Noise

Such a small place, so much noise.

Finding it so hard to maintain my poise.

Somebody save me! Save me from this cacophony.

Treat me with nothing less than a sweet symphony.

It may be a smallville but it definitely needs some order.

I need a noble. Maybe the man from Krypton. A noise bender. Korra?

Silence is far. So far away from me.

I need an alternative. Something more pleasant.

An aural sedative. A composed depressant.

A while ago, I found my cure. I needed a dose of music.

But I tuned into a wrong frequency and now, all I hear is static.

“Hold on”, they said. “Do not panic.”

But they don’t understand my condition. Drugged with mental poison. My neural arsenic.

This concoction of sounds like scrambled beacons.

A shockwave messing up my mind; producing deceptions and cons.

It’s a whole new level and no sign of the end.

Lots of mixed signals. Even Fourier can’t comprehend.

Here’s my last note:

Somebody help me! I need an antidote.

Paper Planes

Sometimes, we fly like paper planes

Gliding in the air, silent, with no roar of a jet.

Sometimes proud, putting on the mane like we’re never gonna hit the dirt.

Changing our lanes every time we get hurt.

With the least turbulence and bad weather

We turn around or pummel to the ground when we experience danger.

Fly like a jumbo;

Not depending solely on the flow.

Fly majestically. Ride the wild winds.

Break through the ice in the clouds.

Even if you begin to fall,

Do not enter the state of dismay, whether in a stall.

This ain’t no mayday, do not make that call.

You may have struck ice, but believe in yourself. You ain’t no titanic.

This day isn’t that different. Enjoy it.

It’s a can-day.

Fire the engines once again. Make that ascent.

Be a jetfighter. Let the stars cream.

Like a transformer, make some changes.

As the Typhoon, ride the winds. Take the journey across.

Your weakness may be air-to-ground but I think we all agree: that isn’t your 
purpose.

Be a Sidewinder missile. Seek your target

Don’t give up. Do not explode. No. Not just yet.

Like the shuttle, launch into space, out of this domain.

Not even the sky, is your limit.

Time to close this piece. Returning to base.

Continue to be who you are. Be different.
