[I'm trying my best to make actions out of my words, but I'm a firm believer that aint nothing real unless you write it, so naturally-I have to put it down somewhere.
"I dream too much, don't write enough, and I'm trying to find God everywhere."
Writing: my [a][n][t][i]-[d][r][u][g].
It's the most therapeutic and fulfilling, yet natural high I have yet to come across. Quitting is never an option, and I got that good shhhhhh'. Care to indulge?
I am a direct insult to what the fuck Satan invested time in. (C.P. Maze)
My first responsibility is to let my caged words take flight and not believe the hype that what I say don't make a difference. (Mayda del Valle)
...but with something as permanent as death looming like oxygen, passin' you up because God had your back again, how could you sit back and act like you know exactly where you'll go when you're dying? (Cierra Robinson)
I'm a conceited elitist that's borderline genius, who speaks dope wrote broken down English. (Tommy Bottoms)
If you speak about it, you should be about it, not just preach about it all day. Cause if you don't you run the risk of chasing some of the most beautiful people away, and it is never my intention to discourage you- rather encourage you to change your life today. (Lyfe Jennings)
The only man who behaves sensibly is my tailor. He takes me measurements anew each time he sees me. The rest go on with their old measurements and expect me to fit them. (George Bernard Shaw)

For readers who weren't with me last school year, if you see "INTRODUCING" in the title of a post, than you can be sure one of my poetry performances will be displayed. It's been a while since I was able to put that in the title. A bit hype? I am. I performed and recorded some things over the summer but either wasn't able to upload them from my camera or they were recorded on someone else's camera and they never uploaded them... to those people, thank you. You suck at life.
:) Just kidding
Anywho, this was written towards the end of the summer, and it's recorded sideways. As usual, I tried to correct that issue but my attempt was not met with success. Sorry. Check it out though. Give me feedback. I'd say my writing and performance has grown, but you may think otherwise. You're entitled-share your thoughts.
