Practice “my” traits Allow the knowledge to flow I make my food Servings of protein Driving alone Up and about to nowhere My days seem endless Distant in my room Awaken when I see myself perform my life But is life everything and everyone if we’re all reflections of ourselves Performing this experience in the now... we are the crowd and dancers I am you But my thoughts conquer and the surface is all I see My ego doesn’t understand I want to love it so that it shrinks I’m full from my meal I miss Sabrina, my dear friend I’m on this journey, and you’re still in it too somehow Beauty is when the mind ends When you just are with what’s infront of you Cultivating in this state of loneliness Collecting information Input Output I don’t want to work tonight The people will dance to the music I’ll dance to our lives But still playing my role Shake my head right Security Whatever Everything is happening in one moment Sometimes it’s :/ Sometimes it’s :) You know Either or... it still is... “is” When it all collapses, your spine tingles I love my family I love myself more these days, but it’s hard My thoughts fall into the processors Some seem to be “important” I’m practicing my life I’m experiencing it all in one In one breath I shift in and out But it’s always there Either way, I cherish the emotions The downfalls The glory moments I come back to myself I come to back to all Behind the curtains Behind the show Behind the producers Behind the mind Underneath it all In peace Dancing in the stillness of it all So much to think They come and go But some are part of me, they are stitched into my mind I’m going to drink some coffee This one is everywhere But inside me “Meeeee” I miss myself sometimes But I’m wrong to This is fresh I’m getting used to the handles of this acceptance A follicle in an ocean Vessels of ideas walking the earth, ******* each other

I use men over and over again and they don't mind I'm humane and kind I don't cross boundaries I'm just a guest we both know it and it's already been addressed. When he undressed me he didn't ask about my father. When he kissed me he didn't press into my heart because that place is very ****** dark. I use men over and over again to feel something to have fun it doesn't really matter, because we're all agreed, this is something we both need. But you pushed and shoved, smashed and cannonballed my wall, I didn't want you to ask or see behind my mask, And even though I fought this fight with laughter against your shooting questions, you pushed and shoved against my door to find out more. You were sweet I must admit, romantic and gentle, but there is a reason everything is compartmental. because when you left the next day you didn't stop to check the doorway, where you carelessly left behind my open heart and eyes. I didn't want to share my insides because as you walked away you didn't check to see what damage you had done. Asking questions you didn't want the answers to. I use men but I don't ask more than I'm ready to receive, and they agree I'm not trying to deceive, but you blew the doors of pandoras box and left me with the mess that I now have to try and repress

part i. what does death taste like? (“death is a part of life.” it doesn’t have to be) i haven't visited that side of me in a while. i forgot how death felt -- how voyeurism felt. the queasiness used to give me a rush, the asphyxiation made me blush. the decaying yellow was complementary, and the edge made me feel, dare i say, alive. while i’ve been a toddler again, i’ve forgotten the taste of wine and the texture of bread. i no longer noticed how soft, ripe my flesh was. i no longer noticed the grime that piled beneath life’s fingernails. i washed my hands so often, i assumed everyone else did, too. my eyes became filled with tears, and my cheeks went ashen. yet, his brows were knit, his eyes were cold, his mouth in a comfortable frown. he questioned me (as if i was irrational for crying over a death), his tone heightened (while his conscience declined). his eyes decline when he feels his conscience die. but he says it only happens when he doesn’t look me in the eye. when he looks me in the eye while he cuts off my air, he’s aware. he’s careful not to take it away permanently (he has a limit). when he looks at me, he sees me, his angel. and trees do fall; leaves break away; soil does dry out; flowers wilt; and we come back. part ii. tea more and more i search for quality. for quality. peace. i want life’s beauty. i want life’s deliverance; i want what gaia has left to give. the more i think, the more i feel. i want the grit, pain; to be used and abused. masochistic: please me by using my body to vent. remind me of what that iron taste is. take away and then give. my throat (a lifesource) -- take away and give back. part iii. samsara/nirvana freedom from samsara. this cycle of death. no, i won’t live forever; i’ll ascend far past immortality. beyond life, beyond death. no. life and death. those two words have no value. no longer hold weight. are not real. i exist solely as an entity, a matter, a collection of stardust and dirt. dense white matter protecting throbbing pink matter. deconstructed. abstract. conceptual, theoretical matter. we aren’t sparse. “we” are not. we are fleeting, made up complexities; making life difficult. “we”. me. “i am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.” samsara. nirvana. liberation. no more “cycle”, no more rotation. existing in a pile. no alive, no dead. these words don’t exist. no ring around you. no ties to you. no chains on you. drifting, floating, sliding through (no beginning or end) tranquility.

Have you ever heard the saying, If you play with fire, you're bound to get burned? Well, to me, I think it's just as bad as touching the hot water. The difference is that, if you do not have control over the water, you can't really tell the difference of whether it's cold or hot until you touch it. Now don't get me wrong, you could probably feel that tiny whiff of heat or cool air, but it's not as easy as looking at a fire and thinking it'll be hot. So, why am I telling you this... Well, water is the same color, whether hot or cold. Cold water does not hurt you as quickly as hot water, yet it still hurts. People are like hot water. Life is like cold water. And you...your soul...conscious, if you don't believe in those, that's lukewarm. Cold water can feel really good when thirsty, And hot water feels good when bathing, But lukewarm water...it's simply lukewarm. Not bad, but not good.

Hot Water
My eyes feel the unfortunate kiss of the sunlight Man, it burns so fricking much when I try to grip onto woke I anxiously glance at the time even when I have no plans or promises I wonder what day it must be Climbing out of bed without a routine can be bittersweet It's as grand as going to work every day other than payday But what's the most unfortunate thing about the morning light It's the fact that yesterday happened You can't wake up and see that everything was just a dream Funny, I could've sworn this already happened before... It's like the world is trying to tell you something Hey bub, did you know that hell is just tiny build ups of agony and then never remembering those agonies happened. Over and over again, you're living in it. Who would have thought I'd be mourning in the morning... I'm too tired for this I should probably go back to sleep... Maybe when I'm gripping woke again... Maybe it'll be the evening.

Candlelight is romantic, unless you're in a dungeon. Context changes everything. Context makes you look down at the bridges you build and realize they are plywood: thin, cheap, but soggy enough from this rain that they're impossible to burn. Realism is a myth. Everyone has a lens. People believe what they want to believe, or they believe the worst. Sometimes they alternate, tense and relax at all the wrong moments, a sigh of relief before the crime has been committed. Everyone loves a hero until they are up against them. The unforgivable becomes forgivable in the right context, ****** as self- defense, or in war. Fear and arousal provoke identical symptoms in the body. Sometimes the boundaries bleed together. Sometimes ethics surrender in the face of love.

Context?
I know I was wrong. Am I ever going to forget? No. Still, my mind races, everyday. In the past, I never saw myself at this point. Love is strong, Love is powerful, With anyone, or anything, especially family. You are the only thing keeping me sane.

I love the trees Mountains filled with snow Icicles hang off the roof Snowmen are built Snazzy lights put everywhere Yuletide is made gay Opening presents before the light of day Unwrapping happiness and love

'Tis the Season
so i said father, father if i come back home with a diagnosis instead of a mangled report card will you look at me less like i am a mistake? sometimes i feel like an add math question. the sort they like to put at the end of the exam paper. fifteen marks, out of forty, out of seventy, out of a hundred, and the teacher taps twice on the whiteboard with sharp sharp nails and says: here are fifteen marks. don't lose them. don't lose them. but i am not good at math. i cannot solve myself, don't have the right formulas never could make the equations stick in my head the way your words always did, father. like gum, like taffy, like cigarette ashes and smoky anger. you look at me most days with calculator eyes though i know you don't mean to. are you any closer to the answer than you were eight years ago, in the doctor’s office? have your batteries finally run out? are you squinting so hard because you can't see me anymore? maybe you need new prescription glasses, father like i need a new skin.

what a beautiful sight, you should have seen the blood! should have seen the anger and bitter hot tears and shiny metal and swollen lips from biting as if you're trying to shut that voice up inside you because they speak through you through your mouth and red lips, teeth use your tongue and chest shout for them to go away its not working, it never works but you won't stop trying and you want your veins to run hollow and to bleed yourself dry because you feel like an empty shell the only thing inhabiting you is the harsh voices but they are unwanted and they are bad news and you don't know if you should stand up or not or if that will increase blood flow because you will fall over and see white dots like fairy kisses in your eyes and on your skin and God won't accept you to heaven because you've been told killing yourself is a sin but is hell really that bad because you already feel you are there when really your heart is still beating and your brain is still thinking and your arms are still bleeding and you're still shouting at everything to please be quiet just for a moment to get everything straight but you're not allowed to leave so you're staying on Earth and you're so used to the voices you often get mixed up which ones are real and which ones are in my head? a very common and almost daily question you ask yourself and sometimes others without realising and what is it about depression being beautiful so maybe one more tear and one more cut will make people like you and boys and girls are not just going to be able to fix you just by holding the key to your heart so stop thinking the reason you're sad is because you're used or single because people in relationships are just as sad as you and you are still bleeding and your heart is still beating and maybe sweetheart it wouldn't hurt to sit down.

I have so much left to say, But I don't know how to say it, So I'm writing you this poem In hope that you will read it. I'm not the best with words, and I'm not good at being heard but listen to me now, I'm pretty sure that, you make my heart burn. And all the things you say, I analyse To make sure you aren't telling me lies I'm trying to figure you out Because I'm in a doubt. I have this feeling I like you, but I don't know how to tell you. So I'm struggling to show you The something I need to tell you.

Something to tell you
You're the best thing I have ever had, and the worst I have ever felt. You're the cigarette smoke in my lungs and the alcohol on my lips. It will always be you and me. You're tattooed onto my heart. You own my bones and blood. But then I saw him. Young, naive and pretty. I didn't even know his name. I only knew he was smiling. smiling. He was happy. I fell in love yet again. You still have all of me, my sad lover. But he who yet not have made me feel pain and regret, will always be a dream and a sweet little affair. No wonder why they call me a **** for i will always fall for the pure happiness.
