"Americas future"

Let's punish the flock because of one bird because that's how the school system works now.  We have lost our individuality and become a group a label a number. You're either smart or average or stupid and there is no in between.  Kids get lost underneath these superficial labels that we have been taught to accept since birth.  No child left behind is a scam.  It's an excuse to pass the kid down so it's "not your problem" anymore.  And it works until one day the kids a freshman and has no idea what he's doing so he continues to take the same class over and over again while the school expects a different result.  So eventually the kid gets let into the real world and is totally unprepared and can't hold down a real job because he's not "smart".   It's funny how we judge a persons intelligence by how well they can follow directions.  If they don't listen they're stupid.  If they are obedient they're smart.  Society needs to realize that we are not dogs we are human beings that have a voice and can use it. 

How about you chew that up and spit it out.  You know what the after taste tastes like?  To me it tastes like unemployed, not prepared kids who are "Americas future".  

Let's pretend

Let's pretend for a moment that we're all adults and we make all the so called "right" decisions.  Let's pretend like we have the right to tell others what they can and cannot do.  Let's pretend that there is a scale for judging people.  Then all of your petty human decisions would be justified.  But wait none of the above is true so nothing you do is justified. But for that moment did it feel good to think that just for that moment you weren't in the wrong?  For that moment society was okay and not a complete mess.  Well guess what it's not.  There is no reason to treat others like they are below you or even above you.  You shouldn't judge anyone ever - it's not your job nor will it ever be.  You should be confident enough in your own skin that you don't care what others look like or what they do.  It's none of your business who they love or what they do or how they live their life.  At the end of the day all that matters is you.  Wake up and remember that every morning.  Just fit it into your very busy schedule and just tell yourself "my life is about me no one else but me." You'll get farther and feel better.

It's all I'm saying today,

Accepted

I don't like people telling me what to do.  I don't like being stuck between a rock and a hard place.  And I hate more than anything when people think bad about me.  I just want to be liked by all but still be myself.  I don't want a boyfriend right now or a bestfriend.  I don't anything to tie me down.  I just want to be who I am and to be accepted.  It's almost funny how everyone says be yourself but when you are they hate it and force you back into solitude.  I just want to stop hiding.  Stop Hiding from the snakes and the mosquitoes and the leeches.  I want to talk as much as I want without people getting annoyed with me.  I want to sing without people's ears bleeding. I want to wear bright colors and dresses everyday.  I'm so sick of being this mask.  I've become hateful and distraught.  It's consuming me.  And I'm just ever so tired of it all.

Poetry night

Alive

 

I drop.

I cry.

I break.

But I wouldn't do it over 

Any different.

Because 

It's these things 

That remind us that 

We are still alive.

Blue

I fear your words

For they are true

I have taken my life 

And painted it blue 

Time

It's sad 

Really 

Truly 

We are fools

We are puppets 

To a thing we call time

We spend all our lives 

Trying to control others 

When we have no control 

Over ourselves.

And time has control over all.

I hope you enjoy those I wrote them as a sad attempt to be like a poet.
