It was a pleasure to know and a pain to see it go but yet the future shows more than a faint glow on the horizon as the moment continues rising into something bigger than what it was like a second becoming a day.

-

the crackle of a warm flame.

Our conversations are like embers blowing in the wind

-

You were just a wisp of a moment waiting to whisper your goodbye

-

It would take a million moments perched like a seat, high enough in the clouds for me to feel the warmth of the celestial edges.

-

a silence during roll call and a room with no words to say as they glance around and wonder which way you went. The day was spent looking but to no avail. So will you fail or will life reschedule?

-

my reading comprehension would reach heights
higher than the last day of college




I'd be more than inspiration,
I'd be a source of more knowledge

-

Twenty dollars in your pocket doesn't stretch like it used to

After twenty years old, most of your peers will just use you

Twenty times that you try will lead to failing half that

Twenty people in the audience, one chuckle, no laugh track

Twenty thousand dollars and I might just invest that

After twenty years old, I still won't use my best tracks

Twenty times that I try and I'm winning more than two thirds

Twenty people in the audience, slow clap, that's only two words

-

Because the end only begins when you quit halfway through

That's halfway you and halfway your doubts because the route never changed but your drive did

You survive it and push back

Even when your car stalls, you need to push that

-

the joy you enjoy when you employ your best principles

The morality of a moment is fleeting but the integrity of yourself is everlasting

-

I would go back and rewrite the pages that I ripped from the book

Overlooked by others, my mother, my brothers

But never forgotten by me

I've gotten to see my life in scribbles and crossed out words but I've never seen it in mint condition

Let me rewrite my life story and place it in a glass case because last place was never the place for me
