I Learned
I learned not to ask why
Futility isn’t for me anymore
I learned that 1+1 doesn’t always equal two
Sometimes it equals two ones
I learned to put lotion on my skin before I towel dry
I’m not a fish, scales are unnecessary
I learned that validation always comes at a cost
And the currency is usually too high
I learned that walking away isn’t always leaving
Sometimes people still rent space in your head if you let them
I learned that if dressing the part means I have to conform
I’d rather be naked ...

Yesterday 8:13pm
Always in a daze
Always in a daze
I live the same routine over & over again
Wear that empty gaze
The one that keeps me
Sane!
Don't crucify me
You'll see
Inside I'm fragile....I'm weak
So much more to lose
if I don't try
But I cannot change
I'll just burn the ambition inside
Stared into a void
Of emptiness and a bitter feeling
Too much time alone
Leads me into darkness, dreaming
This road will take me nowhere
Suffocates my will
Today though, I will try again to be something I am not
I live the same routine over & over again
Wear that empty gaze
The one that keeps me
Sane!
Don't crucify me
You'll see
Inside I'm fragile....I'm weak
So much more to lose
if I don't try
But I cannot change
I'll just burn the ambition inside
Stared into a void
Of emptiness and a bitter feeling
Too much time alone
Leads me into darkness, dreaming
This road will take me nowhere
Suffocates my will
Today though, I will try again to be something I am not

vulnerability
morphing and expanding to meet my future
forgotten dreams awaken
will I be a published author? maybe
isn't funny I'm shy all of a sudden
it took me years to get naked on the page
meeting the world nude in my vulnerability
frightens me terribly
I'm taking the plunge
it's now or never
fate has called and I answered
writing is my life
the passion that drives me
excited but scared
what if they love me
and I become famous
worse what if I'm hated
revealing the deepest parts of me
...

A Choice
What if you were given the choice of living
an alternate reality?
In a strange forest, a labyrinth of bark doors.
A life where your dreams are radiant diamonds seen.
Would problems crumble like twigs upon the forest floor?
Or does always exist a veil of unimagined terror's sheen.
A false peace.
Some memories refuse to easily fade, would thoughts
from the life you abandoned, permissionless, invade.
You will exist extremely haunted by
your unfulfilled deeds and unplanted seeds.
Make the life you already have hold meaning. ...

Finding Purpose
It’s what matters most
What motivates us and pushes us to go forward
As we go about our daily lives
Listening to that inner voice
Calling to us…
It’s the internal compass that drives us
From ordinary every day decisions
To those significant and important milestones
Tipping points and shifting paradigms
Where building a more secure foundation
Becomes the priority
It’s the sense of duty laid out before us
Committed and steadfast
So that the intrinsic rewards gives us the fuel
To keep sailing through the hardships...
What motivates us and pushes us to go forward
As we go about our daily lives
Listening to that inner voice
Calling to us…
It’s the internal compass that drives us
From ordinary every day decisions
To those significant and important milestones
Tipping points and shifting paradigms
Where building a more secure foundation
Becomes the priority
It’s the sense of duty laid out before us
Committed and steadfast
So that the intrinsic rewards gives us the fuel
To keep sailing through the hardships...

Accolade
It's hard to tell just what the years will do
and how or why we will be led astray
into a place where nothing makes our day
more than routine melancholy anew.
Youth does nothing so well
as to get its nose out of joint,
and to keep it there...
where no humility will check it.
Old age be praised.

I search all the time for answers
spend countless hours in self-reflection
it's true...I make changes

I struggle just to show up
frequently I...can't

living my existence like it's a cameo appearance

LEADER Acrostic
NEEDED
Regardless of the
direction you choose
to look, there is a
desperate need for
leadership on all levels,
among all people. Here
is a little acrostic I share
with my team.
WHAT IS A LEADER?
A leader...
L-eads himself FIRST
E-nthusiastic for cause/misson
A-ttitude set of positive
D-elegates responsibilities
E-mpowers others
R-eaches clear outcome objectives.
We desperately need leaders
who will lead from the front,
not the rear ... we use to have
these kind of leaders,...

Crowned Sovereigns
In the heart of an anthill, a tiny realm unfurls,
where diligent ants toil, their purpose unswerved.
Their queen, a regal soul, her mandate clear:
“Build, gather, thrive—our empire we revere.”
Her majesty, a minuscule monarch, yet grand,
commands her subjects with an unwavering hand.
She wears her crown of purpose, not of gold,
for in unity they labor, their story told.
The anthill pulses—a bustling metropolis.
Each worker a bricklayer, a tireless optimist.
