In the year of the 250th anniversary of the American Dream, it is dedicated to her beautiful half! Now Luz is in-to goody-two shoes She’s gonna slip ’em on to wow the guys Then strut past the crowd in those shoes So the cool dudes turn and vibe her too, as mice! Magic feelings live in those shoes That goody-two vibe keeps poppin’ up, nice So Luz trusts that vibe, pulls on shoes Smilin’, she gears up to pass by the guys!

Goody-two shoes are Luz’s own boots She throws down with the strong out here someday Thieves catch a cold kick from that boots And they won’t want it to happen again Goody-two-shoes are a rough road too Often girls cut tight fate-loops loose So, Luz knows magic, takes that road then And she suits up with a little sadness and blues Ole-ole-oh-le-lay, ole-ole-oh-le-la Ole-ole-smart girl Luz, ole-oh-le-la!

I remember being plagued with knowledge, From too young an age. I loved asking questions, even when I got sickening answers. I wrote, like I do now. A constant in my life. I wrote this one story, about a boy. Looking back, it was disturbing for an eight year old, The world fell, and the boy watched his family, get torn apart by monsters, and all he wondered was where their souls were? I worried, about death, not the act of dying, so much as the, endless abyss that lacked any sensation, that I feared would ensue.

Ignorance Isn't Bliss, Knowledge Is Poison
Even when you know you won't win, you tell yourself, over and over, the hope grows in a crevice. You knew you wouldn't win, You told yourself, but you didn't believe yourself. That's why it still ached. The child inside you, still believes in dreams, and thinks she's a prodigy

We Were Meant To Be So Much More
I just saw an article called, “Being Smart Is Officially **** Again.” Reading’s now considered a happy, shiny experience, where once, it was considered a solitary, antisocial or even lesbian activity. Yes, after years of wellness-core and clean-girl aesthetics, smart-girls are finally considered one of the juicier meats. Haza! That’s all we’ve ever really wanted. “Peter, quick! Get a pic of me studying!” . . Songs for this Racecar by The 3 Clubmen Wait Another Moment by The Bingtones

Haza!
The clock is my nemesis Time & space revolve all about me Prevelance of the father of all lies A maddening crush for the inevitable The rhythmic pulse of the minute hand Counts down the moment to redemption Toss & turning in insomnia's clutches Shaking like a leaf; both hands reverberate in a chaotic frenzy Sobriety echoes in the springtime breeze Rounding 96 hours, wearily I collapse Whiskey sweat beads upon my forehead Detoxification by abstinence of this god A simple flavored death eviscerates me A pure obsession spurned me on by my greedy intervals...

SAVAGE
have you ever been to a museum? that little verbosity, gifted by the clueless curator, next to the exhibit, oft by each work of art, leaves you stupidfied by their unthrifty abuse and the indecipherable misuse of extra big unclear words that make adjectives want you to throw up, over, on, the common tongue this profoundly sound smooth jazz advice, should be the mantra of those who mask their inferiority with a mastery of a clogged comprehension what is before the viewers eyes, re and re/rereading the illiterate utter cut of the curator's *gib"~ berish

"complexity sounds smart, but simplicity gets remembered"^
Book smart with no common sense, Genius with physical labor absent. Can’t remember strenuous actions since, Well…I guess there hasn’t been much of it. They say brains and brawn are a good mix, But what if you just have one or the other? Pure brawn is overrated, But I wouldn’t mind having them both together. I can remember the lore of Star Wars, But I couldn’t tell you how to change a tire. Algebra two’s not that intense, However, driving just makes me stressed and tired. Isn’t it ironic that one can have straight A’s, Yet, feel so incompetent? Peers far surpass me, And overlap me, Still got to expand my toolkit, And the trial and error that comes with it. Book smart with no common sense, But I could give you your change along with all your cents. There’s a pressing question I need to overcome. In the real world, is book smarts enough? In the real world, will I function? In the real world…can I overcome?

Book Smarts
I’m the smart one, They always say. But I can’t spell February Without whispering it under my breath. It takes me five minutes. To spell a word And a whole day to spell out what I need. I don’t know how to do my taxes. But I know how to call the pharmacy. I know how to sit beside red, Old and stubborn, And blue, Young and breaking. I know how to translate pain Into prescriptions, How to smile when I want to scream Into a pillowcase. I’m only 21. I want to kiss someone because I like them, Not because I’m running out of time. I want to be drunk in a parking lot, Laughing about nothing. I want to have a boyfriend And forget to text him back. I want to dye my hair and regret it. But they need me. They say they’re fine— But it’s 102 degrees inside And I’m sticking to the floor. If I stop moving, I might melt. I might disappear. There’s only one of me. I was supposed to be the baby. Now I baby everyone else. I rock the house to sleep With grocery lists and gas bills. No lullabies, just stopping an argument No cartoons, just stopping a meltdown I want A life where I can be Irresponsible. Where I can be loud, Messy, wrong. Where I don’t have to be Strong To be loved. I want a life that doesn’t only begin After everyone else’s ends.

The smart one
You all tell me I'm born smart. How you can't take it to heart When I tell You to chill-- how I've done too well To say That 4 hours a day Is enough. How studying Hasn't been Rough or tough For me. How I should just let You all get More stressed without Trying to tell you about Just how hard I know You've worked And how much I've seen you grow. How a good friend Can't attempt to end Your panicking. How I'm not lacking In the areas you Do. How I won't understand Your parents' demands. I get it. I really do. Why else would I be trying To help you? Maybe if you took A step back from your books Then you'd see How it didn't all Fall In place for me. How I've put in The effort needed for a win. How although I haven't spent My nights studying, how time went By in class; Glass- Glazed eyes from only staring At the teachers as they walk past. Not caring About how much I carried The team, just so Everyone could go Ahead for an A. And how they Never seemed to know How long I spent in the glow Of my computer screen. I know you all don't mean It. But I've worked hard too. I do Understand you. You know, In this scenario, I don't think that I'm the friend That doesn't comprehend The stress that's sent you round the bend.

Nature
Sometimes, with a roll of the dice A child receives a blessing that comes with a price They can be born with the blessing of being smart Yet in society, they'll always be apart Who would've known that a bigger or stronger brain Can make people think you're entirely insane If you do one thing well in your prime Then you'll be stuck doing that till the end of time And if you ever try to quit Why would you? You're good at it There's so much pressure on you That there's nothing you can look forward to And if you get just one thing incorrect There's something in your brain that needs to be checked People will look up to you, but you're up there alone Sitting down on your worthless diamond throne And if you aren't better than only some You're immediately characterized as dumb Would you really want to feel so apart Just so you could be a bit more smart?

The Cost of a Genius
If I went back to my past, would this all really last? If I cherished all my days, would I still be chasing after grades? Threw away my life and fell apart Now all I have left is being smart Is this the life I'd really choose, if I knew, I couldn't lose? My whole life ruined from the beginning, but I can't stop that from me winning And I've carried myself on this path called life, while bleeding out from an 8-inch-knife So I will go where the wind refuses to blow And soon I will see that no one can stop me And I'm sorry if I made your life harder, but this whole time, I've just been your daughter And even just one mistake will cause this thin ice to surely break They'll glare at you when you're at your low They'll glare at you from heat to snow So you glare back at them like a shattered mirror So you glare at all the things you once held dear

Standing on the Thin Ice Above the Frozen Depths
Trust in the earth And the grass And the dirt And the trees Trust in lakes And the land And the air that you breath Trust your mind And the heart And the brain And the pain Trust in time And the space And the life And the flame Trust in success And in failure And in loss And in gain Trust in experience And what made you Who you are today Trust in trust And in truth And in good And in right Don’t ever mistrust That you’re wrong In your fight Trust your words And your thoughts And your prayers And your faith Trust in math And consequence And in science And in fate Be who you are And trust that you will Be who you are Until you are filled With love And with life And with joy Oh it’s great Be who you are Till you meet the wraith

I have to conquer more fear than a mobile home in an Oklahoma trailer park So yeah, you can say life's violently left it's mark But here's the worst part There's no back to the start I can't be rebuilt after being torn apart I'm already a patchwork monster, a piece of work but not art And as like Dr. Frankenstein, the creator is the monster and only half as smart ©2024

Nulla Differentia
sitting across from you in this quiet library while we do homework, i look at you and wonder- how did i get so lucky to be loved by you? 6 months ago you asked me out. 6 months of pure happiness and love, 6 months of never once questioning if you do love me, only knowing that you do. and now, we look forward to the rest of our lives, together. loving someone has never been easier, it's like second nature, as simple and innate as breathing. your fluffy brown curls, stunning hazel eyes, and adorable silver and navy glasses; unparalleled intelligence, kindness, goofiness, dorkiness, lovability- my golden retriever boy. you always take care of me, especially when my adhd and anxiety get bad, and i always take care of you, especially when you're tired and dehydrated. i love you

a poem for you, my love
seek the Well of Wisdom, fellow one wise Owl once told me and so I roam the world under the sunlight mellow to find the land where this magic might hidden be I drank from a thousand of different springs I sought the directions of wise old women and men I listened to every person, to every tale and every song I heard them sing and that's how I found where the Well hidden had been there is no magic, no shortcuts, no easy way you cannot cheat the Goddess of the Greeks Wisdom is hidden in books, in stories, in children's tales but you must be the one who wisdom seeks

Street Smart
By small and simple acts and ways Our futures come to pass And so we ought to choose today The ways that bless at last For time speeds by and races on And seeds we’ve planted grow Then let’s arise each waking dawn And act on what we know Small and simple will often lead To great and glorious things So set good habits with all speed And watch the wealth this brings Dream big indeed, and make a start Small steps will do just fine Leverage time - it’s just plain smart And works with laws divine Let “small and simple” work in you Develop heart and mind Then confidently follow through And live what you’ve designed

Small and Simple (Prosperity Poem 115)
To where do those memories go? My and your soft lips meeting. Exchanging values and ideas. But like a conversation gone bad, you had no place in it. Helpless. A genius walks a lonely path. Did our parents really ever "get" us? Or were they just unfit to even bear the name. Scoldings, put downs and assaults. And the result is a childhood of treachery and miscommunication. Misunderstood. A genius walks a thorny path. Where does a broken child learn they are special? Feelings of inferiority build architectural grand designs of mental illness and rotting relationships. And who really survives growing up? Except me. Childlike. A genius rejects adulthood to walk as a child. Why do the divine watch us? Is it to see us suffer? To overcome the pangs of suffering and torments? Is it truly a godlike quality to forgive? When will that be me being taken advantage of? I know when. Solid. A genius gathers no moss. Will death come? Am I to respect such a thing? Why would his hand touch so closely my throat, my brain and my heart. Are the dreams messages containing factual information? Guides on life? No, they teach us what we should be to death. Respectful. A genius bows his head to the dead. What is the emptiness and fullness meant to be? Will full people live on. Scraping by on whatever happiness chance chooses to make them aware of? Will empty people believe all belief and concept is empty? A form of solipsistic ignorance of both destiny and loved ones. To become full and empty. Reborn. A genius lives to burn, burn out and be brought back to life again. What is a genius? From the brain of a genius? Eyes that can see through fraud and deception. Including ones own.
