which one?
that night, i was brewing coffee in my favorite mug, then began knitting another homemade scarf while soft songs played in the background. my mind began to wander— is this the life i chose, or one that was chosen for me? this so-called unhealthy relationship... i wondered: is he thinking of me, smiling? or wearing that same blank expression he always gave whenever we had another boring conversation? i began to ask myself: have i wasted my time on something i never truly liked? have i wasted my years on something i’ll always regret? have i wasted my tears on something i could never hold or reach? or worse— have i given up my soul and freedom for something that never truly existed? and yet, i’m still sitting here with my coffee, knitting another useless scarf i’ll never wear.

phrase of the day
Deep in the Now, there exists a kind of woman, often attacked, and sometimes rejected. A warrior soul, independent, rebellious, the feminine in its purest state, untamed and free. She is the one who left Eden, forsaking the comfort of man to carve her own path. They say she was born from Adam’s dust, but made of pure energy and empowerment. She is where the deepest passions and the hidden faces emerge. She is where life’s wounds, fears, and shadows are faced, where lost power is reclaimed. A beautiful woman, but I prefer her in the streets. Because in my bed, I want the one who surrenders, the one who loves. The one who cares for me, and lets me care for her, who speaks to me through true communication. And after long conversations, time slips away unnoticed. A beautiful woman, in her fire and her calm, Lilith in the streets, Eve at home. Not because man commands it, but because that is where she finds her balance.

Lilith and eve in the same being.
You handed over the pieces of your life without hesitation your breath, your time, your love, because that’s what you thought love was. Not once did you think to keep anything for yourself. You reached in and revealed these pieces of yourself over time, wrapping them in your skin, your time, your love. I didn’t need all the pieces that you gave me those you gave because you thought it was love. I won’t let you do it. I cannot. Regardless of how much you give, if I am hungry, I will not take without replenishing what is given. If I am thirsty, I will not bathe in what is excess. I, too, will hand over the pieces of my life, because, as hard as it is to accept, the truth is we do not truly own anything. just enough to feel the space where the years seem to fly by. Something that connects us both. You handed over the pieces of your life, and I promise to care for and love them, because I believe it’s something you just do. Just as I believe in welcoming you to live and breathe in the pieces of my life. I too will live, breathe, and drown in you

I started to text you but it was late. My heart made me feel like it just couldn’t wait. There’s been so much silence between us yet my mouth has so much to say. Hiding how I feel within because it’s not like you care anyway. Random meme’s on IG remind me that it’s time to let you go. How can I just ignore you? I don’t know how to put on a show. My feelings for you are so real. I wish you’d be vulnerable first and tell me how you feel. Cause right now my “too much pride”is all in the way. If I let these walls fall down baby I’d beg you to stay. Are you on the other end erasing unsent messages too? Maybe you’ve dialed my number & hung up before you could express “I love you.” Will our egos be our ultimate demise? I can only sit here and hope that you somehow hear my cry…. Don’t let go.

I’ve had times in my life that make me unworthy. I’ve committed acts that make people what to swerve me. Knowing what I know now, and if I could do back to the days of early, Would I still be so undeserving? Or would the world serve me? Would I be a king? Or just another urchin? Worrying about it now will never serve me. So I try to make my future work for me. Push on forwards, keep on fighting. Maybe one day I will do the right thing. And if I don’t at least I tried, I’ll be able to say that on the day I die.

Light behind our thumbs
And like that she became wet. ********** before she bathed in the storm. Umbrella left home, by the door. She wanted to be cleansed. Clothes thrown to the side. Where's the fun in being dry. To rush every moment that craves to be moist. Splashing in puddle after puddle. The Infatuation of being free. The depth of being caught in a portrait just before it drys. Covered in layer after layer of heavy blue. A foam of white. A kiss that quenches every thirst. Our lips the brush that sops the wetness. Forever more. To purposely be caught without an umbrella

Different Shades Of Wetness
In monumental testament. I grabbed a bottle and began to fill it with notes. In times where reassurance was needed most I replaced the contains of the bottle with thoughts. Unable to speak in a time where actions proved to speak louder. Hesitant eyes that waited for reply. Drawing a blank where silence seemed ideal. On one of the notes I drew a ship on the front and back of it. Sliding it in the middle of the bottle. Shaking the bottle up and down, I watched it shift back and forth in wave after wave of loose strips of paper. Rough torn edges, uneven chunks of paper. Considering myself human for the most part. Taking a minute to walk across the shore. Watching a ship sail it's maiden voyage. Blue lines, the smell of paper. The sound of waves crashing against the sides of the ship. Sitting down along the side of the shore. Watching a ship caught in a storm of paper. Reassuringly gathering my thoughts. The ship drawn perfectly, setting sail across the depth of the bottle. Leaned upright, splashing down on one note or another. Following my first mind I sat the bottle on a stack of books. I still wasn't ready to talk

In A Bottle
Who are you when you're alone? Who are you when you're surrounded by people? Who are you becoming? Are you listening to all the voices in your head? Are you the same person in the daytime versus the night? When you look up at the sky, do you see blue or do you see gray? When you look in the mirror, do you see beauty or do you see shame? Do you ever notice the differences between the person you were yesterday & the person you are today? Can you remember the last time you went out & didn't get wasted? Can you say you spend more time on your phone than in your own embrace? Can you even recall the last time you woke up happy? Tell me, who are you when no one else is around? If you're honest with yourself, you'll realize we all have parts of us that are frail & broken. That's one thing we'll always have in common. If you come in contact with someone who tells you anything different, run. I'm not afraid to share my story, neither should you be. Life is freely given to us by grace not by privilege. Don't ever get that twisted.

Who are you?
My wounds go deeper then the ones on my wrist My scars hurt more than the blood on my wrist My tears won't fall, I'm emotionally conflicted While inflicting this pain is my most sincere addiction It hurts so much, I just want to cut deeper Bleeding out, awaiting the arrival of the reaper Scars so deep, I no longer care to smile Wishing I could slip away for a while To fade away, leave my troubles behind Only if the voices in my head were as kind Wishing for the time my body decays That is when I live my final day When family and friends all beg me to stay Most importantly its when my scars fade AWAY

Scars
You are my everything. You heal me of my internal wounds Relax and relieve me from the days stress You block out all negativity in my life And swerve away my press When we touch we merge together to form one being Although your person is small enough to fit in my pocket Your soul surpass mines and when we're together we're equal Soaring up like a rocket And you and I are unstoppable... Until we hit a comet and your left brain stops working. . Then I'm forced to find another more suitable to please all my needs But I still got love and hope for you and me And you and I and I can't do it I feel so stupid without my music I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm truly am         But I need new earbuds to put it.

Finish Line (10w)
Once an addict always an addict And I'm back in the attic Blowing dust off picture frames and knickknacks Stirring up old feelings and panic attacks These memories so fragile These demons so quick and agile None of it ever goes away Just covered until a cloudy day When my soul decides to do some housekeeping But this is something no spring cleaning Could ever completely sanitize Until I come to realize That this is no longer me Just remnants of what I used to be

Killing My Addict (Cleaning the Attic)
She has a way of tormenting you In every direction you try take She gives you a curfew Hoping, probing, that you, too, slip through the cracks. I wanted to be a astronaut To explore the universe To find my destiny Through the black hole And out Spaghettified or not When my now cuffed-mind Soared the air With wings dispersed in the wind Still when she didn't care And thought I was harmless She tried shooting me down And got one through a wing Now I think I want to be an accountant Mediocre and sane But who wants to have sanity When you can be in it? So I crashed into Hyperion And as high as I am She still sends her vicious winds To try and cut me down But her torment crafts precious stones So in the interim I'll hold on Hoping that I can un-cuff my mind Keeping a birds-eye view Like a leopard waiting for its **** So that one day I can glide the universe Wings distributed out wide Skillful and experienced So she can never shoot me down Now Perched on Hyperion Patient and vigilant I wait

Society
Where did the innocence go? Doves turned to ravens, Juicesboxes turned to bottles, Toxic beverages leaving poisoned bodies to roam these streets, Possessing personalities of ******** Suckers turned to joints, The high replaced the feeling of love, Which could propel you to places beyond any hallucination, Virgins mimicked, giggled at, Wide eyed stares penetrate their skin as they stroll on streets, Whispers fill rooms as their sealed bodies strut, Jealous viewers stand, shattered, With no purity to share with their loved ones. Thinking their assets can be displayed for the public to adjudicate, Maybe we're to young to know about love, We're young, yes we are. But what good is a young nation, With poisoned , broken youth. What good is a nation with no future leaders. So I'm asking, where did the innocence go? Tell me so I can know. So I can replace the demons that lurk in these infants, With the innocence that should gleam, From their flesh.

innocence
What if there was no light, No inclination to fight, Mountains, all feasible to climb; To be in anyplace, and anytime. What if love was a verb, No pitfalls, no feelings to curb, True loves lost in abyss, No one to meet nor miss. What if death was avoidable, and people weren't exploitable, Earth as Eden; No sin, no wrong, even. What if sadness was eliminated, No choice debated, Just action, speaking before thinking, Leaving all people sinking. For death is still a shadow, The bite-mark is in the apple. Love is fate, ships of sadness and pain: Humanity as the first mate. Always surrounded with quandary and question... But one thing yet to mention: Eliminate all questions of "what if" in mind, Then there shall be answers to find.
