Boundless Imagination creates unachievable Dreams;
inconceivable Aspiration causes perpetual Dissatisfaction;
relentless Determination yields augmenting Insanity.
To accept such truths is to relinquish Hope;
to relinquish hope is to lose Purpose;
to lose purpose is to defer Dreams.
To percei...
Waiting for sleep to press upon my eyelids,
I see visions of the past, the present, and the future
Blend into one another in blurred frames.
The images danced in a soothing melody,
To the rhythm of hope, love, joy, and gratitude.
Reflecting upon the past with serene introspection
My past expec...

The trees’ cells may be impermeable to
That which the human’s cells are permeable to,
The trees' role in the environment may be to produce
That which humans hungrily consume,
The tree may be raised in nature’s motherly care
That which humans contend to destroy,
Having been brough...
Once upon a time, you were all I ever wanted.
You would never be mine, I feared;
But suddenly one day you appeared.
With you by my side, I was never taunted.
All I ever wanted was an A+ in Algebra II.
My previous efforts were fruitless;
My desire was becoming rootless
But at last, my wish ...
All of us are part of something bigger than us-
Something of greater importance,
Something of greater necessity
Than our mundane lives.
Your knowledge, experiences, beliefs, and values
form your unique cultural identity and
self-definition.
You are a crucial individual
For your contribut...
Watching, late one night, some family videos recorded years ago, I was surprised to feel tears running down my cheeks. I grinned as I saw myself on the screen pestering my dad as he took the video. I laughed as my best friend and I—being only six or seven—made a tremendous mess in the basement. ...
Here’s to finding euphoria
My dreamland, my home—
The place where I belong.
My kingdom, my palace—
Where everything is ruled by me.
My escape from reality.
I’m sick and tired.
Sick of my complacency—
My voluntary abidance of
Your despotic tyranny—
Tired of your disrespect—

At an hour late in the night, my eyelids felt not time’s gravity.
The stars shone luminously in the sky like scattered diamonds.
The moon’s romantic glow in the black, velvety blanket above
added to the phantasmagorical beauty of the outside world.
The habitual croaking and chirping tonigh...
A red rose overshadowed by pines,
Despite the darkness, radiantly shines.
The successful are the rose;
The world is their repose.
Nothing is beyond success’s confines.
A wilting daisy in the summer’s heat
Grows relentlessly at dehydration’s feet.
The successful are the daisy.
The wo...
The year 2010 was characterized by earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and a whole lot of shifting of Earth’s tectonic plates that left us mundane humans watching in awe as television broadcasts brought the action from across the world into the convenience of our own homes, narrating stories of chao...
We face an unimaginable number of decisions to make every day throughout our lives. From the time we wake up to the time we sleep, we choose the path we want to take in life. We live our lives the way we want to live them, and every decision we make is entirely up to us. That being said, it is possi...
The plasticity of the human mind is impressive; it can be molded into a creative tool, or a latent organ. The only way to teach is to awaken the slumbering passion for the particular subject found within each student. My sophomore year English teacher has done a remarkable job in inspiring the minds...
I was chatting with a fish the other day
Who wore a powdered wig and spoke with such eloquence
one could believe he was Benjamin Franklin in his past life.
He clutched a pen and a notebook, immersed in deep thought.
“Fish,” I called to him, “what nonsense are you pondering over today?”

Amongst a sea of apathetic beings, I find myself drowning.
My strength is the will to live, to be an individual.
I swim towards the shore, fighting the current, expressing my ideas.
The current is too strong, too oppressive, their power comes in numbers.
I exert all my effort, everything I am, e...
