Red: A September Poem

A red wine colored blanket wraps around my tired body.

Chemistry bonds of red hydrogen and oxygen swirl inside my brain.

I have so many due dates and tasks I think I am insane,

Because I love this work I have, why else would I choose to do it?

The force inside me compels me to keep looking for it,

what is the "it" you say?

Why it's the purpose of these ways

To seek

To learn

To create a better day from yesterday

To live in the moment is to write poetry,

To swim in the ocean of knowledge is to be poetry,

The science I study, and the days that I hurry, are all apart of me escaping from worry,

because there is no worry in the world of an electron

negative, but never sad,

Positive, but never too far away from a neutron of balance,

and always moving, why,

maybe that is why I like to move!

From page to page in 500 page books

and move from street to street,

from person to person.

Trying to understand what could possibly be worse than

living a life of no curiosity-

No newton, no thomson to counter religeous illusions

the world becomes clear with science,

but it becomes fun with poetry,

the connection between these have always been woozy,

But I dream of a day where the connection is clear,

My poems have a melody that one is able to wear

On the crown of knowledge that they wear on their heads

Or alongside their crazy traditions and unmade beds,

Nothing has to make sense!

But everything is clear!

Poetry is a music a feeling written for the world to hear,

because less is more, and more is less,

the world can be confused with the tilt of my poetic hat,

I know where I go

I know what I know

And chemistry and poetry will find their place together

So beautifully matched like pen and the paper.

True knowledge combines the freedom of rhyme with an elemental rhythm,

True knowledge knows no limit to the neuro connection.

Poetry is chemistry and chemistry is poetry

The world makes sense now with their communion.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
