PASSION BLOG

Passions vary from person to person, and when we grow so do our passions. Mine have grown from athletic based things to art to writing. As I tragically found out that I will never be anything along the lines of athletic, or at least not anything in reality. I can play some BALL on PlayStation. I tend to give up on things when they don't go as planned, but writing was never like that for me so here are some of my poems that I wrote for my most recent portfolio:





“Vase”

The vase sits in the middle of a living room
Lifeless
Meaningless
Much like you
It holds something so beautiful but it forgets to drink the water it's given
So the beautiful thing dies and is somehow replaced with another a little less beautiful
The process repeats and the vase still stays on the table
Lifeless
Meaningless
The shot of a gun
The smash of glass
I am picking up the pieces unaware if they are mine or yours
The vase sits in a different room now
Missing half
Tucked away on a shelf and revisited when you take your winter clothes out
The vase sits
Lifeless
Meaningless
Missing pieces hidden and forgotten
Better luck next time.
A lesson learned is a lesson lived.



“Early morning thoughts”
Its early
Around 6 am
The birds chirp to let the world know they are alive
I find myself  envious of the birds and their symbolist ideals How could one be so perfect for poetic rhetoric
I ponder and sip my coffee
Scratch that
I sip my tea
much more meaningful and light than coffee
Too dark
I don't want to be dark despite my emotional tendencies
I want to be able to live freely and not be held down by the weight of self expression
Stumbling over my disregard for myself
I allow myself to breathe
For the first time in months


Letting the world know I'm alive.


“High”
I have a tight feeling in my chest
Either due to the Adderall I just took or the joint I just smoked
I always wondered about how others perceive me
Forgetting I don't know how to perceive myself
You see
I spend my life fixing the flawed characteristics of my body and face
I spend my time
I spend my time
I waste my time




“Forgotten poetry”
Run around in circles until you fall
An epitome of love and lust
As we forget the difference or confuse it
It's the downfall of our a kind
Or maybe just you
Sit me on a table to cool down
to assume
That i am okay with you keeping me in your pocket
I am not.
I continue to not be content with the betrayal of such
Why is it easy for you
Why is it easy for you to break my heart
Let me cool



“Play time”
I believe you see me as a toy
A toy in which is better with its clothes off
A toy in which is easier in the dark around 3 am
A toy in which love radiate outs of
A toy in which loves you
a toy none the less

  1. I love that you included a link to your portfolio as well as some of your actual pieces. It's convenient to have some of your work on the same page.
