Don’t Make Eye Contact
Nobody really cares that thousands of people starve in Atlanta every night. The simple thought of someone else’s well-being rarely crosses the average citizen’s mind. Apparently, thinking like that is far beneath our social standard. It’s impossible to imagine what being homeless is without first hand experience. Many of us are so privileged we don’t even question what homeless even is. The…

Another College Essay: Sports and Freedom of Speech
Within every human body there’s this element, a driving factor that our heart instills in our mind to push ourselves past the proverbial limit. That craving desire that lies in the core of every man is culturally called passion. That same passion flowed like the Tiber River through the fighting veins of gladiators in the Roman era and until the end of all days, will continue to run rapid. In our…
Hopeless Behavior
Listen to your parents; don’t fuck with stray dogs. Any viscous, man eating canine could rob you of your precious life if you’re not precautious. They’re all simply savages. Simply look at their ancestral background, it speaks for itself. Sure, there may be some that are relatively harmless, but why go out of your way to find out? Why take the chance? Therefore, if you see a dog behind you, run!…

Another College Essay: Life Untold
I’ve lived as a coward for as long as I can remember. In fact, I still am a coward. Surprisingly enough, I’ve never been regarded as a coward by someone other than myself. People often think I’m bold, inspiring, and even courageous. Little do those people know; I hide my tears behind the mask of a clown’s. Truthfully I wish I could be as brave and courageous as half of the people that give me…
On Bliss
There’s a special simplicity in solitude, An abyss of beauty only seen by the blind. My vision is pain; A false reality of the world. Ignorant as man to the ocean floor are seas, which seek shore, But does the ocean have eyes too? I find misery in sight; A bottomless regret for lack of explanation. The event horizon, Enclosing my world while I gaze, Awaiting the day it engulfs me. Treasuring my…
The Reason I Can’t Stop Smiling
The Reason I Can’t Stop Smiling
I have this disease – this dying desire to dive into my most coveted dreams. But, like the ominous ocean, I will never know what awaits me in the pit of my apparition – until I dive. This disease is incurable to man simply because it’s encoded in our database of DNA, yet over the past few generations, has become what Leonardo Rousseau calls, “Entrepreneurial.” There’s nothing better in life than…

SuperTramp: A Poem of Friendship
I was born alone. Two eyes to see what lies, One nose to assure what’s mine – Skin, That will never feel the scars on my heart. It was a sweet melody; The taste of freedom, Strumming Rousseau’s words which defined life. That day, Genesis molded me. I met a crossroad crafting beauty into meaning. Faith was now Friendship. Pleasure was now Purpose. Life was now Art – We fear what we don’t…
The Hippie
I discovered the true meaning of freedom last summer while studying the art of Leonardo Rousseau, the most brilliant man I’ve come to know. Until my encounter with him I always wondered, how does one express their individuality in a world where oppression is imminent? It was June 2013 when I decided that I was tired of being a tool; a pawn to the 1% who carelessly push over people like you…
The Moment We’ve All been Waiting for!
The Moment We’ve All been Waiting for!
We are activists! Ready for action, Yet act as pacifists when media distract us. Is it too much to ask for praise? It gets lonely on our side of the lens. Can you adapt to adaptations on stage when you live for today while acting in past tense? We are Heroes! Inspiring millions when a red light flashes, But who knows how long 15 minutes will last us? As relevant as the time passes. Is it…

The Art of Mainstream
There comes a time in so many young people’s lives when they witness, for their first time, an art that connects to more than just their desires and emotions. It’s an aesthetic so captivating that it has the ability, and often the purpose, to sway the minds of a culture to perceive the world they live in more generally than personally, more openly than introverted. The artists more adept in…
Cemented Cells
Today was a day of many where any time could be better than hoping, sulking, and sitting in cemented cells forever. Who laments for criminals, you, the reader of all my letters? Convict my heart if less is true in cemented cells forever. For now, we miss the warm embrace; the soft sleeveless hearts of sweaters I wear, as if to feel my place in cemented cells forever. We try to see from one’s own…
