Sitting within myself
Belief in my wholeness
Bringing my light
Letting it shine
Most of the time
There’s no way to escape
Uncertainty
Occasionally
But that is not me
I have a powerful destiny
Maybe through this poetry
And maybe after I no longer be
These poems might still speak for me
(U)ltimatel(y)
is a word
whose control
lies in the
the first letter
and reasoning is
questioned by the last
it's a dark corridor  ending in an angry mouth
we must all pass through
passengers of linear crime
feeling an exhausting hollow pull
25/01/25
[ earlier version : we walk down a dark corridor  / toward an angry mouth/passengers of linear time/we must pass through/assisted by a hollow pull]
Reflecting on the past is hard for me,
I don't really think I made it that far
I think I did pretty great with the task of being a better me,
But you miss the lust of years ago, don't say you don't.
Rather than being a boisterous beast.

You're only statistically better than you used to be.
I'm proud to be leaving behind the old me, though it does claw at me to leave behind a wild life.
You reap what you sow
It’s all about what you know
Hassles help you grow

It’s a different version with
“what goes around comes around” 11-6-24
perhaps it’s an accumulation of all the rhetoric leading up to the elections. I’m just glad it’s over hopefully we can turn the page with a praying president. Nobody’s perfect we are all sinners , but it’s time to rebuild. Put aside our bias, prejudices, and unite, uncommon ground.
