What You've Done

This Cell

Trapped In A Lens

The Pusher

This Day will never be.

Poetry Poem

For The ones I left behind

The Others

You act like a guinea pig
Squirming your dismal life away
Allowing others to tell you
What to think,
What to do;
What to say.

They will tell you
Intelligence is measured
By the certificate on your wall
When, in reality
It is not this way at all!

A musician must play
A writer must write
A teacher must teach;
If you look a little deeper,
You will see
That they lead not by example
They do not practice what they preach;

You must never allow them to tell you
 That your dream is out of reach.

Listen not
To what they say;
Live each day for you
And do not allow them
Or anything else
To stand in your way!
