Shelled Memories

Shuck your mind out

[leokjkim]

Art is the attempt to project ourselves into the emotions of others

[leokjkim]

I tame dragons

I dont slay them

[leokjkim]

LEAKING EGO

What if I'm a sleeping god

And all y'all are my peons

What if I'm a resting god

Waiting to rule for eons

What if I'm a lord awakening

A tyrant of the times

What if I'm the one becoming

Gaining power with my rhymes

[leokjkim]

One more day with ecstacy

Is all I ever want

One more day of epiphany

The one I've always got

One more day to wash away

The pain

The suffering

And the sorrow

One more day to feel whole again

And then I can face the morrow

[leokjkim]

I don't write to be heard

I write to remember

to feel again the ecstacy and suffering of past

The good moments

The bad moments

The no moments

I want to hold them all again

[leokjkim]

Whatever comes my way...I'll find my peace.

[leokjkim]

Once more into the fray

Into the last good fight I'll ever know

Live and die on this day

Live and die on this day

[leokjkim]

I'm at a fork in my road. Do I take the path of detachment and free myself from the suffering caused by desire? Or...do I take the path of connection, embrace my causes of suffering, go through the fire, and see what I become?

Am I a monk or warrior? ...the choice is mine.

[leokjkim]

I am chaos

I am order

I am life

I am death

I am me

[leokjkim]

When the universe blesses you, mind your ego.

[leokjkim]

What kind of cell am I in the organism that is planet earth?

What is my destiny and was it determined at the time of my birth?

If I'm a drop in an ocean does that mean I'm the ocean too?

If I'm a man with emotion does that mean I am the same as you?

[leokjkim]

...All creatures drink of joy

At nature's breast.

Just and unjust

Alike taste of her gift...

-Beethoven/Friedrich Schiller

[leokjkim]

[leokjkim]

Find a good balance between the two.

[leokjkim]

Even boredom is inspiring

This empty page is taunting me, laughing a guffaw

tormenting me with idleness, buzzing like a saw

all i want is inspiration, action for a cause

all i want is mad elation, putting horror to a pause
