23

Swear I'm stuck in a daze where weeks feel like days and days feel like weeks... It's like navigating a maze with corneas in a haze and a GPS signal that's weak... [so to speak] The maze's center is my ego surrounded by my credo all at the base of a peak... Maybe I'd rather be right than free god must've forgot to Cc me and inform me on what to seek... I need something to follow spent some time feeling hollow and meanderin' 'til I was weak... So hero I am, back at the center near the end of September wondering what to critique... Is it me or is it them? so susceptible to whim and scared I reek of mystique... Maybe my techniques just antique? The more you learn the less you speak, but its still hard turning the other cheek... Bendin' these words like Beck...ham or the author of Green eggs & ham no denying these words are sleek... sam I am, I think therefore I Am studyin' like finals week, cram I'm tryna make it cool to be a geek... Y'all are like mouths without tongues scared to speak up cause you're young worried bout strikin' out before you swung fear of fear, just do you and be unique... I've got so much to say but I can't do it all a day so stay tuned, I'm on a streak... Thought I'd figure it out by now slowly becoming one with the Tao then again I'm only twenty three...

What a coincidence, I just thought to write a poem called "23" (about my year 23). I am sure you will find your way, xxx
