My mind is wandering
Going to places I've never been
Trying to acquire wisdom
But all I've got is boredom

Procrastination is my enemy
And laziness is envy
I am chasing a dream
Should I wake up now or stay asleep??

No energy
Inside me
Trying
Honestly to figure
What it is that motivates me

I know I like to beatbox
I know I like to rap
But how do I find
The gasoline to the generator?

The generator that runs
Deep within all of us
I need it for my schoolwork
But all I feel is a dead buzz

Someone, help?
Need da motivationzzzzzzzzzzz

I rather not talk
I do not stop to think why I just ***** you
All I know is that my shins are made of stone and my feet feel white hot

This bed is a sanctuary, a resting place for my soul after a dreadful forge that hammers me alive. Drops of myself have leaked into the furnace I live out as working days

You look straight at the other end of the wall
waiting for me to catch myself

I know only how soft you are and nothing else matters.

You were glad before I touched you

A sorry is locked inside its jail and the steel bars of yearning has its keyhole, but my other self won't pick it open. I refuse to come out.

I know only instinct
And I want you. All for myself...
Being a bad boyfriend and inconsiderate

I was stuck so long
In a rut so deep.
It's a simple song
About how I took a leap.

I wanted nothing to do with him.
Greg was not so shy.
Who saw the light that was so dim
To notice I'd fall in love with that guy?

It's ten to three
With him on my mind
I should be asleep
But it's too late to try

Before him I had dangerous boys
Those I rarely think of today.
They used me like a toy
So glad I finally got away

When the feelings were found I thought
'If I follow my heart, my head thinks I'm dumb'
Then I thought,
'But if I follow my head, my heart will feel numb.'

It was a sticky situation
I didn't want to be hurt again
All apart of personal frustration
But I didn't want Greg just as a friend

I followed my heart
With caution from my head
Cupid hit me with the dart
At least I'm not dead

He's so full of love
All for me
He puts me above
For everyone to see

He is my dream guy
Smart, calm, kind
Opposite of sly
And all mine

As I can't stop thinking
Now it's ten after three
God I should be thanking
For leading Greg to me
3:12 AM

He's running on my mind like he's a track star. Dedicated to G. E.

I look at the clock,
and time seems to stop.
You're all I want,
we've both waited so long.
I look at this clock; 11:25
next thing I know I'm in bed
by your side.
I look at the clock,
and my head spins.
When I see your face,
I can't help but grin.
I miss you Logan.

A sleepy lullaby to warm the soul. The sound of rain, and thunder in the distance, with echoes of the nearby church bell. The resonance of your world in a music box. "Keep it handy", he tells me, "When you need the world's help, wind up that little wonder like a heartbeat, and you'll feel like you're in a dream."
A portion of a short I'm thinking of continuing. I'm terribly undecisive though.

looking at my arms and legs
they were never really
the length i'd hoped
they'd grow.

struggle
always seemed to come out
of this predicament

but
I had family.
A family of giants
who could all,
individually,
catch fish with ease
or pick the freshest fruit from the highest tree.

they never forgot,
though, about their dwarf
of a brother-
they protected me
like I was one of their own.

they loved me, and i loved them back.

most of the time, anyways
i can't blame them
for mistakenly
stepping on a dwarf's pride
self-worth
self-confidence
because a dwarf could never really
assert his presence as well.

where would i be without them, the giants?
where would i be without them?
without them?
i'm nothing.
just one of those 3am thoughts.

universe sends to me a sense of love. This love then conquers the negative energy which uncontrollably resides within me.
Pride takes a loss, and the ego sits quietly surrounded by its own walls unable to reach my soul.
A gift was given to me, and I invite You to share with me this feeling of compassion.
Grateful for the epiphanies leading me toward the stars.

Yesterday
extremely
overwhelmed
she held me
crying a lot
let go of me
she leaves
more crying
******.
To be honest, I don't even know at this point anymore. I guess this is just me venting in a new way. I'm tired. I just want to sleep.
