Sit with yourself a while.
Sit with yourself a long, long while.
Sit until it hurts to sit any longer.
And it’s there you’ll find
who, what, where, when, and why
you are who you are.
It’s there too
you’ll find who you aren’t.

quiet
It’s quiet,
so quiet I can hear
my heart
beat.
So quiet
I can hear
the maid down the hall
humming softly
alone.
nothing and everything
There is nothing
and everything
to fear. Anyone
who tells you
different is a liar.
Oh how the world
is a terrifying place
when you’ve already
walked through the fire.
Some people
In life
you’ll learn
that some people
don’t want to be bothered.
So don’t bother them. And watch,
as they’ll come back around
knocking at your door
ready and willing
to bother you.
obsessive compulsive culture
These are
obsessive compulsive times
in an even more
obsessive compulsive culture
so it’s no wonder
this obsessive compulsive content
isn’t anything more than
a like, swipe, and vine away
from disappearing.
stand with love.
If you stand for a cause,
stand with it.
Don’t claim it as your own.
Be present.
Be aware.
But most of all
be selfless in the eyes of hate.
And when you stand,
stand with love.
You don’t have to smile
If you’re not smiling today than good.
You don’t have to smile today.
You don’t have to smile tomorrow,
but you will smile again.
And when you do, I’ll be there
telling you I told you so.
And it’s going to be a great time.
It’s going to be better than before.
dumb ideas
In the end
all of our
dumb ideas
eventually become
reality, whether
by our own hand
or another,
the dumb idea
to one
is somehow, always
genius
to another.
rawhide
I’ve tried on many different skins
and ended up in this one,
stretched at the waist
twisted and torn
ready and willingly
back for more, more, and more
staples and stitches
dimples for dimes
tenderly oiling this rawhide of mine.
it happens all the time
tell someone
you love
a simple truth
and watch
while they
twist
and disfigure
your trust
until it is
so unrecognizable
you can’t help
but help them
pick apart
every last piece
of flesh and goodwill
until there is
nothing left
but the laughter
of strangers
