Express Yourself

Be who you are and say how you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

My Life Is A Benchmark

I wrote this last year when I was working on several benchmarks.

My Life Is A Benchmark

My life is a benchmark
Wrapped in
the brightest bland paper
Llena de numeros-numbers, numbers, number
Expectations unfulfilled?
Questions unanswered?
Right and wrong 
Wrong and write
3.5B or C or D?
Get me?

My life is a benchmark
Turn the page
C'mon and see!
Multiple choice
from A, B, C and D
I prefer
must confess
Open-ended
Not fill in the blank--
Too much of a bore
Boring

My life is a benchmark
Turn the page
Proceed with caution
if you must
proceed at your own risk
Might discover
New ideas
Some writing
Deep in my soul
annotations
 keep  
fighting
For utter survival
overcoming
situations 
situations that's
been drumming
drumming
all in my head
Got me going
movin'
groovin' 
siempre delante
no pa' atras

My life is a benchmark
Print out the page
Read some poesia
Time to engage
with my words
phrases oraciones
flowing
Lost in the moment
Never knowing
when to stop
or keep going

A benchmark
my life is
a


benchmark
pathetic
need to break free
from this benchmark
benchmark
mentality
