      Being an adult is… Being constantly aware that death is simultaneously very close and very far away, so each day is a rush to slow down so that you can get enough energy from stillness to speed up and get going. What are you worried about currently?

      I'm Thinking of a Master Plan. - Elviles M. Crosby II

      A Running Commitment

      Maybe it’s me

      I am in disbelief

      Just partial on this

      And how it happened to me

      Who would have thought

      That when you make a wish

      You just may get

      That in which you sought

      But to look no further

      How do I know I love her

      Am I really ready to give my life to each other

      I had more in store

      Expecting to get a piece from every core

      It is insane and almost crazy

      But to pick and choose

      Just one lady

      To have and to hold

      Even when the bond blurs

      No matter what is wrong

      She is right

      Bump heads, curse names

      Argue and fight

      But in the end

      It’s her that makes everything alright

      Where is the wrong in that

      All Smiles

      When you know what you know

      And why you know it

      Then you are probably right

      That’s what’s up

      But everything that’s not

      Is left let down

      To you

      See it

      You are here

      Where x should mark the spot

      But you know where you want to be

      Where all fact is left behind

      And cups are full,

      That’s your language

      That’s what releases your anguish

      This is what you know

      And you know why

      To be sitting on your own beach

      With clinched dreams in your palm

      And even more dreams at your lips

      Never slips, spoils, or swings

      Mood is right, chilly, cool, and breezy

      Laughs and smiles you know?

      Amber Alert

      Green light

      Says go

      Yellow

      Speaks of delay

      My little red riding hood

      Is the one

      I thought

      That would stay

      Be Careful

      People always put their trust in some

      Of the wrong people.

      Learning later that they never really had you

      In their best interest. Never judge a book by its

      Cover but always

      Examine the truth. The answer is right in front of you.

      Being Apart

      How do I explain these conversations with myself?

      Just a lot of talking lately

      It’s been back and forth and here and there

      Just double the trouble

      Euphoric, at times, it pleasures my pains.

      No pain is kept forever however

      I try to constantly convince myself that there is no other.

      I am at least that sane.

      Conversations with myself

      Freud says ultimately there is three to blame

      But seemingly my psyche pans out like a spider gram

      It was W.E.B. who said souls as pluralism

      Perhaps that explains my pluralistic

      Being apart

      Believe In Yourself

      I believe that the fear of failing

      Dictates some of the decisions we make

      The disappointment of a failure will kill a dream

      Before it is even dreamt up to take

      We feel as if we will not live up

      To the potential that we have

      So we develop a passive attitude

      Due to some happening in the past

      We disqualify ourselves from great things

      Before realize succeeding

      Everyone wants success but not to endure

      The feeling of crashing, burning and bleeding

      That is the cause of inaction

      No one will want to step up

      If there is a fear

      Of being stomped down with passion.

      What are your beliefs?

      They all have a chance

      Of being ridiculously great

      Or greatly ridiculous

      Even though we know where some of our strengths lie

      And know the truths of our capabilities

      We often times count ourselves out

      Because we are afraid of the disappointments

      Afraid of rejection and being unsuccessful

      Therefore making ourselves miss out

      On the countless opportunities

      A result from this can be the feeling of hopelessness

      Able to succeed or improve,

      And resolved, helped, or cured

      But we just don’t know it, yet

      That is why I believe that the fear of failure causes inaction.

      Leaves many people scared to fail

      Or transcend.

      Instead of looking at a failure as a speed bump

      They consider it as a dead end

      A problem that is creating a world

      Of lost dreams and many unknown ideas
