They say life is what you make it,
But what if I haven't made it anything at all...
What is my life then?
What should I do?

A mind fraught with ADD and depression...
Does my life still exist,
when I am lost and weak, bent and broken?
Wrists tired of the pain...

What could I say if they asked me about my life?
Would I tell them I was crazy and always knew it?
Would I tell them that everything was alright?
and could I keep the lies hidden?

They say life is what you make it,
but mine has been unmade, lost in the shadows, buried forever...
Mine is sad and lonely, unproductive...
How can I make it?
It is on mornings like these that I see you in my bed
sprawling out and waking like a tabby cat in the sun
the feel of your silk pajamas
the feel of your feet brushing against my calves every so often
the shift of your weight pulls me closer to you
And I cannot help but turn around to look at your blossoming eyes
and your shy smirk
glistening in the daybreak light.
And I cannot help but think that if I had one morning like this
with you
in my bed
it would be a sunny day, and I'd be happy.
in a Me society
you stand on my broken back
to climb

in a We society
you share roof & blanket
we look at stars, both warm

in a We society
you share knowledge,
story, guitar

for the good
of everyone because
it's not about Me

in a Me society
you are showing off
if you do that

unless you are making money
(can someone explain this
to me?)

everyone though is always free
to be a Me
or a We

and life America
despite what you say
is not a competition

come be
a We
with me
inspired by my hippie uncle Tim
he laid his head
between her warm *******
to feel the smoothness
of her skin
she invited him
to taste of her buds
which were aroused
by his touch
Along the trees that sit in a twisted path carved out just for me
The wind blows a big gust of air realesed from lungs that rustle the leaves
The stars overhead gently blanket the tree tops and give a brilliant sight
And then I hear them, their strong howls break out beneath the moonlight
And I smile as I walk the twisted path carved just for me
Looking and observing the blur of thick colored coats I can see
The thunder of their paws slapping the earths bed
It echoes, reverberates inside of my head
Oh my thunderous brothers howl the songs you sing
Howl, please howl and bring that joy to my heart you bring
