Fear in achievement (circa 2012)



From the latest reblog on tumblr
Your world gets wired on; delusions, fantasies, hopes and dreams

To be unique

From your latest English, humanities, philosophy or history class
Your world gets wired on; delusions, fantasies, hopes and dreams
inspired to conquer the world
To dream big
To make a change
To be unique

There is reconciliation in simplicity and serenity.
The pressure to not only be, but to make a profound change impacts us
Weighing on us like a ton of bricks
Expectations rising like skyscrapers
All it implements is fear;
Fear of failure
But most importantly fear of success
am I ready for that responsibility?
Its fear of losing everything you achieved

How many stories exist about a tragic hero already.
coming to the conclusion that u cannot reconcile with your inner self because you're worried about your wired world makes you demean yourself.
The delusions, fantasies, hopes and dreams have elevated to another means...
they've become reality
A reality where people delight in the ideology of setting you up to fail

You've become responsible for;
conquering the world,
Dreaming above the deviated norms,
Making a profound change that is fundamental at all corners of the globe,
and being unique as a prosperous person with ambitions that exceed any others
That's scary

Being young, not much matters but the sole expectations of you for when you're older

The Air

Something in the air isn’t right
Its suffocating me
Wrapping itself around my throat
And i cant breathe


I cant think straight
I cant see right
I can’t be me …

The sun is blocked off by the clouds
The atmosphere is white
The people are white


My white socks have holes in them
My white shoes are dirt filled, too small for my feet


My house in the bronx has no ceiling
Large roaches fly everywhere
Mahogany floor boards are lifted...
The way my soul has been lifted
  And my mahogany colored skin lingers in the streets


It lingers like an empty vessel
Soulness
Lacking inspiration, motivation
Lacking purpose


The atmosphere is white
The people in the east village are white
My roommate is white
My mother is white


I’m brown
Brown like the soil
Brown like worn out bricks
“Brown like the perception of who’s on welfare”


My school is for white folks
The education is for white folks
And i’ve been patted into the soil
Like a worm


And i feel as though a crow will soon come down to pick me up
Swallow me up
A black crow, so violent
A white dove, so gentle


I walk through the east village, my mind has been shaped by third avenue
Clean room, no roaches, no rats
An east village fantasy
I say fantasy because
in the Bronx my section 8 housing is falling apart
I wont visit my mother because I’m ashamed of where i’ve come out
Another empty vessel that has shaped me
Like a matryoshka doll

A mentality that is bricks,
Artificially forced to fit concretely
But my mentality yonders everywhere
The way these bricks will when the world comes crashing down


Climate change
We will be our own demise
