If you write poetry to live,
You'll die.
You you live to write poetry,
You'll die trying to write poetry
If you write poetry to write poetry,
You'll only make prose
If you live to live,
You'll only ever survive.
If you truly live, you'll write poetry
When you write poetry, know you are truly living.
I cannot measure up to anything
other than the best that I can be

Orbiting the eye
Is a force greater than man
Her wrath knows no bounds
I'm okay and things will continue to be okay even when it seems like they won't be. This sadness, anger, frustration, pain etc won't last forever..!
If you are reading this, then:
I hope you get the strength to get through whatever it is that's causing you so much trouble or pain at the moment.
Don't take things too seriously try to be happy and love yourself the way you are...!

I wish I could write a great piece and then chill for a few

Instead of scrounging each day to create something new

Every poem I write literally makes me jones for more

Is it the poet or the addict in me?
I really can't be sure

I can't catch my breath
You keep taking it from me
I need CPR

I loaned you my heart
but you tore it apart and now
I can't give it away

No one wants to try
nevermind buy
this solidified lump of clay
