is a patient undertaking

to find my true calling

my true path

nevermind the


pain

confusion, eratic-ness, the out of control powerlessness of the day

the endless nights

the desperate moments ravaging for something

for what?

patience, and maybe i'll see.

Learning...



To speak to trees
Is a patient undertaking

They speak so slowly

And my thoughts fly by

So quickly

Learning to speak to the wind
Is so much easier

Every scream torn away

To be dissected

By the curve of the earth

I tried once
To talk to the river

It smothered me

And sometimes selfishness is needed!

I've spent my whole life trying to make the rest of the world happy, instead of learning to be happy with myself.
I rip and tear, shred myself into pieces for the sake of others.
Bloody and battered I crawl through life and never give myself a break.
Sometimes being selfish is the most selfless thing you can do for yourself.

*ty Cesar *


I must take care of myself...

Because I am
The carer 

And sometimes
Selfishness
Rears its head
Telling me I
Must be first
A
Trophy
Of gilded
Faithlessness

24 karat

Reflecting

The needs of others

Only worth

The gold

Painted on my edges

My care
Is a thrift store trinket
Waiting for a home

*swamp, i dig that!



That you are not willing to give

That you are not willing to give,
all that i needed for you to give,
makes me enraged.

Enraged that I must take care of it myself
Fuckin shit

I know that this isn't going to work out.

Were still...



Placid as lake water Mid-July 
When the air pulls your limbs 
toward the ground
And every movement
Is effort
That you are not willing to give

Your skin feels the umber 
Of sunlight
And even the insects are silent

things were still tough.
although today is better,
i can't help look back
at the time lost
in yesterday

Falls into every piece...


And becomes jagged.
A broken bottle
Feeling every wave
Waiting with infinite patience

To become 
Sea glass

Smoothed and torn
By the tides

An echoe of ebb

And yesterday

I've got my suit and helmet
But the rain still
Falls in every piece
And gets through to me

It's time to tread
Into the storm
And my sword is only
Transcendental

No time to think
Mountain Biking 

quick, quickly
racing through the trail
i've got my suit and helmet
in the woods
near the ocean
on a sunday afternoon

A thought in passing 
A word forgotten
No time to think
Mountain Biking
