Edge of Existence My will to strive is broken; hope, forevergone. My eyes, again, are darkened; bleak and distant lies the dawn. Ive fought the night through day and night and now my light will not shine on! Its not as though defeated - Ill never lie to ground! Its just that light and sound barrages dont seem worthily profound. My eyes shall split and stray from focus, while I fight to keep them straight. My pen shall flow so flawlessly, straining wrist for words I hate- words which shall never be truly read. My legs shall move a mindless slave; no board attached- my soul is snatched! No destination, for theyre led! Ive fought with every inch of heart; when defeated, Ive still risen. But now I lie with face to ground; its comfort my only vision. I ask, What am I fighting for? And Alas! mine answer is none. I used to live to skate, but now Ive never time. I wanted to write poetry, painting pictures in peoples minds! But now to school I owe a debt, copying endlessly lessons Ive already learned! I wish to live within my soul- no debt! no fret when void of absurd! But the physical just begs and screams and drags me to its world! I love to write and love to skate and to embrace the physical world! But the path Ive started treading - the path of the American Dream - leads my life to luxury! But my soul solitary and cold in a corner curled, begging to be seen; screaming to be heard; longing to be released! Why would I move my body onward if my mind and soul stay still? Why stride to study ethics, if once Im learning, my morals are ill? Im done! I wont tread through the path so brightly paved by wandering souls! I have my goals and mine own dreams and shall reach them a way of my own! I feel a mindless slave of other peoples mindless wishes in this world of mindless deeds performed; reward of mindless robot kisses. A deed is worth a dollar, when it should be worth a thousand words! A luxury means nothing, but in society, THATS ABSURD! Just because Im smart, I wont be a calculator to the machine. I hear, Schools the path to freedom, but I see its inner dream! In our pursuit of money, power and instant gratification alike, our imaginations are ever-so forgotten through the fight; society has transformed our minds to drones. Luxurys a lifetime goal but what about your soul, would you sell you heart and childish dreams for a seat on golden throne? All I want in life is for freedom to truly shine; for all to live the fantasies of the ever-silenced mind. I love to skate and love to shine my love to other souls to portray the fact that boards alive, and together we share a soul; to show that anger turns to passion, and passion turns to love- that both qualities together shall no matter rise above! I love to write and love to read the faces of those whom listen. And love to read the works of those whose words are sincere and serene; the words which numb the face and still the mind while chills are stricken. I love to talk all through their tears; the moment which all is seen! I wish all would see their own minds night -the sneering creatures of the void- so they can square up fist-to-fist, and beat them into joy! I wish for peace, I long for love, and for masks to be cast aside. I wish for all to be as doves and the scorpion surcease. --- RAR III ---
