Words. Typical poems. All the same. But this one?

This one's different.

Why you might ask?

You tell me.

Does it make your hair stand on end? No

Does it make you wonder about right or wrong? nope

Will you wake up in the middle of the night wondering about it?

Maybe....

Because I am you.

We seek eloquent truths bottled in used ****** prescriptions
but we're all only limp ****** laying on the side of the road covered in mud.

ART
If I only live once then this is my best bet
To live the life I want
Not to suffer from regret

Waiting for salvation isn't in the cards for  me
I will do what I think is good and feels good,  what I believe

I will run my body in the ground with drinks and drugs and fun
I will stay up till dawn and push it, lie every day, crispy in the sun

I will love with my heart, choose the one who makes bad decisions
Because that is who I am and the one I want to live with

I don't need another parent or someone who would be best for life
I need a companion for the ride, a truth, a love, a wife.
Today I began all the projects I’ll never complete.

The toolbox is out

Everything is ready to go

Annnnd goodnight.....
I love you but you died

You flew out of my life forever

A casket with wings, never to return

You still live in my walls, our books, and the kitchen table

Your fragrance on the tip of my nose when I see your picture
I AM YOU

said, my father

I'm my own person

said, I

I'll never be like you

What a wonderful surprise

I was wrong
In
a whisper of a scent when you walked by

I knew

I followed your passion

I died happy

Thank you
