Just A Childish Game By: Jay Klein

I've learned that life is a neverending game of questions, as soon as you discover the answer to one, a new one greets you with a grin for it knows the frustation and triumph that is to come. Living is a nonstop pursuit for knowlege, all you have to do is strap on for the ride. If this trip is not made the only door left to take is labled ignorance. Life is full of change, heartbreak, highs, lows, stress, anger, and every other emotion one can think off, but thats the price we pay, I firmly believe that every morning we wake up and put our chips on the table, waiting to see what pot we might bring in that evening as we close our eyes in exaustion. With everyday that goes by one may feel overwelmed, broken, and pressured; but nothing can compare to the reward that awaits. Joy, happiness, love, and many more riches of life make it all worth the ride. Day by day, year by year, I live my life just like any other 15 year old would; with the changing of the days I grow wiser and wiser in my knowlege of life.



The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny Summer arrived on the back of a mockingbird My love and my faith Thats what holds me down But they've got me on the outside looking in But I can't see it all With the weight of the world on my shoulder I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious. I could flood this world If this wasn't an airless astroid



A soundless day in the autumn of the year Yet Im still alive But Im barely breathing Im shaking in my boots Because the machines know I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a ...    And gazed down...    But with a shudder even more thrilling than the one before...     And the ghastly tree-stems, And the vacant and eye-like windows. The words always cut when they cliche But here's my knife cause i came for the buffet

When the bold branches Bid farewell to rainbow leaves - Welcome wool sweaters And life goes on   But yet it stands in front of me    Which brings me to the question Who the hell made you the boss? oh so thats who it is? Well once again i will press on for I love All brave men love For he only is brave Who has the affections to fight for In the daily battle of life

As the spring sun peeks from the clouds New hope is brought into the eyes of the wounded So please dont use this ink we call blood to start your fire this time Forgive me Im trying to find Im calling at night Is it worth the pain With no one to blame For all my insecurities How could I ever let this go? It seems like the more you squeeze The more it slips away For its that time of year again... When the feeling of liberty sits uneasily among most of us Speak for yourself or they will speak for you Noone will speak for me I am my own
 * MY CALLING**

So there is a day in the life Life is a funny word As years pass What is taught and who has learned? These lessons we must take away For its the parting of the sensory So when the king falls where do you stand? What choices lead you to what is made? But fortune has come our way for.. In life, unlike chess, the game continues after checkmate. So exist my fellow man Existence is Identity, Consciousness is Identification I've found myself
