Anatomy of a Girl
I always wondered what I'd look like on the inside if I was cut open... I think my soul would be black. Dark. Or maybe... empty. An endless void of every mistake I made in my life.
Open heart surgery
Everyone trying to purge me
Of the things that only I see
Like they want to be me
But what they need from me is but a broken dream
Lost in the sea of my painful memories
A time of innocence that cannot be redeemed
Like an offer seen on TV
My mind a meaningless eternity
Drowning in the riptides of insanity
My life written like a soap opera story
Life becoming my mental complexity
Lost the sight of my ability
And what I have foreseen
Is my existence becoming history
I am a complete mystery
A girl behind the scenes
Watching her dreams come true on a television screen
Yes, this is she
The girl of smoke and steam

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
