I kept pushing away
I see how annoying it is for another to go quiet and distant
I was afraid of rejection
I got it again
I spoke my mind if uncomfortable
It wasn't comfortable
He wanted an easy life
I didn't know how easy my life would be
I wanted them to accept me when I couldn't fully accept myself
They taught me to heal deeper by my fears
I'm learning to embrace more of me
No longer together
I still care and will love them anyway
I want them to be ok.

CH 29 - PECUNIARY

I find your pecuniary longings
To be so overcoming that
you have become porcine in
your search for it. Wealth is not
some truffle that can be rooted
out of the ground or society.
You might do well to ruminate
on the profundity of this statement.

A piee of pompous hogwash. Playing with words is such fun.

Self-love

& so i fill,
i fill,
i fill;
every void
every space
every hollow
with my own
until it’s spilled
& reach the edges
until it’s full enough
that it doesn’t require
anyone else—but myself

self-love is not selfish

Hey, Man

Hey Man
You got me
Like You Always
Had me

It must be written in Stone.

Love...

is what I have
What some people wish
They can or they may
They have or they want back
In their lives
They don't want to see it
From others eyes
They want it in their world
For love to be in their mind
The pure loneliness that they
Have in their hearts is hate over time
They try to force it into loving hearts
But not into mine

𝓹𝓮𝓪𝓬𝓮 𝓸𝓯 𝓶𝓲𝓷𝓭

I feel a deep sense of belonging in this place
Starting each morning
,surprisingly,
is not confusing
The changes permeate so gently

Breakfast on her comfy sofa
With open view up on the 44th clouds
Sometimes imagine the building falling
With me staring blankly
Anyway,
Be optimistic!

The music she plays
Imparts tenderness in every air cell
Soothing serenity~

Confidence

I've just created my first white bread loaves.
I've mixed every color, worn every shade.
I have pranced in foot-long heels,
Trying hard to gain a grasp...
But in mixing my yeast
Folding in my flour
letting my baby rise
and
Baking my loaves just right
I've never felt more confident in myself.
And that's a gift, eh?

The Ballad of Isolation

Why do humans tend to appreciate life
when it feels like they are losing their grips?

Break of dawn

Low stark warm
The first rays come through
Light upon;
How white
The canvas on the easel
Is again;
Anew a day,
wash away,
The traces, brush strokes
And mistakes
