...So They Both Walk in class, sits down and the teacher
Tells them to take out the quiz of math, the class sighs in frustration,
He stares at her from across the room hoping to have some continuation,
Maybe of the little encounter they had in the hall , or the eye contact that
Overwhelmed him for 20 minutes,
Class ends and then they all leave and head out the door, he almost
Tripped , face almost hitting the floor, As kids laugh,
There she goes standing over him again, Rosey red cheeks , so nervous
That she can barely stand,
She says, "Hey think you might need a tutor for the weekend" he replies "um
Mmmmmmmmmmm" Nervously , she laughs and gives him a piece of
Paper "Here's my number , just text me the address and I'll be there in a hurry...
By the way the names Felicia" And she walks off with a smile,
Hasn't had a girl give him her number in awhile,
Except this cute teenage beastie back in seventh grade knowing that cute teenage beastie with no name since kindergarten,
Reminiscent toward the days when they would ride they're bikes to school in a trance listening to mp3's of techno music they couldn't buy , back when he
Lived in Colorado,
He always knew her but she never would reveal her name, he knew that when
He moved that he would see her someday, she use to where a hoodie and a pink
Shoe string around the wrist to hide the cuts, kids bullying her in school and every time she walked home they called her nuts,
Because he was there to witness it all and stopped those kids,
But why they picked on her? Is because of what her mother did,
Her mother is bipolar and has been on drugs forever,
Carrying the burden, he would never ever leave her, but he did,
Thinking back when he would spend nights cuddling her to sleep,
A lot memories don't stay in peoples minds , it just repeats,
So he gets up , walks into the hall and heads to lunch,
There was a person with a hoodie watching him walk and such...

Father, hear me
I pray it all goes through.this message in my heart spilling out to every one of you. 2017 comes fast in like a rage and every day is just another turn of a page. Are you thinking about the future? What we can become? Were not concerned enough to gathering as one. 2017 and theres still a civil war run by a bunch of suit and ties trying to settle a score. When will the madness end will we just die in sin or will we wake up to the beast within. You say we'll make a policy bring in a reciprocity all along I see us losing our velocity. Believe me! Its coming hard and fast! We got our eyes shut and were headed for a fan! All our efforts to maintain a social acceptance all the while taking our antidepressants! Patching up a hole in a sinking ship yet when push comes to shove the elite will let her rip. Do you see what the problem is? Its not guns in the hand its the focus of the man. One hand over his eye he sees with darkness blind where he thinks he can find some peace in mind. Bro, listen. Its a lie. You gotta let it die.. Leaving behind the ego and pride. **** the sun, **** the sky all thats left is night. Darkness around us to seek the only light. From a glass dome to back home where we tread and roam we toil at ambition while The Spirit moans and groans. Why? What joy is there in being a slave? Were not made to be just toys to be played. Creation! Creator! You say now "wheres the equator" read up on some research you'll answer it later. Get back to basic training im on my knees and praying that the dragons and the demons we get tired of entertaining. Too many puppets! Cut the strings! Learn to deny control and spread your wings! On eagles wings we were meant to soar but you got your hands out to some corporation begging "please sir, may I have some more".
Its time to get up, stop begging on the floor. Its time to start questioning what you're living for.

~Resolution~

Times like these...
Just make you want to get up and run.


Forget the ache in your knee,
forget the weight on your back.
Forget the problems in your pocket,
forget the secrets in your sack.

Times like these...
Just make you want to dive deep.


Forget the myth of what lurks below,
forget the cautionary voices in your head.
Forget the whispers of restraint,
forget the monsters under your bed.

Times like these...
Just make you want to take off and fly.


Forget the wings that remain invisible,
forget the winds which refuse to carry.
Forget the bottom that awaits you,
forget the beckoning arms of gravity.

And take that leap into
the great unknown...

Lost so much last year
that this one is blank
and for that, I am thankful
Regrets no longer hold my hand
and walk me across the street
for I have learned through my pain
to use my own two feet
here's to a year of resillience
of thought and humility,
brilliance.


What will you do?
Here's ten good things about myself....okay? THIS IS ANDY'S CHALLENGE!
1-I put others well-being before my own.
2- I try to help others be happy.
3-I would put anybody before myself.
4-I think that i am sort of pretty...
5-I'm creative with interior design
6-im not completely horrible at singing
7- im a survivor
8-i stopped abusing substances
9-i want to help others with their problems
10- im a good friend
Start of 2017 right.

No more resolutions,
Just start taking actions

My motto for this year.
Happy New Year poet friends!
Q Jan 2017
There's something about the first of January
That makes us all say
Here we go! A fresh start!
Time to make some big changes!
But I don't know
Why is that so?
When you find something good
Something motivational
No matter how small
Some way every day
You don't need excuses
To make a certain day count
Any more than all the others
And you realize
Every day
Every month
Every year
Has the potential to be
As important, beautiful, and meaningful
As you make it
Because the urge to make new year's resolutions has become too ingrained. Let's just enjoy today simply because it's the first day of a new year and not just a means to another self-serving end.
Happy New Year!

On New Year’s Eve, 2015,
I cheerily wrote you,
From the other side of the world:

“’Tomorrow is –
The first blank page
Of a 365-page book.’
Let’s make it meaningful!”

On New Year’s Eve, 2016,
I wholeheartedly write you,
From the same state:

“Thank you for joining –
The same cast,
In the same reality,
On the same paper;

Thank you for living –
The same words,
On the same page,
In the same chapter;

Thank you for wanting –
The same things,
With the same pace,
In the same manner;

Thank you for sharing –
The same story,
With the same close,
In the same series.”
For he who is never too far ahead of or too far behind me, and never too forward or too backward with me.

The galaxies in your eyes
make me dizzy
and the way you glance at me
makes me hope you'd miss me.

and your voice
spurs life in me
and your touch
makes me melt.

I wonder if you see
the way you mean to me.

and if you understand
the guilt I feel
for the damage done to me
and how easily you undo me
and my facades.

so this is the starting line
where our lives begin
from here on out.
this is where two become one
and one becomes two
in all the best ways.
