I wake up in the morning,
And I open my eyes,
Take a deep breath,
And get ready to survive.
Opening the blinds
Looking outside,
Daybreak over the horizon,
The sun has finally arrived.
Mingling with the faces,
Just coping with the grind,
Makes me wonder how
I keep from losing my mind.
Chatter from the left,
And chatter from the right,
It lasts all day,
And runs through the night.
Anticipation building,
Inside of my soul,
Perched atop a hill
Until it begins to roll.
Faster and faster,
Quickly gaining speed,
Makes me realize,
Sometimes I really need,
To throw on the breaks,
And take a step back,
Ease my mind,
Sit down and relax.
Take a deep breath in,
Enjoy the summer air,
Watch the birds fly by,
Soaring without a care.
People walking past,
Waving at one another,
Exchanging joyous smiles,
As a boy is hugged by his mother.
As I sit there looking at the scene,
Realizing my life is somewhat plain,
I think of all the things,
That I wish I could change.
I wish I was different,
Though wish as I may,
I know in the back of my mind,
It's just another ordinary day.

There is a time in all of our lives where we feel like we're strapped to a sinking boat because we are overwhelmed with what surrounds us. Maybe it's because of stress, maybe it's because of hardships, but in the end it is something that justifies existence despite its negative nature. It shows that we are real, and are capable of experiencing the various emotions that accompany the human condition.
Inexplicably, I have become the latest victim in this trend of negativity, becoming somewhat entranced by the horribleness that surrounds us all. My head is swirling with images of despair and an unrelenting sense of hopelessness, as my mind continues to lose its faith in humanity. Why must we fall prey to a monster created out of free will? It hardly makes sense, but it is the pitiful truth nonetheless.
This intangible beast is one that silently destroys from the inside, tearing away at our innards until all that remains is a hollow shell of a person. Leaving nothing but a wake of destruction, it numbs people from the most basic yet essential emotions of everyday live. Food loses its taste, colors lose their vividness, and even the ability to feel the carpeting beneath our feet is lost amidst the blankness of the sullen emotional state.
I absolutely abhor becoming another drone amidst the quiet chaos of loneliness, the most hypocritical condition of them all. The sensation of being alone is one shared amongst many people worldwide, yet this seeming commonality is not enough to unify the tireless wanderers of the empty wastes.
It is as such that I ask all who read, please help bring me back down to Earth, my head can no longer endure the silent melancholy of the clouds.

I am currently a graduate student studying education and will update my thoughts and experiences here periodically. Though the content of my blog may not always be the most intellectually stimulating, I believe that there is always a lesson to be learned from my posts, even if it's just a nonsensical story. I find poetry in ordinary life experiences and capture what memories I can through my camera's lens. At the end of the day I'm just another regular guy who needs to write his thoughts somewhere, and I hope you get some enjoyment out of my musings.
All of the best,
BK
