This poem doesn’t rhyme
This song is out of tune
And this book won’t ever be published

Sometimes it doesn’t need to rhyme to be said
Sometimes it doesn’t need to be on key to be heard
And sometimes it doesn’t need to be read to be true

Maybe it doesn’t need to rhyme
Maybe it doesn’t need to be in magnificent harmony
And maybe it doesn’t need to be punctuated perfectly

Say the words as they are meant to be spoken
Listen to the music as it is
And read the words as they are written

My poem will still be written
My song will still be sung
And my story will still be told

In 1971 Nike Inc adopted the slogan “just do it.” I find this slogan to be a very interesting one. The slogan could mean a plethora of things depending on the meaning of the word “it” in the saying. Maybe, “it” is interpreted as a positive thing thus encouraging one do something positive. Perhaps, “it” is negative promoting various types of misconduct in society. Although “it” could be anything it’s interpreted to be, I believe “it” may just mean living life and doing what needs to be done.

As expressed in my previous entry I often struggle with lack of motivation. It’s not until I come to the realization that I need to “just do it.” I need to stop waiting for the world to change and start changing the world. I need to stop not pursuing my dreams and just start doing whatever “it” is that will help me obtain my goals.

I guess you can really learn a thing or two from capitalist America

I am what some would call a dreamer. This in the simplest form means, I have great ideas and expectations of what/who I want to be.People often laugh or just stare in utter silence when I tell them my dreams. This just makes me want to succeed more to try harder, run faster, and fly higher.

However, my wants often collide with lack of motivation. This usually comes in the form of an epic battle of good versus evil. I have to be honest here; this lack of motivation prevails in many of these instances. The fact of the matter is it’s so easy to want to do extraordinary things but it is much more difficult to live it out. As many would put it “talk is cheep.”

I have been trying to constantly challenge myself to get over my lack of motivation, this evil inside that tells me that I can proceed to be apathetic. I have to remind myself of my goals my hopes and my dreams.

My man John Ruben summed my feelings up perfectly in the song “Do Not”
lack of understanding lack of communication
lack of a desire for expanding education
lack of inspiration lack of innovation
the fact you can’t respect another mans creation
lack of motivation lack of restoration
the fact we lack unity and enjoy separation
lack of destination because you know what I feel
I feel that humans lack the ability to be real

The problem is not that I don’t have the talents or skills needed just that I don’t have the motivation to carry out my dreams. I can see them shining through the haze.
