when you let the energy direct ya
you may find yourself in an energetic trifekta
a connection so elemental
effortless flow/ form, spirit and mental
a sense of care by way of parental
not weird more sentimental
from young to adult
affection attention experimental
just make the sure the drugs aren't that's fundamental
the art of testing testing 1 2 3
like a mc with equipment faulty
it's the cords, not me, not inherently
they're just a little twisted
a little jostled
up there you see
you'll see, i don't mean it intentionally
i'm still figuring out how to be
and thankfully
it comes more easily
in the sanctity
of feeling free
you and you and me
brought together by synchronicity
forces unseen
protected for infinity
in our potential's infancy
12/23 grants pass.. i wrote a bunch of poetry for the first time in a long time that night, and a lot of different things ran together. im pulling apart separate poems from a  more stream of consciousness poetic flow and can make sort of different versions with some of the same lines. thinking about love in general a lot both romantic and platonic. the vulnerability of love hits the same regardless but i think our society really pigeonholes love into having to be romantic with affection reserved for 'partners' or casual versions of the like. in any case this one particularly reflects more my appreciation for certain friends and combinations of friends in groups that carry such high vibrations together! super dope

winter sun on my translucent skin
sheer epidermis veils my veins
parched of sun depleted by rains

i love you rests at the tip of my tongue
at the edge of my lips
swallowed back
into the hollow cavity
so low
get high solo
never allow the sorrow
don't cry until tomorrow
every day
quiet.
the chatter stops
the words dance on my tongue
still twirling, swirling
a tornado of uncertainty
as the syllables threaten to blow away
from my mouth into open space

nobody prepared me to graduate into an an abyss
they said get a degree it's all you need
but they didn't warn me of this
i followed all the steps,
passed all the tests,
scored all good grades,
but still i'm afraid there is something i missed
21 years
21 years my whole life's lead here
now i hear
find a real job, start a career
yet i fear i'm nowhere near this ideal
feel like nothing is real
or something's amiss
and i really believed i could achieve this dream
clung to a fantasy called expectation
a fantastic dedication that all
falls
falls
falls
apart
in a violent eradication
upon graduation
how bitter
of naivety to reminisce
to sobriety and variety
and illusionment before dis-

i'm waking up and glowing
glowing up and growing
never slowing
down
you can't see my worth
that's okay
i don't need you around
as i'm flowing
in the clouds
knowing
it's all just noise
sound
i love you and i know
that's sappy
but i don't need you to be happy
and i can't wake you up
ego so asleep like 3 bars deep
where the demons creep
suffer
suffer
til you look them in the eyes
their lies are your lies
or are your lies theirs
blow a kiss good night
leave you sleeping in the dark
as my soul fills with light
you can't even see my glow
when darkness is all you know
you can't see my shine
too blind
for feminine divine
*****
is that what you'll call me
no matter
i'm seeing my worth
my value
the love i deserve
you have my heart
gave it to you my self
and you have the nerve
no, it was never yours to have
now i'm taking it
back
i'm awakening
and maybe there'll come a day
you'll wake up too
rub the sleep from your eyes and you'll see
that you threw my love away

get out of my dreams
and into my bed
get out of my mind
and under my sheets
get out of my head
and i'll give you the best
rock my bed frame
and don't take a rest
get pleasure from pain
and let me hurt you the same

i feel alone again, what's new
nothing i haven't already been through
another him, another you

maybe i'll never be enough
for my self

being around people scares me
seeing couples again makes me nauseas
observe from the outskirts
close my lips, guard up, stay cautious

in the midst of anxiety
the k holding me up
asking why? what's the attachment
i'm losing it.
what are you losing ?
but comfort in your own sobriety
