The seed is not the soil. The soil holds the seed, But the seed is not the soil. The seed is not wheat. The grain is not flour. The flour is not dough, and the dough is not bread. You are not God, but you are a part.

Filling the Whole
I am swimming in an endless ocean At the mercy of temperamental waters My efforts dictated by this apathetic sea Volatile storms give reason to my struggle But when the crashing waves cease And the tide sits still I wonder why I am even swimming There is no land in sight No clear direction But if cease my tireless efforts I begin to drown Sometimes I just hold my breath Let myself sink into despair When I begin to accept my demise My toes brush jagged coral I know I must not rest on this bed Or here I will sleep forever I muster what energy I can Pushing off the seabed bottom Ascending up through pain and torment I gasp for air at the surface Relief washes over me Once more I have escaped the jaws of death Only to arrive where I begun Swimming in the endless ocean.

Swimming in the endless ocean
For each step forward There is no step back Theres a cost to the progress But It just ain't that Every moment in my life was something to endure spent my life seeking certainty Always looking for more But now I want to walk with no weight on my back It's been crushing me down Always been on the attack Fighting to survive just to go a little more But if I am fighting all the time What am I really fighting for

Inelegant Scribbles
You listen, but words pass through you. You look, but do not see what is plain. You speak, but say not what you mean. You talk of feelings, But refuse to feel them. You say you love, But what's left beyond words? You ask for forgiveness, Yet nothing has changed.

Come to your senses
I've been searching for some time, far past the present. I spent hours exploring emptiness, hands brushing through quiet dark, looking for anything more than nothing. I didn't find any horrors, no blinding light or hidden gold, no you in that formless void, no trace of deep down.

Searching For Deep Down
You pick them up. They pull you down. You want the best for them. they don’t want you to outgrow them You choose growth. They choose comfort. You bleed, you fight, you earn it— And still… They call you the lucky one

The lucky one
I am strong. But when I am strong, I am too strong. I am strong. But when I am strong, I’m not strong enough. I am brave, too brave, or not brave enough. I am good. But when I am good, I’m not good enough. I am lost, but not lost enough. And when I am found, I lose myself altogether

The Meaning of Life
My memories don't feel like my own Nor does my life feel like home I am a stranger Wandering with an unfamiliar history A story scribbled over in crayon and pain I changed Then I changed again Until finally I changed so much I don't know what I means Who am I? I'm just a stranger in my own home
