Boulevard of Broken Dreams

I walk alone. I walk alone. The sky is dim. The air is thick. The atmosphere is oppressive. I walk alone. I walk alone. A blank page. Unmet expectations. Disappointment. Not taking the initiative. Letting it slip away without even having reached. I walk alone. I walk alone. No one with me. No one in sight. Tears fall to the dust. I walk alone. I walk alone. A piano gathering dust. A blustery gust of wind whips my hair into my face, into my eyes. I cannot see clearly. I walk alone. I walk alone. An empty hand. An unkissed mouth. Pure but alone. Walking alone. The sun doesn't rise on a new beginning, but perpetually sets on what little there is. I walk alone. I walk alone. Houses crumble to the ground around me. Echoes resound all around, and fade into obscurity. Nothing can really penetrate this silence. Imobility seizes me. My mind grows numb. Thoughts are sluggish, fighting to the surface. Restrained. I cannot remember. I cannot recall. I cannot go on walking alone. Always alone.

I'm Thinking About You

I'm thinking about you. I'm thinking about you like stars think about the moon. Like I would walk through a typhoon... Just for you. I'm thinking about you like books think about words. Like poems think about rhymes. Like melodies think about notes. Like my melody's full of you. I'm thinking about you like pencils think about sketchbooks. Like paintbrushes think about canvass. Like your color stains my world. I'm thinking about you like summer thinks about popcicles. Like wind thinks about leaves. Like winter thinks about snow. Like you dictate my seasons. I'm thinking about you like sleepers think about dreams. Like you stir my dreams. I'm thinking about you like princesses think about princes. Like dragons think about gold. I'm thinking about you like coal thinks about diamonds. Like catapillars think about butterflies. Like tadpoles think about frogs. Like you inspire my transformation. I'm thinking about you like pirates think about treasure. Like dreamers think about adventure. Like explorers think about discoveries. Like you're my best discovery.

Direct Orders

You are under direct orders to rock the *cuss* out. Rock out like it's a full moon tonight. Rock out like the stars shine just for you. Rock out like you just got the courage to confess, and he likes you back. Rock out like you passed all of your classes. Rock out like she just took her first steps without your hands to hold her up. Rock out like your future is here, because it is. Rock out like you just turned 18 and the world suddenly became limitless. Rock out like you're barefooted and there's a whole forest ahead of you. Run. Rock out like you're with your friends. Rock out like you've just met the most amazing person. Rock out like you are the most amazing person that others meet. Rock out like a book you've been waiting for just came out on sale. Rock out like you get to sleep in 'till noon. Rock out like life is yours for the living.

Intro

This is a blog for my creative writing class. I intend to make full use of it and display my work and who I am through that work. I love writing, and I hope others will appreciate what I put here. The hardest step is the first. I may stumble, but eventually I will walk with a strong stride. Bear with me in these first steps.
