Cornerstone

A vow from the heart To forget a flutterNothing but another mutter To forget this cornerstone That I built out sand But you appearedDressed as a seerCame back to haunt This long lost song Stir the fire with tongsDon't make a knave out of me I don't know what else to beAs you came from…

Soccer in a Storm

Last night there was a thunderstorm. The air was brisk outside in the 50's and I couldn't wait to go out there and run around. What should I wear? A coat? Should I bring an umbrella? Pants? I don't want to get my shoes wet again. I threw on shorts and a light green t-shirt.…

"Polished Shoes"Take all of my sweat from this toilTake my intuition and fold it in your artistic handsDefragment…

Horizon

Play this game again. Make your point and reject everyone else. Say you have an open mind. But it's closed like a titanium volt. People never seem to find themselves. Chase after the shadows as the sun sinks below the horizon. It's true you know. Funny is the sun rises again and it's back to…

The garden's overgrown and thick with weeds. Teeming with wildlife--broken in by thieves. Slash and burn, slash and burn (repeat)…

Compassion Forum

Yesterday I went to the Compassion forum at my school, Messiah College. When I looked at the invitation, it never explicitly told me to dress up, so I decided to wear my Communist Party T-shirt, a buttoned short sleeved, and normal pants. First thing, I don't endorse the Communist Party whatsoever, but I find the…

What we can do

So I was watching a documentary on shootings in colleges and high school on CNN and I felt compelled to write this. It has been a year since the Virginia Tech shooting and almost 4 months ago another Korean student took his life, although there were clearly signs of depression. --- What drives people to insanity?…

I’m not, I was, and some characters

I'm not the kind of person everyone likes. I'm not the kind of person girls liked. I'm not the kind of person that smiles all the time. I'm the kind of person that smiles at little things. I was never a popular kid. I was the kid that hung around unpopular kids.I was never the…
