Shall we define
The depth of creativity
With labels such as
Poet, Writer, Artists
Dark and negative
Light and positive
Wisdom of the mighty
Babble of the mad

A thought is given meaning
By the words portrayed upon the page
Don't allow the imagination
To become a rusted cage
Locked into conformity
Let the love flow
Yet embrace the rage
Let your heart
Reflect upon the page.

REBOOT
I look into the mirror
Trying to see who I am
Who I have become
lost
distorted

There is a shadow
One of my former self
I catch fleeting glances
Of this shadow
I attempt to capture it
Place it back on me
For where all the world can see
She is in there
Young
Free spirit
No ties to anything or anyone
Struggling to break free
I can hear her
Screaming, pleading
Feel her
Attempting to re-emerge
Through the distortion
*that life has made me
Tomorrow is my birthday. Today, I dread it..
Memories, how strange they are. One moment they are true, concrete. You feel as though you can grab it and relive it all again as it was the first time. As you are drifting inside of it, you change a look, a word, a carefully placed step. You changed it. The original now gone forever. That magical moment that sent the fires of fervor through your veins, the flames now snuffed. Instead of desire lurking from their eyes you instead see doubt. The memory carries on but now, now you wonder...did they truly mean what was being said? Their confessions of love and lust that were spouted from the lips of passion, the ones that could quench your thirst..was it real? Memories are meant to last a lifetime... So why then must our brains change it? Why must we then doubt our lovers? It is as though our minds cannot be grateful for the love that is present...
The mind is a tricky sob..
