Greener Grass - I. But Be Certain


There was a time I once..
When I was able to believe real deep, trust so hard, understand so little but be certain -
That all we can do is choose precisely and hope for the best.

What is our actions beyond misinterpretated mistakes
speech is wearing short where actions lie sparingly outnumbered

Today I choose to say no to disregard
Say no to bittered envy,
No to usless chitter.chatter,
No to labeled truths found in us the blinded youth,
No to decorated diplomas,
No to cancer awareness,
No to greener grass in other areas,

Because I stopped believing when I forgot about what human truth was.
I stopped believing too long ago and I forgot to question
And it’s when I forgot about my own damn dreams..

It’s when I forgot
about being
human.

What a beautiful poem Alex. But I hope you never give up on your dreams. You are way too talented for that. Are you still going to Shendoah this fall?
