Word Vomit

I feel like I am standing on the edge of a cubicle world 

And the timeline of civilization is running under my toes like a movie 

And when graduation comes into the frame 

It only reads "up to you"

"Up to you"

And I think that's what scares me most 

No matter how my life turns out it will always be only my fault and nobody else's

And that kind of pressure is enough to make the world turn round again 

The only thing about round

Is it never starts or stops 

Which means lots of time for decisions 

Lots of time for revisions 

Time is a one way deal 

And once you give it away you can never take it back

I'd say I spent my savings well on the past few years 

I'd say I made an investment 

I wouldn't trade the people 

The dances

The teachers

The classes 

Anything 

I wouldn't even trade it for a beard like Kyle and a mind like Anis 

Because sure writing is great 

And it's always there when you need it 

But the acting of the stories you tell are what really matter 

The adventures and monotonous Netflix marathons 

Whatever you do 

Do it well

And with a purpose 

Act deliberately 

---------------------


I hope at least one of you will miss me as bad as I'll miss all of you

I hope I helped at least one person

I hope 

Oh How Subjective The Wrists and Minds of Men

Existence, subject to time and reason

Never to influence another 

But through some off shot memory

So trivial is the exploration of its meaning and significances

But how sweet its indulgences

When one can free a mind from its dictates

Ensnarled by the minutes and passing moments

Can I not yet realize the time ahead?

Or does my feeble mind choose instead

To focus its talents on that which is present and certain

Even if only for a fleeting moment at a time

For each passing experience 

Is subjective to its ancestors 

And do not exist until the moment they do

And the moment after their fore bearers, cease to

If living by each transpiring twitch of the hand

Will comprise my life

I choose instead

To rid myself of awareness

And so too the leather chains on my wrists 

Adorned with circles of gold and silver

Only to prey on mans predispositions

To become enthralled 

In the trivial 

 

Reagan The Curtis

To be completely honest I have unwarranted prejudices against your blog
I just remember your posts and slams being happy
And as a teenage boy that wasn't ok
Where was the sadness, the anger, the resentment?
And now that I have more thoroughly assessed your blog I see its beauty
The magnificence in your continuous positive outlook is what makes this gold
Along with the stellar imagery you have in each poem, its amazing

Although I just spoke my adoration about the constant positivity I would like to see a bit of variation
I mean once you find a good style for yourself its gold, so don't stop
But it never hurts to experiment around
I would love to see your capabilities in other tones of writing

Your work has mad flow, its clean plumbing
Reading your pieces there weren't ever times when I thought
"ooooh that a rough verse" or "this needs revision"
It's easy to tell that you put a lot of work into your writing, and that's awesome

I love that you make this blog your own
I can tell the writing is you
It matches your persona and temperament so well, well done

The metaphors you conjure are on point
I love how some are a little far fetched too, just adds to the depth
My only critique would be to perhaps diversify your vocabulary a bit
I have always loved words and maybe you will too
Maybe you won't
Sometimes simplicity is just as powerful




Favorite lines: "Like a six minute silent phone call is everything and nothing all at once and nothing is worth everything so long as someone else will appreciate the static with you"

"Paperweights are supposed to get along with gravity
And physics never quite applied at 18"

"I forgot about the sun"
That one is my all time favorite


I hope some of this was useful
I hope none of this will be taken negatively or offensively because your blog is awesome
I love your background
Keep on writing for you and do your own style

It's what you do best
