If I could open my arms to span the length of the isle of Manhattan

Soccer's getting to be pretty tough. But that's ok I guess. I've always liked to play soccer, it felt like I had something to remind me that I'm here, an adrenaline rush like no one ever knew. I've been reading the lyrics to some of the songs that I listen to everyday, and I haven't realized until now that I tend to gravitate towards songs with amazing lyrics. Like the type of lyrics that just the phrase itself stays in your head all day. I think Fall Out Boy is a great example in the phrase, "The best part of believe is the lie..." Funny thing is, I recently found out that that part of the song was sung by William Beckett of the Academy Is... it's kinda funny, I was a fan of his, before I even knew it. I would fall asleep to that part of the song on repeat, played over and over through my speakers. But in listening to these lyrics, I've found a new sort of inspiration, and more poems have been flooding my head all day. So here's one that I wrote just today:

Play the tape back

Because it's not quite as it seems

Look closer,

The hero bleeds in this scene

The braveheart, he flees everything

The rich boy loses absolutely anything.

Reality's just out of reach

In this sunset by the beach.

Take out those special effect

Don't give what they'd expect.

This is way too cliche

I already know what she's gonna say.

Stop the tape

I've had enough,

Please say "cut".

You want reality?

Then lose the camera

Viewing life through a set of lens

Tends to fade out the reality.

Focus in on the fake

Because that's all they want to see.

Fade to black

Don't look back

Play the soundtrack

Roll the credits

Stop while you're ahead.
