Set me boundaries if you wish,
but it won't do a thing.
My imagination is always going far,
past almost everything.
Borders, they won't hold me
back from what I think.
I have to many ideas in my head
and I'll have to spill my ink.
I might mess up the first few tries
of saying what I know.
But practice always make prefect,
and I think that's going to show.
I want to go past my borders,
beyond an empty sheet.
I want to cover it with writing
that makes you want to think.
So give me boundaries if you wish,
but of them I will break out.
I have too many ideas to hold back,
and with them I'm going to go all-out.

A Poetic Debate, Part 1- Clockwork
"Life," said the girl,
"is *not* simple clockwork.
It's much more than gears,
time passing by,
and birdies saying "cuckoo"
when the hour strikes.
It's more than that,
more complex, more full
of thought, choice, and
things that are more fluid
that clockwork.
Why can't you see that?"
"I beg to differ, my friend,"
said the boy,
folding his arms,
and intelligently
straightening his
glasses.
"Do *you* not see
life's beautiful routine
that is like clockwork?
Things of basic importance
are the same, we:
awake,
eat,
drink
(whether it be water or not),
strive,
and return to our sleep,
only awaking again to repeat the same
Listen.
Do you heard it?
Then let me
turn up the volume.
So you can hear the melody
of my silent song.
The cello that plays
for sadness, the trumpet
for an uplifting mood,
the drums, for a heart
beating,
(one of many hearts
around the world)
The electric guitar
for a burst of anger,
the piano
for straight-forward-ness,
(unless it's out tune,
when I struggle to say my feelings)
and I am always singing
the melody
or my silent song.
The song sings,
always sings, in my soul,
like I have ear-buds always
in my ears.
To bad you're
too busy blasting your own music,
the music of
denial,
to hear
my song,
my silent s
Stop looking around
for something that won't be there.
Stop turning in every direction
and stop moving your head.
The only thing you should do
is look at what you want,
look at who you want to be,
and focus.
Here's to the girl
Who can only eat cheese
with coffee.
To the the girl
Who dunks french fries
in Mint Milkshakes.
Here's to the girl
Who trips up the stairs
and flosses her hair.
Here's to the girl
Who can turn left and right
at the same time.
Here's to the girl
Who will paint the sky orange,
and the grass pink.
Here's to the girl
Who can love Simon
and hate Garfunkel.
Here's to the girl
Who can't stand roses
and prefers dark chocolate.
Here's to the girl
Who won't make you sit through 'The Notebook'
and will play Grand Theft Auto.
Here's to the girl
Who eats pizza for breakfast
and cereal for dinner.

Through cycles.
It triffles your imagination.
