#experiencing
Experiences can be beautiful, fun, uncomfortable, awkward and embarrassing at the same time.

The thought of a café or club
both make my heart rate rise.
Or going to cafés and stores;
even sometimes just outside.
I’m tired of sitting, so lonely,
so sick of staying inside.
So tired of choosing to stare at screens,
but I’m afraid to experience life.
While it seems a good solution,
it just makes me more upset.
I crave to be there, mind devoid of fear;
it seems impossible, nonetheless.
Inside is comfortable, I can’t deny,
but crushing; keeps me up each night.
I could stay inside my cave all day,
‘cause I’m afraid to experience life.
I sit frozen on my floor,
stomach sour and mind awhirl.
My palms and feet are getting sweaty,
fingers pulling at my curls.
So, I study how to take control
of a mind in fight-or-flight.
It will still spiral at outings mentioned,
but I’ll work toward experiencing life.

The Exit reads
Perspectives
of combined measure
Living
Dying
Anxiety
Finding the way
Sliding in and out of train cars
Wondering what makes a life less
like battle
Fielding
Towards the new absolute
In an Outside Game
I’m glad to know
In my imminent realization
of the breakdown
The departature is erudite
I won’t be going alone.
For the company I count on is more important
the passing of the months in time
Becomes clarity in the innovative mind
the closing of the bureaucratic disguise
the fault of the common dime
in a denominator
that disappears in the forest swept away
by the inadequacy of nature vs nurture
Unconcerned with the future
The decay of the personal and the collective
Morality is unquestioned
these days
the disintegration of the social fabric of cohesion
the deterioration of the forces that be
The decline of innovative value from one’s drive to make the difference
Is not always enough to survive
That is the end of an age
The way to new health must paint the way to all things imaginable

Is there joy
in noticing the details of experience?
For example:
When I encounter a flowering tree
I enjoy noticing
all the colours, shapes, sizes and textures
of every flower,
every leaf,
every fruit,
every branch,
and the bark of the trunk too;
Then I have enjoyed
experiencing the flowering tree!

Is there a basic joy
in experiencing
every experience
which I experience?
Is there joy in sights:
colour, shape, size, patterns?
Is there joy in sounds:
loud, soft, tone, pitch?
Is there joy in touch:
hard, soft, rough, smooth?
Is there joy in smell and taste:
salty, sweet, pungent, tangy?

I have sunsets on my cheeks.
Blushing roses
and pinks.
I have flowers in my hair.
Blooming,
growing with me.
I am a wanderer
around my life.
Navigating
who I am
and who I want to be .
I wonder what
the seed of the maple knew
Before he was told
to be a tree.

I want to get lost
in the moment
and the adventure.
I want to lose everything around me
to find
myself.
What is the point
of everything I have done
when it's not something
I am head over heals in love with?
I want to lose everything around me
to find
myself.
Everything is within grasp
but clenching my fist
and not letting the dream
slip
right through my fingers
is the hardest thing in the world
to do.
I want to lose everything around me
to find
myself.
But how can I lose everything
in the wrong setting,
in the wrong circumstances,
and in the wrong way?
I want to lose everything around me
to find
myself.
It's a taste so mouthwatering
it burns,
which I can't remove
and don't want to.
I need to lose everything around me
to find
myself.

Feel It
Breathe It
This Can't Be Real
Can You Believe It?
See It
Dream It
There's No Stopping You
No One Can Tell You What To Do
Experiencing It
Become It
This Is Your Life
Don't Cause Any Strife
Progress Yourself
Commit Yourself
Try Your Best
Don't Talk About Failure
Dont Even Jest
