Unimaginable Potential

At the age of 14 what had you accomplished? I for one know that i had not built a fully functional fusion reactor like Taylor Wilson did when he was only 14 years old. Taylor, now at the age of 19, is constantly experimenting and trying new things to solve some of the biggest problems around the world. He has come up with a design that could possibly rebuild our entire energy supply system. He created a nuclear fission reactor that is more powerful and more efficient than the ones we use today. It is also smaller, safer and it uses up the dangerous materials that our current reactors leave behind.

Taylor Wilson is a perfect example of the potential each and everyone of us is born with. He proved that anyone can make a difference if they set their mind to it. Many people believe that they can't make a difference on their own; they need lots and lots of people to even make the slightest difference. Taylor, only 19 years old has come up with an invention that could solve our energy crisis. Of course nobody would think that's possible but he did and that's what mattered. If you believe in yourself that you can accomplish something then your potential is limitless.

 There are endless problems around the world that need to be fixed but instead we shield ourselves from them everyday. We should all follow in Taylor's foot steps and start applying our potential to these problems. We may not all be able to make a nuclear fission reactor but we can all make a difference in our own unique way and if we all do that then there is no obstacle that we cannot get over. It all starts with believing in ourselves and making that first step forward onto the road of success because we will never know what we are truly capable of until we try.

So stop wishing you were able to accomplish something and go accomplish it! We all need to start applying ourselves to the problems that need our help or else they will never be solved. Find your potential and go make a breakthrough in our world! 

The Fight Against Life - Slam Poem

The Fight Against Life

Suicide.

When life as we know it becomes too much to handle

and the burden of life out ways the burden of death.

When judged by others and pushed to your breaking point

each and every day of your life.

When you feel worthless, unloved and as if you have no purpose.

It’s what we turn to; suicide.

Gas, guns, knives, ropes, pills and anything else that kills.

Because pulling a trigger is easier

than waking up to every day to a life you hate.

It’s simple; just end it all with a split second decision

and along with your life goes all the pain and suffering.

But it doesn’t; your life might be over but the pain and suffering is left

with everyone who was close to you.

You choose to leave it all behind.

Your friends, family, future; your life.

Cast it all away because it can’t get better no matter how many times you have been told it will.

Well you’re wrong, it can.

But only you can make it better.

You can positively impact every person you ever meet.

But not if you aren’t alive to do so.

Lying in bed for hours on end crying your pain away might be easier than facing your problems

but when you are faced with a challenge you don’t give up.

You beat the challenge and become a stronger person.

I wish I could tell all of you right now that life is all uphill from here

but in reality it’s a never ending rollercoaster that will knock you on your ass

to the point you just want to stay down.

You don’t; you get up and fight through it because

suicide might end the chance of your life getting worse but it also ruins everyone else’s that loved you

and sure as hell ends the chances of it ever getting better.

Fight through this because you’re stronger than

anything life can throw at you.

Escape Yourself

Escape Yourself

Like prisoners trapped inside our own life.

Stuck in a place we don’t like, but yet here we lay.

No effort is made to escape.

No one does so why would I?

Should I just wait here, wait to die?

And why even try? I might fail.

The door is right there

But yet it seems out of reach, although I haven’t tried.

Maybe I could be the first.

Maybe I could dive in headfirst

It can’t get much worse.

But yet here I lay.

Life isn’t keeping you prisoner

You’re keeping yourself prisoner.

Everyone has the chance to be the best

But yet they hold back in fear of failure.

Take the chance, because success

Will only be achieved by those who try for it.
