Good company is as great as the Saharan Horizons.
I go Ape when visitors visit my world.
We got connections like Verizon.
Give me a call if you're ever alone.
I'll be there because There's No Mountain High Enough.
I'm here for you because even when life is down in the drain,
You Got Me.
I'm done...this one actually isn't good...But I'm sure you get the idea.

Words.
Live. Live...LIVE
Heaven. Heaven...HEAVEN
Words make LIVE feel like HEAVEN
Heaven feels Live, because this is Real Time
I don't stop life to expect the unexpected
Pause the game so I can win without Reset
Retell, the story because I'll be gloried
Superman of Future battles
I live with no grammar
Because English isn't my first language
Human hearing is my vibrations in the mentals
The voice that's heard when others are too scared to tell the truth
The only reason I speak for you
Is because someone spoke for me
I was unspoken because I didn't know how to talk
Now I have voice, and a meaning
Give me a pen and set a meeting with the World
I need to announce something
I POET

Great Moments
Life. Friends. Laughter.
Life is so great when you actually begin living it.
Do you ever wonder why you weren't alive sooner to experience more?
So then when you'd grow up you'd be a genious.
You could buy yourself happiness.
The happiness that came with the American Dream.
The American Pie.
Where's my piece?
No, really, where is my Peace?
I haven't even been served once.
So my plate stays half full and my cup stays half empty.
I'm thirsty, trying to quench my thirst for success.
I drink myself to sleep because that means midnight dreaming.
I'm dreaming that mid nights I won't have to wake up from nightmares.
They're night scares because even during the day I'm scared.
Afraid that one day I'll die trying to live.
And that's the day you can give all my bones to those who lack a backbone because society has outweighed the options into Recession.
That's the day you can break my heart into the worlds lost passions and give them a reason to LOVE life.
That's the day you can donate my blood to the RED CROSS that's crossed by red tracks that marked the body.
Mark my spot, leave the chalk, there's another one that died tonight.
Don't let that stop me from telling all my Friends I love them.
I'm not scared to leave because I know I've met my angels.
And they, my friends, somehow are able to get to my good side.
And I hate them for bringing the laughter out that I can be.
So I laugh on days when only great moments like a good conversation with two good people about two good opinions can share one good friendship.
I never forget all three, because I need Life to give me Friends that bring Laughter home.

Mom
I’m missing something, will you fill it?
Its here in my heart, can you see this hole here?
I have a hole somewhere in my heart
It’s a hole that can never be filled
In there you’ll find passages that lead you to my deepest secrets
My deepest secrets are napping, only this time its forever
They’re caved in and I’m stuck not sharing my tunnels, or a map of my tunnels for that matter
You see, I’ve never wandered deep into my tunnels because; well, because I’m scared
Terrified, afraid that something is lingering, waiting to haunt me
Maybe I know
No I do know, but I wish I didn’t
Here, I’ll fill you in
I lost a piece of this heart way back when…
Way back when she left me
She left me for God and I don’t know if she even said her farewells
But she was fare and well
The fairest of them all if you ask me
And she is the well in which I sink into every time I think of her
Yea, I wish her well often
Wondering how the coffin fits her
Or if it even was her preferred choice
I’m sure she didn’t even get to decide
She didn’t get to pick her visitors
She didn’t even get to pick her last breath
She didn’t get to pick her flowers
Now the flowers loom
They don’t bloom, they just loom
And when sunshine says, “hi”, they just hide
Just like me,
I hide
I hide away from the truth because I don’t want to accept it
Yes, I see her often
She’s my angel, on my right shoulder
And on my left shoulder I have another one
Another angel I can’t picture the face, so I hold on to the pixels so they don’t shrivel up and die
She never dies, not even in my memories
My mother lives somewhere that’s not my heart
Not because I don’t love her
But because my first word was Luna
The moon; the size of my eyes when they water
The moon has a face I’ve seen too many times
Sometimes I wonder if it’s her looking down
I’m sure she sends me stars to guide me in the right direction
But there’s this affection that’s affecting me
I can’t live life without mom, mother, mami
Not because I need her to sign my permission slips
But because I’m missing something here, here in my heart
I know it’s her past, and my history that’s missing
And I don’t mind asking Pops for answers
But there’s a difference between other fathers and mine
My father is a father, to other kids but myself
I’m just a son, someone’s son
A mother’s son, a father’s son
Who’s going to adopt me from this solemn space I call Home?
I go back to my now, to see how things became
I became a man through lessons learned
The blessings burn because bias brothers bother me
Sisters just steal serenity soon as someone scours my house
And that’s when I find father’s fingerprints falling furiously
One by one, each his own, but teach his grown they never do
So I never learn about Mother
I never learn about Maria
I never learn about “mama”
Because this heart is missing something
Something
Something…
Can you fill it?
Or do I have to go to mom’s grave and pray that she rises from the dead only to hold me one more time and tell me something like,
“Son. You are a grown man now. Yes, times are hard but look at me. I’m playing cards with Death and who knows what I’ll bet on next. Let’s just say that if I play these cards right, I might come back home on time to make dinner. I remember when you couldn’t even eat much. It seems like all that nourishment from foods never fulfilled you like the arms that carried you. I also remember your birth. And I remember the day you forgot your birthday. I was there…I’ve been there the whole time. Now babe, do me a favor. Live by your words. You have the world on your shoulders. They’re waiting for you to fall, but you can be my summer. Shine, shine like there’s no tomorrow…”
Its here in my heart, can you see this hole here?
I have a hole somewhere in my heart
It’s a hole that can never be filled
In there you’ll find passages that lead you to my deepest secrets
My deepest secrets are napping, only this time its forever

Silent Words.
To write is to fall asleep.
I speak of dreams only because that is how I see.
I close my eyes so I can see.
Now you wonder how the blind can see.
They hear what you can't.
Isn't that amazing, no need for grace.
I have silence for that.
Listen.
Do you ever wonder how you miss so much in life?
I do...sometimes.
Only when I lose my mind over those little moments.
And that's when they leave.
Once I've gotten my ink in my veins to write Great Moments
inside my insides so insight is lost even in sight.
I'm lost, lost to the world and the way it turns on its axis.
My galaxy is spinning in the wrong direction.
Don't you know all those stars are my thoughts?
I speak of dreams only because that is how I see.
I close my eyes so I can see.

Paper Plate Award
JOY
I want to first apologize for taking so long. My excuse is that I couldn't find the right words to put on this award. I think you are an amazing student. Not only are you smart but you're a silly, helpful, serene being. You are definitely a joy to have around. It has been an honor to serve you and help you with everything. You have brought so much to the team. I see the way you interact with your peers and you have shown great leadership skills. You lead by example and I think that is the best way to lead. Even E has something to say. She sends best wishes and says,
"Even from afar, you take over hearts. Your innocent spirit makes loving you so easy." I couldn't have said it better myself. I think you are a wonderful teammate, student and most of all a wonderful human being. You have traits I wish to conquer. You have a smile of a thousand suns, with each tooth shining a ray of sunshine. So keep on shining. You'll never burn out like the stars, but you'll definitely be a STAR! I can't wait to see you at the top where you belong. When I do, don't forget me. I might need to borrow some money. In reality though, if you ever, ever, EVER NEED ANYTHING please let me know. I mean let us know. We will be glad to be of assistance. Don't hesitate to ask. All I ask of you is to keep being yourself. You are indeed my joy of the year. I wish you the best in life, in money, in wishes, in love, in happiness, and, most of all, in friendships. I wish I could stay here at least another year but unfortunately my life is waiting in Detroit. I will for sure come back to visit and find my lost friend, Jai. If I can't find you, shame on me. I'm sure I'll need to look in the Best Elementary School next year. I'll be back at Dunbar to visit you and all the rest. Stay safe and always smile. I miss you already and I, we love you.
Enjoy.
Life. Love. Live.
