So Close, Yet So Far

My tears overtake who I’ve become.

My life is like a roller coaster

always up and down,

there are no stops or pauses.

Adrenaline rushes through my veins,

I’m silent throughout the day,

similar to a lion on the hunt for prey.

You used to be my world, the one I looked up to,

the one who never led me wrong.

Now look where we are.

I stand above your grave,

the flowers at my feet slowly soaked by my tears.

You are so close,

yet so far away from me.

Narrative Photograph

I chose this picture because it shows a real occasion and has raw emotions in it. There's a little girl who's watching a woman put on mascara, just how everyone when they're little watched people older than them do their daily routines, only knowing that you would be in the same position one day. I like this picture just because it represents reality and raw emotions.

Coded Language- Saul Williams

Life's all about communication.
Yet difficult for words.

A combination of conversation and sex.
Giving what is had becomes expansionary.

You're there, but you're not.
Feeling the waves of energy.

Using credibility for great return.

Capture a moment, allow emotions.
To create something bigger.

Feeling like a freak show.
Don't push it, let it flow.

Living is the greatest form of unity.
I am my natural medicine,

the soundtrack to life never has to be changed,
tapping into the essentials.

Accepting and trusting is the blood between
people who aren't related.

This is life.
