I really enjoy writing these for my friends and I have quite a few. This one, however, I recently wrote. Enjoy!<br />
<br />
I feel like, everyday is a past life, and that what I'm doing has all been done before,<br />
the footprints I make on the floor, the moments I create don't even matter anymore, cause I've got this new perspective and it's cryptic.<br />
Alright, so I see the world as this tiny little dot, amongst thousands of other dots, and that makes me feel small, I can't even recall, where this state of mind came from, or how I got to be so loathsome,<br />
but I know that it's something that I can transform out of and get to see the beauty of life and live it, get to see miracles happen and believe it, get to watch the birds fly and know that one day when I die I can fly too, cause I took the chance, and never even glanced at the possibility, of failure, something that would make so many stumble at the thought of grandeur.<br />
And I know this seems to follow the same tracks as my last few raps, but I believe in progression, and that everything teaches a lesson; I can sit back and watch her pass by or I can chase after her, and through whatever disaster, I can live happily ever after, because I've learned the <b>lesson's</b> she has to share, and I'll always know where, this state of mind came from, cause I busted my brain to refrain, from sinking back into that lonely state of pain... I just felt like I needed to explain.<br />

So I used to write them lyrics, this is one of the verses I wrote for them (probably my favorite). They actually still come over to jam quite a bit... I play the drums and we make fly ass beats. Anyways, enjoy!!<br />
<br />
It's a beautiful thing life is, such a pity we only get to live it once,<br />
though some believe in reincarnation, I could never believe that philosophy,<br />
for my minds on vacation, determination, to avoid reality...<br />
Like the wind in my hair its gone in a second, like the water in a stream, that gleams in the sunlight,<br />
the light that we let shine on our skin to give us a light to look up to when we fall down, to the ground,<br />
that caress's us so carefully, detrimentally, in a sense, but when we scream out in agony we know the moment's only a memory, fighting it's way into the depths of our mind, just to leave it behind,<br />
for another day to reminisce about how we almost pissed ourselves crying, trying, defying, rectifying,<br />
how unjust it was, and how the earth could just bust us up, then we remember how we healed, our life once so concealed, but then it opens up and we blossom, feeling so awesome, its like "nothing will stop'em!", but then we get set back to reality, the memory like gravity... you know it's there but you can't grasp it.<br />
So just breathe in the air and let the water soak your skin, let your body loose to the rhythm and syncopate your feet with the beat, feel your heart pound with every sound, watch your sweat drip down to the ground and land so profound and just Remember that nothing lasts forever so whatever the weather, for better or worse, a moment is not a curse, so live by this verse.<br />

I guess you could say that one person see the glass half empty and the other half full. Tell me what you think!<br />
<br />
The stars smiled arrogantly back at us that night as I gazed. I thought about how many thousands of years it takes for that light to reach us and I realized just how small we really are. It was daunting to say the least. I turned to look at him. His face was constructed so perfectly it was disgusting. I looked into his blue eyes and they reflected nothing back at me but lust. There was no love between us. I hated him and yet I continued on not saying a word, I mean, what's the point? May as well not die alone. Such weak insignificant people we are. Once we die, we will leave nothing. We'll just be corpses rotting in the ground like everyone else. Live every moment like your last? Yeah right, whats the point...<br />
<br />
The stars were shining luminously as we layed together on the hillside. The starlight combined with the moonlight created an effulgent glow as it bounced off the lake, lighting up the whole valley. The cool summer breeze tickled our nostrils and there was not a sound but the wind rustling the grass and the trees. I'm in love with this girl, I wonder if she loves me back. She turned to look at me and I looked back. Words could not describe the moment we shared together. This was all I ever wanted, to be entwined here, with her. I'm going to spend the rest of my life with her. My mother used to say "take nothing for granted, especially those you love", I know what she means now.uurathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14091171964727302767noreply@blogger.com26tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949266249818905647.post-25027684057292436802010-09-12T00:00:00.001-07:002010-09-12T00:00:38.177-07:00new stories soongunna write some new stories/poems, ill put em up soonuurathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14091171964727302767noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949266249818905647.post-60564267656261717692010-09-07T17:50:00.000-07:002010-09-07T17:58:16.067-07:00Epic Fail Much? this is a story i wrote about a year ago when my cousin was living with my parents and I. I think it's funny, tell me what you think!<br />
<br />
<br />
It's 2:11AM, and I feel the need to get some corn pops. Now if any of you have even been in my house you'll know that this is no easy task. Seeing as how the my parents bedroom, or as I like to call it; The Dragon's Den, is positioned directly beside the great white box of succulent goodness. Despite the danger I silently crept up the stairs with the taste of corn pops lingering on my tongue creating a nostalgia for what was early this morning. I open the cupboard and fumble through the cereal boxes until I find the one holding the golden pops. Its yellow exterior glistening in the moonlight shining in from the dining room window. Now with the key ingredient, I have one more task. It would be too noisy to "create" this spectacular blend of milk and golden pops upstairs, so I have to take all my ingredients downstairs before I can feast. As I'm collecting the utensils necessary for such a creation I hear Taylor climbing the steps behind me. He walks into the kitchen and whispers "sup" and I give him the cliche sup head nod and walk past him to grab the milk. I then walk back past him again to grab my pops, cause I gotta have my pops, to start the long journey back downstairs. Now this is where it gets weird; there must have been at least two feet of space for me to pass Taylor but for some reason, some godforsaken reason, this had to happen. The jug of milk I am carrying is fresh, so it weighs about a pound. Now if you get enough momentum behind something like that you could create a lot of noise, especially when its the middle of the night. I go to walk past Taylor but for the aforementioned godforsaken reason my arm holding the jug of milk bumps into his arm with enough force to make his hand holding a half full glass of water crash into the side of the cupboard and cut his hand before falling to the conglomerate tile to shatter.The glass shattering sounded like a nuclear explosion as it echoed throughout the house. We stood there looking at each other with a look of complete failure reflected off one anothers face. What seemed like several minutes was only a few seconds, and it only took a few seconds for the dragon to emerge from her den. She looked out from the door at us, myself half expecting her to torch us with great flames carried from her vicious mouth. But she was surprisingly chill about it, she asked what had broken, told us where the broom and dustpan were (which took us 20 minutes to find) and then went back to bed. We cleaned up the shattered remains of the fallen glass and then headed back downstairs laughing to ourselves about what had just happened. Oh and yeah i did end up enjoying those corn pops. There was something special about them, a kind of justification as to why i should be eating them.uurathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14091171964727302767noreply@blogger.com56tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949266249818905647.post-2783457401977108912010-09-06T21:47:00.000-07:002010-09-06T21:47:14.253-07:00That Statement Time for some poetry??? YUP!<br />
<br />
I need some time, to gather my thoughts and unwind,<br />
to sit back and watch it all unfold, new turns back to old, your hand's I no longer hold,<br />
and I'm cold, as I stutter that statement, time will only tell what I meant,<br />
by that statement.<br />
"Knock, knock" there's someone at your door,<br />
go and look and see that it's me, and drop down to the floor,<br />
you can't control your emotions, they elicit the notion, as grand as an ocean,<br />
that you should be forced to speak to me, but you hide,<br />
well... at least you tried, but I found you, and you put on that perfectly orchestrated fake smile,<br />
and all the while, you hated yourself for doing it, you couldn't prove to yourself you were losing it,<br />
you thought I would go away, disappear, but my dear, I'm still here,<br />
and you just couldn't bear, to tell me, but I knew all along.<br />
I could tell by your face, and the way that you would place,<br />
your hands upon me, there was nothing I couldn't see, but me,<br />
and that's the trouble I have, trying to decipher my thoughts,<br />
so I grab everyone I think I love and keep them close to me.<br />
I guess that's why I write... my emotions all unfold from this pen that I hold,<br />
and I'm cold, as I stutter that statement, I guess only time will tell, what I meant, by that statement.<br />

<br />
,.-Time-.,<br />
<br />
Can you feel that? The seconds falling away from under your feet as you read every word that I've written. Time... it's just a four letter word, but it encompasses all that is and all that ever will be; try to fathom that, I dare you. Think of the rivers of blood shed so that a king or an emperor could be the momentary master of a time so insignificant and distant now. Think of every moment -- first love, first child -- ever experienced by a human being... Time holds the future, instills the past, and shares the present. Time is life and life is perception. Whose to say what's wrong and what's right? Whose to say what will work and what will fade away. Whose to say what path to choose, a decision so trifling you must not lose. And whose to say that you made the wrong decision when your heart knows your right but your mind takes flight from these evil lies they incite. Your to say what's wrong and what's right! Your to say that "it'll work have some foresight!" and your to choose which path to walk; a decision so humbling cause you know you've chosen right. Life is six point six billion glistening diamonds, undiscovered, waiting to be shared. We shall not fear death for nothing ever ends. What we do in this life echoes in eternity and a diamond is indestructible. And if you don't know by now the diamonds represent our accomplishments and our mistakes, our legacy, our memory. It's a thing of beauty... but of course only if you perceive it to be. So live life to the fullest, I hope the minutes you spent reading this weren't wasted, you'll never get them back.uurathhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14091171964727302767noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949266249818905647.post-1964544556257638132010-08-31T22:55:00.000-07:002010-08-31T22:55:44.453-07:00Perfection(short story)something i wrote in 12th grade english, its just collecting dust so i though i'd share<br />
<br />
-.`Perfection`.-<br />
<br />
It's majestic beauty was stunning. The way the cliffs lashed out at the sky as if reaching to catch fallen souls. The cliff faces smiled back at anyone who might look as they seemed proud of the beauty they bestowed upon the landscape. Every tree in the lush forest that covered the slopes had it's own identity and hummed it's own songs depending upon it's mood; creating a consortium whose god given objective was perfection. The summit was positioned perfectly so that at night it bounced the moonlight over the valley as if watching out for it's children. It was perfect she thought.<br />
<br />
As she tried to keep that perfect portrait in her head, her attention was torn from the mountain to the two hills that sat grotesquely beside it. The ravaged landscapes strangled her eyes. Trees cut down and their identities changed to the new two bedroom, two bathroom townhouses down the road. The ground left barren with only roots that screamed for someone, anyone to help. But we do not care enough as our own materialistic wants stifle our true sight. We are the parasite, the curse... she thought.<br />
<br />
As she gazed she realized something: perfection existed before humans and so long as there are humans, the world will never be perfect. Anyone who seeks perfection is a fool and those who would be so arrogant to deem themselves a perfectionist are ignorant fools. With her mind settled and her hands steadied, she picked up her paintbrush and began to portray a glimpse of the world in the most simplistic of ways.<br />
