Why am I scared
to make amends?
To let go, move on,
stop holding on to this
in fear?
In the end, it matters little
what I held so dear.
When in death
it becomes
abundantly clear,
that the mental gymnastic escalations
of thoughts eternally bound
to internal consternation
that, in effect,
will reflect,
then reject
all modicums
of self-respect,
I’m not sure if my best times are ahead
or behind me,
the anxiety of not knowing
has blinded me
to the possibilities of what could come to be;
possibilities that continue to elude me.
I don’t know how my worst times
have shaped me, or shaped my mind.
To that I’m inevitably blind.
And though I seek out happier thoughts,
they’re all just memories,
of a life […]
Pounding thing,
Artificial thump they call music
Is a beast and a noise
An aural irritant
Blithely it grates at my being
Some are inspired to move
None have their mind provoked
It isn’t art
It’s just a commercial
It pushes no boundaries
Supplanting the mediocrity
With the mediocre
It disgusts […]

Life’s changes come
expected or not
Sometimes we’re prepared
Sometimes we’re in a state of blissful ignorance
Or wistfully ignoring
the inevitable path our actions have led us to.
I fear not the coming end.
The escape from complexity
to clarity
or nothingnesss
Either is the greener grass on the other side
There is this agony inside that uncontrols me,
usurps my will for rational,
usurps my temporal being.
It uncontrols me, without revealing itself
to that being uncontrolled;
it hides itself
from me
it is me
it’s obvious to those around me
but only the closest;
only the few who can be hurt
Sometimes I wish that a moment
just wouldn’t end
It’s the moment when I look at you
and understand
without question you’re my friend
it’s when we laugh together
and challenge to do more
and better things than ever
we had done before
It’s in that moment that I know
you’ll always […]
Few things in life are worth
Living for.
Far more things in life
Are worth
Dying for.
Sleep eludes me
Leaves me to my thoughts
An incessant barrage
Of menacing
Sleep- depriving thoughts
That won’t let this weary body rest
This weary mind
Won’t let me rest
And enter that peaceful state
In which nothing matters
Nothing perturbs
Nothing distracts but dreams
That take me […]
To know this earth
I walk this earth
I walk alone
in the company of every
living thing around me
I walk the earth
to know this earth
To know myself
I walk alone
in the company of every
living thing around me
I walk the earth
to know myself

You move like waves of emotion
undulating in endless adulation
of a world around and within you
that every breath is inspiration
every facet intertwined
with the existence once defined
in an ancestry you carry on
I’m touched by your emotion,
the stories you’re able to tell
the adoration you have for […]
