Where to run
Where to hide
Emotions blowing
Up inside

Should I stay
Or should I go
Should I rise
Or stay below

I'm not certain
of my future
I'm tired of living
in my past

Am I trying
Way too hard
Or am I moving
Way too fast

I am constantly
Perplexed
What's the choice
I should make next

Which higher power
Should I ask
Which one is
My most important task

Typical youth
Indecision
Cutting through life
With no precision

What is my purpose
What is my mission

She fell into
      Captions, summarizing
    her Raw
             Emotions
           unAware
            the Mounting
                     Empty space
                was Devouring her

The  two  most  powerful
warriors are patience and time.

Be careful who  you  make
memories   with  --  those
things  can last  a lifetime.

Don't   judge   others   just
because  they sin  differently than you.

Sometimes life is about risking
everything for a dream no one
can see but you.

Sometimes   wisdom   means
staying  quiet  while  others
loudly express their ignorance.

The key to keeping your balance
is knowing when you've lost it.

Our relationship should be a safe
heaven,  not a   battlefield.  The
world  is hard  enough  already.

Life is a journey to be experienced,
not a problem to be solved.

You could be my "come and stay"  
in a world of "people come and go."

The only thing I'm committed
to right now    is bettering myself.                                  Jon York   2019

I have a sentence to life
And the warden is Death.

what is a man-made education
getting a job,
not working in your field,
as that degree, hangs dusty on the wall, yet
we passed the class,
we made the grades,
we're smart, yet we keep ******* up...
you know it, I know it,
we all know it.
