Balance
I go to the city to gain the knowledge and grab the tools.
I deepen my practice and learn the rules.
In the city is where the people are.
Where the jobs are,
Here we are
You across from me
You’re back is all that I see
And she’s holding the trophy
The mistakes I have made are my own
There were those who lit candles
a fine method, if the room you’re illuminating
has something inside worth seeing.
The families in line pictured great dinners
I think I realized I wasn’t a kid anymore when
Everything changed. I don’t really remember…
Did I wake up one morning and it was all different
At least once in your lifetime
you have or had a duty
Because someone else depended on the deed
Black or white
Red or Blue
Left or right
Right or wrong
Good or evil
Truth or Lie
It was the Thanksgiving of last year
I was with family and peers.
When my uncle came up to me and asked,
"Have you decided on your college yet?"
You sap my life of joy, Rival,
With those words of doubt.
I love and you can't, Rival
And drive affections out.
I prefer blood over tears,
water to wind
fire to earth
I prefer hate over love,
anger over saddness,
song over speech
I prefer old to new,
but it doesn't matter anyway,
Feeding on the images in my own contemplation, mental orgasms leading to sinfully sensual stimulation. As your body calls, my body urges, caught up in temptation, as the storm surges, so ready to release and splurge.
Do you hear the music,
That once did beat from within
The constant thump of the unsettled.
I’m living life in a river bed --
The path was drawn before I was born.
The world is so loud and full of life,
But silence cannot be hidden here.
I’m living life in a river bed --
Poetry is a form of self-expression
It helps release aggression
It’s a way of telling a story
It follows us, mockingly
Ever remembering
Persistent, a most ruinous companion
It’s funny, isn’t it?
Our past
And this little game we play
Who gets to decide?
Is it you or is it I?
Who gets to decide what is right?
Who can say what is?
Humans are not made without flaws
They are filled with love, faith, and hope
They come with feelings, determination, and selflessness
Humans are not made without flaws
Two paths diverged in a yellow wood.
The right choice would've been to choose the one less followed.
But now I can't see any paths.
The trees have been removed.
A great expanse lies before me.
Slipped down your throat
until you lose the feeling in your toes
and the tingle can be felt at the back of your head
The last Valentines Day was the worst
until you met him
and now the worst comes this year
Life is always watching
Creeping in the distance, waiting for your next move
She gives you roads to choose from
Then tricks you when you least expect it
Today is big
But then again
Our love is big
My dear do you feel it?
Did you have trouble sleeping
Last night like I did?
Did you feel it this morning
When you woke up?
How big today is-
Dear World,
I made a choice, I chose a chance
A chance for freedom
freedom for all
For immigrants, for natives
For love, no hatred.
Hatred is a weapon
A weapon I will not use.
The girl who makes the stars explode
And the boy with a mountain for a soul
Oh to be the girl
Loved by both
Oh to be the girl
If you know what is right
And make sense of the wrong,
If you can stand back up after destruction
But not make someone fall to their death.
If you can pave a road
And allow others to travel it,
My environment makes me
It shapes who I am
My environment makes me
It shaped who I am
My environment makes me
It makes it hard to trust friends
Saw the other side was green
Anger is a virus that takes hold of every fiber in your body
It corrupts the interface of your brain and every thought
Anger is so intense and sometimes becomes one’s identity
Man made of fire,
Passion to fight.
Arrow through his heart,
Yet he refuses to die.
As stubborn as the light in his eyes
Your choices are what make you
If that's the case, I'm made of poor decisions and frequent fears
I'm a half-hearted concotion of anxious sweat and tears
I tear, gnash at the things that pull me back
Agitation sets in.
Rays of sunshine assault the roost.
Orange beams awaken the cock.
Obnoxious is my neighboring early bird.
We are individuals who walk on the face of this earth
Making choices since the day of our birth
Feeling alone trying to make friends
Posting on social media and trying to start trends
Your life is only defined by a few moments
The moments where you choose
Left or right
Your choices decide how your life plays out
Never thought I would be here
on a tightrope
one side is new love
the other old
If I fall in the old
I have a chance to make it new again
we are both damaged, perhaps it's time to revive us
theres a beautiful silence hereas eyes droop and ears mufflesomething courses throughyour body, unexpectedbut gorgeous, warmed from the inside outclosing old wounds knitting together broken hearts
Let the rain, let the shine, let the day be mine.
With the showers, or the sun's powers, the day is here.
A puddle here, a puddle there, splashing through the clear.
A flower blooms, a leaf falls, let the day be mine.
REGRET is poison.
SAFETY is the spoon we drink it from.
We ask,
How do you live a full life?
A life without regret?
Pressure gets at everyone
So much to get going
Wheels turn fast in the mind
More and more getting crammed in
Spinning faster and faster
Until you break
And you fall
Speaking out is scary
What will you do
Who will you be
Yesterday is gone
Tomorrow seems like an eternity
But so
How do I make my choice
Which way do I go
The easy way out
Rather than to stay and suffer
Greener was the ground before we walked
Purer was the air before we breathed
Cleaner was the the water before we swam
The future is many pathways, it eludes us
Our past is the memories of the people, it haunts us
Nothing stands out
Numbness takes over
Robotic movements
Apathy bleeds in
And emotions
Fade away
Muted and dim
Somewhere
In the background
While a being
With no face
I struggle constantly, just like everybody else. Eyeing myself in the mirror, I look plump in all of the places I shouldn't. I want to work out, but I've got other things on my list that I'd rather do.
I'm trapped here, I don't why,
Is it for all my sins, I don't why,
Did I kill someone? Was I arrested as a spy?
I'm stuck on island, here forever,
Should I give up? I say never!
Your Heart affects your Thoughts.
Your Thoughts lead to Choices.
They become Actions.
Actions lead to Consequences.
Consequences Determine Your Destiny.
Past or Future?
Optimism or Pessimism?
Trust or Skepticism?
Right or Wrong?
Why limit ourselves to a mere two choices?
Why ruin ourselves with the simple?
"Happy?"
"Sad?"
"Okay?"
To think of what I want to save
When moving very far away
Perhaps inside a lovely cave
But I would really rather stay
I can taste the lust in your kisses
It forces your tongue just a little closer to mine than it ought to.
I fear your touch but I shiver and press toward it.
Am I a slut?
I think this is what adultery must feel like.
The wind rushed quietly as I made my way down the backroads of my small town
Picking up speed, cruising as if there was all the time in the world
The sky was a lilac blanket, quiet and still
THIS IS ME.
ALL I NEED.
I NEED THIS DREAM, ON LIFE
LIKE CUT THAT BLEEDS.
ALL I NEED IS THE OPPURTUNITY FOR ME.
PASSION IS MY FASHION,
THINGS YOU CAN IMAGINE,
I NEED.
Something that I can't live without is the idea that my child knows I love her, and that I'm sorry.
I was 23, too young to be
Your mother
Living a life
Wild and free
Reckless, like any other
Slowly, we dance our waltz,
One two three, one two three, on and on,
But I’m on two when you’re on one,
And I know how this dance ends,
Slowly, the music builds,
When you grow up you realize the heart comes with a burdenYou will see it now how blind it was back thenThe responsibility to have your heart can only be taken on by one
You can't take the good without the badYou can't be happy without experiencing sadConstantly fighting a battle with good and evilAlways running back and forth, two sides never equal
I woke up, headaching
my mind was baking.
Wondering did I come here on my own bearfeet.
Trying to connect the dots, who did I meet.
By the time it took me to screw my head on right
I will always choose
the simple life.
The path that winds around
the fragrant lilac bushes,
that meanders across
the hillside,
and flows down
through the river valley.
There are many things in life one cannot choose.
Parents, family, or even who they lose.
But how you feel when you wake up and how you live your life
Can be simpler than choosing to be man and wife.
When the stick in your hand reads "postitive" there is an expectation from the world around you
Except instead of instantly feeling maternal joy, you feel the pang of a loss.
These people be looking at me like I'm crazy
Like the shit I been doing ain't the right shit maybe
Maybe I'm loosing my mind
I haven't been feeling right lately
Like all these demons inside been tryna step out on me
Where does your alliance lie?Will you pledge alliegance or will you defy as I?The rebellion, hellion, deviant manical child,not willing to be spied on riding a spider wild,
It's funny how when it came down to it
Everything you did made you seem like a hero
Like you could change the world with your words
Like you could fix a cold with your hugs
Pounding, bam, bam, bam.
Slapping, bam, bam, bam.
Hundreds of feet hit the cold ground
a stampede of people all around
Going, going, going onwards.
And why not?
Singing Bells
Heaven or Hell
To live or die
To sin or to lie
To forgive or to be forgiven
How are some people afraid of liven
A heart beats
The new air it greets
My heart pumps
In life we have many choices to make,
Some simple, some more complicated.
I have a choice as to how I live my life,
do I live it free or do I live it controlled?
Do I let my fears and problems rule my life,
or do I determine where I go from here?
If life easy was not hard
then attempting is not available
If half of me is going insane
And point five has a vision blurred
You must be crazy two
Thoughts of suicide are not scary
The fight for intellect is strong and stern.
This race by fire will remove those unworthy, and burn
Away the bits of them that give them what they need;
Am I a Republican or a Democrat
a liberal or a conservative
am I for gay rights or against gay rights
The handbag is Fendi. And the jeans? From Guess. These pumps are Yves Saint Laurent. What you’re smelling is Dior. And it didn’t come cheap. I saw you looking so I thought you should know.
My depression seeps down deep within,eating my happiness, leaving me weak and thin.A monster of despair curls up deep inside,biting, clawing, scratching at my mind.
Whoa buddy
Slow down
Take the Turtle Road.
But no,
I have so many places to go.
Let me hop on the freeway
Breeze on through
Ignore the distractions
Keep your eyes on the road.
Stop pressuring me
Stop telling me I better hurry
Stop forcing me into a corner
Stop making me choose
Stop making me prepare
Stop making me grow up
Get lost in the music
It's the only place you can escape society
The only place you can escape society's double standards
To be yourself, and to coform
I can't be myself if I conform
We all have choices in life
At our own free will we make our decisions
In order to better ourselves and our lives
I have choices
But I do not make the decisions
There she was, under the bridge,
beckoning me home again.
Her hair like sunlight,
amidst the darkness of the trees.
Her milk white skin glistening in the mist.
Her eyes were piercing, the temptation was strong.
You have to choose.
I can't.
You have to.
But I can't.
Because there are so many choices.
So many paths I could take.
My future depends on
How alluring I am
As a combination
Of a few words and numbers
Stars are shining
In the great black sky
Where the universes fate still lies
Our future is uncertain
We can’t predict the beginning or
Money
There's so much of it in the world
but why don't I have any of it?
Why does my family struggle so much
when others have money coming out of their ears?
I'm stuck trying to figure out
Choices . Thats what life's about . Choices , honestly they make you wanna shout . But after all, when you're down and out choices will be there to help you out.
I just can't find the right one.
What am I doing wrong?
They say go with the money.
I say I want to go where ever my heart desires.
But I have had a personal struggle with having too little.
Your like a ripple in the water-
Jou just brush agents my feet before fading away
Your scared to welcome it in lurk you use to-
You were hurt to much in to short a time
You've gone mad in grief
Life is like winning a lottery ticket
There's excitement, joy, thanks
You're so pleased with yourself
That you accomplish something new.
But then you hit a stop sign
I feel them
The threads that bind me
Like a marionette
A fancy puppet
Shiny hair
Porcelain skin
Glassy eyes
Shakey limbs
The strings
They pull me
Walk a mile in my shoes
Then you’ll know what it’s like to choose
Between making a life of your own and leaving the nest
okay.
I AM ALIVE I AM REAL I HAVE COLORS AND SHARP EDGES AND THOUGHTS TRAPPED INSIDE MY HEAD.
I AM NOT DEAD,
not dead yet.
you think you can
systematically
destroy
Daisies are a friendly flower,
Kathleen Kelly had it right
They bring a cheer to any room
They bring a certain light
I wish I had some daisies here
As I sit in the near-dark
A mind can do so much,
Think , do, and feel every touch.
We know how much good it can do,
But oh how much bad it can put us through.
Leads our hearts astray in sin,
Tells us we need things that we don't,
I remember your green eyes,
and the way I stood on my tipytoes to kiss you,
One hand on the small of my back, the other cupping my cheek.
That was in your kitchen.
Coming to this earth, wasnt my choice
Me losing my mom, wasnt my choice
i came in to the world with out a voice
everything in my life has been set
yet im still here thinking whats next
Which road to take?
They both lead in different directions
Left? or Right?
They twist and turn along the barren ground
Which would be better?
Pebbles and stones decorate the sandy paths
Up? or Down?
At this time I'm crawling in deeper
Never wished I'd left but instead
Always wanted this very same thing
Maybe I'll pass by my dreams
Funny the way they play in my head
When someone asks me what I want to change, about a million things run through my mind. Some are small, like changing my grades or being a better daughter to keep my family happy.
I choose to be happy.
I'm not gonna sit around in a slum waiting on something or someone,
I will be vigilant and ready for when my time comes.
I chose to be happy
I didn't cry and smash my fist,
Since being a young boy in the hood
My life has never been good
Gunshots at night and standing under streetlights
I told my self I shall rise
If I put in hard work there should be a prize
Since being a young boy in the hood
My life has never been good
Gunshots at night and standing under streets lights
I told my self I shall rise
If i put in hard work there should be a prize
His eyes stole her heart, his laugh stole her mind.
He offered her this look that promised her the world, the stars and even the moon on a silver platter.
As I turn back and say goodbye,
I can't help but wonder:
Is this for the best?
Nevermind if I feel regret in leaving
Because if it were right then I would stay.
If,
I had only awakened only to see the one
I have been so desperately and passionately
Been waiting to embrace,
To let known as it has always seen
Not as it has always been perceived
I don't know when,
But I caught a glance then.
You may say it was love at first sight,
But I knew it was something of a greater might.
We became friends,
And I hoped it will never end.
By Taber Nelson
Overcast skies cast sheets atop the mountains
While the thin flakes of snow
Gently tickle the earth
I loved you both,
can't you see?
Loved too much
You both loved me.
Differet as gold
and sillver to me.
alike an apart
like coffe and tea.
Imperfecty perfect
I think of endless days and short nights
I think of powerful blades and deep slashes
I think of everything and nothing but all that comes out is air and I don't know how or why but I thought of you
If you knew me now, you’d know I’ve changed
If you knew me now, you’d see me differently
I’m not the same person I used to be
You'd think school is for the education, the diploma, the endless possibilities of ways to go for the future. So many ways I could leave here and go to college, go to work, make some sort of money.
Sierra lived in a nice house
Nice family,
nice clothes,
All the things most kids want.
Sierra chose to go down the wrong road
Drugs,
Explore my mind, Explore my mind
What am I to be? Who am I t find?
What will life bring to me? Why do I feel blind?
Blinded by my destiny, my true destiny I wonder
A Poet, an actress, a dancer
If music is a choice, why can't gym be a choice?
If art is a choice, why can't gym be a choice?
What if some of us are not physically inclined?
Just like some of us are not artistic?
I know what this is.
This is the hammer you wield
Pounding against my head.
Though you are no Thor,
But rather a monster
You don't know what I have been through,
What I have lived,
My past,
Why are you trying to judge my future?
I am not going to turn out like the generations before me,
We have so many choices in this world, and we’re expected to pick just one.
We have so many choices in this world, and we’re never able to get the best of both worlds.
Should I eat a banana or apple for lunch?
Some plié their paved roads with desire
Leaping and thrusting, they attack their audience with their soulful might
Some smear their paths with the colors of their heart
Bleeding, they pump the world with their expression
I thought that I was normalThe average teenagerWho stressed about the futureThat loomed on my horizonAnd watched Pixar moviesAnd had nerf gun warsBecause adulthood was waitingTo snatch my childhood up
I am driving without gas and without a destination.
On a track without interpretation.
Seemingly moving forward striped of imagination.
I look ahead and see nothing to my devastation.
Today we're going to learn about life
We're not learning the y and x axis
But to sign by the x for taxes
Lets not talk about literary devices
Poetry is power, and time is money.
Life goes on by the hour, until the day gets sunny.
Save your energy for later, you'll need it.
See you later alligator, might as well eat it.
A lonely, desolate hallway stretches before me.
Two ways to turn, left or right.
Which is the right path to travel?
One is dismal in appearance. Screeches materialize from the shadows.
I lay in the night thinking of my lifeThough I am young I still want to be a wife.I love and get hurt, but how can I explain?What have I done to deserve pain?I am beautiful and smart,
Would you rather be in love OR would you rather be alone and heartbroken forever?
Would you rather learn and make your future successful OR would you rather have no future?
I hear her own thoughts ringing, the shadows that blur her eyes.
Those of doubts, each one clouding her judgment as they become constantly large and suffocating.
Don't tell me it will be alright.
That is something that neither of us know.
Yes, I have a past-and a challenging one at that-
But this is where I'll find my path.
What I expect is unlikely to see
A school full of life and possibilities
People try to tear you down
Rather than build you up; they shatter, all your hopes and dreams
What I imagined isn't ideal
She is at an awful age
of youth and exhaustion
of revelry and caution.
They say "Your whole life is ahead."
But weigh her future on the decisions
of today
How can she discover herself
when
Barbaric desire, despair’s impulse,
Flesh of flesh in incoherent rhythm,
Unknown but known
Then seen never again,
That which feels to protect.
The ground beneath my feet
Tremors with Soul and rational
Choking forth a dissonant harmony
Happiness doesnt always fall upon you,
you have to choose it and then persue it.
7 years ago, my world darkened,
my eyes were opened to how bad people really were,
We all make themSome are without thoughtSome harder than othersSome hold onto us and grant sleepless nightsEven after they are made we struggle with their impact
Blood drippingLegs closedArms coveredFeelings exposed
Hearts racingWounds unhealedMorbid thoughtsLips are sealed
Alone AloneYou left againA knife in my backIgnorant men
Teachers are the brains of this society
Basking in education, nearly causing themselves to solidify
Just to extend their brains to teach others how to qualify
The inevitable futures looms over me
On this journey to find myself
To pick a major is to pick a future
As I sit my mind wanders the world of options
Simply hoping to discover what’s next
Typical dork
Sneaky,geeky
Tutor, poet, plays chess
Inside a normal teenager
Misunderstood
Hold your breath as you go underDo not surrender to the depthAs you fall into darkness focus on the lightIt will show you the wayTry to fight towards the light
You are my best friend, a great brother, a great person.
I look up to you, my hero.
What happens if you come back and you don't care about me the same?
I think about you when you're not by my beside
You live miles away so that's almost all the time
Even worse we're going to college separate ways
Both hoping the relationship will never fade
The sky is the limit they say, yet I havent seen it in days.
Loose paper and pen, sorrounded by men.
Trying to make it through these years, with fears.
Never thought I would end up here, I learned to hear
Choices are never far or few
They may be hard to find
If you need something new
Just wait for that Que.
Choices will be kind
They give you an option or two
Just don't be blind
I'm standing at a crossroads, not sure which route to take. Should i take the right road, of which so few chose. Or should i take the other, and live a life I cannot make.
I’m trying to find something to base my life upon,Something in this strange world that goes on and on. As the years go by and time fades away, What were considered the good days are now filled with dismay.
Did you know that the backwords spelling of the word saggin is the word niggas?
Well, isn't that something.
It's a bit ironic because the world has embraced both terms with open arms like a mother
Take me out to play
Take me out to write
Do not delay
I am in the lime light
My words dripped down
In my genes it does rain
I am a writer in this town
Words I have slain
When the world is spinning
A bit too fast
And as much as you try
Your heart’s path comes last
And you remember the days
Of trying so hard to try
To follow those dreams
When will the world change? When its too late and we"re all outside of the gate. We're so easy to judge so easy to fight instead of trying to change a wrong to a right.Theres people living in riches while others are living under bridges.
Aftermath
The fire is
hot.
It burns way deep down in
your soul.
It sits there searing away inside you,
until you feel charred.
I’m only sixteen but I’ve lived through so much, but haven’t we all.
Who gives a six year old the decision to stay or go?
Moms in jail but whose gonna post bail.
Where Am I? Mexico?
I'm sorry, I don't speak spanish all that well. Shame on me? OK.
Everything smells different. Roosters in the road. Where are all of the mountains & hills?
I just want to learn to open my mind
And absorb whats inside
so tonight I lie
With a deep thriving drive
To explore and expand what 's mines
Before the cage bird dies
LIFE is a canvas
your CHOICES are your paintbrushes
your EXPERIENCES are your brushstrokes
your parents and mentors give you tools
and society pencils in guidelines
Momma said "boy be a doctor to take care of my problems when I'm old."
Momma said "boy be a lawyer to take care of the problems of the Unrepresented and the poor"
I don’t know where I’m going, but how I get there’s up to me
I give myself extra time for things I need to complete
I still search for my four-leaf clover in a field of threes
"Seven years," was my mantra
when I first moved.
I don't belong here, and now
it's too late to belong there
and I find these havens, in
sanctuaries and trees and basement rooms
Seasons come and go
Sceneries change over time
Nothing stays the same
A change in time, a change in place
A change in jobs, a change in pace
Change your style or change your friends
I need a smile on my face, a shot to chase
was wearing a crown, but now its fallen down
a bad choice for one day, changed my life forever and always.
Yes it took two,
but it only takes one to be smart
As Summer descends to its end, It creeps in
Fall
Under the notion that overlooking summer's 94 limitted days
will cause the season to last forever.
It's all about phases we humans go passed
The way we want to find ourselves
To define who we are
As being the first to go
The oldest in my family
I set the path my two sisters are destined to follow
I feel like I'm destined for something but will I reach that preset goal
I'm not cruise control
I'm speeding along and I break down
And it seems like destiny ain't for me.
Upside Down
Oh someone turn them right side up
I think they’re pining after a dream with no luck
‘Cause maturity will find them
Freed but still chained.
Dry it still rains
There is always two choices.
Two choices leads you to a sea of infinite decisions.
Succeed or fail.
Just make a choice.
Make your own path.
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
but forward the light brigade?
Seems odd for soldiers to fight in war
When generals see their choices made.
Some have an ambition to be a doctor
Some have an ambition to be a pilot
Some scuba divers, some athletes
There is a broad range of different ambitions
With people preaparing for ambitions from a young age
When you know you don't wanna give up,
You hold on tighter.
When you don't wanna give up,
You wonder if what you're going through is worth it.
When you don't wanna give up,
You become blind.
And all I see looking back at me,
Is broken glass Destiny.
And all these paths we make,
And all these lives we take,
Lead to selfish will
And hope that always fills
The empty side of me.
Once a little girl
Full of life
Nothing brought me down
I was always happy
Not a care in the world
About the tragedies of life
I didn't even know they existed
At least they didn't in mine
I wish that I was what you wish me to be
A girl who follows someone else's dream
To be someone living a different life
Who has things she could easily get
A decision for living Your life to God giving Into the water is the immersion But this is just outer diversion Devotion and Loyalty Trouble and Strife These are all part of a Christian's life This is the greatest choice you'll ever make It is a wo

A Swaying.
A Blowing.

*Down a dusty road he walked, his feet were always bare.
No one passing with him talked, not a soul did care.
None could fathom what he sought, or even wonder why.
The Beatles once said, you need to change your mind instead
Rather than revolution, changing the institution, rewriting the constitution.
But I’ve made up my mind,
And I don’t have any more time
We live in the land of the privileged.
But our humanity has been lost.
We have so much power,
but that power comes with a cost.
How to know what you've done right
It's the bright of the light
The way your lips curve
The sights the sounds, they give it away
Kind of like a salty blue ocean bay
How you know you've done wrong
Ambition.
To strive, to feel completed
Everything that you may have wanted,
Are now the things you may have needed.
But tell me, What is Ambition?
The ability and hunger to go after your dreams.
I never know what choice to make,
Be it right, be it wrong.
I never know which road to take,
Be it right, be it left.
I never know what to do,
Be it this or be it that.
I never know who to trust,
Has he even noticed? Or does he even care?
This car is turning, racing but we're going nowhere.
He steps on the gas, my heart begins to flutter.
We're free falling fast, but without God's ruder.
