Psychedelic scenery floating ‘fore your eyes.
Blue-suited Principals wearing two-tone ties.
Hazy-gazed burnouts who cannot count to ten.
Corduroy robots reading Steinbeck’s pen.

Academic junkies roaming though the halls.
Starchy marching minions hearing the drummer’s call
After-school side hustles, workin’ to earn some dough.
Smoke-toking teachers sharing what they know.

I wear my mask when I go out to control what’s on display
At Friday football parties and keg stand soirees.
I hide my mask when I’m alone to keep my nature pure
Revealing to no one else the fact I’m insecure.

We made it through a troubled time
Of change and introspection.
We viewed our goals with raging fear
And pursued them with keen aggression.

Get faded
drink an Arizona Mucho Mango
tell your dog you love them
find peace

it’s the way
the music moves me
the way
my body falls back,
it’s the feeling in my brain
that says
“play pretend”
that’s what my high is

it’s everything
i used to
want.
every word swallowed,
every mask i
put on,
unprocessed feelings
im scared to
***** up

I used to think that higher meant escape,
That feeling weightless was the only way.
I’d chase whatever helped me lose my shape,
Until the night consumed another day.

I thought each fix would find the joy I’d long forgotten,
But clarity would hit — so sharp and sudden.

Chasing every high will have you
digging at rock bottom.

High school hallways
Always so full
But always empty
I walk trying to imagine
That you're not selectively rewarding
But you always are
You were empty when I was

When will he get to experience you
He will
Won't he

If you lack something..
Don’t worry
Be ready to explore the way you go...

If you don’t have wings
Your willpower will be your wings

If you don’t have willpower
Your confidence will be your willpower

If you don’t have confidence
Your belief in yourself will be your confidence

If you don’t believe in yourself
Your strength will be your belief in yourself

If you don’t have strength
Your self analysation will improve your strength

If you don’t know to analyse yourself
You must focus on your dreams

If you don’t have dreams
You must think about your obligations

And no one is here without obligations
Make the best use of yourself to perform all the obligations
You are always a outcome of the mould you created by yourself
Make proud of your parents
To feel their goodness in you 😊✌🏼

Stop Complaining,
Stop Contemplating,
There is no worrying,
Leave behind Discouraging,
Everything will be Alright,
if you would just let go
of the frustrations, and
Go and fly a Kite,
It will be quite a sight,
It will bring to you Delight,
As the Kite soars,
in the Beaitiful sunlight,
Up, up, and  away,
As the Kite reaches it plight,
What a Beautiful day,
as the sun Shines Bright,
So, why don't you go out, and
JUST FLY YOU A KITE!!!
