#fret
Don’t apologize or grovel,
Don’t fret or cry,
Don’t take the blame
The sun doesn’t apologize for shining,
The bees don’t fret from pollinating
The dogs don’t cry for barking,
The trees don’t grovel from growing
The rain doesn’t apologize for falling,
The birds don’t grovel from singing
The flowers don’t fret over blooming,
The cats don’t cry for meowing
Don’t stop being,
Don’t put yourself down
Don’t take the blame

I wish I could think
about it, because it's on --
my mind all the time.

Awake all night long
since I heard the door bell ring --
Anyone in need?

Well, I think a lot
is wrong, very unhealthy --
they are: opinions.

I've a busy head,
it's full and so much bigger --
than the rest of me.

Over there: the Ocean,
inside me another one --
Without Lighthouses.

Ode to her flannel shirt.
The dark horse screams.
The water mimics me.
The sunlight keeps us clean.
The night time keeps us lean
For what.
Inside of me?
Garrett Johnson.

The road is like the sea
If you don’t have a corse set
Who knows where you’ll be
That’s why I fret
For one day you’ll want to see
Then you’ll forget
And we will never be
So is it sand that our names are set
Or is our story in the stars for all to see?

It's not too crowded
Yet far too late in the day
For everyone to
React this way
It's not a sadness
It's a melancholy gladness
All this busy body bustle
STOP
CLOSE lids
And just LISTEN
Don't Fret
Twist,
Wriggle,
Or shake
It's all you can take
You are not numb
Over blown or undone
You are One of Billions
In this crowd

She walks only to forget
The tears of her regret
Only to fret and get
The needs that are unmet

I fear the day
my heart fails
to crack my ribs
with the
earthquake
that shakes
all the way to my skin,
in the form of goosebumps
I fear the day
it forgets
to recognize
the heat of that flame

Motionless trees sinister
In their silence
Images swirl of twisting pirates
Shapes and shadows stoop
Contorted, turn and beckon
A voice whispers softly
Of things that only darkness knows
Shivering, eyes deceived

Mum, I have dreams
that I wish would come true.
That doesn't mean I neglect
the ones dreamt by you.
Dad, I have wishes
that I dream at night.
That doesn't mean I feel
that yours aren't worth a fight.
Mum, I know I am difficult
and that I nag and whinge.
But your words are sometimes painful
and often make me cringe.
Dad, I know I am different
and that I prefer being on my own.
But, you always misunderstand, thinking
that I like being alone.
Mum, I am sad
and I always hide my tears
because I am unable to fathom
what is it that I fear.
Dad, I am frightened
of something I don't know.
It mortifies me so much
that I find it hard to show.
I do love you both
and I know I rarely say it
because I feel I'm born in a world
where I shall never fit.

You get what you get,
So, dear child,
do not fret.
For life is oh so wild!
You never know what you'll win
or lose
in this ongoing gamble.

The daily grind
Is on my mind
Not all the time
But on Sunday night
I will recite this rhyme
So I can sleep tight
And not fret
So I get
Up
On
Time

Daddy daddy
Do not fret
I'm doing everything I can here
Daddy daddy
Don't worry about me
I'm doing everything you've taught me
Daddy daddy
Smile
Because if there's one thing you've taught me growing up
Keep going it gets easier
Daddy daddy
It's going to be ok
I am doing alright.
