My wish
I would be everything you hate
That which you least desire
Here I am.
What to do?
Rage and rage to disown
Hate and seeth upon the deed
There whithin
Built upon my own distaste
Work and toil where upon no end
Only to regret the spoils we reap.
I alone still chop wood and carry water.
I may have a disease.
I may be damned.
I have not given up yet.
That which you least desire
Here I am.
What to do?
Rage and rage to disown
Hate and seeth upon the deed
There whithin
Built upon my own distaste
Work and toil where upon no end
Only to regret the spoils we reap.
I alone still chop wood and carry water.
I may have a disease.
I may be damned.
I have not given up yet.

Overgrown
Notice the biggest ones first
The ones about to finish their cycle
Only to create more and more
Of themselves
Pay close attention to the smallest as well
Let them run rampant
Soon we will be back to where we started
Like most problems in life
We must deal with the ones causing us
The most stress and anxiety
If left unchecked
You pay the consequences
No one else can
The overgrown patch of weeds
Is my mind
Established in rows
I know the paths, I made them but
I can't seem to find the...

B.P.D.L.
If I knew what to say or do
Whether to be there or not
Would I be writing this?
I was told I was next in line to lead
Lead a group of forgotten people
To a forgotten place and time
When I grew up
I was the one left alone
I met her
I met her at the wrong place and time
We fell in love or at least
I did
She drug me away
I wish I was kicking and screaming
I merely stared off into the distance
Maladjusted

Hey, Dad
I don't know,
Maybe"
Is what I was used to hearing
Now I hear nothing
Look at me
I only know how to do one thing
I've been doing it my whole life
How am I supposed to support a family?
I cannot
I cannot
Not that I can't save money
I can't see myself being you.

The man at the edge of a cedar branch
Long ago
Yesterday
I was ready to go
Today
Far far away
I am unprepared
Scared
Alone
Right now I am everywhere
Nowhere
At once alive and no longer dead

Sitka, so far
Can you feel it?
Like I do?
My worries grow
The child hungers
Moon rise, sun set
Raven knew this time would come.
As the waves lap upon my rocky shore
I beg you
Thunderbird
Help me get through
Help me het through
I know not from here
What I do
Like I do?
My worries grow
The child hungers
Moon rise, sun set
Raven knew this time would come.
As the waves lap upon my rocky shore
I beg you
Thunderbird
Help me get through
Help me het through
I know not from here
What I do

Dead Tree
I found
In the wake of things
Its like sifting through snow
In worries I can keep my word
In furrowed brows I'm an expert
A smile is the last thing I think of.
I will erect this monument
To get paid.
I will erect this monument
To be me
Finally.

No honor
I'm half this
Half that
A little bit of here and there
Do I matter?
Or is it just a certain group now?
What about the rest of us.
What about the people here before the people
That came?
Do they matter?
To me
I try to let them.
The rest that came made a difference
But,
Did it need to happen?

Tincture
The grass is always greener
On the other side
Of what?
It depends on the vantage
The grass might be greener
However
Where the trail has been tread
Worn down through the old orchard and
Rose patch past the overgrown stone fire pit
Along the tulips and daffodils
Amongst the gravenstein and plum tree
Past the blueberries and fir trees where they sleep
Greener with age and step
Worn with faded contempt
What used to be despised is cherished beyond doubt
What used to be him is ...

I wonder
When a wave breaks
Upon the shore I wonder
If it feels satisfied, anxious
Happy or sad
As it reaches skyward only to
Return to Earth and crash
Dissipate into the sand and air
Returning home from its journey
I wonder if it knows it is a wave
And its mother ocean and father motion
Love it dearly
As I do
The wave is who I am
Seemingly separate from what made me
Distinct enough to be named
Undefinable as blackness between stars
Only to crash and dissipate with ease
Return...

River and back
I promise that its me
I can't with the sad story
Transform through the art
True I got a problem but that's aside from the part
Guess I'll get along by myself
Not much different than those toys on your shelf
Okay I've tried my rhyme but I think that its time I go home and get some sleep but all I gots left is to think bout my problems and yours but no one told me how to let that shit go and grow the fuck up no one likes a pity party no one likes a rant why complain?
Who cares?
Obviously
None of you.

I suppose
Its my own fault
For not being more noticeable
Outspoken and opinionated
I didn't throw a fit and whine
Like my siblings
I shut up
I pretended your inability to raise me properly didn't bother me
That it wasn't your fault and maybe it was mine even though I was only nine maybe less
Here I am
Inexplicably here regardless of what I put myself through
People are done with my sad story so I'll cut it short
I don't know what I believe in but I live it everyday
Honesty
Compassion and
A will to...
