Becoming Homeless
love died that night
working late
16 walking home at two
seriously didn't have a clue
that no one gave a fuck
slept in some bushes
freezing
curled up
just a cat nap
then kept moving
got home after four
mom had gone out you see
fucking a beau
"I didn't realize you had no way home"
a fucking lie to hide the guilt
I was on my own
the night love cried
after that it didn't much matter
where I lived or died
working late
16 walking home at two
seriously didn't have a clue
that no one gave a fuck
slept in some bushes
freezing
curled up
just a cat nap
then kept moving
got home after four
mom had gone out you see
fucking a beau
"I didn't realize you had no way home"
a fucking lie to hide the guilt
I was on my own
the night love cried
after that it didn't much matter
where I lived or died

The Tongue Tip
When you told me
that you'd been feeling low
I took it upon myself,
one article at a time
to place my mouth upon
what you didn't like about yourself
and that mood certainly shifted
dragging it out
nice and slow
and so quickly
you forgot.

Silky Shield
strong and tall the barrier stand
as soft as love resilient as steel
guards my heart from falls and spills
a wire around to hold all still
holding away from fear and pain
shields held up against all sorrow
no heartaches or cuts to attend
protected from any forms of disdain
Within this fortress I reside
smiling with love from the other side
to live and yearn is better yet
than to hurt when love's unreturned
left behind in love and joy
forever wrapped in self care
to never let emotions destroy ...
as soft as love resilient as steel
guards my heart from falls and spills
a wire around to hold all still
holding away from fear and pain
shields held up against all sorrow
no heartaches or cuts to attend
protected from any forms of disdain
Within this fortress I reside
smiling with love from the other side
to live and yearn is better yet
than to hurt when love's unreturned
left behind in love and joy
forever wrapped in self care
to never let emotions destroy ...

belief
9 of 30
when I was at my lowest point
he asked me what I believe in
I said I didn't really know anymore & he snorted
no wonder you're such a fucking mess
you have to believe in something
do more than just exist
point taken...and yet...
since that conversation
I've done a lot of thinking on the matter
gone over in mind what feels right
as an emotional creature...I follow my instincts
I now have a partial answer...
it will expand over time...you understand...

I'm not listening...
3 of 30
put others first
they said
{I do...}
stop overthinking
they said
{I can't...}
don't curse so much
they said
{fuck that...}
lose some weight
they said
{I did...}
don't be so sensitive
they said
{I wish...}
act with compassion
they said
{always...}
keep quiet
they said
{as if...}
you daydream too much
they said
{so what...}
use your head...but not like that
they said
{then how...}

Take This Pain
I'm just done
with placing too much
emphasis
on your value
of me
Suffering
the trauma
of bruised self worth
doesn't fit me
anymore
I've outgrown you
with placing too much
emphasis
on your value
of me
Suffering
the trauma
of bruised self worth
doesn't fit me
anymore
I've outgrown you

scales of life
2 of 30
I'm tired of giving standard answers
to impertinent questions
then watching their faces
as they struggle to hide how they're assessing my worth
based on their one dimensional judgment
determining themselves to be better
...at whatever
the next time I'm asked
how much do you weigh
I'm simply going to say
I bear the weight of 20,367 days
a thousand & 1 stupid queries
countless empty smiles
when eyes show a different story
I bear the burden of so many mistakes
...the sheer...

The Art of Forgetting
At my age, my short-term memory sometimes sputters like a dollar store lighter. My long-term memory, however, flares bold and bright. Though I have the requisite sunny happy memories, a few ancient negative experiences sometimes outshine them. Can I really still be bothered by a bad experience in first grade, so many decades ago? Yeah. Watch.
. For the first three months of that year, I was only five. Way too young to be told I suck at art, but that is indeed what happened.
I remember the private school classroom perfectly. Tidy rows of brown desks. Large windows...

Change Can be a B*tch
A truck from nowhere
throwing you in a ditch
waking up
bruised and bloody
wondering
WTF?
how do I cope
with this new me?
I liked the old me
self centered
recrimination free
Pain,
how do I shut out the guilt that was?
as walls of narcissism crumble
I start weeping,
for no apparent reason
The fetal position of my soul
cries out
until my heart grows
falling through an open door
finding power
in me
throwing you in a ditch
waking up
bruised and bloody
wondering
WTF?
how do I cope
with this new me?
I liked the old me
self centered
recrimination free
Pain,

The fetal position of my soul
cries out
until my heart grows
falling through an open door
finding power
in me

Impeded Purpose
Impeded purpose,
Pivotal truth,
Betwixt patience,
Eternal virtue.
Dynamic environs,
Observed conscious,
Always adapting,
Esoteric aesthetics.
Axiom mimesis,
Steadfast vicarious,
Emotional orient,
Chosen chanced.
Potential relation,
Travails unity,
Future resolution,
Pursues peace.

Luxuries
Right now
In this exact place
In the ethereal layers
I as a human being
Have luxuries I do not know I have.

Wealthy in the Ways that Matter
Yeah, so…
By everyone else’s standards
I’m pretty much broke
I haven’t held a job since 1996
Health problems qualified me
To live off the government
I worked from the moment I could
Until the moment I couldn’t
I was twenty-eight years old
When I stopped being a workaholic
And began adjusting to life with less
It took quite a while
It wasn’t pretty
I don’t own a car
I rarely travel
I live in a rent controlled apartment
Budgeting is more than a necessity
I’ve learned to be comfortable ...
