Jealousy or Admiration

I Guess you could call it jealousy, but to me that sounds to harsh, I would rather call it admiration.  One of the poems that I chose was We Real Cool, By: Gwendolyn Brooks....

We real cool. We
Left School. We
lurk Late. We
Strike straight.  We
Sing sin.  We
Thin gin.
We jazz June.
We Die soon.

At this point you are probably thinking, "are you for REAL?!" the answer is Yes.  At first this poem looks dumb and stupid it might be because we all can relate to it in the simplest way.  Maybe it is because we know exactly who these people are, or in fact we could be this type of person.  What I love about it is that it has the power of Simplicity.  The Author was able to get their message across in just a few lines and that is what I admire.

My Complaints

I'm tired of believe people when you know everything is a lie.  I'm tired of being told who I am. I'm tired of being the only one who helps out.  I'm tired of being ignored.  I'm tired of the rush.  I'm tired of making decisions.  I'm tired of not being on the beach.  I'm tired of feeling like someone else stuck in this place.  I'm tired of these people.  I'm tired of wearing jeans.  I'm tired of being pushed around.  I'm tired of not knowing what to do.  I'm tired of the rules.  I'm tired of routine.  I'm tired of waiting.  Maybe tomorrow I wont be so tired.

Love Is...

Love is that wrenching black hole in  your gut.
Love is coal being refined into gold.
Love is giving up everything you have just so someone can have something.
Love is knowing you made it to the top of the hill without stopping.
Love is the fastest roller coaster, once you get off you cant wait to get back on again.
Love is that breakfast food smiley face on a rainy day.
Love is waiting for something when you don't know if its coming.
Love is saying it out loud.

The Places I Would Go.....

If I were a spec I could go anywhere in the world. Why a spec you ask well a spec can just float up there, around in the vast nothingness of the world.  I would go to the tallest peak, to the deepest sea, to the middle of no-where. I would be swallowed and spit out by a giant sea turtle just because.  I would roll with Kid Cudi, take a ride in a Bugatti, and just sing with my buddy.  There would be no worries of then, now, or soon.  No pressure just me and my tunes. I would go to the pyramids of Egypt, chill with old King Tut. I would listen to people from everywhere with out being noticed.  I would go everywhere and no-where to see where I've I been.  If I were a spec.

Boulevard Of Broken Dreams....

I walk Alone    I walk Alone
Im stuck in these gray places
There's no way to see where Im going or where I've been
The walls are caving in
The people here have Abandonment written on their faces.
I walk Alone     I walk Alone
The whispered Someday's still hang in the air
Its hard to keep my head on straight
I've been given too much on my plate
Sometimes the confusion is too much to Bear.
I walk Alone    I walk Alone
Across my path blows a tumbleweed
Shattered glass covers the ground
A preserved building is yet to be found
I hope to never come back to this place....I plead.

Im Thinking About You

I'm thinking about you like the moon thinks about the sun.  I'm thinking about you like sand thinks about the ocean.  Like seniors think about graduation.  Like clouds think about rain. I'm thinking about you like cars think about speed.  I'm thinking about you like inmates think about escape.  Like players think about winning.  Like the dark thinks about the light.  I'm thinking about you like chalk thinks about the sidewalk.  I'm thinking about you like black and white think about color.  Like boats think about floating.  I'm thinking about you like sad thinks about happy.  I'm thinking about you like wind thinks about blowing.  Like roosters think about crowing.  Like music thinks about flowing.  I'm always thinking about you.

Rock out like you just got a new song and you have listened to it 5 times in a row because you love it!

Rock out like you have someone to play in the rain with

Rock out like your strutting your new kicks

Rock out like you feel as if you could run forever and not get tired

Rock out like your mom has cancer and they just found the cure so she doesn’t have to suffer anymore

Rock out like its happy hour at Starbucks

Rock out like feel as if nothing could go wrong

Rock out like nothing can stop you

Rock out like that moment when you play a sick drum beat and it just flows

Rock out like you and your buds are going on a road trip across America with no parental supervision

Rock out like you don’t care what other people think of you

Rock out like you just found a new friend

Rock out like the sun comes out and it’s finally spring after a long winter

Rock out like that time when you can’t stop smiling and you don’t know why

Rock out like its Thursday but you had the best day ever and things are just going to keep getting better because tomorrow is Friday

Rock out like everything’s gonna be alright!!
