Favorite Quote:
Be of love a little more careful than of anything
-e. e. Cummings


The coldness and darkness,
Makes no heart content,
The act of plagiarism,
Puts the originality up for rent,
We focus on the little things,
And let the big problems fade,
But we know in our hearts,
That no decision has been made,
We pollute the air,
With buses and cars,
We pollute our minds,
By not reaching for the stars,
We fill our brain with things that don’t matter,
We let the important things diminish and scatter,
We may not notice at first,
But we do it every day,
Another important moment fades as work comes after play,
We call each other liars and call each other fake,
And once we’ve lost a friend,
We know it was a mistake,
Keep on dreaming, don’t listen to nightmares and never fall into the hole
Only we can determine who will take the final toll.


The author's comments:
I was so tired of the drama and listening to people complain about things that didn't matter. They let the big problems sit and wait to be handled and I was sick of it. that is what inspired me to write this piece.
