There's so much to say
so much to do
so much to feel
no wonder in some way
it won't be conveyed
nor fathomed
for somebody new
An introverted dood someone like you

I saw Monticello
A foggy Appalachia
And learned that day
Thomas Jefferson owned slaves

Those angered spirits
Hallowed howling souls
From within the worm-torn earth
Left low-vocalized debt-cords
Tied around a guilty frame

Two centuries ensconced in brick
A time fondly forgotten
When the radicals sung their starling songs
To a land of gin and cotton

There will probably not be another Whisky Rebellion
With the **** beat out of Dixieland
Instead
Watch the T.V dinner-pan out
A Social security check
to every Pioneer.

Down go the statues and mountains
There will be no old memoriam here
It’s time to return these borrowed things to earth
Now that their end draws near.

Peek up here
in between the cherry blossoms
Do you see me?
Take a look out the window
of the SUV
In the pillowed dawn-vapor,
My glistening gold wisps
high on the sunset wind
There in the gemstone gift waters
Yoo-hoo, I’m there too

Smile a while
you’re going to be here a bit
Relax, take off your muddy shoes
Go for a midnight swim
and see if you fit in

I made it so you thought you wouldn’t
But I swear I made you
to do great things

Look at that! You made my light
Put it into a glass glowing pear
And hung it up in the garden
I knew I couldn’t keep you in

And now you make
metal teeth
And metal rocks
and distance me
My seeds of life fall
cherry blossoms
An **** of dying
at the end of spring

But I love the building
Blocks you made
And all the honors that you sing
To claim me as your own
As you cut down the roots
Of my older age

Peek-a-boo! I see you
Smile a thousand miles wide
I will kiss your baby cheeks with UV
Radiation in the perfect count
And you will warm with glee

Hey! Now I'll show you our history
Old sedimentary bones
Crack your minds
With a thousand worlds
I let go
Because I truly wanted you.
Where will you go?
I cannot say
The man I live in
only knows today
Tomorrow is yet
for me to know
the future holds
innumerable fates

Hello you!
A thousand babel towers
Taller than anything I could make
Just kidding; I built it all
Too much for you
To take
Keep trying, though
That’s the point
I want you to want to be me
Well, I want you to want me,
For me,
It’s best for me and you

the world may be your oyster,

but keep in mind that some of us are allergic to shellfish.

I resolve to break my resolution.

Perseverance is fleeting; there are times when
failure overwhelms all senses
and seeps into your thoughts like
black ink upon fibrous paper.

It taints your perspective on the world
and targets your weakest points
to fuel the negativity and self-doubt, leaving
nothing but hatred toward your own mind.

We all experience this at some point in our lives,
but some people must face this beast
time and time again, always expected
to recover for the sake of others' reassurance.

Escaping the sorrow may seem unfeasible;
broken wills may seem irreparable;
the prospect of recovery may seem preposterous
and hope might feel lost.

When you believe that life's purpose is sinister
and that continuing on is a punishment to be feared,
just remember that perseverance is fleeting;
but you've made it this far.

"Keep On"

Keep on  keep  never stop  breathin
free  no place to flop
Keep breathin   walk walk  step

Felt the heartache  keep on breathin

Under water for five days  breathin

Oh Oh baby  breathin   still breathin
till the end of days

       do wah   do wah  do wah

my life is not yours
it is not yours to
take
      or break
                    or make new
my life belongs to me
it is mine to
keep
         far away
                        from you
trying something new

I did
hide my feelings for a long time
world helps me to keep
I don't let people know
and you
I never tell you
because this is too awesome
