everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege

the pursuit of happiness is a most ridiculous notion, if you pursue happiness you'll never find it

a hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is braver for 5 minutes longer


I am the Words,
That take you away.
I am the words that turn night into day,
I am the Words.
I am the words that make your life bright,
And tell you not to go left,
But instead, right.
Do you know that I cared?
Did you ever think,
That I would truly be kicked to the roadside?
If you didn’t, then you are about to be caught unaware-
I am the Words!
I have not died!
I am the Words,
Who have made people cry.
I am the Words
Who lived on through
Time,
And shall not be finished
At the end
Of this line.

A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep.

Wow! I love this. It has such an easy flow and great word choice. I love that its open to how YOU personally wanna look at it. My favorite lines are "I am the words/ That make your life bright/ And tell you not to go left/ But instead, right" - when I read it, I took it kinda as a play on words. Like "But instead, write." I dunno, it just fits. Great writing! Keep it up and thanks for commenting my stuff! :)
