I am in a solid state
Neutral no moving parts
The only thing I feel
Is the beating of my heart

Thump! Thump!
I feel against my chest
Leaving me to think about the rest
My nervousness has frozen me
Allowing me to be no longer free

This paralysis inside of me
Will it be for eternity
I can not even move my eyes
How will I know when the sun arise

This solid state that i'm in
Has me thinking i'm growing thin
But how could I know
I'm only numb
I could not feel a ***** at my thumb

All I know is this is my fate
To forever live in a solid state
If I could only have one more feeling
That would be great

I open my eyes up
And I see the world as it is
I ask myself is this how it's going to be
I ask myself are we really free

What choices do I have
Hillary or Trump
Like seriously man
Are you kidding me

One people say is a liar and cheat
The other one people say is a racist with a hair piece
Are these really the choices I have
Must I just accept the world as it is

Either way the USA is gonna take a lost
I know we must pick a president but at what costs
Either way its gonna be a downfall
The american citizens are gonna take it the hardest of all

This is the world as it is
But the presidential polls
Isn't the only thing that is taking its toll

Black lives matters yes they do
But to me all lives matter that is a true fact too
Cops killing innocent people without conviction is wrong
But we can not retaliate on the police an take their lives
For two wrongs
Do not make a right

What happened to the peace that MLK wanted
He wanted us all to get along
Is that wrong?
Must I just accept the world as it is?
This is basically just me expressing my concern for my country

My days are counting down
I am almost done can't mess up now
These years have flew by From Freshman To Senior
But I ask myself have I been a great leader

Have I made a difference over these years
Have I helped those I love heal all of their tears
I ask myself as these last days fall
Did I really stand proud and tall

Did I do what was right
Corrected all my wrongs
I am about to be rewarded for these twelve years
that lasted so so long

As these last days are falling
I can finally say
I can be free at last from
Ole L and E
This is about the last days of high school as i am about to graduate on May 26 I now how 8 days left

As you walk that long road
A road that is called life
It can be filled with greatness
It can be filled with strife

Down the Road
There can be challenges
There can be obstacles
There can be downfalls
But all of them leads
Down that one road

That one road is Everything that contains you
That one road is
what you love
what you hate
what you cherish
what  you create

Down the road
You will find yourself

Is the way I think weird
Should I hide it from the world
Or should I be open and
Let it unfurl

Should I say what I think
And think about what I say
Because everything that comes out my mouth
There is a price to pay

These prices are called consequences
They can be good or bad
They can make me or break me
Change my mood from happy to sad

These things I say
The choices I make
Every single road I take  
There is a consequence to pay

The way I think is unique
For my mind is beautiful
Like roses fresh
From a flower boutique
I know I haven't wrote a poem in a while I've just been very busy with high school and all I am going to try and write more poems if I can I am going to prove that I am serious about my poetry and I hope everyone likes this one that I wrote and the way I think and how there is consequences for everything you say and do
