Villain Arc
Have you ever prayed to God to give you the strength to overcome things that have made you angry?I have.I’ve prayed for patience.I’ve talked to God for hours about how I want to become a better person, almost as if he’d just snap his fingers and make that happen.I pray as if it would work…

Peace
I’m at a place right now in which I don’t want passion. That fades. I want peace. I don’t want to let things slide. I want accountability. I don’t want to hear me say that’s just the way I am. We can change whenever. Because I want many things right now, that list can go…

Common Sense
Common sense has been less common for me as of late. Probably just goes to prove how life is not all that complicated, our thoughts just make it seem that way. If I kept what made me happy, I’d likely make a conscious decision to keep chasing that happiness everyday. Yet, we’ve become so complicated.…

Delusion
Delusional. Being delusional was never my strong suit.As a kid, I wanted to be a lawyer; being original wasn’t a strength either. I never dreamt of making it to the NBA. I never thought I could play football at a professional level.There was a point I was scared of trying out for my high school…

Old Writing
Have you ever caught yourself reading back on old writing?Seeing your handwriting when you were younger may be different.I can see the carelessness. The recklessness. Even the innocence.I was a freight train ready to run through anything that came my way; I thought that was bravery.I was an astronaut prepared to go into space, not…

I’ve always been afraid of changing the month on my calendar.Not a fear of time passing by, or maybe it is; I’m not quite sure.I don’t know at this point, and I’m not even sure when this fear happened. I would instead save my nice shoes for a day when I know they won’t get…

That One Song
You’re the song I’ve been humming all day. I don’t know the lyrics, but you’re what’s on my mind when I get on both knees to pray. Before I wake up each morning, the only words I’m screaming at the top of my lungs is “stay.” I don’t want to get old, but thinking of…

What Made You Think I Was Strong Enough?
What Made You Think I Was Strong Enough? It wasn’t supposed to work out this way. I’ve spent all this time chasing down rainbows, all to be surprised that there wasn’t a pot of gold but a bunch of despair.The innocence of staying curious and not being scared to ask questions. You see, I had…

I Sleep Well At Night
I Sleep Well At Night It’s easy to fall asleep because we only work out in my dreams. It’s easy to fall asleep because you got me just chasing you while I’m awake, or so it seems. I close my eyes, and you’re there; it’s when they’re open that you’re not. I close my eyes,…

Magic
Magic I wonder when I stopped believing in the hocus pocus, Abra Kadabra stuff. Maybe it was when the “quarter behind my ear” trick stopped being the most impressive thing. Maybe it was when I felt the magic on your lips and the way your eyes could hypnotize me into anything. Imagine that. I was…
