By Alex "Lex" Goyins
One day while riding a New York City subway, I encountered a man asking for change from the people he deemed to be more fortunate than himself. As time passed and no one really paid attention, the man grew angry and began to speak out in disgust. He told a story of how he hadn't not too long ago been In their shoes and frowned upon those who asked for handouts. I could see the pain in his eyes as he continued to explain that he was fired from his job and after months of searching, was running out of options to feed his family. My question is what happens when the terms they and them turn into we and us? In times like these, this man's story takes on a whole new meaning.

Moment of a Millionaire
By Theodore R. Goyins, III
When you find your passion that is when life begins
I could imagine this is a moment of nostalgia for some of the worlds greatest minds
A time of revelation and excitement
I believe it is at a moment in time where nothing else seems to be working and all you have left is passion
I have always wondered if my moment slipped away
This moment is precious and a small percentage of humans catch it at its inception
Time is something we will never be able to rewind
But only certain opportunities come to us once in a lifetime

Potential Meets Pinnacle
By Theodore R. Goyins, III
At what point does your potential turn into production?
Those on track to make life successful and accomplish great feats have always heard the classic line.
The line always reads as such, "You are someone with great potential".
That says to me that you could be but you're not.
What does that mean?
Why do I constantly have to be told I have great potential?
Great potential to be a noted businessman, potential to be a great husband, and potential to be just great.
A part of me wants to say save it but another part ask the question, why?
Why am I seen as someone with potential and not an executor of that potential. Furthermore, what have I not done to ensure that my potential has been fully exercised.
Well if you can tell by my words, I AM FED UP!

If I Never Told You
By Theodore R. Goyins, III
Special dedication to my sister on her 30th birthday 7/9/09. Love You Tiarra
Through all the strife and tragedy one thing remains.
In a silent place there is one thing that resounds in the air we breathe.
When everything around me is dark, there is one thing that shines through.
In the midst of a storm a calming breeze this very thing is.
It is every beat and lyric in a song that soothes the pain.
If I never told you I love you
If I never told you I care
Please do not deny me of telling you over and over again.
It is one of the greatest gifts ever given to man
This is one thing that no object can penetrate
I give it all to you
If I never told you I need you
If I never told you you mean the world to me
I don't want to regret you not knowing

Confessions of a Writer
By Theodore R. Goyins, III
The pen has its' own guilty pleasures
It has a way of doing its' own thing when it graces the pad.
Thoughts that have stayed on the authors mind and have sought heavily to be released
These are ideas that transcend beyond the capacity of man's imagination.
Something epic will be revealed through the thoughts that kept the author up at night
No acknowledgement of grammar or punctuation but only makes reference to that which they know.

God and Me
By Theodore R. Goyins, III
I know you are reading this and saying, "Why did he not capitalize the "m" in the word me of the title. It is simple, the God I serve and the life I live is bigger than me. I have come to terms that my life is not my own and it serves a greater purpose. I have and will continue to capitalize Him and see that He remains a constant in my everyday living. This past year has taught me a lot and reiterated the phrase "Depend on God and not man". I personally have caught myself in business situations where I have relied more heavily on man than who really has control. This past year I have had a few friends who have definitely kept me sane and optimistic of what the future holds. But when I am home, it is just God and me. Just little old me and a God who created the entire earth in 7 days. So how can man live up to this level of greatness?

Love Hangover
By Theodore R. Goyins, III
Woke up in a panic, discovering that you weren't there
The smell of you lingers
Wondering what events took place the night before
It seems as if this day has come over and over again
Each day the symptoms becoming more evident
I've tried and tried to take remedies to rid of the evidence
The evidence of what was once here and has continued now for some time
As if you were to give me something that keeps me yearning for more
Your touch and tenderness carries me into the next day
I am dizzy from the thought of you and constantly trying to rid of this feeling
But I am addicted to everything about you, so I get high from just your scent
