highlighters

power is pink
because of the “p”
innovation is blue
because of water
ideas and beliefs are yellow
because of lightbulbs
economics is green
because of money
geography is orange
because that is what was left


why do we associate colors to words?
why not?

me and us
Mindy Oct 2017
As i'm laying in my bed
Thoughts spinning in my head
No bullets exiting the weapon that is my mouth
Only tears flowing from the faucet that is my eyes
No one to save me from this bind
I'm alone with the noose that is my mind
When i'm alone with my mind my thoughts are in a hurry
When i'm alone with my mind my vision is blurry

When i'm alone with my mind all i see is the noose

The noose that tells me what to believe
The noose that tells me what to say
To think
To hear
To do
TO WANT

I fight the noose every day
I fight to ignore the things it says
I fight to rid of the thoughts it puts in my head
I try to ignore the things it shows me
I try to believe i'm really free
but it never works.
all it does is make me hurt
all it does is make me see
the thing it wants me to see
that all i have to do
to be free
is to put my head inside the noose
and jump
but if i jump
will i be
will i be truly free
or will i be tied down by the wrongs from inside of me
even after i have jumped
will all my thoughts forever be dumped
will i ever be truly free?

NO
never will anyone be truly free. never will anyone be saved from “their sins”. because there is nobody to save you. there is nobody to blame yours and the world's problems on. so no,
we will never be free
not you
nor
me...

school
Mindy Oct 2017
wake up
get dressed
walk in
sit down
write
solve
read
speak
don't speak
“learn”
repeat every day
for four
years
then choose
where you'll be
for the next four years
then step
into a world
you know nothing about

stop and think
Mindy Oct 2017
stop
think about
what you have
done with your life
have you succeeded yet
have you paid your dues
have you found love in life
have you found your light in life
no
you havent
and what will
you do about that
will you sit and pout
will you wait your life out
or
will you
go out and
do something about it

— The End —
