Hometown by bryanswhip, literature

Literature

Hometown

My hometown has changed, not my home, or a town, half the places were torn down, erased, replaced, reborn another way. No longer can I give you directions, or point out my favourite spot, memories are what I've got, a headful of humble reflections. Small parks are now condos and lots, and all the playgrounds seem bare, I guess the new kids don't care, or Mom is scared of all the gunshots. It's clear my hometown has gotten darker, Fear and crime, it happens all the time, thankfully now a new place is mine, on a map, "hometown" has a new marker. -B.A.D. December 16th, 2019

Rushed Cliches by bryanswhip, literature

Literature

Rushed Cliches

If time heals all wounds, why am I still sore? I've forgiven but not forgotten, yet somehow I need more? Keep calm and carry on, is all I seem to hear. But money is the root of all evil, and I'm losing myself in fear. The only certainty in life is death, why waste precious time to worry? If life has it's ups and downs, I don't want my time to be hurried. -B.A.D. December 16th, 2019

Just Breathe II by bryanswhip, literature

Literature

Just Breathe II

Breathe, just breathe. Everything will be alright. Breathe, just breathe. There's nothing to fear in sight. Breathe, just breathe. Feel positivity flow through. Breathe, just breathe. Negativity just won't do. Breathe, just breathe. Time to be positive. Breathe, just breathe. Life's got so much to give. Breathe, just breathe, and let, Serenity wash over you with persistent paws. Mind at ease, finally able to rest, don't stress. Persist, exist, you are blessed. Life's only test is one we've already won. As soon as you're born, breath, just breathe. -B.A.D. December 14, 2019

Just Breathe by bryanswhip, literature

Literature

Just Breathe

Breathe, just breathe. It may sound cliché, but it's better that way. Leave, just leave. You don't want to stay, bring back the best days. Yearn, just yearn. If you want it so bad, don't stop until you're there. Learn, just learn. You know what you're doing wrong, you're tired of feeling scared. Bend, just bend. Feel your muscles flex, ignore the pain in your chest. Send, just send. Exert your energy for the best, rhythms to help you rest. Relief, just relief. All I can expect from a couple of breaths, is to cope with an irrational fear of death. Breathe, just breathe. -B.A.D. December 5th, 2019

6 Red Lights by bryanswhip, literature

Literature

6 Red Lights

6 lights, red, see me at 90. Wish I had 5 hours of sleep. 4 pairs of ears heard me moan. Time to take my 3 pills. They've failed me 2 times. But it only takes 1. Once would have been nice. No more crying twice a day. A chance at triple daily meals. Quadruple my time of sleep. I've got a quintuple of friends, worried by the sextuple red lights. Six intersections of danger. Overloading my five senses. Four wheels grip the wet road. Three times the speed limit. At least two lights were green, while I hoped for one chance. -B.A.D. November 3rd, 2019

Meditacion Linea de la Playa by bryanswhip, literature

Literature

Meditacion Linea de la Playa

Descending moonlight shimmers over the bay. The waves of the tide breathe along with me. In, then out, in, then out. They sink into the sand, as I sink deeper in their motions. In, then out, in, then out. Time slows, the sound of waves extends out into dull rhythms on repeat, naturally undisturbed. Sound waves beckon to me, wanting me to listen to their roaring cries, and feel their vibrations past my skull & eyes. To be kind of intertwined, one among one drifting along in time. The sound waves of the wave’s sound has made me wave out and around the conscious sound. It’s compelling how just a sound can tune you in with the grou

New times.

0 min read

Hello watchers how are you doing? I know I don't update much, but doesn't mean I forgot about any of you. Anyways my life has been great since I last wrote a journal on here back on New Years. I have graduated high school, worked full time another summer, learned some new songs, attempted recording songs, hacky sacked in many cool locations, explored new hiking trails, played Hockey, Soccer, Chess and Pass with a baseball/football, and started College today for my first year. I am currently taking Psychology, Philosophy and Student Success. Also seen my fair share of concerts so far this year. The Black Keys, Roger Waters, Iron Maiden, He

Happy New Years

0 min read

Happy New Years to all my watchers out there I hope you all had a great 2011. And I wish for us all to enjoy 2012. Anybody have any resolutions? Mine is to write 10 reviews on albums that came out last year to prove that good music is still around. Will probably be posting it in another journal, because I don't really know where else to put it. -.-

Get ready for some bad art

0 min read

I have never attempted to draw anything in my life before and my art class is forcing me to draw something each week, so every week I will be posting the drawings to my gallery to see if I improve any over the semester. Odds are you don't look at my stuff anyways so just resume your normal art browsing ways.

Keep doing what you do Scott! All of your art is so fun to look at and there's always a thought provoking meaning. You've pretty much got a fan for life.
