The burden of a thousand sheets of paper
all with the design to make me smart.
A thousand sheets of paper, so that when I grow up, I can play the part.

Music
the dancing it induces
and the embarrassment that dancing brings

The Day
let the Sun conform you to society's needs.
it can't be that bad, right?

****** drawings and half-assed notes
reminding me that there is room for improvement
and that I am also really bad at drawing.

Legos
a reminder of simpler times
always stay young.

A snorkel
so that if I am sinking underneath the waves of society
I may yet still be able to breath.

A nut, as a reminder that we all had a starting place
and to remind us that we all had humble beginnings.
that there will be time enough for growing.

A ***** dish
to signify that there are always ways you can help others
and that you should clean up after yourself

Failures
and successes
and those things between them which seem to be neither.

The Night
A time for Stars to shine
and the Moon to show its true self, don't be afraid.

Blank Space
for things yet to be discovered
and things not meant to be discovered.

A failing corpse, mine
A remnant of my youth, not quite gone
but on life support, don’t leave.

Borrowed Pencils
Oops
I should return those.

A poem, the final draft
written with a clouded mind
and an optimistic soul.

All these things
yet room for more
full, yet in truth empty, like my stomach after lunch.
