I woke up this morning
Gasping for air
I had been dreaming of diving
The deeper I went the less I wanted to go up
I just kept swimming
Knowing I could only hold my breath so long
I was almost happy
But I remembered that would leave me
Without you

My writing does not hit
As hard as it once did
The bullets I shoot from my mouth
They are not nearly as precise
Is it possible
I’m losing my
Ability to
Write

I feel like a fraud
I spend my whole life phoning it in
I take in the information
But I put out nothing
I wonder why I’ve been stuck in
The same place for years now
But I’ve done nothing to move

Beautifully rich plants grow against the house
We are here often
The cat he’s a beast
A true predator
He’s loyal
And delicate
He lives a life of respect
The geckos run against the ceiling
On the top edge of the wall
Catching moths and spiders
They fear me
But I do them no harm
I love the wild life
It’s a life I wish to live
One of simplicity
And endurance
For I am only a human
I run on guilt and misery

I have met bad men
Who have been good
For only me
And that is where it
All falls into humanity
The villain in your story
May be the hero in mine

I need to write something
But lately I’ve fell as a squeezed lemon
All that comes out is little droplets
Not nearly enough to make a sweet lemonade
To shove down the public’s throat filled with bits of me

I’ve been painting again
The colors they drip
Emotion
For it’s not what you see
In these
Trash paintings
I pour my guts out into the canvas, I call them trash paintings because it’s not about what you see
