#evolving
I’m pouring, I’m souring, but they say I’m boring. I’m living, I’m loving, but they say I’m faking. I’m trying, but they just say I’m crying. I’m thriving, I’m rising, but to them I’m just starving. I’m healing, I’m feeling, but they just say I’m still dealing. I’m writing, I’m fighting, but they say I am just cynical. I’m carving, I’m devouring, but to them I’m just copy-and-pasting. I’m being true to myself, but they say I’m hiding, I’m deceiving. I’m raw, I’m blunt, I’m what I am to them, I’m rude and shrewd. I’m embracing, I’m evolving — am I becoming what I feared?

The fear I become
Risk flirts with defeat Beaten doesn't mean you're beat Some plans trust retreat

olden days
Isolated and crippled from the fear of being alone No one to turn to, trapped by my feelings of of doing it all on my own. Where can I find solace when my only ally is me? How can I find comfort when I’m struggling to break free? Surround by nothing but darkness, there’s nothingness all around Drowning in my own echos with no one to absorb the sound. Free me from myself for I am and completely lost in time I’m trapped in who I used to be, I can’t adjust to this new paradigm. The journey I’m on is mine alone, so I have to keep on this journey No one to guide me, I’m doing this solo, I have to be my own attorney.   Slowly growing and making some traction, but I have to keep on going Redefining myself and who I can be but I love the way I’m growing.

Alone
stretches of time miles of missing what does your voice sound like, again? you're not here to answer all my rhetorical thoughts so i ask myself; is this what longing feels like? there are still parts of you d r i f t i n g   a  w  a  y i try to catch them on my better days but the sun in my eyes sets sparks to my soul and the darkness fades away with you and so i’m left wondering alone again y e a r n i n g r e a c h i n g but for what? •  •  •  •   i find my breath and i find myself i breathe in this moment remembering this is all i need _this is all that exists_

drifting away
GCTA shouldn’t spell your name but I’m pretty sure you’ve hacked my DNA so that a well-meaning scientist seeking to cure my horrendous malady with cutting edge gene therapy would scratch their head in finding your name writ so deep

Blood
Sometimes, I fear that the passing of time will be the ruin of all that makes up of me. I hope not to be the consequence of destruction by distraction- fading away within the fleeting of life. Sometimes, I fear my responsibilities becoming like a weapon for involuntary manslaughter. I do not want each day to erode my soul to dust. All of what I am becoming the ground beneath conformity. I do not want hazy eyes in a dazed filled life, each step I take almost simultaneously. I do not wish the world to warp my individuality. I want to devote to my own ideal of integrality. And remember all of the persistent passions that have coursed relentlessly through my veins, morphing all that's evolved to me.

My Fear of Time
Undoing every punch Lock my voice inside a dial tone of conflicting passions Is it ok to cry? or should I call? It’s a curious thing when you let these buried phantoms master you They reappear and sweep you up into uncharted territories unknown As you sit and stare at their ghost of a memory Reflecting the dimensions of yourself Smiling happily knowing you have worked on yourself Dissecting the luminosity of your youth Naive innocence Still there No faded imagery or idea too far away to be.. Believed All is possible in the mirror of another world or so it seems…

Invisible: Called a Curious Thing
I fold, I bend, I stretch But I don’t break. I chip, I crack, I flake But I don’t crumble. I press, I squash, I scrunch But I don’t split. I am STRENGTH!

she
Sometimes I wonder How did you claim To know me? Still you have to Verify the existence Get introduced to My shadow A silhouette of the soul Yet I search For my self Within myself To know me

A Way Long
In the middle of Reality and surrealism is where you will find me. Finding it may be difficult to differentiate. Everyone seeks to find the way to reality. Asking for guidance might help gravitate. Time has always taken it's time. Causing detachment from everything, everyone even me. Learning, healing and being is my aim. Hoping I'll be able to digest the end.

Illusion
I could fill my hands with wishes. Vials of fairy dust tucked deep in my pockets. one day, I might need it. But that day I think may never come. Prayers whispered on red stained lips, but they drop sincerely, with to much heart. Silence says to much in ways I can't comprehend. Wind says that it can take me to a place, where shadows can't haunt me. Sorrow can't sit on my door step, reminding me of things that want to consume to much of me. Monsters grab me in the night. Profanity and ****** don't mix well with whiskey. My stomach is always twisted in knots of strangled butterflies. I could be a runaway. Just another face on a milk carton, or those cluttered bulletin boards at Walmart. I fade away so easily, flowers in my hair and feet bare, sunshine warming my face.

Runaway
Maybe our past version could never make it work. Maybe they weren't meant to be. They knew to little and felt too much. But now that we've picked up our broken pieces and rebuilt ourselves. Reconnected with ourselves. Changed, grown and matured. I wonder if it is meant to be between these two evolved souls.

We Are All Learning & Growing
like the sun we may seem great and like the sun we may know we’re not. the sun knows that she is one of the smallest red giants in the universe and she knows to become great she must take up more space. engulf those near into her flames to become bigger, brighter. and we sometimes feel this, too. that we must take up more space to become bigger, brighter. until like the sun we will become so big that we burst, becoming small again. we are like the stars, especially the great ones.

the great ones
we read the same books. watched movies together and would share a salted popcorn. 'because sweet was always too sweet', we'd say. i'd listen to the sound of her voice at four am, she'd listen to the sound of mine ten minutes later. three months later, the spark died down and it was as if i was looking in a mirror. changed the angle and now i don't like what i see. i hated her, changed more about me so i wouldn't be my mirror girl.

Discipline your mind to think rationally and realistically Let your reasons rhyme and your rhymes never be without reason Resist resistance and render all rendering rendered Be relentless with repentance, righting every wrong until there’s only room for rewards Whether god sent or godless be on guard regardless Rearrange the soul of your renegade, show him how to be a real man Until the distribution of retribution, this is the restitution And remember, you are who you think
