#defy
The check-in process and security check took a long time. But I could and did defy thirst only to find home in a bookstore here in LAX, in dusk’s falling veil.
I tried to find some coffee with a taste of a mix of feelings. I almost walked through every stretch of the airport and finally found an unassuming café. And found the ice latte more familiar than expected.
21: 40-22: 12 PDT; 12: 40-13: 12 BJS. I called you two. At the corner where the plane craft is in in sight, i held my Mac, tight and tender; three profile photos engraved by experiences touched me, again. We're so faraway. A distance of 15-hour time difference.
The WiFi was bad, while we're so connected.
We defied it all. And finally i realized that nothing is more crucial or invaluable than the tacit bridge we constructed——sincerity, resolution, flexibility, and accordance.
I wondered how my most important people are all here——no, there. And it hurts to think about you all gonna depart, leaving our dialogue in between. Would the sentience pick those debris up?

Sing a song to entertain,
as we sit around a little fire.
We are small, our fire smaller,
so we think we know,
we trust our science,
as taught,
were we, to test a known,
religiously, to prove,
all things.
At once, we think, if it were me,
alone, thinking we may, we might
disintegrate as fuel in fire,
becoming beings we are,
under your skin,
in your sense of wedom,
happening in ever for ever's own sake.

I use to say to myself that,
You and I were two parts of a single being.
Hoping to become one.
I was wrong.
Fate was wrong.
I couldn't defy nature for you.

The soul is something to nurture
To be touched with gentle hands
Will only blossom when cared for
By someone who understands
And your eyes feel like a dagger
Piercing through my skin
Puncturing vulnerable parts
Hidden deep within
Once full of serenity and strength
My body now lies hollow
An ocean of potential dried up
Empty pit where demons wallow
Drawing me in against my will
Like a fish caught on a line
Powerless to escape the hook
Captivity hard to define
Freedom drowned in a sea of regret
Pulled by the tide's direction
Swept up in the undertow
Waves crash and silence objection
Reasons remain a mystery
My heart caged without knowing why
Held hostage by past transgressions
Imprisoned by forces too great to defy

I,
Defy the paradigm,
The escapist void,
Lines of code I refuse to obey.
I defy,
Defy,
All emotionalogic.
I make no sense,
Or a dollar that pays my way to ignorant bliss.
'Tis the streets upon which I so selfishly make my way and,
My gears turn with no source or destination.
I am the,
Status quo of the chronically out of place.
So,
Take that next step,
Show me.

Transcribe my sine wave,
Rays like the sun.
Describe the unending normalcy.
waves crashing: one too many.
Laser-focused against the (g)rain.
Tsunami enraged.
Defiance is my resonant frequency,
sorry to disappoint.
I am the way.

There’s nothing to interpret in defiance.
Once you find a set, put place, position and stand.
Work up the vitality to speak in brutality!
There’s no point to declare without defense.
I want to **** in the wind, because **** you.
Replace my mind with a button.
Press it, I’ll regurgitate your rhetoric.
I bet you get off to that, stripping autonomy.
Just tickles your ***** Makes you giddy.
I’d starve myself.
But I would eat a bullet if you had your way.
Without a situation, your just without motivation.
Writing in clear ink,
paralyzed in double think.
There’s nothing to interpret in defiance.
A set, put place, stand, or position.
Dissent should never be conveyed,
unclear, blurry, or in repent!
Opinion shouldn’t be followed by different!
Just stand in on stage, speaking sense!
Those that matter will respect,
others will fall to the aspect...

Though the air tastes like the chance of defying,
we are about to unrun the siege against the coming havoc tonight
for we already embrace its touch and learned to accept the inevitable.
The light is still scratching at the windows begging us to let it in
at last,
but my soul was bonded: engraved into your shadow,
dreaming about the firmament of stars; an era of freedom
- long before we became the prisoners of our own sun.

I know what I am,
yet sometimes I find it difficult to understand.
I was walking the path of deceit
....hoping I would find someone who would hold my hand.
I never knew the feeling to be looked at like a person that really matters,
At the verge of my defiance,
I found someone whom I can count on and climb the highest ladder.
You gave me strength,
You gave me hope,
You made me feel special,
I felt like we were bound to be together,
Although to the world I was the Devil!
Loving is hard as people always say,
Yes it was but not as hard to see you walk away.
And then again,
I was all alone but with a different pain
The pain I couldn't bear,
In the path of deceit again,
With the pain you left me with as your share.
Maybe it was me, the reason for us to end,
But wherever you are I hope for the best,
Because now I know who I really am and I never should have let you hold my hand.

Deeper than the captivating shape it has,
Lies a greater purpose it stands for.
So vast and strong,
It rotates laterally
and extends at your will.
It stands strong, defying gravity
cushioning you for your comfort
and holding your pelvis still.
So appreciate it for more than it's curves;
stand tall and thank your behind
when you bend.
For it is greater than
it seems.

Strawberry fields forever,
But those old fruit just rot,
In a world so so **** messed-up like man you gotta give it all you got,
The pressures on,
Make sure you don't have tired feet in a giant race we call humans so don't front,
We all get irritated and angry and put on fronts,
So why give your time to someone that's gonna take the clock and Bangs the batteries out of it and make you lose track,
Now head back to the race of life,
Only you decide,
If you wanna die in vain or be liberated,
If your the type,
Or fight your urges and change your life,
It's not hard, you just got to get your views just right,
I'm sorry but where the **** were you when I got in fights?
Where were you when I got kicked out of my mother house and I had no lights?
Where were you when I was being isolated and all the kids hated and broke my concentration and anxiety had a hold on me bad and,
Everything in this world just make me sad man,
They throwing all of my pride up in the trash can,
But this all just to be a man,
And looking to the most high, now I understand.
put all insecurities aside for the heir.
this world ain't just what it seems,
We all have to care,
The racists,the fakes,the satanists,
we'll leave you all there,
We will all risk our lives everyday,
The rapture will be here,
We all need to hold hands in this cold society,
not one person in the world can take on an army,
better not let your guard down not even for a second,
not even for a minute...
Concentrate,
Accelerate,
Don't situate your bodies body.
Your soul.
You better meditate,
And educate,
Just liberate your bodies body.
Behold.
Concentrate,
Accelerate,
Don't situate your bodies body.
Your soul.
You better meditate,
And educate,
Just liberate your bodies body.

raised to believe stagnation is a death
to stay still even in safety is a slope
never to be content with good enough
even when good enough is your best
never to take a rest
because to rest is a slope
that they say I am always falling down
there is always something to reach
“but dont you dare reach for what you love”
this is a loveless cruel thing
to never rest is to reach the end
before you’ve done anything at all
rest is not a stand still
but a chance to grow in a different way
and to reach for something you dont love
is a mocking insult to your heart and soul
that I will take no part of

If I were to die today,
I know what people will say
"She was this," and "She was that,"
But, I hope they're as cold as ice
because I was nothing but nice
to those who i felt derserved
to be in my mind forever preserved
but to get that high is quite hard
for the doors and windows are barred
and i'm curious to see as to who
you will see crying in a church pew
those that shed tears you'll know are lying
and the ones who are real will sit there defying
what they know there supposed to do
simply because i asked them to
-the not so dead girl

The few who rely
On this use it not to fly
But in order to defy
For they are the abused
And the misused
Sometimes the unproved
Because they think they are in the right
They will continue to fight
For so many nights
And they come together
To stand amidst the frightful weather
In their sufferable adventure

i defy myself
every time i define myself
just to prove myself wrong
oh, whoops i proved myself right
i dont know what im looking for
but i know it when i see it
then i forget to be it
oh, whoops i forgot all of it
i think i know more than i think i do
never know what to do with myself
im in several places all at once
oh, whoops i never moved at all

You are obsolete on death,
You flicker on a minute.
Those eyes will glitter among the earth,
So cry yourself to sleep.
Your vocals are hoarse,
You strung them so swift.
Those will be the remnants of the earth,
So cut out the periphrases.
You are redundant ,
You are circumvented with flesh.
You have a figure,
An outline, for which you will pass.
You will leave a whisper of your craft,
A murmur of your sleep.
Those eyes will glitter among the earth,
So silent a word to keep.
You do not defy!
You have no time to hiss!
You are a minute on earth,
You abjure your own gravity,
only then you stand still.

Spread my wings, take to the skies
No Phoenix ever really dies
It literally death-defies

Failure is not only a concern, but also a part of life
Ignore it,
deny the same,
defy it, however, facts never change.
Like the odds when they come along the way,
which need to be tackled,
they prove to be of use, of great benefit in enriching prior experience,
similarly,
in the same way,
failure is the first step towards success.
Never get disappointed, don’t give up,
since prevention has always remained better than cure
One wrong step never meant it's end of the world
One wrong step never meant to be a full stop
One wrong step, however, definitely means not to repeat the same mistake again.
Definitely failure is not only a concern, but also a part of life,
best when agreed upon and accepted,
so as to make sure that the same thing never happens again, all over again.

Its good to see your tears are done,
Little kitten,
It hurts me when i see them run.
Ima little smitten,
By the way
Your eyes play
Throughout the day, All sleep, no pay.
Keep hidding behind my toes
(Trust me they'll keep you safe)
Keep bristling against my nose
Whiskers and bells and whistles.
Watching your heart fall like a mistle.
Wishing i put up with the gristle..
I hope you fly
And i hope you dont find out untill you try.
To be taken by surprise and see the world from the sky.
To look down from the clouds and see the sparkles in my eye

I will prevail
The system that's failed
Beyond expectations
What often is hailed
The be of success
But never the best
"Just lie on your back"
"Like all of the rest"
"The door is right there"
"We'll keep you impaired"
No, you must break free
A world that's unfair
So stick to your Guns
And prove you're the one
To defy the standard
Of "One versus None"

I must not weep
I must not break
I must not cry
a must to fake
I must not scream
I must not bleed
they must not see
this part of me
should I
no I shouldn't
should I
oh how redundant
stand up straight
keep a smile
it has for months
become your style
I must not lose
I must not give in
I must not chase
I must not sin
I must not sigh
I must not waver
I must not hope
I must not miss her.

I run on this lake beach,
Crunching over old bones and
My memories.
What I wanted to do,
What I wanted to feel.
I see the flat rocks,
The ones I wanted to skip so badly,
I just didn't know how.
I never could.
I thought you could teach me then
Smile remembering you--
Then stop.
The words you said were too much.
I want to collapse next to
The pile of rocks
And cry.
But I continue onward
Hoping.
Wondering when I will meet the boy
Who can teach me the secret of
Defying gravity.
