I'm trapped in this moment
There's a rock in my chest
I need you to stop this breathing
Stop this heaving
Stop this feeling
I can take no more
The paradox will crush me
I'm crying out
Oh, help me now
I need your words
I need a spirit      
There's something inside    
It must crawl out                    
Take me away, from all of the pain

Connection.
what we crave,
to be Interrelated.
to feel Belonging,
through no fault of our own.            
to find our niche,
a place to be at Peace.

You've waited so long,,
my respect for
you increase.
Yet, I wait.
I wait for you to move,,
to reveal this
is real.
Please, don't be afraid
of your scars,,
when you've seen mine.

Fly out the window
View the innumerable
Lives spinning in and out
Graze the Cheeks of
all the precious Human Race
enter Souls and
Explore Minds
be distant and
also Attached
find Yourself through
Loving Others

do you ever Stop
and Wonder what your
Life will be in 10 years?
Now stop and ask
What do I Miss Now
from 10 Years ago?

Life is good,
as long as you have
Moments to Miss.

to Realize you have no one to
Blame for your Own
Pain, your Own Mindset
cuts through the quick of
your Bones
slices through each artery
Even your Heart
it goes all the Way to
your Soul
it zaps your Life Force
and strips you
of Dignity

Only then can you
begin to Scratch and Crawl
your Way back Up
to the Person you long
to Be

We were Put here
to Care and Love
One Another
to watch out for
Each Other
Put aside Yourself
