Apartheid. A policy or system of segregation or discrimination on grounds of race. There are a lot of places and a lot of things going on in this world that we don't know about either cause we don't care cause or our news doesn't cover it. You would think that these types of things would be covered on the news when that's all that's on there is negative stuff about people dying, President Trump, or LGBT. I guess that's what everybody is worried about now a days is if someone next to you is a little different than you, who cares. This picture made me feel some type of way. This picture was taken in 1976 in South Africa when student began to protest for certain things they wanted in their school systems. This really hit me because my dad was born in 1955 and he tells me about all the thing they had to go through back in the day and i understand that but you never really know what it was really like unless you lived back there. One day i hope we can all come together and i feel like it can happen. If you look at it, everybody back in them days that we're on either side, racist or non racist are going to be gone soon and i feel like the millennials are more accepting and if we're willing, we can make a change.

Caged Bird

Wings Spread open
going wherever the wind takes me
but not too far.
usually we fly in flocks without second guessing
the mob mentality gets the best of us.
you ain't a man until you stop following ya friends
but in my case i'll never learn because i'm a bird.
With the illusion of flying where ever we want
us birds are still chained to the sky
flying by myself now but i still feel limited
Like a caged bird.

Dream Threads

I need really soft music playing when I fall asleep.
If not, my thoughts become louder than most sirens and it becomes impossible to fall asleep. Perfectly balanced is the name of the playlist that gets me through the night, filled with just the right amount of jazzy, melodic music. I don't know what i would do without music. Music is the one language that everyone speaks, it's universal. At night time, everything becomes a wonder for me, from the dogs barking in the distance, to the noise the wind makes entering my room. One night, there won't be any music to play, any melody to sing to, and that will be the night i won't get any sleep. And the night that i don't get any sleep, will the be the night of constant thinking,
It is my mind that keeps me up at night.

Question 3: Personally i don't like talking about bad dreams but it is good to talk about them. Just like any other thing that's bad, it needs to be brought up. If you had a bad dream and you never talk about it and try to forget it, its never going to go away. you can only bury demons for so long so for me id rather talk about them and get over them before they take over me. On the other hand, feeding into drama at school is a different story. If you keep feeding into drama then the flame just gets bigger and bigger and you don't want that.

Question 4: I feel like dreams tell a lot about us, even if we don't know it yet. Dreams are a series of thoughts, images, and sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep and it could show you things that you didn't know you were thinking about like a person you meet from years ago to the feeling you got when something first happen. One dream that mad me realize that what i wanted already was what i really wanted when i was on tour and performing with J. Cole and the Dreamville crew.

Question 5: Me personally i probably could live this way but not for five years. Five years is a long time not saying anything at all. Honestly I think I talk too less majority of the time, depends on the situation. That's one lesson my I've learned throughout my life is to talk less and listen more and i feel like you could learn a lot by doing that. By doing that you can see the way people think in certain situations, and just things that have effected them and hearing it from their point of view. By speaking more you can also grow as a person because communication is key to getting anything done.

Question 9: Well to start this answer off, one of my biggest distractions is my phone and sleep. If i want to do something and i am laying down, i wont do it till like an hour later because i'm so lazy when i'm in my lazy mode but when i'm up, i'm up. A couple things that gets me focused is music, fidget cube, and just moving around basically.

Dream marks on my pillow

As the darkness is catching up to the light, I am just winding down. I ash whatever needs to be ashed then I put my computer to sleep for the night. Tossing my shirt effortlessly on to the floor, setting up the place where my body regains it's energy, it's been one of those days. Setting the fan to the speed that's one less than two, so soothing as if it was the background music to a play. 

As the wind is steady kissing my face, i turn the t.v on and proceed to take my time. When its time for me to dream, i turn off the conversations the people are having on the t.v and open my blinds just enough to wear the moon can stare at me. 

With me staring back it feels like were having a conversation but no words have been spoken. At this time of night, Lost thoughts usually gets the best of me when its time to dream and wondering about what my next move will probably be the death of me but I still keep the conversation going with eyes feeling like magnets.

The moon wants me to tell him more about whats on my mind but the positive and negative have already meet, i'm almost there. As the last few lost thoughts exit my conscious, i'm asleep now. Not knowing what it's gonna be about but it's time to dream now.

Goodnight.

If I we're in charge of the world

If i were in charge of the world i'd cancel public school and have programs that kids could choose what they want to learn about and also reality t.v shows.

If I we're is charge of the world there'd be more abstract buildings and more art museum.

If I we're in charge of the world you wouldn't have to wait at stoplights. You wouldn't have fast food, You wouldn't to pay for gas, and you wouldn't have to pay rent.

If i we're in charge of the world, a piece of cake would be a vegetable. All people would have love for each other and a person who sometimes forgot to think and sometimes forgot to go to school would still be allowed to be in charge of the world.

salty dog

Sailing in the ocean like Dory
All the passengers on the cruise were having a blast
Looking across the ocean at
The endless horizon
Yet to see the sun move


Don't consider the feelings of one that's different than you
Old and feeling left out
Gone but never fogotten
