Do you see that sadness in your own eyes?
Yea, I wish I could change the world If I tried.
There’s a thing called love, but what if love died?
And if love is life and life is dead, then what survives?
And if life is laughter and laughter is gone, then do we all cry?
Within the waning whispers of laughter we let out a sigh.

I’m speaking in tongues, twisted and tied.
Mouth sewn shut but words open wide.
Vocal chords ring deep but syllables are hung high.
Syntax takes a back seat to grammatical crimes.
The only way to express myself is in the art of rhymes.
But now I can’t even draw from the well if it’s dry.
If words are tucked away.
Then what am I supposed to say?

Limbs lay lifeless.
The day I was numb to touch was priceless.
Even my eyes became sightless.
My arms weakened to become might-less.
Although Nike promised victory to me, I was flightless.
All I could do was stare blindly in awe at her highness.
This time A more seriously caused paralysis.
A case of a heart attack at its finest.
If my body can’t move.
Then what am I supposed to do?

In the sky I see a great, beautiful, white luminescence
Awe in my eyes as if I had seen God’s wondrous essence
So mysterious yet even darkness shudders in its presence
And with its light feathers it climbs above the moon’s crescents

But fear steadies my hopes, shortening my hand’s reach
What if I fall off the edge of the earth chasing it on my own two feet
If I jump as high as it flies, can I really attain what I seek?
Such beauty, but the journey is what truly makes men weak

And if I catch it, what if it just flies away?
I’ll search for it, but its light no longer lights my way
Its wings carry it to the stars, regardless of how much I plead it to stay
How can such a dove so pure induce such menacing heartbreak?

Chill beats and cool songs, on repeat while summer’s on
Hot feet splash in aquatic ponds, trees shade from the heat’s bond

Another day I’ll never forget.

Amazing day.  Such a great way to end high school.  I’m missing it already.  Graduation was perfect, and the party was really fun.  Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate my graduation.  Appreciate it.

And the leg sweeps, dragging the dust across the gray floor.
The sole of my worn, three-striped adidas scratches the ground.
One lone drop of sweat trickles down my cheeks.
Fingers gripping the hard, cold floor, bearing the weight of my body.
Muscles tighten, relax, contract, loosen, stretch, scream
Lungs swallowing gulps of air, heart beating furiously.
Body glides in the air, floating light as a feather.
The air slowly moving around my limbs.
Boom.
Boom.
Bap.
Boom.
Boom.
Bap.
The beat resonating through my whole body.
Vibrations coursing through my nerves.
Hand reaches.
Leg stomps.
Body flies.
Spin.
Contract.
Slide.
End.
