My Heart Is A Bonfire
I voyage onward
Somewhere between the wreckage and the destination
Trying to decipher it all in the analytics of a fractured observation
Overshadowed by the light of days coinciding
The thunder of these moments, memories fighting
Trying to find my spotlight in the sun
Get me over my self
When the heart beat is heavy for ego driven reflections
In these broken record serenades of acceptance cravings for the damages of rejections
My thoughts betray me to heartache
Overdosing on overrated highs
There’s blood on my hands...
Somewhere between the wreckage and the destination

When the heart beat is heavy for ego driven reflections
In these broken record serenades of acceptance cravings for the damages of rejections
My thoughts betray me to heartache
Overdosing on overrated highs
There’s blood on my hands...

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...

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...

BUSTED SEAMS (10-15-1989; Del Mar, California)
somewhere between truth
and perceived reality
somewhere between
technology and biology
all of us so long lost at sea
here in this great tempest of imbalances
my mind flew long ago amuck
so tired of struggling
against my true nature s grain
in trying to achieve
any semblance of an even keel
in this mad hatter s culture and society
i don t even know what i think
or feel anymore
ordered systems strangle me
yet diverse freedoms entangle me
all of us so caught up
overwrought
in never ending...

Yeah, I Could but I’m Not
My sister lives in Cali
Constantly trying to keep up
By all appearances
She has the perfect face and body
Sends me selfies all the time
Questioning if she looks sexy
Be yourself
I swear, if I say it one more time
I'm going to have to make it a trademark
Her response is always the same
I can't, I live in LA
I cannot
For the life of me
Understand why anyone
Would live their life
Under such immense pressure
I could get...

power of investment
he used to tell me...when it comes to love
the one least invested has the most power
I resented it at the time
it made me so angry...
...so hurt
guess that shows where I fell in our equation...
in the end...turns out he was right
truth is...love is only as real as we allow it
and not everyone has the same capacity
...translation...
...or the will
but my mushy heart will gleefully fall
regardless of how unlikely it may turn out
because I feel most alive when I'm giving
when the glow warms my entire...

Frank Sinatra-ism
I know you mean well
I really do
but goddamn
everything I do doesn't require
your "expertise"
do you enjoy being a nag
or is it hereditary?
your mouth all mighty tongue everlasting
can be such a drag at times
makes me wonder if you were always
an old hag in disguise looking for
someone you can henpeck
into an early grave
you met me being me
being free
it was my sovereignty
that made you wet...made you sweat
or did you forget?

Deep Within Me
If you could look deep within me
You'd only see deep wounds and scars
Cuts and abrasions, some new, some old
Each one has a story to be told
You'd be able to tell where each time one started to heal
A fresh one formed, or a previous one sliced open
Each time the process starting over
Never getting closure
If you could look deep within me
You'd see a light once so bright, now dimmed and dark
You'd be able to tell where the light once burning, was blown out
You'd know at one time I was full of...

reign overthrown
I watched the words
unexpectedly appear on my screen
barely surpressing an internal sigh
I really shouldn't be surprised
because after all...
I was the one who walked...
but never blocked
unnecessary...I thought
debating momentarily...
...should I even reply
in the end I did
just to see where it went
and quickly discovered something unforeseen
I knew him...
...he no longer knows me...
