We Are Family (Poem)

I wrote this for a conference last year at this organization called Diversity Awareness Initiative for students. I felt it was very appropriate for the occasion and is also appropriate for society today in general.

We Are Family

This is for my brothers, not the regular ode for one specific group

because we are all brothers, just making you realize what's under,

what's under this molded society that beats us like thunder, the

society that makes us all question and wonder but, the answer was

always in front of us.

This is for my Hispanics, my blacks, Asians, whites and all, the world

around us metaphorically making walls between each other so we

dissipate from our success. Although one can achieve great, with team

work we can change the world.

We are all brothers no tricks and tricksters won't forget about my

sisters we are all family. Something hard to grab, but let me open

your eyes make you realize what we all have accomplished.

For instance yes we finally did it, a black president already making a

difference but, just a baby step. We are the future climbing up that

ladder for a more successful world. Remember this. Life is a climb

but, the view is great determination takes us to that place but we

must have patience. Statements like these are just hypothesis and we

are the living experiment of this... The. How... What...why.. How is

what everyone asks ourselves but, forget all that stop and just think.

It is us... We together who will impact the world we live in... We who

make the future. Forget all the negative assumtpions, broken functions

searching for that meaning that something that will lead to

greatness...the key is determination and patience my sisters and

brothers, to uncover our paths that will open a world of great

possibilities. Discrimination is our downfall. Never was really

because of the color of our skin, but always was our insecurities

within. But why be insecure when you can feel at home with your

family. The people around you regardless of their backrounds or skin

color we need to grow again. Through history we have grown through

evolution but, along the way forgot the solution that made us. we

forgot that we came from the same home. We are family. When we work

together we can reach the highest climate whether if it's to go green,

sometimes we hit a bump in the road and categorize us makes us look so

mean, but enough of that we should ressurect our inspiration go team.

Our minds will do many great things but, it is our hearts that are our

crutches.... Our crutches that make us stronger from each mistake. We

simply stop and take a deep breathe. We are family my brothers and

sisters the world is ours just reach out through our chest oh yes this

is for my brothers and sisters. We are family and together we can

change the world.

An expressive moment

Boil my blood, rage running through my veins, so hard to contain this feeling wanting needing almost screaming yelling wishing I was dreaming to wake up from this nightmare. This height scares me because I'm falling so much. I only hope to open my eyes and realize that I'm standing strong, ready for the long mile that is ahead of me.

quote to live by

"Life is a spin, but I grin because at the end of the day I know I'm always going to win"

I feel that life can be truly difficult at times, but one who is persistent and goes through their obstacles with a smile on will inevitably win. One does not even have to technically win as well, just knowing that one puts that sincere effort forth, simply knowing you tried your best is the accomplishment on its own.

When emotions run wild (poem)

Lies and deceit defeats the strongest of powers…even love. What was or is, you did the bid now with live it. So ridiculous how one can assume there is a future for what was never truly there, scared to take the step forward because it’s so dark hoping for a flower that will bloom in the violet of hours but…wasn’t there. Just despair and cries, more lies that felt like a blow to the back, hacked my heart in to thousands of pieces, bleeding me dry, I only ask why…but I don’t even want to know…so…be gone and live your life then. I have many bruises and cuts, they will heal but your burden will live forever. Good luck.

Moments like these

It's moments like these that make me fall in love with dance. Moments where one can just express themselves in a comfortable environment filled with friends, more so a family that is connected by the community of hip hop. I love dance and being able to express myself through it completes me as a person.

Everyone has their moments...

Alone……cold…..broken….hollow…empty. Alone. This indescribable unbreakable feeling. Eyes swollen bloodshot red, flowing rivers, curled up without control. The tole it takes on you…like your lacking blood in your system…lacking life….lacking…happiness. The feeling of happiness is at the reach of your arms yet knowing you will never be able to obtain it.... never truly at least.

Life is about taking risks

Life is about taking risks. One will never know that the outcome of a choice or action will be without taking risk in life. Would one rather take the risk and take the results as an experience or avoid a possible negative result altogether? In my opinion, I take every opportunity that has the possibility of a positive outcome of course and hope for the best. One will never know if one could’ve succeeded in whatever goal the person could’ve taken. In my eyes, I feel I can never look back on the opportunities put forth in front of me and think what if? I feel more accomplished just making the decision to try my best and thrive for the best outcome. By making the decision to take the extra step, even if the outcome is a loss, I will at least gain the knowledge through experience of how to make a better decision the next time an opportunity of the same criterion is put before me. Life is about taking risk and one does not know how to truly stand up tall before one falls first.
