Driven

Iam driven by everything my ancestors have been through!

My family did not immigrate to this country to just roll over and die!

So why would I?

It is my responsibility to make it a better world!

For you, for me, for my family 

For all of those who lost their lives!

 They had to survive and thanks to them I’m alive

 with a will to strive.

This & that

It was dark and it ugly

and in it I found clarity

It was peaceful and lovely and in it I found tragedy

Good morning

I see a reflection yet no sight of me.

Mind moves Curiously and aimlessly

I question everything

blasphemy.

I see a reflection Yet no sight of me

I see potential, modestly

I see a kid who is eaten up by the world of rivalry

It’s the elephant in the room i can’t contain my emotions inside of me

I see a reflection , it’s animosity

Man wtf is wrong with me ,

It’s disgusting !

honestly !

I see a reflection it’s harmony

Waves crash , birds soaring , blue skies

Winds blowing . Friends Family Health new beginning. I saw a reflection it was based on a true story , new prespective on reality. I was once 15 years old , currently in the unknown but on my way to C.E.O

Today is a good day

Good morning .

Perception

Life is what you make it.

Like polarized sunglasses perception is only a lens.

Awareness

If only we knew .. 

If only we understood 

If only someone gave us the Love Filter 

Then maybe there wouldn’t be war 

Or allow kids to be detained in cages

Maybe there wouldn’t be parents neglecting their 1st born while high on meth 

Maybe we wouldn’t be dropping F - bombs @ 9:00am 

Maybe we would understand there is only 1 race  

Maybe we would be captivated by nature’s true beauty 

Maybe it’s to late 

Maybe you rather hate 

Maybe you are aware 

Maybe we just don’t care 

Maybe we pretend to understand who the enemy is only behind the ego 

Maybe we weren’t educated on kinetic energy 

Or Isaac Newton’s 3rd law of motion 

Maybe I’ll should act like I’m not aware

Maybe I’ll put it to rest and attempt to forget

If only we stop and observed our abstract notions 

Then maybe we give a warm blanket to the cold homeless man down by the bridge 

Struggling to get accepted by society 

Like he did, as a kid ..

(Less resistance more warm hearts) 

True victory is achieved when we surrender 

“Forgive them for they know not what they do”

Your poems are actually great 

it’s an insight into your mind at work aka the brain 

Don’t worry about the likes / comments 

What matters most is you’re the writer 

We create from emotional states 

And we openly type away 

No fear or judgement can take away the known fact it’s you and your feelings on paper w/ no shame 

I applaud you guys for welcoming  me and everyone else at the end of the day be proud of your work 

Writers have to be read 

But don’t let 3 likes  

Stop you from sharing 

Be 

you 

everyday .

Hashtag

3 hours of sleep 

79 degrees 

Beaming sunshine 

Empty stomach 

Sticky sweat 

Distant chirping 

Soaring birds

Distorted Vision 

Walking a trail 

I could no longer tell 

Began Dry Heaving 

Pale face 

Oxygen leaving 

Gasping for air 

And Faster my heart is beating 

Needed a minute to get it together 

Told my sister to continue the hike 

“I just need some air and I’ll be alright.”

  Few minutes passed nobody in sight 

Not feeling better 

I’ll most likely die 

Pupils are dilated  

Mind is now racing 

All out of water 

It was the perfect storm 

It’s mayhem 

Can’t escape fate 

But I remembered nothing is prewritten 

Tried screaming for help but it was just 

Me , Trees , Thoughts & Breeze  

Frantic at last 

Gathered my thoughts 

Took some deep breaths , Sigh , and accept 

I’m not making out alive of this canyon but 0 regrets 

I must accept I am dying and this was my test 

Was I really in touch w/ my spiritual side 

The answer was YES! 

So I’m not afraid to die 

Because I know there is a life on the other side 

I fully surrendered 

Ready to die 

I know I survived but not fully convinced 

That I am alive 

 6 Grams later 

Im floating in

Blue.

.

Neon yellow vest

Red beaming face

Hard hat on

Troubled race

We are looked down on

The same way I look at my callused hands

We didn’t migrate to take over we came

To participate

“ Land of the free “

Flee , North 

The South was never safe

1861 proclaimed ! 

Damn shame

Native Americans had it right

Europe colonized

In a very inhumane way

Back to the point

We are all apart of modern day slavery

Mexican - American

I cared more about the money

Than the slave making it

Got my hands on some green 

“Who cares about my Genetic Tree”

1 bad fall , 2 slipped discs

No health insurance for this “piece of shit”

I was a child w/ a dream too

Now I lay in hospital bed 442

Visiting hours are over

Wish my Life had too

This my reality

Hope yours isn’t nearly this 

  blue.

-Life

I’m the 1st breath you take 

I am the life in you 

Green trees 

Ocean , Desert  , Mountain & Sea 

I am flow of energy 

I am in this universe entirely

You took me for granted 

You claimed I’m not fair 

I gave some lesson but you didn’t grasp them 

Presented some options 

You couldn’t manage !

still didn’t figure !

eventually pulled the trigger 

(The , lights ..... they all flashed )

Your body felt numb , I was now exiting  

You’re officially Done 

I’ll strengthen your family 

As now they are now numb 

Your death is a hurtle they must overcome

Your pain was not killed it also just moved on

The bullet wasn’t the answer

bad perception = cancer

“We all have a choice”

That’s The real anthem

Live , love .. enjoy
