I chased my thoughts away
with a scream,
yet they still flocked back to
peck, peck, peck
at my peace of mind.

I’ll be your safety net
for the climb you have
ahead.
Forge your way,
you precious soul,
and search
for your joy with gusto.

My heart still beats,
My body still breathes,
And the earth still travels
regardless.

Live with your demons,
they’re often here to stay.
Let them have their say,
but never own it.

I know what it’s like;
To break a heart.
To have no malice,
Yet still tear one apart.
It took a while to see
That you weren’t for me,
But you wouldn’t set me free,
So I did it;
For self-preservation.

Second time around,
because graceful didn’t cut it.
Time to smash the whole bottle
against the wall.

And so I learned to hide.
My camouflage protecting me
from pain,
but keeping both the freaks
and the norms at bay.

Underneath the noise,
a place of peace
and disorientation.
No toys to cling to
or identify us.
A reality of nothing;
not even words to
define the emptiness.
Feeling relief from
the lack of badness,
but rallying against
the lack of goodness.
Who’d have thought
just being would
be so hard.

I took a rest after being
My best
But still failing the test
Of my own perfection.
What happened in that pause, when I looked
At the cause
Of my suffering and yours?
I saw protection.
The ego, let loose, fights
Without a truce,
Until you're tied in a noose,
Awaiting the push of failure.
But the humans that we are seldom live
Without a scar,
And we’ve travelled so far
That we’ve earned our freedom.

Not all of his words live on
in my being;
as I wasn’t aware
there’d be a test
to revise for.
But the ones I have left
help me see
and give me shelter,
so I carry them with care
and share them often.
