The Bad Influence

We’re a Bad Influence because we INCITE change through inclusion, thought and creativity. We imagine a world where people can think critically, express themselves, and thumb their nose at the status quo, together.

Lifetime of Blur

A skater by the beach. He is wearing a t-shirt, rolled up jeans and a pair of Vans
Generated using Microsoft Designer

Words of the wise
Doesn’t sound so nice
Crack through your skull
And strikes you a lifetime later

Once a skater wearing vans
Now a waiter high on substance
Where is that life that you got all figured out?
Just a bout?
Them kids cheered for you once
Now they pity you

Refill that coffee and pass a smile
Scared that they will figure out that you are trying to beguile?
Were you scared before?
When all this mattered a little bit more?
You and her, remember?
Now it is just you and a lifetime of blur!

I'm an analyst by job, and in my life too. Do I overanalyze sometimes? Totally! My writings are random.
