Lord I had my Share of dark dayz/ feeling like I'm going crazy/cause as of lately I've been very lonely... Driving in the right lane going the speed limit of life/ As my peers catch road rage and pass by... Flick me off and scream Y.O.L.O. my guy/ Dear lord.. I'm in a dark day/ Even though the sun rays/ even if it's sunny without a cloud in the sky/ the tears that I cry bring severe thunderstorms; dark clouds form.. lord why is it that as of lately my forecast has been dark and gloomy? I'm traveling in life the speed you told me to travel.. I know that my walk with you ain't as easy as I thought of... Gave my life to you at the age of 17... Happy as I could be feeling free! Yet soon as I left church the enemy master plan started to wage/ as i fought the very temptation that you told me you'll save/ Lord I had my share of dark dayz/ feeling like all that's left is dark dayz/ I'm 23 feeling like I'm living my last dayz/ And I try not to speak it/ But death stay in my thoughts so long that i'm starting to believe it/ my dreams? will I achieve it? Or will I see it? grow into the most beautiful thing; and God made it/ Like part of me is happy and part of me feel sorrow... Take love for an example cupid's arrow shot me but the effects ended up traumatic I'm still lonely and still in the dark dayz that I know all too well of/ I'm sitting here praying for money knowing it's the root of all evil/ maybe cause I can pay for sin & and not salvation.. what profits a man who gain the whole world & lose his soul? dark dayz some more... Severe depression galore/ Lord just one time could you just pick me up from the floor? Take me out the dumps... Wrap me In your holy arms and caress me till the pain is gone/ For 23 years been having the same pain play the game as I scream; can't cry no more lost water works for sickle cell when I turned nine in this hell on earth/ feeling even worse/ the thing I fear the most is me dying and having no children that'll be crying.. At the funeral as they see Q smiling looking peaceful because living that life was a challenge/ Or having a wife that's going to miss me as I leave zion/ My worst fear Is dying.. Is it going to hurt? Is there even a heaven? Don't get me wrong I believe but help my unbelief as well. I just want to live as long as I can and when I die I pray the words I've formed with this pen live forever and It bless the next one who having dark dayz okay? Dear lord I had my share of dark dayz/

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
