what does it truly mean to "be lucky" we determine how every aspect of our life plays out. our successes and failures alike. whether that means bottomless sums of money or life spent on the cement corner. content and joyous or a constant sense of numbness like your heart is filled with anesthetic. visualize, motivate, and it shall be. **** off, luck doesn't exist.

luck
They say “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. The metaphorical epitome of health resting on a single fruit. A single object. A single piece. A single phrase. Everything relies on something simple. Everything can be changed with something simple. A life can be saved with a word. A hand. A smile. But why is it that when we need, just this one apple, this one simple object to change everything, it is not there? On the uplifting days we have a supply of apples readily available, yet on these days, When the rays of sun are purely darkness, and we dance with the devil contained inside our head, these apples have vanished. You reach out searching, you try to create your own, you force it. Nothing Works. You can’t stay away from that doctor, you can’t stay away from that darkness. You are engulfed, thinking maybe through the blindness you can still obtain the answer. The Cure. You’re Wrong. You’re Trapped. You Have Nothing To Stop It. It’s just a simple fruit, but it is one that you can’t have.

simplicity
if; all that glitters is not gold, how come my mind and brain deceive me? what differentiates between reality, and fantasty? what if because it glitters, i wish for it to be gold? who decides that gold is valuable, and glitter belongs to the depraved? Me? You? Society? Me. words are arbitrary, each and everyone of us assigns our own meaning to everything we encounter. so why follow the definitions that others set? two roads may diverge in a yellow wood, but that doesn't mean you need to take either path. you were given two hands to pave your own way.

problems are everywhere, pain is everything, build a bridge and take step by step until you're over it. throw yourself into a grocery cart and push push through it. until you reach the other side. trauma hurts, but standing in the same spot unaffected, letting knowledge pass you by like cars on a freeway causes more pain than trauma. look to your left your right this bridge is made to fit more than one person, you're not alone. it's built to hold everyone. you just have to recognize that they're there.

why poetry?
your pain may not heal, too drained to feel, but life drags on. your heart may ache, in part for someone you just can't shake, but life drags on. but don't yet give up for what a gift it is to live, buttercup.

we all have a path me & you, our path paved with each step we took, hand in hand i thought we were civil, but you took your fist and created a rift in our ocean ripple after ripple stolen emotion from my heart crippled in your freezing hand. i thought you were electric, majestic, authentic, turns out you're just path-etic.
