This Summer is Mine

This summer, I will be reborn.
I will rise from the ashes that
have been these past few years.

I will live
life more fully than it
has ever been lived.

I will take every chance
I get, because I have nothing
left to lose.

This summer, I will do it,
because no one else is
going to do it for me.

I will take advantage of being
young and able
to do so many extraordinary things.

I will savor every minute
of the adventures life
has to offer me.

This summer, I will try to forget.
I won't think about 
what I had and don't have
anymore.

I won't relive the moments 
that made me so happy now
I cry.

I won't think 
too hard about where I have
been and the people I knew. 

This summer is mine
if I live it,
and it could easily
be yours too.

  • Your Game

    I've been here before; I know your ways.
    You think you have me in a bind? I wouldn't say the same.
    It comes so easy, moving so fast.
    But you don't suspect, that I do have a past.
    I'll play your little game. It's always the same.
  • This Encyclopedia


    Alexa what time is it? 
    Hey Siri, what's the weather for today?
    A calculator; a dictionary; an encyclopedia,
    ready at your convenience.
    But nobody is reading dictionaries for fun. 
  • He had a Dream

    He had a dream
    But not one of soaring skies and indigo seas.
    A man who believed
    That we could all live happily in harmony.
    He is long gone
    But his dream lives on.
    Come sisters and brothers
    Together we will stand
