Carpe Diem

All signs point to yes, but he begs to differ
"They're the next senior class" but I don't listen.
He jogs, he shakes
Smooth in his quakes

He's the oldest young man that I've ever seen
The first one to make them mad in inspiration
He checks, directs
Looks back, corrects

He's worse than gasoline as he burns the satin crawled walls
Destroying the shell that everyone says this place caused
You can't fight power with cowards
So push out your chest and be louder

They can't hear you in the back.
It doesn't matter if the light's focused on you or not as long as you care.

The part in bold was my favorite rhyming scheme I've ever seen. But I really liked this blog, even though "Carpe Diem" scares me.

For me I got the message of try, even when no ones looking. and honestly its sort of an entry that makes me excited. Almost sort of empowering. Good writing as well :)
