Feeling inspired

Thoughts rushing in

Working a way through

Giving it a spin

A birth and a dawn

Together or alone

Creativity

Setting bars high

Always staying true

A perfect marriage

Of old and new

Enriching the world

Own stories are told

Legacy

Strong

She is strong. Not physically as she is of typical, beautiful feminine frame. She is mentally strong. Her mental muscles are flexed and display tremendous power. They are giving away a sense of raw determination and unquestionable persistence. They are not to be trifled with. 

She is strong. She has the strength far superior to many. She has the will and ambition capable of carrying her through the highs and lows, breaking down the walls and kicking down the doors. Her drive is second to none and even in times of doubt she is always finding a way out.

She is strong. Her sight is immaculate as she sees what she wants to achieve right in front of her. The path is laid before her eyes by her mind and she knows she has to follow it. She knows she is going to follow it. She wants to. It is a goal and whenever there is a goal it is always reached.

She is strong. Her imagination is able to create captivating images in her head and her talents are there to give birth to them in the form of art. She has found the power and bravery to be vulnerable to beauty and her observational abilites are formidable enough to present her with fresh ideas, granting her the ability to produce new, fascinating things.

She is strong. She is strong enough to enjoy what she is doing. Instead of various tasks becoming mundane she is always performing what seems to be a bath in a fountain of fun. Instead of boredom and mental fatigue she walks into pockets of inspiration that are filled with freshness and discovery. 

She is strong. She has the strength to hope and to put trust in others. She is capable of love and capable of being deeply loved. Her presence is magnetic and makes those around them aware of her. She may not realize it yet but she is important to some of the people and she will become important to many more.

She is strong. Those people will care for her always and will await her new creations and follow her on her path. Those creations will constantly improve as she develops herself and her skills. She has the support and belief of people who know she will succeed as she is simply bound to. 

She is strong. Many talents are wasted but hers will not be. Even when she takes a break and feels lack of confidence she collects herself and comes back stronger than ever. She becomes reinforced with creativity and resolve to carry on and express her strength and imagination through the fruits of her labor. 

She is strong. She has proven that many times before to everyone in her life. One day she will prove it to herself and she will realize why exactly everyone knew what she will become. She will understand the resonance she carries as success and acclaim quickly encompass her world. Her strength will be rewarded.

Hopeless

Have you ever seen a dying sun?

Eruptions of lava destroying it all

Eating away parts of the whole

Becoming less and less

Missing pieces flowing into space

Branding their trail for mere seconds

Leaving no mark whatsoever

Perishing into nothingness

Source of light now brighter than ever

Gathering any remnants of strength

Letting out a desperate bellow

Brightening and fading

Overwhelmed and weakened
Lead to the brink, gives in
Finally exploding into million pieces
Essence reduced to a shimmering sphere

Nobody watching
No one listening

Broken spirit slowly ceasing to fight

Lying down behind the plane

Covered in dark sheets

Dimmed by the universe

Forgotten

Not only gin but also juice!

Someone once told me

There was a lot of drama in the L.B.C

But when I arrived there

It was awfully quiet. 

Nobody was playing percussions.
I was lied to.

He also implied

It was difficult being him

Yet he somehow kept coming up with things

I was suspicious and I found him out.

Asked him if he was coming up

When he was walking downstairs.

The same person boasted

There was a party jumping

Because his mother wasn't home

And when I asked him which party

He looked confused.

They were Democrats, by the way. 

Someone once told me

He's got bitches in the living room

But when I went down to check it out

They were all dead.

It wasn't much of a living room.

I'd say it was a dead end.

He also added that
Said bitches were not leaving until 6 a.m.

Which was a gamble on his part

Because what if we picked up the bodies

And took them out at 5.45 a.m.?

He'd look a fool and a liar.

Then he told us to turn off the lights

And close the doors

After we turned off the lights

We tried to close the doors.

It turned out impossible

They had split up in '72.

Someone once told me

He had his mind on his money

And his money on his mind

I wasn't impressed.

It didn't bother me.

I didn't mind it, I've seen that money times.

The same person said

And I quote:

"You got to get yours and I got to get mine"

He didn't specify though

Whether it was iron or coal.

If the latter - he could join the coalition.

A man once admitted he was suffering

He had some sort of chronic pain

That made him choke

And it was serious

I told him he could cure it

With medical marijuana.

Someone once told me

His friend brought some female companions

To serve him without a cherry on top

Which puzzled me.

There was no cakes anyway.

And there was plenty of seats.

Last time I saw him

He was rolling down the streets

Smoking something resembling a cigarette

And sipping on gin and juice

To a great dissatisfaction

Of ethnic minorities.

Stone

"Help me with this stone. Can't move the damn thing."

"That's what happens when you don't exercise. No strength."

"Yeah, yeah. Come on. Don't just sit there."

"Told you to work out sometimes. That's what you get when you ain't prepared."

"Cut the crap and push from the side."

"Nah, dude. Keep tryin'. I'm gonna sit here and eat my ice cream."

"Yeah? Hope you catch a cold then. It's not even that warm and you're eating your goddamn ice cream."

"I'm cold resistant."

"What's that even mean?"

"I'm resistant to cold. I don't catch it. Even if I was wearing one of those baseball gloves stuffed full of magnets and you just threw a metallic cold at me I wouldn't have caught it."

"Good for you. Now come on, move your ass and help me here."

"Nah. Do it yourself. Where would we be if we didn't move the stones ourselves?"

"Is that a marijuana ice cream? What the hell are you on about?"

"Think about it."

"I would if I wasn't struggling with this goddamn piece of shit rock."

"Harsh. Rock has been very influential throughout the…"

"Very funny. I would fall off a chair if I wasn't standing here. Or I would have taken that chair and…"

"Very funny. Now try the thinking thing I just introduced you to. Where would we be if we didn't move the stones ourselves? Sure we would be better off just waiting for someone to move the stones for us, huh?"

"Wouldn't be against that."

"See, that's the problem."

"Yeah? What's the problem?"

"You wanna have people moving your stones. That's not gonna get you anywhere. You'll only get screwed over. If you want the stone moved to the place you want it to be, you gotta move it yourself."

"Ain't you the philosopher. How is that gonna help me now? I just want this stone moved to the side. So right now I'd take any help I can get. Just push it a bit and I'll roll it further by myself."

"So you just want me to help you start? Let's say I'll do it. We're gonna move it and then what?"

"Then I'll be good."

"Yeah but what if you come across another one of those? And I'm not there to help ya? You gonna struggle some more and hate everything. And you'll get nowhere."

"I'm gonna shoot it with a goddamn bazooka. Yeah, that's what I'll do. I'm just gonna carry around a bazooka and shoot stones."

"Hate to break it to you pal but it's illegal to carry around a bazooka. It's also very dumb and impractical."

"Goddamn government. They got us."

"It's not the government who got you, it's your empty head. Do you wanna be stuck here forever? I wouldn't. It's gonna get dark soon."

"Not really. That's why I asked you to..."

"Yeah, but I might not be here next time. You'll just sit in front of a stone and stare at it?"

"I don't know, man. What's the alternative to bazookas?"

"Work out. Beef up and break a sweat. Own up. It's not too late to start. You only need your hands and your head to move all sorts of crap wherever you wanna."

"Knew you'd say that. I was hoping for something easier."

"It's never easy if you wanna get something right. Been there, done that. Almost got crushed when I was moving my first stone but didn't give up. Was worth it, found a vein of gold. You'll find yours eventually but it ain't gonna wait there forever. Someone else might grab it if you slack around, dude."

"Your ice cream's melting. I'm gonna try again."
