So it begins
I'm tired of being nobody
All the names, the laughter
SHUT UP!
I have to be better, so good they can't mistreat me
That's the only way I'll ever... matter
Time, passes so quickly
When I look back yesterday seems far away
And the day before, forever ago.
Who I was, who I am now.
When'd it all change?
I don't know
Sometimes I feel like...
There's a gun to my head,
And if I don't move when that voice says "jump"...
I end up on the floor, full of hot lead
So it ends
I make you tremble, make you quiver, make you shake in the block
Now bow yo head and give respect because I cannot be stopped
Runners to your mark, Get set, Ready? Lets go.
On the gun blast, I take out, quick fast, like the Flash
Cross the line to look back, and see that, you placed last
Take an axe, to their skulls
Whack! Whack! Whack! till it dulls
Feeling better, no more bitter
Toss the heads out with the litter
Now that they, are all dead
Run away with the redhead
Now your problems are no more,
Washed away with blood and gore
How to explain, for one who doesn't know
Who hasn't experienced the way,
The life of a traceur, the path of silence
We move where others dare not go
Across rooftops and through dark alleys
Being fluid as water, always preserving the flow
Leaping, Climbing, Vaulting
All tools of the art used to craft the masterpiece
That one run, where everything fits
Each landing precise, every gap cleared
This is the goal of traceurs everywhere
To move swiftly and with purpose
No tricks, no flash, that is not the way
Glory is not to be found
Money is not to be made
However, one can find peace of mind
For every obstacle becomes conquerable
Do you remember the last time we kissed?
Went hand in hand? The gentle brush of the others fingertips?
Do you remember the last time I gave you a hug?
The loving comfort? My perfect wonder drug.
Do you remember our late nights under the stars?
The majesty of the evening? A moment we could call ours?
Do you remember when I first looked into your eyes?
Time seemed to stand still. I knew you were the ultimate prize.
Do you remember the first time we said "I love you"?
Our emotions running rampant? Never before had words been spoken more true.
He moves as the wind does
Gliding silently through the corridors
Not a step, not a breath, taken
His very presence,
A chill down my spine
Numbing the nerve and bone
Seen without being seen
Felt without being felt
Death, this way comes
The quiet hiss of the scythe
Delivered in full force
In the hands, of The Reaper
I am one man trying to conquer the Earth one step at a time
Each hill an enemy to be destroyed
Every flat expanse watches as I pass by
Barreling towards the endless horizon
I move with thought, rhythm, and passion
For that is the only way one should
Ride in metal boxes, caged like animals
The grey stone path leads to freedom
Swift footfalls carry me to far off places
In lands forgotten by all, left to ruin
To find solace in what was and shall be
Until I set out to a new destination
To stand still is to be chained
Oppression of one's soul in the cruelest form
Murder of everything that dwells deep inside
A death so many choose

"Gene, that is the worst battle plan I've ever heard. I'd slap one of my students for even proposing that idea."
"I'm certain it will work."
"I'm certain it won't."
"Don't you trust me?"
"No."
I can't blame her for that. Anyone that puts their trust in myself or my brother tends to end up dead or worse. Besides I hadn't fully convinced myself it would work but now is not the time for doubt. There are times when a person must fully commit themselves and ignore any source of doubt because that nagging voice will be their undoing. I was laying quite a bit on the line but I know my plan will work. I would never do anything t

"What is going on Gene!"
"If we survive the night I'll explain everything."
"What do you mean 'if we survive'? I'm not going to die here with you. I'm leaving."
"Do so and you'll find yourself in an unimaginable hell."
You are already here and there shall be no escape
That voice sent a searing cold down my spine. My courage left me for a moment. I staggered to the nearest tree to catch my breath. I could feel him coming. Slowly, but with purpose, he would enter through those trees and the fight for my life would ensue.
"Gene!" Morganne yelled running towards him. "What happened? Are you okay?"
"I'll be fine. Help me up." My legs

"He's late."
"He isn't late."
"Yes he is. One hour was all he needed. That's what he said anyway."
"I assure you he will be here. My brother is never late."
It was a cold winter night in Igrad. The kind of cold that freezes the air in your lungs. The sky was clear and the stars could be seen twinkling. The Crimson Moon hung ominously overhead dominating the sky. Legend has it that it will only rise on a night of bloodshed. Tonight legend it was more than mere legend. We are standing in a forest clearing. The trees so tall and so thick, that no sound escaped. The rustling leaves in the occasional breezes are the only sounds to b
A knocking came on the door as the clock struck eleven. He was on time like always. A woman of irresistible beauty got off the bed with a grace not of this world and headed toward the door. She was tall, blonde, and had a body that made woman envy her and men fall in love with her. In a sheer black dress she was the very definition of sex. Little did she know on the other side of the door was the only man her body could not seduce. She opened the door and let in the one man who saw threw her looks and her lies.
"Hello Cecilia," he said in a calm, confident voice. "You look lovely."
"Always the charmer, aren't you Vincent? Please come insi

How to explain, for one who doesn't know
Who hasn't experienced the way,
The life of a traceur, the path of silence
We move where others dare not go
Across rooftops and through dark alleys
Being fluid as water, always preserving the flow
Leaping, Climbing, Vaulting
All tools of the art used to craft the masterpiece
That one run, where everything fits
Each landing precise, every gap cleared
This is the goal of traceurs everywhere
To move swiftly and with purpose
No tricks, no flash, that is not the way
Glory is not to be found
Money is not to be made
However, one can find peace of mind
For every obstacle becomes conquerable

A parkour enthusiast, I fancy myself a free runner of sorts. We probably don't share the same philosophy but maybe we can Jam together some time anyways. I'm heading up to NC in a month, will be there stationed at Fort Bragg. Do you run with a group or just do it on your own? Either way, hit me up. My name is Jose.
