***** your happiness,
your carefree smiles and laughter.
**** your friendship,
your trust and your loyalty.
**** your love,
your passion and your kisses.
**** your success,
your pride and your achievements.

**** you and the things that light up your world,
and **** you if you think I'm selfish for thinking
**** you
but you can **** off if you think that jealousy is unreasonable,
when you have everything and I have
**** all.

I scream until my throat aches and ignites.
I scream until my face flushes.
I've been screaming all day,
But nobody has heard me.

thin gray horizon
dull, dark, oozing riverside
a heron takes to wing

do not judge harshly
life thrives in controversy
and differing views
but seek the truth of it
and understand what that means
always be compassionate
serve up truth tempered by love
and kindness to your fellows
free of  any prejudices
that is when and only then
may you pass judgement

i wish
i were as brave as the rain
because
they are not afraid to
fall
