The Broken Man Woes

"Could you bare to see me cry?'

9
The Broken Man Woes
Ladarius Brown

I am a man made up of dreams and aspirations.

Searching for my own version of heaven as I develop some sort of infatuation.

Infatuated with the thought of being at peace with oneself.

To replenish myself of good vibes until I forgive myself.

For all the pain I've cost, and for my enemies entering my temple.

I wish to love who's in the mirror, but it's not that simple.

I am a man filled with broken promises and regret.

I don't ask for much, but for the ones I love to neglect or forget.

That I love them, and I hope they love me.

I refuse to let myself down because I yearn to be free.

I'm misunderstood as a man that is simply sad.

A crippling dagger in my back drains my energy that I once had.

Judge me if you wish, but I'm emotional and alone.

I yearn for someone to look beyond my flesh, and see that I can't hold on.

I am a man with depression and a heart of gold.

My soul is broken, but it shall never be sold.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
