Who you are = Who you want to be

In our current state, 

we are who we have become through choice, 

consequence, determination, and desire, 

be it onset or offset. 

In this regard we are always who we want to be. 

Therefore it is important to compare yourself only to yourself. 

Who was yesterday? 

Who am I today? 

Who am I tomorrow? 

Little

Was he ever one to do his homework?

He wasn't, at least not often.

He would scrape over the pages with his eyes

jumble up the symbols and signs

read over and over the instruction and lines

then droop low into a sulk and softly sigh,

"I don't want to do this."

However, inside his little head

ringing about in his vast little mind

a harsher sound could be heard

a scream, a shout, a curse, a plea

"I don't know how to do this! 

How am I supposed to do this?

Please, Please! Help me!"

Thinking Out Loud

"Oh shit...."

I said to myself

as light from cars passing outside

danced across the office wall,

"...she's turning 27 this year..."

a quick personal pause

"..that's so....fucked!"

laughter burst out of me.

Twenty-First Century

Life can be so scary

especially when you know you're gonna die

wake up and work for hours

at a place you hate, and you're left wondering why

Life can be so stupid

when all the tables turn against you

been building this machine for ages

now it wont work, no matter what you do

My friends are changing

they're folding in on themselves

My family is aging

My memories are fading away

And I just want to be

I just want to be

I just want to be a loose screw

There's no need to be

no need to be

no need to be attached to the rules

Life can be so boring

just nine to five, five and nine, and nine to five again

I don't sleep

No time to dream

I wake up in the middle of the night and scream

I don't eat

I don't drink

I don't think about much

I just look around for the next available do-hah

Is it a problem

Or is it a solution?

I got problems

I need a revolution
