Don’t Go (I Have To)
I try
To conjure up images
Of me leaving
Nothing stops the inevitable
Except for my imagination
It always pauses on the part
Where we have our first hug
And I cannot seem to say goodbye
To conjure up images
Of me leaving
Nothing stops the inevitable
Except for my imagination
It always pauses on the part
Where we have our first hug
And I cannot seem to say goodbye

Tripping Under the Bed
I don’t want to ever wake up
Because it’s warm in here
And it’s cold out there,
But don’t look into my eyes
Or you might get scared
Because the truth of what’s out there
Is hidden here
The cold of the core
And the vibes that we store
Are what reminds us that there’s a room
And more
But here in the good
God answers our prayers
And tears we don’t wipe make us glow even more
And the pain is from smiling with no chains to before
I could stay here forever with sparkling
Warm
You

And it’s cold out there,

Or you might get scared
Because the truth of what’s out there

Are what reminds us that there’s a room

Angel of My Lyceum Dreams
Angel of My Lyceum Dreams
Caravansary of souls
Where my tender sprout of youth
Lived after the steam of tears
Misted into ghosts in the crystal ball
Of a womanly vision
For my future dream
Of return to the lost carousel
Of the doctorate dreams
I’d left for dead
The corpse of a hope
So long on life support
Whose plug I’d pulled ...

Tornado Of Codes
All of my emails
Are of colleges
The same exact ones
They send to everybody else
It’s stressing me out—-
stressing me out
stressing me
Out
Me
Stressing
Fuck. Shut up will you?

The Value of Self Knowledge
As I apply for a scholarship
To pay the intuition
For a well established
State Institution,
I’m reminded by a puff of smoke
Entering the hippocampus
That such thoughts
Must share a dorm
Meant for dueling patience.
Majoring in substance abuse,
Your councilor suggests
Laying off the hard stuff.
Bit on the nose
But you take her advice
Trading DSM-5 for
An anonymous substitute.
“Study for your UA?”
Balked the TA.
“Not Today,”
‘S what I’d say
If I hadn’t flunked out
Twice already – ...

So Much WEIGHT
I’m going to be a senior next year
Going to be an adult
Going to apply to colleges
Going to work harder
Than I have in my entire life
But I feel horrifically sad
What if
I can’t do it?
Going to be an adult
Going to apply to colleges
Going to work harder
Than I have in my entire life
But I feel horrifically sad

Should have went with your gut
A boy and a girl from the university drive home through a bad part of town at night
She told him to go this way,
claiming this was a shortcut to the neighborhood
He didn't agree but listened to her anyway
At a stop light, a rock smashes their windshield
The girl is startled
The guy gets out of the car and takes a look around
There is a gunshot
The bullet goes into his left thigh
He screams and falls down
Two teenagers approach the car
They shoot the boy one more time
This shot is the fatal one
Right between the eyes

The Tragic Tale of a Young Girl's Body
She was young, just a tender age
Filled with innocence and wonder
Her body, firm and full of life's stage
But little did she know, she'd soon be torn asunder
She walked with grace and confidence
Unaware of the danger that lurked
Her beauty, an ever-present presence
But to the predator, she was just a piece of meat to be shirked
She knew not of the evil that lay in wait
As she strolled through the streets
Her mind filled with dreams and fate
But all those hopes would soon meet their defeat

Everything is Important
(and Nothing is More Important Than Everything)
Given the calculations and parameters I’ve set within time limits and resources
I am lacking in the stimulus and motivation to continue my education
Presently as my overall health and condition has been in a slow decline for years
It is no excuse to place a mental obstacle rendering me to a state of obfuscation
With that in mind, a fear of success has created a parabolical intellectual block
Anticipating a physical exhaustion with a rather unreal anxiety of the unknown
But it lies more in the...

Fear of Success
I had thought about returning to college for several years
But the fear of success had kept me in the dark for a while
“It’s too difficult, I’m too old, I don’t have the money or time”
All the excuses I had in my mind filled my heart with anxiety
But for far too long I was feeling I had hit a glass ceiling
The lack of a degree kept my career stalled or at a stand still
Until one day I decided to go back to the old campus
Seeing the buildings and students gave me an old thrill
So that day, standing there on the university campus
