I was happy,
TV nightly,
As a family,
Simple pleasures,
‘Any Umbrellas?’
Family holidays,
I was happy,
Perhaps the world was happy,
Or happier at least.
This being does not steal your blood. No, it steals something that could be considered much more precious
At eight o’clock on every Thursday night,
I turn on my TV to watch Scandal,
If Olivia Pope is in a plight,
She puts her enemies under a spell.
Raised by ads on MTV
faces on CNN
words on screens
and people without depth
I am the product of pixels and vectors-
It's not fair that I like the songs you showed me,It's not fair that I can't watch reruns of a simple TV show because I remember how much you like it,It's not fair that i have to look at my
Laying in the bed
With my girl last night
Trying to get some booty
But she's putting up a fight
She said "Leave me alone,
and let me watch my show"
But you know I can't stop
Pops, you watch too much TV.
I feel convinced that I have now become a faceless memory,
That only photographs will bring short-term remembrances of me.
Pops,
After September 11, 2001
When there was yellow magnetic ribbons on cars?
And American flags flying in the USA?
Black and White TVs?
When gas was under $2.00?
A Revenge bounds across the open plains with speed and beauty looking for payback
Hooves pounding into the ground, jolting the surroundings with every step
Snap!
why cant i be enough, turned asied like a stray i cry why arent i enough. he stands over me tall with hes head held high no hesitation just pride.
The provider of easy entertainment
The originator of the moving picture in a home environment
You are what I look forward to, and wake up for everyday
You are the only thing I ever put on my calendar
we say ignorance is bliss
hatred, intolerance, and greed are the trifecta of our society
do you see it?
news anchors deliver breaking news: a pop star got married yesterday
If there ever was enough to give, I would give it to you. If there ever was enough ways to show I would show, I woud show you my truth. My love for you is so alive it would never die. you take my breath away, you make my heart skip a beat.
Motivation, it's what keeps us going,
How do we keep motivated in a world that's never slowing?
Our goals are too important to let go of that sight,
Our focus will help us reach a future so bright
Steel rafts of ocean hands
Pearl into icy depths
Piercing through its smooth skin
Breaking the shocks of energy
Through thick blue
Dear Starry-Eyed,
Five foot two doesn't determine the heights that you can go
Nor does your greatest adventure rely on the size of your shoe.
After everything i went through so far in the new year, 2014, I've decided to leave to Ecuador for the next month. After going through attempted suicide, hospitalization, the pysch ward, therapy, trying to find myself back into life, and such; i
There is no time for us,
watching the clock on the wall,
waiting for something to happen,
for excitement, encouragemet, and motivation,
but nothing happens,
just the sound of the clock ticking,
Why doesn't the heart and the mind work together? Even though the idea of such sounds so cleaver, it never happens that way.
We find ways to make it.
We are stronger than we think.
Most believe they will break
So they give up at the brink.
It is when you are near the end.
Do most quit,
As a child you’d like to believe you could trust the world to be
Everything you’d want it to be
Such innocence in seeing life in an easier point of view
Nothing sugar-coated
Just straight forward
What is time?
By definition its an indefinite continued progress of existance
But is there even such a thing?
We measure time with numbers,
But there are no numbers in the sky, on our bodies
People on the screen don't exisit anymore
All that's there are explosions and products to buy
And this makes me burn.
The screen has become a bible more
or else, it's what society bases it's joys and pains on.
You want to know why girls are such bitches?
because we were never taught to love ourselves.
We are constantly being told that we are too fat, or we should be good at sports, we wear too much makeup, or we don't wear enough
"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" that's what they all say.
Yet, we look in a mirror everyday looking for ways to be more beautiful.
In our society people judge you based on what they see trending on TV, the big screen,
Watching TV I feel the need to grieve
Is this what the media wants me to believe?
Is money and fame what I should seek to achieve?
Is blatant ignorance how fortune will come to me?
I felt the frost on my tongue, because I was growing young and the sun didn't shine from the words I spoke. I kissed a flower as I smelled a delicate perfume and walked in a cold garden among a cold world.
