So as I was sitting down
in class,
a very old man came in
and sat down next to me.
And as I was doing my work,
from the corner of my eye,
I could feel him staring at me.
And with discretion,
I tilted my head
to see what was he looking at.
But yes,
he was indeed staring at me.
And so I asked,
"Do you need something, sir?"
and he replied,
"Sonny, I just look at you
and I think to myself,
'****. How I wish when
I was his age, I took my education
as serious as this young man is..'".
And as he said that,
a rush of warmth rushed through
my entire heart.
I smiled and said,
"Sir, it's never to late to educate
one-self."

Education is knowledge,
and knowledge is survival, folks.

Even when I'm walking
next to her,
I am not whole
if I'm not holding her hand.
How beautifully
small,
and perfectly molded
for my hand
to feel at home.

As Autumn's wind
erase all the leaves
from that
Oak tree outside,
all those memories
that Summer
brought with her.
All those laughters,
all those tears,
all those whispers,
everything.
Gone.
Not forever,
but gone.
Now every morning
that I awake,
Autumn will embrace
my tender skin
and cover it with its kiss
to the point that
my entire body will be covered
in
goosebumps.
Yeah, Autumn
is now my present..

When she stares
at herself
in the mirror,
she swears up to the heavens
that she was
cursed with all those
imperfections,
but when I look at her,
I swear up to the heavens
that she-
that she is the most
perfect human being
I've ever met
in my ******' life!

In my eyes,
she's flawless.

And even
when I have absolutey
nothing
to offer her,
she still stays with me..

They say that
I need to
work on expression,
but what they do not know
is that they're
speaking
with a man that
writes all of his demons
in a journal;
encarcerate
them
into solitude.
And yet,
they say that I need to work
on
expression?

No.
Those Demons
are there for a reason,
so I cannot
express
any emotions whatsoever.

Greatness
is your capacity
and
willingness
to be of
service.
Service to love,
to peace,
to the beauty of simplicity,
but most
importantly
service to
God.
