i found a poem saved here
it's a couple years old
i forgot that i wrote it.
to be honest, it's bad
no rhyme and no rhythm
no purpose to be had
but i think that it's useful
to see what they thought
and the words that they chose
because i didn't write it
where did they go?

identity.

i used to think i was confused
now i'm certain it's true.
because the me that was then
has turned into a "you"

identity?

sometimes i think
if you asked who i am
i wouldn't be able to tell you

things it doesn't mean

Listening does not mean learning.
Learning does not mean knowledge.
Knowledge does not mean you are wise.
Wisdom does not mean you are aged.
Age does not mean you are frail.
Frailness does not mean you are weak.
Weakness does not mean you are worthy.
Worthiness does not mean you are entitled.
Entitlement does not mean you are the one.

someone else

sometimes i just want to take a break from being me
and be someone else for a little bit

i think it'd be nice to run away
but i'm stuck in a concrete prison

sometimes i just want to be done with this
and go somewhere i can be safe

i think it'd be nice to not have to try anymore
but my chains are too heavy to lift

running in circles is a cycle

...running around this endless loop
as if i'm stick in a chicken coop
go too slow and i'll be soup
so i keep on...

if i could taste the rainbow

if i could taste the rainbow
i'd paint it just like michelangelo
i would sing about it like calypso--
every shade of indigo
broadcasted from my patio
so loud and sharp i'd get vertigo
my very own adagio

#rainbow
