"Yes and.." - Will’s Lifestream

Post-It Note Poem #4
I wake up after a shitty night of sleep
Eyes peeling open, brain still foggy
My heart fills with dread
Reluctance is the theme of the day
Nay, for everyday I'm there
Not voluntary, but of necessity
It is suffering I must endure
And I realize this is where dreams go to die.

Post-it Note Poem #3
I wrote this while in the emergency room at St. Michael's hospital yesterday night, waiting with my mum to get treated after she sliced a bit of left pinky while chopping veggies.
We waited about three hours for Doctor to arrive and treat her.

I think I was in more agony than her.

Eternity.
Sterile and eerie
This dense foliage of pain surrounds,
all around.
Relief is waiting to rush out
the moment I step through those doors.

Post-It Note Poem #2
After I got home from connecting and chilling out with the Toronto Tech Community at the Refresh Summer Social last night,  I watched a video of Tony Robbins who interviewed Internet Marketing Moguls, Frank Kern and John Reese.

The video reminded me of what it takes to be an entrepreneur.  It made me think of the internal shift inside the minds of entrepreneurs.  That shift that makes to make possible breath life to dreams - doing something of your own volition, creating, and giving your 'gift' to the world.

I don't know how long this creative writing streak is going to last.  I only know that I'm really beginning to enjoy it.

Certainty
Deep within, smiling
Carefully. Consciously. Cultivated.
Visions so compelling
A choice so there's no choice
From fright to flight -
get ready to ignite :)

Post-It Note Poem #1

This is the first poem I ever wrote.

I don’t know how this came about, but after coming up with the title and sitting on it for a few hours, it just flowed from my brain to my pen and onto a post it note.

This was right after reading a few chapters of the book “Writing Down the Bones”

Anyway, Prof. Valliere and Shamini asked to share, so here is my first Post-It Note Poem :)

I’m a tortoise with a purpose.
Every single step I take
is carefully considered.
I never feel hindered when
someone zooms right by
I’m a tortoise with a purpose.
I try.  I try.  I try.
