your bubble has been burst and you
plunge into the middle of a boundless ocean.
you were a big fish in a small pond but now
you're bottom feeder in a bottomless abyss where
if you don't keep swimming,
you'll start sinking.

but even as you get immersed in the filth
don't let it stain the purity
don't let it drain the joy
that is in you.
and though the wind howls and the waves crash,
keep your eyes wide open
so that you may readily
glimpse victory:
tomorrow
this storm will be chased away
by blue skies and a glorious morning.

don't let those dark circles under your eyes
take away that bright future.
don't let those tears
extinguish the fire of your spirit.
do not just struggle,
conquer.
do not just survive,
thrive.

fear is normal
but don't let it devour
and drive you to flee or freeze,
instead
be strong and courageous and
in good faith
Fight!
you may not have a back-up team,
but Someone has already gone before you
and He who started
will also see to it that
it
is
finished.

Stop!
Stop please!
You don't know me!
You don't know what I had to go through!
It's over I conquered the storm!
I'm not scared of your harsh words no more!
I have the victory and the power!

We are more than the whole,
Are lives define our life
What we make,
What we create,
What we destroy
We are the janitors,
We create life
We take life,
What are we?
Are we gods?
Are we demons
Good,
Or
Evil,
Does it exist,
Are we the sum of our parts
Each different,
But together a whole
Do we change,
Are we meant to obey
Do we fight the power,
To fulfil our destiny.
We are the children of earth
But are we destined to be stars,
Can we survive are stupidity
To be better than we are
We are separate,
Are we one.
Can we evolve past the hate
We are kind,
We are not
Human,
But
Animal instinct,
Can still control us,
To conquer,
So much harm to another,
But we wish for peace so much
We are separate but we are one, never forget we are human.
I'm pretty scared looking down into the abyss,
Not knowing what to expect from its vastness,
It's hard to explain my paranoia,
And hard to understand my timidness,
But I have overcome other fears,
And I will conquer this one too,
If  not today,
Then tomorrow,
If not tomorrow,
Then one day,
I will come back and look straight into the abyss.
I fade in to a coma of unawareness, where I sit in my mind not focusing on nothing as if I'm just floating in a starless space, but as sudden as I fade I embark on the memories process, of remembering everything precious memories at a time.

But as soon as I remember you,  then everything I've live, love and loathed becomes irritant, only you please my mind, as if a have known each other for years and years and only now I have realized I've been lost!

As I set to take the slow journey of gaining enough strength to conquer the massive mountain of confusing and teenage embarrassment which is the process of speaking normally to you

I tumble

But next time around, I won't be awkward, ill start a conversation maybe ill get out a nerdy greeting like hhhheeeelllooo

After this embarrassment that is my social interaction, I start the draw out process of teenage rehab, of question weather your worth the effort
But that me trying to rid the discomfort
But I should just ask

But

If she shows the attention, ill be listening but not judging
If she leaves ill question but won't push
Ill be annoyed, but not to the point of anger towards her. But to myself, what if I talked less?
What if I cleaned my act and didn't act like a mess?

Was it worth the show

But if I knew what I know now then,
I would look to the sky and say I painted that for you,
I would take you to the sea and say I've crossed that for you
I would bring the most beautiful rose and I picked that for you
As ridiculous as that sounds

I know She'll be out this listening but won't be hearing
She'll be seeing but not processing

So the next time I climb that mountain
Ill be weary but not reluctant
I would be confident, but not arrogant,
Playful but not childish
So I can build enough strength to get out another hhhheeeelllooo

I was gonna rip his heart out. I'm the best ever. I'm the most brutal and vicious, the most ruthless champion, there has ever been. No one can stop me. Lennox is a conqueror? No! He's no Alexander! I'm Alexander! I'm the best ever. I'm Sonny Liston. I'm Jack Dempsey. There's never been anyone like me. I'm from their cloth. There is no one who can match me. My style is impetuous, my defense is impregnable, and I'm just ferocious. I want his heart! I want to eat his children! Praise be to Allāh!

-Mike Tyson
Among the mountains and oceans we claimed,
Environments we no longer know,
Starvation from the knowledge lacked.
Strange men of unknown origin push us away
With feathered spears and their spirits
Flying above us like the angels we seek.

The spread of our culture like margarine
Angers the earth it's ancestors tread on;
War and thievery. Disease and infection
Was wildfire in a land containing no such
Immunities to the harshness.

First cities died as infants, stillborns
Of history and freedom, yet
They survived in their determination.
