Poetry On Odyssey: The Apes Curiosity

There's only one truth in the violence

The roads that lead to one lead to all

There's only one truth in the silence

The road that leads to one leads to all

The inner voice rings with reason

It's ridiculed and is deceiving

The inner voice rings with guidance

It's filled with ridicule and deceit

There's only one choice to decide

But the answer isn't as easy to find

There's only one decision in mind

But the answers are not yours to find


There's a Golden Arch of flame apart

That echoes the answers of time

The smile that's worth a million smiles

Strikes the Apes curiosity

A Golden Archc1.staticflickr.com

A trillion days pass before the night

Another trillion more wait

A trillion days pass before the night

Another trillion more wait


In the flames the light is bright

Or does it only appear that way?

It's hard to see past the ring of fire

Within the embers a new dawn

But here on the surface where we lie

Our hands still drag across the dirt

The Golden Arch is only temporary

Like the air, it was never meant to stay

The Ape's curiosity bought baths of the pyre

And so the cycle dies each morn

But here on the surface where we lie

Our hands briefly dragged across the sky

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!
