Am I wrong for wanting more?
For not settling for less
Knowing I can earn way way more?
Am I wrong?
To be a free
To have a piece of mind not tied by the chains of mankind

Am I wrong for chasing impossible dreams?
When you are what you believe
And your beliefs are your thoughts

Your insecurities are my strength
Your fears are my bravery
I am an Admiral and the world's my navy
So I'll go far and wide
Until I'm no more
Until my dying breath
I'll fight
Craving my own path
Alorica is the name of Call Center in Jamaica.

Goals Made Me Tough
They couldn't change me
Even if they wanted to
My Integrity and loyalty are on
The strongest groove=
despite all of these trends
in today's Society
I don't budge not even an inch
Not because i can see into my future
But because  i have made peace  with my decision
More focused than ever
I have a job to complete
And that's to live my best life

lux
the bulb fell apart
the light went out
the idea is gone
the dreams torn apart
your life long goals
crushed in mere seconds

I’m a paradox.
I say I don’t care,
when I really do.

I say I don’t need someone
to ask me how I am,
while I am longing them to.

I say my voice matters
and act as though it doesn’t.

I want someone to know my emotions
when I haven’t told them
and never want to tell them either.

I want to be happy
but I think of sad thoughts.

I am lazy,
yet I am ambitious.

I crave attention,
love and support
but reject when it
comes in my way.

I am strong,
yet run back to the ones who hurt me.

I am a conflicted contradiction.

‘bout to give it up for this,
need to pick up a sign of bliss and
let the devil miss
im in a vessel
need to wrestle out of it
to be freed outta his-
control
maybe stars need to align
to let me
reach my goal

desire is quicksand
a trap to suffering
the liberating tree branch
is knowing your desires
are imaginary and fleeting
you can let them go

happiness is easy
it's easier to drink soda
than juice celery
it's easier to scroll facebook
than read a book
it's easier to watch internet ****
than romance your lover
it's easier to freeze the fat
than exercise and eat well

yes, happiness is easy
but when did it become
another addiction?

we explore the world
but what good is that knowledge
without creation
we create works of art
but how limited are our creations
without exploration

we are human
we cannot be perfect
but we can always be better

the grass and plants
the trees and leaves
they all seem to dance
in the cool light breeze

this world is theirs
i’m just passing through
they lessen my fears
as i write a haiku

thank you sweet nature
for your peace and care
i will be less of a stranger
with time, I swear
