looking for her around the club
I was thinking to myself Wow what a dove
Hoping maybe we could smoke a dub
I finally got the ***** to go to talk her  
Nothing could stop me not even a wicked song
Started a conversation found she was a transfer
I was hoping this night would be very long
Got her number and guarded it with my life
The next day I told my friends They asked “what’s the sight”
In my mind hoping some day that she’ll be my wife
I replied “Guys that isn’t right” there was almost a fight
I explained too them this is a sign of fate
I finally called her that afternoon
Praying that she new I wasn’t just trying to mate
I asked her out on the very first day of June
I was so nervous; worried that she might think I’m a fool
She explained to me that she came here for a whole new slate
It turned out that she thought I was cool
  I was thinking to myself she’s my soul mate
Six months went by so fast
I bought a ring my parents thought I was a buffoon
I proposed after a play with an all-star cast
Under the light of a magnificent blue moon
50 years later people asked us how we made it so far
We told them there have been mountains we climbed
Almost all of them gave us scars
Some of them even came ill timed
We pushed on though and knew
Our love is pure and true

An internal battle, that takes a hefty toll
On your friends and yourself goals
The ying the yang
A loud disastrous bang
Caused by irresistible forces colliding
Then a great dividing
Now into the abyss
This time is bliss
Only time to revive
Now feeling even more alive
At last finding balance
And your exceptional talents

Just reached the summit
The adrenaline building up for the plummet
Strap in to start the cruise
Headphones in, listening to my tunes
Now scanning the powdery terrain
I’m flying like a jet engine plane
Take off on the jump
My knees take the big thump,
Up ahead, there’s the rail
The momentum gives me the power to sail
Almost busting I gain my stability
Now I got my mobility
Carving back and forth
Now at dusk I see my guide north
My ride ending to a near
I get excited for that frosty beer

Lately I’ve been in a depression
Too resolve I need a form of expression
I’m upset because of my expectations
These expectations arise many speculations
I wonder if my expectations are too high
All I do is simply rely
On the fact that people will do the right thing
Even if its as simple as pushing someone on a swing
Is that asking too much?
If that’s the case, people have lost their touch.
People need to do things for the right reasons.
Not just during the holy season.
Even in religion doing the right thing is rewarded.
You’ll go too heaven because you believe God has you recorded
That isn’t right, because you should do it without any recognition
Even if it’s against your tradition
My friends say that with these beliefs I will be trampled
But if one person gets a sample
I know that I have been successful
And I will die without being stressful

Love an uncontrollable force
An infestation
That has no remorse
Can be that best duration
Of your blessed life
Or as piercing
As that diamond in crested knife
No sugar coating it’s fierce
But when it is right
It’s comparable to that twelfth night
