honey
don't ever be mad for being left

your part is to forget
and their part is to regret
Brett Palmero Nov 2016
It's always me
That does the all of it
Whether or not I agree
I have to commit

I can't be second best
It's not an option
To be like the rest
After all the exhaustion

So I choose to keep going
Despite how hard it may be
Punches I'll keep throwing
Until I'm free

and so I left
with a bag full of clothes
and head full of dreams

the setting sun
lit my way in gold
a warm breeze on my face
helped me put a smile on

No map or phone or gps
no direction and no care
forward. just forward
and forward still

and forward still

This aggravation to make it is shattering all my truth

For my pinnacle of patience is
bubbling in a soup

Young and geared in a suit, no tie needed

Because every step that I take will be one that is bound strategic

Cousin, sister and sister moving forward I see it

Stuck in my own beliefs, but will I ever believe it?

I feel like my goals are old, but how do I know if I don't proceed with
Simply starting to seed it

dreams buried beneath the ground, waiting for the rain to seep in

Guess I'm too busying sleeping,

wondering, daydreaming

When will this fiction end?

When I will I then Begin?
Let this crucifixion begin

for my future is in a needle
And that needle is holding threads, of my imaginary friends

Let this phase be a state of promise and not a revolving trend

I think it takes time for a person to commence to greatness

Because what I feel inside has traveled from a basement
To a place with, patience,

prominence and perseverance
My mental radio sounds clear, no fuzz or interference.

I'm glad my soul can hear this.

Pushed off the cliff
I begin to fall
Beginning to drift
Waiting for the angel's call

The world rushes past me
As I begin to descend
Wind screaming wildly
Maybe this is my end

This dive is killer
My demise stalling
All of life is just filler
To hide the endless falling

The ground never hits
Realizing this isn't dying
I gain bliss
As I begin flying

Fleeting minds do not stray,
no,
instead, they lead the way.

By Arcassin Burnham

......And I'm like why you gotta be so
Cold,
being completely open don't make you
Soft at all in the sequences that we follow,
I'm hallow,
To the way you speak the way I speak,
why you gotta be so cold,
Im just trying to make a mends so in
The after life I would be judged as an adventurous
good fellow,
I would not wanna waste your time,
You're  just out of line,
and I'm like why you gotta be so cold.

/

I have to praise you like I should,
Love you like I should,
Bring the ocean and the stars to your location
Like I should,
creative mountains of our futures together,
Bleeding out bliss and collecting
Photos of our past life in which we escaped
At a young age,
Forgetting the eternal struggle,
We've learn to love without hate,
We've learn to go forward,
We've learn to make the best
Of this,
We've come along way.

The history of mankind
Is a history full of repeated injuries
Without a soul
Some of us stopping living
Quite a time ago

Even if you despise society
Perhaps your own generation as well
Time cannot help but to glorify the past

All of us should know
While waiting for the right moment
The world doesn't pause

Nor should we
Life progresses forward
With or without us

All I want is to be happy
For everyone to feel okay
But that's not the reality
The outlook looking grey

What does it mean
If life is so worthless
To escape the machine
We start to lose purpose

If people are willing
To just throw it all away
Because it's not fulfilling
Then why should I stay?

I am answered quickly
They come running
Knocking on my door already
Making sure the sun is shining

It's dark outside
The sky a work of art
I can no longer hide
As people warm my heart

Can we rise without falling?
Or is it a necessity?
Idea of stopping now, calming
Yet we move forward endlessly
No matter how hard the climb
It's always one step at a time

Sometimes all I can see is darkness
That there's no hope left
But stars shine the brightest
With the inky black abreast
To achieve a life so sublime
It's always one step at a time

No matter how scary the future
Or how dark the unknown
Even if the path is rougher
And I am left alone
I will make life mine
And take one step at a time
College be like
