it seems as though everyone is the same, ordinary

everyone`s stuffed with the same tv shows, the same food and the same idea of going to college.


there in a box. they don`t think outside their freaking box! as though there`s nothing else as though they don`t have a brain as if there a scarecrow.

 

they don`t think about the universe

 

or the world around them

 

or even what dreams are made of

 

I do.

 

am i the only one with a brain?

 

I keeping hoping i`m not, as i get up from a fail once again. but every time i think this might be a person with a brain, they end up being yet another scarecrow or worse there stuffed with crazy.

 

its a treasure hunt.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

Oh, geez Luis. I'm so glad that I found this. :D This is absolutely, amazing and wonderful. I can connect to this so much. So, so much. Haha, yes! I"m not the only one who wonders these things and who has a brain. XD I know I never was alone, but I felt like I was. This poem, your creation? It's perfect and phenomenal. And it's so true. It's just perfect because that what it seems like people are: scarerows. :/ But at least, we aren't alone and we never truly are, and that there's still hope :) RThank you so much, for sharing this. You are a wonderful and talented writer and person. You have such a talent and greatness in you. Believe that, because it's true. Thank you so muc, again. :)
