#peer
Earlier today, I had a small-group evaluation
that I’ve been quietly dreading
and frankly, I wasn’t sure I was ready.
See, I’ve neglected things of late
I had the flu and couldn’t concentrate.
But once that was over, I could focus,
and I did some uneducated guessing,
about what the physiology skill-drill might be.
My group peer-assessed me, and those guys can be savage,
and a fail on the quiz could block my module passage.
I showed what I’d prepared, 2-hours focussed on things like prioritizing diagnoses.
Their questions were pointed but they didn’t reveal their prognoses.
How’d I do? I haven’t a clue.
I was quivering with exhaustion when I was through.
The professeur seemed pleased, and I got a few nods and smiles,
in my clinical-presentation debut.

One problem in traditional finance
Is that intermediaries are needed to
Facilitate transactions in the system.
These intermediaries charge fees, act
As points of control or censorship, and
Often allow chargebacks (non-finality)
Therefore
What we need is a truly peer to peer
Electronic cash system which allows
Payments to be sent from one party
To another without an intermediary.
Such a system built for the internet
Exists here and now. It is Bitcoin.

Oi! What you doin’ sat over there,
cold shoulderin’, ignorin’ your mates?
Oi! Cephas! I’m talkin’ to you.
Who you impressin’ with your pious handshakes?
Why you pretendin’? Are you forgettin?
You trying to ignore just who you are?
You sat down with Him, saw who ate with Him
You saw up close what He stood for.
You know He didn't care who’s been snipped.
You’re not closer to Him sittin’ there.
We all are equally, fully forgiven.
So ain’t it about time you just grew a pair.
Tell the truth to your chums -
Pull up a chair.

When people trash talk Bitcoin
Ask them some simple questions
See if they’ve done their homework
Below are a few suggestions
Who started Bitcoin years ago?
And what inspired this founder?
And how does fiat money work?
And why Bitcoin might be sounder?
When was Bitcoin started?
What’s relevant about that year?
And from the short whitepaper
What is meant by peer to peer?
Name two countries where it’s used
To protect from high inflation
And two more where Bitcoin helps
The people in oppressed nations
Maybe they know, maybe they don’t
Yet you’ll see how much they know
And maybe asking these questions
Will cause their knowledge to grow
An opinion based in ignorance
It’s worth? Not very great
And maybe they will do the work
To improve their financial fate

In the currency of their love'
Could the world pay off;
Gamblers playing their luck?
Darling' we think we're,
Falling for each other:
But only in the effect of'
Falling dominoes.
Roses on your head'
Piercing thorns, sharp thoughts
As I do suppose;
You're open in light' of eyes,
Exposed to the Sun's dust:
Your hard heart; afraid to be'
In water, and turned to rust.
Why do we as kids'
Waste all the time of youth
Before we knew our fears;
And were pressured by peers?
Pressured to pursue this love.
As I only loved you'
Because I was told:
Said so, because it felt a role,
Playing each other in an act
Seen by eyes of those who couldn't;
Find anything close to love:
So they opted to find love in us.
All those fools;
Kids forgetting lessons'
Lessening their time in class.
I know now; _I was never in love._

Our stories shared
Healings unfold
Connections being made
Our truths being told
We are not alone
There's someone out there
Like you
Like-minded
Someone who cares
Someone who feels you
and shares what you're going through
Someone who hears you
when all you need is to be listened to
Someone that lifts you
when you're down so deep that no-one sees you
Someone to be that friend to you
when there is no-one around to be there for you
We can find that someone
that someone like you
to connect with,
to grow with
and to never feel alone with.
--Someone like you

The way they describe you,
In the complex analogy,
Speak of you as an object,
Sitting here I remind quiet,
A part of the problem,
Rather than embracing your personality,
They embrace your figure,
Rather than embracing your kindness,
They embrace your figure,
Rather than embracing your strength,
They embrace your figure,
I continue to drink,
Staying to myself,
I acknowledge the problem,
That makes me no better than them.

The sins of the father and the son must be punished
Allow the juries hand to be corrupt and
Dispense their magical omnipotence.
But taste the finality of man as the hammer draws near
To consequence; and question
The strangers leer in corrupt composure.
The judges sweat melds to the handle, he grips
Hard to the justice of his resolve, as
It slips beneath the bench
And now to the audience, you decide
To solidify a man in a statue to justice or
Grant redemption and torments respite.
Because I put to you that,
the sins of the father and the son must be punished.

Why do I always sit alone?
Why am I afraid?
I just can't ever condone
The stupid things people say.
Is this problem theirs?
Or is it purely mine,
I guess nobody cares,
For me nobody pines.
Why don't I loosen up?
Why don't I just have a drink?
Because my head is way too full,
I can't even hear myself think.
I know I don't need to keep this up,
I could just please the crowd,
But so far I've still got some luck
I don't want to run out.
Some day, someone will get me,
They'll understand my ways,
Then together we can party
For the rest of our perfect days.

I was taught not to follow the multitude to do evil
but some friends can be deceitful
I have always wanted to be welcomed by my peers
and thought As someone cool
so I joined them
even though what they did was wrong
My choice cost me my freedom
and I fear It is too late

Sixth grade, middle school
that's when it begins
the competition, the bullying
trying to fit in
Trying to fit in,
but standing out all the same
trying to belong,
but left out of everything
Their words begin to sink in
like seeds, they breed self consciousness
she longs for the 'me'
she used to be,
the one that could leave the house with no makeup
But she's let their words define her
they bind her, hold her, keep her
blind, unable to see
the beauty on the inside
on the outside, under the makeup
She keeps it bottled up inside
Afraid to tell anyone,
She thinks she's the reason why
But the reason she feels so dark inside
Is because someone else felt the same
And took it out on her,
She knows now she's not to blame
Bullying.

Let us take a gamble
You'll have nothing to lose
Only fun, only fun
I will swear to you.
Come and observe this fire!
It's not dangerous, you'll see
Run your hands, all over
The flames won't hurt thee.
Glide your hands over this knife
Feel the adrenaline course!
Your running blood of crimson
Your death you won't have to force.

no such thing as abstinence
just one sip and then that's it
drink from the bottle
sell your soul
and smile
just have a taste

I am what you might call an abnormal specie
Although I possess most characteristics of homosapiens I feel homo...different
People say I'm an epitome of art which I find amusing
I feel more like a homeless spirit tossed around by the wind without purpose.
I hardly do things my friends do, sometimes I try hard to blend
My friends tell their love stories and emotions
I go to my story *** and cook creative stories of me spiced with scenes from Indian movies
I have a barricade of fear, anxiety and distrust around my stomach so you can't find butterflies there
Don't get me wrong, I haven't had any heart breaks... Maybe once or twice... I don't remember because I'm not bothered
I gave up on love long time ago... Maybe I didn't... Maybe it just... Left.
So here I am on a serious relationship with depression and solitude
My friends tell tales of their *** experience with girlfriends, party strangers but I'm too shy to tell them of my daily ********* with my lovers.
I flirt sometimes and it seems like a natural gift, I could say sweet words that will make Shakespeare's grave tremble but I never have the strength to go further; to lie on their naked body because I fear I might break their hearts if I go too deep. She might think I'm in love but get disappointed the next morning then sing aloud the daily female hymn "Men are ****
I'm considered the devil's agent because I'm one of the few species who dare to ask "why" whenever it comes to religious matters.
I am a stranger to myself, I say and do things I never thought I could. I'm a coward, luckily my alter ego is fierce, he's the gifted one; the poet and smooth talker, I just take the credits.
I'm scared of marriage, will I marry because I love her or because my mother desperately needs grandchildren so she can sing lullabies to their tiny ears? Will I love my wife? How will I when love seems like a foreign, ancient and forgotten language?
I am the only one of my kind.
I am... I really don't know who I am.

Anger
Hostility
Mobility of tranquility
It runs away, runs away into the day
Of which I can only remember and not revisit
Everything is too unreal
Why not just die?
But why not live?
Sit and ponder about everything
And forget to resolve "everything"
That's how it always goes
Burning guilt
Pushes me to the hilt
It commands me to serve
Suffer to serve, serve and suffer
Gods and governments dance
Cocktails
Moonshine
Parties
None of mine
While I crack my bones
To proper placement
Just to feel some sort of
Distraction from replacement
Nonetheless
Happiness
In its truest form
It's worth it in the end
When you know
Their anger will not show

I live in a world of aimless dreamers
They tell me to become one of them
Their pointless dreams are the key to their "happiness"
An oasis for their aching souls
I dream aimlessly to evade my fears
I dream aimlessly to escape the tears
I dream aimlessly to hold onto peace
I dream aimlessly but I reach no reach
I dream aimlessly, I suppose to live
I dream aimlessly when I close my eyes
I dream aimlessly for a positive
I dream aimlessly, although I die
I dream aimlessly
Although I know
That aimless dreamers in the end..
Have nothing to show
And this lesson is to be learned
An aimless dreamer neither gains anything, nor earns.

Am I wrong for giving up on relationships completely and focusing on degrees?
To say I'll turn a blind a eye to a cute girl I see is a lie but my interest in exclusive affiliation I chose to rapidly decrease
My mentality is one and done
And if all you can offer me in our relationship is *** twerking drugs and alcohol I'm sorry but you aren't the one
Start with a foundation
Build with bricks not straws
You have issues and I got them too, so give all of yours to me and I'll tell you all my flaws
We get into argument and go on a break but you must be out of your **** mind if we're on break
I'm gonna give you space and put our conversations on hold but me stalking your social media isn't on pause
There's dudes out in this world that think of a break as a open invitation to slide in the DM
So you can tell those dudes and your past dudes your time is open but your heart is closed and they need to find another girl to DM
I heard the news my mother's surgery was a success
But it was hard to see her because King Gemini couldn't see his Queen Leo in a hospital bed when she wasn't looking her best
But I had my softball MVP to bring tears and my pain to a less
There's a Dominican blue Dominican sky out there who still has a special place in my heart no matter if our conversation history has drastically been less
This past summer has been a roller coaster that's made me nauseous
And I couldn’t wait until we reached the end of August
I was close to having an emotional breakdown but I held it together by the hairs of my chin chin chin
But those hairs are losing its grip and the chances of me holding it all together is thin thin thin
I put misery and company together but still I'm able to forget my problems and make sure my friends don't find the urge to sin sin sin
And I have no clue if I'm high right now
Or if this is Gods doing right now
But you can look in my eyes and see that the young little black boy who was scared of the real world doesn't exist right now
And nothing the man who was sadly given presidential credentials does to me comes as a surprise right now
I'm gonna pretend I just turned 21 a few years early and smoke hookah and drink and live my life right now

I really want to say
I hope you're okay.
I see something on your face, a familiar grimace.
I want to tell you, I suffer from mental illness.
And all too well, I can recognize your pain;
I too, have struggled under the overpowering strain;
The suffering caused by a malfunctioning brain.
I see how you've started to avoid and withdraw.
I see enormous stress in the tightness of your jaw.
I see you grasping, desperate for some alleviation,
from this curse of complete anguish and frustration.
I see you like this not because I wish to pry.
In you, I see myself. Allow me to clarify.
I have been where you are, totally lost and alone.
Hiding from friends and family, ignoring my phone.
There were many times I felt held together only by thread.
Eventually I decided that my only option was to be dead.
But there were no lights at the end of any tunnels.
The attempt failed, and I continued my struggles.
Then someone reached out a hand for me,
offering somewhere safe for me to be.
Longing for relief, feeling defeated, I said yes.
And looking at me now, you would never guess,
the darkness that dwelled deep in my head.
Today I'm better, and quite glad I'm not dead.
So, I'm here, should you ever want to talk.
Please, feel free, tell me to go take a walk.
But I swear, my intentions are honest and kind.
I want to help you take back control of your mind.
This is just a hand held out, from me to you.
I urge you to take it, and I'll help you through.
Peer to peer, I'm offering you solace.
If ever you need me, I'll be there, I promise.

You called me old school
Just because I believe in purity
You called me old school
Just because I wasn't influence by social media to overcome my inferiority
You called me old school
Just because I don't swear or cuss
You called me old school
Just because in the midst of a chaos I remain Hush
You called me old school
Just because I believe in a deep sacrificial love.
