MINE IS A GEN-Z
Mine is a Gen-Z,
A Gen-Z full of people who are bruised,
Dressed up in new love, but inside all used.
We hurt each other in search of relief,
And peace? Peace is finding someone who is new.
Mine is a Gen-Z,
A Gen-Z that believes in vengeance,
Tangled in some modern curse,
A cycle that we cannot escape.
Love isn't whole, but shattered fragments
That cut deeper with each attempt to heal.
Mine is a Gen-Z,
A Gen-Z that craves love, yet terrified to fall.
“Single, but happy, we say; still, our bodies say...
A Gen-Z full of people who are bruised,
Dressed up in new love, but inside all used.
We hurt each other in search of relief,
And peace? Peace is finding someone who is new.
Mine is a Gen-Z,
A Gen-Z that believes in vengeance,
Tangled in some modern curse,
A cycle that we cannot escape.
Love isn't whole, but shattered fragments
That cut deeper with each attempt to heal.

The Loneliest Constellation
How can one be so lonely from the beginning,
From the cellular start
Before the tongue and breath have formed, before the light touches the baby
Maybe it was rotting in the marrow of my bitter father,
Tortured in a nebula of his own mind and violence
The infant understanding selfishness in the winning of all this existence
Yes, I should have let a son take my place
...

To Be
To be torn from innocence
To be laughed at
To be humiliated
To be doubted
To be doubting self
To be discounted
To be harrassed
To be challenged
To be bullied
To be attacked
To be beaten up
To be discarded
To be spat on
To be judged
To be hated
To be confined
To be raped
To be brave
To be stubborn
To be tough
To be focused
To be persevering
To be better
To be released
To be vindicated
To be a survivor
To be reborn
To be laughed at
To be humiliated
To be doubted
To be doubting self
To be discounted
To be harrassed
To be challenged
To be bullied
To be attacked
To be beaten up
To be discarded
To be spat on
To be judged
To be hated
To be confined
To be raped
To be brave
To be stubborn
To be tough
To be focused
To be persevering
To be better
To be released
To be vindicated
To be a survivor
To be reborn

The sea of you
Light now fading
cold invading
diving deep
in the sea of you
Coal and pressure
emerging
in the purity of form
The diamond of your soul
illuminating
life
chasing dreams
rising from the depths
seeking the facets
of your being
A seashell held to the ear
sings of faith
and promises clues
cold pervades
darkness dissuades
where love begin to fade
Memories are the crucible
in ocean depths
our coal under pressure ...

Step out
Arise sleeper and take up your plow.
Prepare your harnesses and oil your tack.
The ground has had its sabbath rest and is become disquieted.
Remove the rocks and rubble, burn the weeds and stubble.
Strike the fallow ground and don't relent.
Dig in and rip complacency away.
From sunrise until darkness covers the land.
The trumpet speaks, the time is right,
The earth rumbles in anticipation.
The sowers are holding the seed
waiting, watching, watching, hoping for broken ground.
The husbandmen and shepherds bounce from...
Prepare your harnesses and oil your tack.
The ground has had its sabbath rest and is become disquieted.
Remove the rocks and rubble, burn the weeds and stubble.
Strike the fallow ground and don't relent.
Dig in and rip complacency away.
From sunrise until darkness covers the land.
The trumpet speaks, the time is right,
The earth rumbles in anticipation.

"written in the stars"
they'd always say, "god" doesn't make mistakes...."; I'd always think- "what is this place?" those long ago "yesterdays" I'd never think I'd think of death so much and in such a way that I do now adays....
life certainly prepares one- one way or another for that final day.... the way one used to fear that expiration date-all the things one must go through/tolerate....now.... it all makes so much sense to embrace- even if it means no more "sense of wake" in any state....
this place here and now-...

"Alice and wonderland" effect
one had gone down that rabbit hole- before one ever knew what a rabbit hole was; subliminals within subliminal tales in story books- one couldn't pick up....
the tortoise and the hare-the version where the tortoise belived less was more and taking the path of least resistance- while the hare just wanted to show off and show out-and got attention; another whole version of hansle and grettle- where just hansel was "abandoned" 'in the woods"- and "found his way home" "years later"- different than he...

A fantasy- "brought to life"-"bought and paid for"
a thin line between "fantasy" and "reality"- in certain instances it seems- where there's a will there's a way- but the "price to pay" could be a "debt/depth that's deep" if at all granted- or so it seems;
every one isn't afforded that "fantastical reality"- where that tape exceeds to infinity-one inserted personally into a personal silver screen that only you get first hand to see; a mind at ease? a legitimate peace? sounds like a wonder land to me- seldom a soul would ever truly see-

"Arteast"
untapped potential- yet to have been truly utilized- from sketch pads and pencils- to paintings- all things gravitationally pulled;
where I want to be(if ever there's such a place) versus- where absolutely i do not; I know I'm one of those- who just so happens to be- existing here- I'm not big on vodka but i see things "everclear"
I could capture it all- just how I'd prefer or how it actually is as opposed to how I want things to not just appear to be; I'm that "stereotype"-i'll lock...

Dissappear
I rather it had been a day one had over slept than for myself and -just any- potential stranger to have ever met; if I'm seen- I rather it be from someone who actually "sees me"- as opposed to psycho-analyze me as if I'm a case study
you stay over there- me? I just want to "dissappear"....
you stay over there- me? I just want to "dissappear"....
