Perfection is for liars.
For people who are so tightly tucked into
their bed of lies.
That they only dream in black and white.

I strive for messy and real.
I want to feel pain and misery.
I want to feel love and happiness.
I want truth,

Break my heart, so then I
will know what love is.
Make me laugh, so when I cry
I can understand it.

I dont want a perfect love life.
Love is wrong, and messed up, cruel.
Love is right, and harmonized, beautiful.
Love is all of it.

Close your eyes.
Silence your mind.
Be still in the quiet.
And just feel the greatness of flaw.
If I could be anything
What would I be?
What kind of creature?
What kind of tree?

Maybe a dog
So loving and loyal
Sit around the house
For my master to spoil

I could be an eagle
With such incredible eyes
Riding the air current
Soaring free in the skies

Would I be an oak
majestically standing amongst the trees?
Or maybe the willow
Gently swaying in the warm summer breeze?

With all of the things
That I could possibly be
After careful consideration
I'd rather be me

Some events fall out, like onions in layers
and in different layers, a different reality.
But the thing of it is, is to grow at each layer,
and to know if you're traveling inward or out.

My words have stopped
My pen is dry
I've so much to say
I try and try
To put down on paper
My thoughts and feelings
My brain is a puddle
Eyes turned up to the ceiling
Inspiration has left me
Turmoil instead
A black hole engulfs my
Poor battered head
Clutching at adverbs
They slip through my fingers
Searching for rhymes
Procrastination lingers
Abandoned and lost
Alone with the page
It stares blankly at me
No attempt to assuage
The assault of despair
Lurking within
I can think of one option
Open the gin .....!!

Well we've all been here .....!!
