Law School Quartet

As my regular readers know I'm going to law school and I'm also trying to figure out these emotions as we go, so here's 4 new poems I pounded out this afternoon. This also includes my first attempt at slam style, it's not good... but it's a start.

I: Gray Matters

Yes
Knowledge is power
Context is key
Answers are Concrete
Hard and Gray
No

II: Jazz Law

Torts Nova, Civ Pro Stomp,
Contract Blues.
Cases serve only to comp,
which do you choose?

Sometimes it hinges on
what people don't say.
It looks like an easy response
Ipsa Res

So what is this thing
I signed up for here?
I guess it's like jazz
not usually clear.

So make sure your ideas
get proper gestation,
It's all about the journey,
hardly the destination.

III: Lawyer Haiku

I know I don't know,
I know that I can know that
I will know... not yet.

IV: Leap of Faith

You are good enough.
You are smart enough.
People like you,
You can be a success.

You leap from the cliff
into the great unknown,
flying with wings made of
self-assurance and hope.

But uncertainty and
self doubt begin to
melt these wings like
an Icarian Sun.

Here's hoping we made
our wings strong enough to get
to the other side.
