hang in there
dear me
there are so many things to say
and not enough words to express them
assuming you even have time to process
I know what evil lurks in your shadows
the monsters that haunt your thoughts
stalking your every terrified breath
I can assure you
there are things that do come to an end
but the scars left behind will be tender
and far too easily reopened
I know how loud you scream
but only inside your head
you will learn to release that sound
this is important
your voice is your strongest weapon
I know the urge will be to finally lash out
don't
use it to heal
to share how you feel
you're not alone
trust me
I know
love, me

You're Free To Dance
In a conversation
of freedom and
open mindedness
The analogy of dancing
naked in the rain
is anchor to discussions
It's interesting
that water droplets
falling on undressed skin
(when an umbrella could protect us)
is the mental theater
associated with
being un-shackled
de-chained
removed from slavery
The human race has fought
freedom of sex
since Adam was led
tempted by the temptress
to bite an apple
There comes a time
when you've fought
for freedoms
repetitively;
read on the topic
that you realize
sex is just art
(especially, when done right)
dance is an art
and it's an art
whether you're dressed
on the pole
or not
When information collides
we realize people
are an art
with all their colorful
choice of characters
values and personas
We realize a simple update
comment
poem
story
song
drawing
or even graffiti
is art
ALL ART
is a voice of reason
all reason
should be free
to exist, as freely as
every thought
that crossed your mind
as my words
entered your mental theater
of conscious
theory
I'd fight for rights
of thought
you should fight
for the right
to
art

You've warned yourself of the numerous conflicts that plague our society. It's true that art, as a way of expressing beauty and the artist's thoughts, is often attacked because certain people don't like the message. You urge both versions of yourself to fight for different causes that lead to the same result.
Thanks for participating!

Straight Jacket
An Instinctive opposition to stray from comfort
The binding nature of routine and familiarity
pulling the intricate strings of will
Laziness Permeating through
our ingrained necessity to conserve
Full grown children peering into the murky depths
of turmoil and unknown satiation
Counting fathom after fathom
with nothing but speculation and fear
Worst case outcomes emerging
from the invisible border
between fulfillment and imminent regret
Nothing ever quenches completely
With Evanescence at a stones throw
and our forward movement petrified
The binding nature of routine and familiarity
pulling the intricate strings of will
Laziness Permeating through
our ingrained necessity to conserve
Full grown children peering into the murky depths
of turmoil and unknown satiation
Counting fathom after fathom
with nothing but speculation and fear
Worst case outcomes emerging
from the invisible border
between fulfillment and imminent regret
Nothing ever quenches completely
With Evanescence at a stones throw
and our forward movement petrified

To The Younger Me
Dear Younger Me,
I wish that I could say that this life could be clearer,
But you still have many more roads to walk and many
Mountains to climb. You should look into the mirror
To appreciate everything you are becoming. Have plenty
Of smiles, hugs and laughter to give around because you
Never know who might need it on a rainy day. Never let
Anyone tell you to just be beautiful because you have blue
Skies on the inside as well. You have thoughts, but you get
Inside of your head too much as an overthinker. Enjoy
Your youth and happiness because you deserve that above
Everything else in life. Never some bad things or silly boy
Sidetrack you. Nobody ever said that heartbreak and love
Was going to be easy or simple. Some day you are going
To find a guy who you gave your all to, but it just was not
Meant to be. He is going to break you as he is showing
You what that pain would feel like. You never forgot
What that felt like, but never be afraid to walk away
From the table when you feel like it does not serve
You the right way. You may stumble and may sway,
But someone will give you everything you deserve.
Do not stop exploring or watching the world all around
You because you deserve a world with color and sound.
…And lastly, love this life to the fullest because you never
Know when it is going to give you that final push of the lever.

I , Myself And Me , The Holy Trinity : What I Have Been What I Am What I Shall Become !
You Are So Jung , Be Not A Freud , Yet Understand
They Walk Hand In Hand Through This Manifestation
There Is No Answer To This That I Have Found
Other Than You Must Walk This In Contemplation
And Stand Firm On This Land On Middle Ground
Re - Joyceian In Perspective , Layered We Live ,
All Of Us Together , Always Forgive , Do Not Forget ,
Do Not Fret , That Is For A Guitar , And No Matter
How Far You Go , You Are Always There , There Shall
Be Many Mad Hatters Offering You Tea , Many White
Rabbits Declaring You Late , Yet You Are As You Be ,
Invoking Your Fate , Do Not Give Up Do Not Back Down ,
They May Come To Get You , But Lead Them Round
And Round , There Is No One Who Can Dream You Better
Than You , Be As You Are In All That You Do !
