Which is more important to you, the here and now.
Or the future which is eternal, in other words forever.
For the here and now is very short live just a moment.
Compare to the very next life, which is eternal forever.
Also now we may be broken and have physical disabilities.
But in the Life to comer everything shall be made perfect.
So which one would you rather focus on the here and now.
Or the life, that will be spent with the Creator of the universe.
But if you choose the here and now in the very end you shall lose.
Because you fail to make a firm relationship with Christ.
Ice Castles,
such billowy soft worlds
from above,
the words escaping
your lips drip
and this is what
they call vain love.
joy bliss and happiness
holding hands
sprinting
through all of this

in ecstasy of
our first love
you and i
trusting the
first  innocent kiss

I live in a straight jacket of people
just like me
And we breathe the same air
and writhe against the same walls
keeping us locked and unmoving and scared.

all looking for the definition of life
and medication to numb the symptoms
because the pain is to great to fix

But what happened to our eyes?
and good god, the relief in reassurance
no one sees the person writhing against the
wall that they are
No one sees the person suffocating in the same air
that they are

There is so much weakness in feeling alone
and we're only dying because we're blind

Because we're all writhing against the same walls
just open your eyes and maybe your hands
san diego sun waves waft
in through the grime-claimed window
above the cucumber melon colored tub,
and onto a seashell embroidery,
salmon pink

lukewarm soak plus one more drink
I'm alive, but I don't live
I breathe, I sit, I think
but I don't do anything
I don't feel anything
am I truly alive?
I don't feel like I am
I don't feel
all I can do is lay here
staring at my ceiling
writing
I want to feel something
what do I do?
I want to feel something
but I don't have blades
what do I do?
I want to feel something
I won't do anything
I'll stare at the wall
I won't exist for a while
I guess thats fine

I'm not real
Feeling a bit numb

I feel like a bird caught in its own nest ,fighting for freedom without rest.

John
Hitting the dirt
Again and he spins
Averts the impossible
Loses but then he wins
Taking the swings
With the pauses
And the misses with the hits
Always minds his causes
And takes the chunks with the bits

Out and about
He's a man for all people
They scream and they shout
But he's no feeble
Minded trickster with those
Lying sleeves and words
He's the one they chose
He's not just for the birds
No - he don't subscribe to the herd

When it's all said and done
And he unties his laces
He says he's had fun
Open and closing cases
Taking and stealing bases
Like it's just part of his day
Running and gone with no traces
It's not about the pay
No - no, just part of the day
