A Dream Within A Dream

Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

Taking A Stand

I remember I had to take a stand on how rap is music. My best friends dad felt that rap isn't music and  I feel other wise. He feels like rap is just a bunch of words thrown together. I told him rap is just like singing without the melody. He argued otherwise but I pushed that fact forward that rap is music. You can almost look at rap as a sport. For example basketball and soccer both use a ball but the ball is used differently. That's how rap music is, it uses words just like singing but it is produced in a different way.

Words to Live By

What's the best advice that you have ever received or given?

I remember when I just beginning my freshman year at Central and my dad had to talk to me. So he pulled me to the side and gave the best advice that I will never forget. He told me that thing were about to change and my world isn't going to the same as before. What he said was no matter whenever or wherever always remain true to yourself because when nobody is there and I can't be you can always have yourself. Since then every day of my high school life I've brought this advice with me and it has helped me out through a lot of things.

B and Y of the A to Zen

B: Believe in yourself. Believing in yourself is one of the best attributes to have in life. When there's no one else there for you and you’re stuck, just believe in yourself. Every day when I walk out my house and head to school I always believe in myself that I can achieve anything I set my mind to. Also as a composer of my own music I believe in what I say in my lyrics. To me believing in yourself opens up so many doors in life. If you’re willing to try new things and you believe that you can do it then belief is all you need.

Y: You are unique nothing can replace you. In my eyes everyone is unique in their own way. Whether that is looks, talent, personality, etc. No two people are alike, because if they were then everyone would be the same. So being yourself has its own uniqueness and nothing can replace you.
