Juice Wrld and Why do I always add #thelight to my posts

written by Edward Storm

My name is Eddie Storm and I'm a writer. I'm a poet. I've been writing since age 13 and this is about the age when I started to become totally obsessed with music. Over the years I found myself obsessed with the huge variety of genres of music and many different particular artists. My first musical hero was Jim Morrison. He died in his addiction many years before I was born. I was 14 years old when Kurt Cobain died. I was 15 when Jerry Garcia died. Over the years many many more unbelievably talented musicians have died young as the result of substance abuse. One of the shining stars of the hip hop industry to recently pass away was the one and only Juice Wrld.

He was an amazing talent. I loved how multifaceted he was as a singer and how brave of a musician he was regarding the different genres he would blend together. I have never seen anyone free style like him. He wasn't afraid to collaborate with a wide range of musicians in the studio and on stage. His music to most people would be considered rap or hip hop but it clearly transcended those two genres. His lyrics were direct and to the point. Burn, burn, burn. He was a modern day soul singer and did not mind airing his darkest secrets and failures through his lyrics. He was a poet. He was also a kind hearted tolerant human being. He was a force for good. I get emotional thinking that the world lost such a great soul so young.

Bob Dylan is another poet. It turns out that just like Mr. Higgins, Mr. Zimmerman is also a remarkable human being n a force for good. I was a kid who started to appreciate his music at a very young age of 17. I saw him live for the first time at the age of 17 in Tinley Park, Illinois . Between the age of 17 and 40 I saw him live in concert almost 100 times on his never ending tour. Mr. Dylan has challenged himself time and time again to incorporate different types of sound into his studio albums and into his live performances. When he was very young he was considered a folk musician then he moved on to loud electric rock then country rock then gospel then bluesy gritty rock and blues then swinging country music then serious minded Grammy winning albums like Time out of Mind that discussed very heavy things like the loss of health, love, dreams, and much more. Today at the age of 80 he recently released one of the best albums of his career and has been touring ever since playing some of the best shows of his career.

When I listen to the music of Jarad Anthony Higgins I can hear the same sense of joy and courage that to marked Dylan as a performer and songwriter. Sadly we will never know what else the young man could have done with his career because of his problems with addiction. There are millions of us in America and around the world who suffer from the disease of addiction. Many of us never even have the chance to get any help or treatment. I am one of those people who suffers from the disease of addiction. Some of the most inspirational people in my life have also been some of the people who have had the most self-destructive habits. One of these was my mother, a person that I have spent 28 years of my life missing dearly. She seemed to handle situations with ease in life that would leave other people completely stumped and at a standstill. She did it with grace. I found this hilarious! Losing her a month before my sixteenth birthday was tough, but luckily she haf already instilled a pretty realistic “theory of everything” in me. I understood that life was not fair and it never would be but that everything was still ok. Accept it and get ahead of it as fast as possible. Have as much fun as you can doing it, see, life is simple. . She was not an artist of any kind by this I mean she was not a painter nor a photographer nor a poet nor a professional comedian, I guess I would say that instead the world was canvas and she herself was the art. She was the type of person that rarely shows up in photos but when they do they seem to be popping out of the photograph. Do you know these type of people? The way she moved the way she talked the way she inspired it was masterful, one of God's many many masterpieces. You are not perfect, and by a long shot my friend but I promise you are a masterpiece. If you haven’t realized that you are a masterpiece well that is ok, you just have to hit the books a little harder You know what my mother’s job was? She taught kids with severe behavioral disorders. The type of kids who will knife a teacher in the back at age 14. No one knifed my mother. She was their defender, the told them they had the right to be themselves and that those who didn’t want our attention were not worth it anyway. This takes love. She showed love, they gave it right back even harder. Love wins. Love can live forever but we do not live forever.

I am so sick of losing not only family but close friends to the disease of addiction. In 2022 I lost two friends both under the age of 30 to senseless overdoses. I can no longer count the number of people I have known over the past 10 years who have suffered a death in some way related to addiction.

One of my favorite songs by juice wrld is THE LIGHT. About a month ago I opened an Instagram account for the first time to start to promote my poems and flash fiction . Every little thing I write is for all of you like Juice Wrld who struggle through each day with addiction. Each day your memory keeps me brave and keeps me writing on. The light is with me, the light is with you, the light is millions of souls bright and don't you ever forget that. Keep the good fight for freedom burning through your sharing my people. When it's dark outside you're always the light.

-Eddie Storm

3 Tips 🏆for Overthinkers . 🟡🔵🟣 Tips: 1. Start a countdown 2. Don’t be overwhelmed. Take things one at a time 3. Do it sloppy Explanation 👌 “Start a countdown” 🟡🔵🟣 Get moving! Overthinking puts us in a daydreaming state. To get things done and to make our vision real, we have to get started! To hold yourself accountable give yourself a countdown to get started. Either a self-countdown or on a timer. 🟡🔵🟣 “Don’t be overwhelmed. Take things one at a time.” When we don’t have a to-do list or one with no designated time for task, it seems our tasks are flooding us. We can become anxious and begin giving attention to the unimportant task. We can become overwhelmed and decide not to do anything at all. Put your ideas on paper. Remember your overall goal. Input tasks that would help get to the overall goal, then sprinkle miscellaneous tasks where fit. 🟡🔵🟣 “Do it sloppy” Remember right before the teacher would collect the assignment and you hurried to scribbled your last thoughts on the paper? Legibility was no longer a concern and you got the job done! You did a sloppy. And you got credit for submitting the assignment. Showing up counts! Something is better than nothing! When you’re not feeling motivated, remember to, do it sloppy. . •About the artist 🤐💎 AntMuteMorgan is a spoken word artist and content creator from the Bronx, NY. He would overcome his depression stimulated by injustices inflicted upon him through his faith in God, creation, and spoken word. At the same time helping others obtain a positive mindset and speaking out against injustice.

**PUBLISHED**

Charlie Mills, the editor and founder of the "Ink Drinkers Magazine," recently apprised me via email that a place has been welcomed for my submitted poem, "The Tenses: Dining Room Montage," in said publication. My poem will appear in the Spring Equinox edition that is themed "Home" on March 21st. As always, I am honored and humbled whenever any words of mine can claim a new home to spread experience, learning and possibly inspiration to the masses, and I express congratulations to all of my fellow poets that were chosen as well and thanks to all who support me. If you are a poet who has a poem that may fit with the set theme of IDP, the following link could be for you.

Paradise

A world that breathes and sleeps

Deep within the depths of my soul

Yearning for power

Yearning for freedom

Infecting my essence with a desire of great fortune

Lost among the pages of the past.

Resistance is futile

It breathes life into me, this creature

It molds its character between my flesh and blood

My thoughts fall as prey to its consumption

My conscience falls to its knees before it

To this, my desire for paradise

On Pain

Its heavy

on my chest.

empty,

and engorged.

crushing me,

more and more.

my life is blessed,

my mind a mess.

there’s a forecast -

shadowed and grey,

every.single.day.

dysthymia, they say.

is it possible to “be okay” ?

can My climate change?

To the one in my dreams

When I’m around him

I lose my voice

When he touches me

I shiver, a little

The heat from his body

Warms me

His kisses…

Intoxicate me

His eyes,

Is where I lose myself

With the beating of his heart,

My skin vibrates

For him my heart burns with desire

Autumn - After I wrote this poem I logged onto my fb account. Lo and behold there was a beautiful soul of a young lady in the feed who shared her testimony of a brutal and hurtful experience she had with two McDonald employees. Regardless of how hurtful it was to her through her trial of battling cancer, she blessed them with kindness. This beautiful young lady knows the meaning of blessings. Brava to her🙏👏👏👏🌹🌹🌹 . If you have not read her testimony, be free to visit my timeline where I share her story. . . . . . #autumnvibes🍁 #poetryforsoul #poetryforsouls #poetryforlife #poetryofwisdom #poetryforall #poetrythatspeakstothesoul #poetryforchange #poetryforever #poetryforthepeople #poetryforchildren #poetswhowritedeep #poetswhowrite #writersofwisdom #writersof #writersofsoul #beingyoubeingtrue #blessings😇 #kindness #mcdonaldsemployeeproblems . . . @mcdonalds_headquarters (at The Poetry Society of New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3m0tM6FfDB/?igshid=f5yev7wqq0g5
