Change The System
They tell us we’re the future yet 63% of us stand under twenty-five, hungry for more than empty promises. They say unemployment is only 6.8% but when each job vacancy spawns nineteen hopeful faces, those numbers shatter. It’s not our fault alone we’re taught to pass, not to prepare, and leaders build bridges to nowhere. change the system, rebuild classrooms with real tools, forge curricula in...

House I Carry
I carry a house upon my back, A fragile frame of dreams and stone. Its windows cracked, its timbers black, But still I walk, and still alone. Each wall is built from words unsaid, From nights I stitched with fraying thread. Its roof is shingled with the dread Of all the tears I never shed. I pass through valleys, rivers wide, This house sways...

I sing the praises of Sterilite (even Mary Poppins would tout a plug for said company she would spout forcing playthings scattered helter skelter retreating into their respective bins analogous to a defeated army beating a hasty retreat after a major rout against all odds fighting off the aggressive incursion of a trumpeting lout, which troops use weapon of choice namely breath issuing "Kraut" which in German,...

The Journey In Me
I stand with the world in my hands, Not because I own it, But because I believe A better world begins with me. One step, I walk a quiet road, Learning life, one lesson at a time. Another step, I climb a hill, Chasing dreams that feel too high. Behind me is the man I was, Before me is the man I will be. In...

Falling Leaves, Fading Chapters
I watched a leaf release its breath, A golden sigh upon the air. It tumbled softly into death, A quiet dance without despair. The wind, a gentle funeral song, Caressed it with a lover’s grace. It drifted, weightless, swept along, No bitterness upon its face. I thought of all I’ve had to leave, The hands, the homes, the hollow years. I thought of how we...

Be Your Own Life DJ
You built the skills, you have done the work, Faced every challenge, adjusted to every quirk. Now comes the fork in the road of life that is yours to face Grab the microphone of life with a warm embrace A DJ doesn’t follow sound, They craft the moment, feel the ground. They blend the old with the new, create the...

Premium Member A Writer's Reach
The pale blue lines on which I write stretch to infinity, and hint of a distant, misty line where heaven touches sea. The reach of sight, the eye's extreme, as far as the mind can go, is but a candle in the sun of all the heart may know. A writer's reach must far exceed...

Born to Rise
"Blackbird" You cannot cage what's born to rise, she blazed beyond their brittle lies. They named her ash, they named her end, but fire learns how not to bend. Her silence cracked the sky in two, she flew where only lightning flew, They heard her cry, not weak–but wise– a battle hymn of "Blackbird" skies....

In A Box
You put me in a box— 'Cause that’s what makes you comfortable. You put me in a box— 'Cause that’s what makes you strong. You put me in a box And tell me That’s where I belong. You put me in a box To keep me Contained. Controlled. You put me in a box To strip away my soul. You put me in a box And seal it up...

The Chance You Get
Take that chance every chance you get, fall on your face and then forget, live your life without regret, take that chance every chance you get. More risk by far to never make the run, and lose your dreams one by one, and forgetting each until you’re done. Rather rise and embrace each day, another step on your chosen way, there’s no better time...
