i always have
the urge to run.

but what is it like
to be a tree?

to be confident enough
to root yourself
and grow with
wild abandonment,
being unapologetically
you?

i'm still running,
but i wish i knew.

So much sadness
Quietly tucked away
Reserved for a later date
I wish I had stayed.

Infatuated by the silence
Wishing for a voice
That gets me.

How to poet a life away

Toss the trite learned

Skip grammar mostly too

Rhyme or not is all yours

Step to drummer unheard

Believe in life yet untold

Read a thousand times

More than you write

Live, so you will know

What you are talking about

Take wild leaps in mind

Without losing it too far

Write not only about love

Although that’s all there

Really is or really is not

Fall in some love also

More than simply once

With not only your words

But others in thought

Wishing to poet too

Find me in dystopia
Where the trees grow more beautiful
Underneath
And the shattered souls
Are the air we breathe
The ever changing
And the thoughts
We actually mean
A plague so fruitful
We can feast
I'll be in the garden
Ripping apart my limbs
For I am free.

I felt a deep nothingness
As if I was about to faint
The cold reality I grasped
Crumbled into something smaller
Unfamiliar
But ever present.

If the pieces put you back together
Where would you be?
Would you then see me
Enough
To understand that we all are lost.

For where it stood
It left nothing underneath
A silent asylum
Of dreams.
