today, I'm a leaf clinging—
on a morning branch swinging
long stretched evenings

Resentment hits in the middle of a good day
demanding you let it creep in
like the grimy spiders
spinning their web of lies
& those slithery snakes
with their venomous bites
the ones that killed you
& made you die
about a hundred times
Resentment is by far
the hardest lesson of all
Rising above it
setting it to the side
& out of your mind
so you can continue
holding your breath
moving on with a smile

i write
because i am upset
and since when has writing become a form
of exploitation of the human condition
?!
this will all be over soon
he said
over? can that be replaced by fixed?
i don't want it to be over
i want my expectations to become real
i don't want you to go
that steady decline you've been in
you made me hope for too many things
we talked about
starting a business
suceeding in business
starting a charity
building communities
we planned out
my wedding
my family
your new house with a swimming pool
you said you'd give me away
watch whether i decide
to be a stay at home parent
or pursue a career
you're still convincing me
to take on a responsibility im not yet ready for
i need you...i still
want to need you
to be my support
at some point i'm not so certain
of my intentions
before
i met you
i was taught
to value
money
to build
a reputation
to keep
up appearances
above all else
with you
all i had disappeared
before
i met you
i learned
to do
what was convenient
to be
invisible to myself
to have
less than what was due
does it stop there?
maybe you taught me
the better part of me
maybe you showed me
the other side of things
but there is so much more
to hope for now
the just will have a cause
worth fighting for
things are at an end
all these will be done
it shall be finished soon enough

a snippet of a memory
still tries to pick lock my thoughts.
leaving me with a jealous sea of unwanted, played emotions.
it's all a paradox.
a senseless act.
its like a bipolar mechanism that my mind plays and sets to record.
there's nothing more than what I extremely hate on those memories, or what i like to call them. "the hurtful files".
why does my brain punish me this way, no matter what i do, they always find ways to come back, like magnets.

With yesterday
slung over one shoulder
And tomorrow
slung over the other
Today saw
the comfort of emotion
Today showed me
that I am only human

What if I told you to get out of your head?
If I said humans don't love for methodical reasons.
Your husband is not won by quadratic formulas.
Put down your glossy magazines, they're rewriting who you are.
take off your clothes and be naked, be one with everything you are.
I'm not saying that everybody is beautiful. Of course, they're not!
The multi-billion dollar beauty industry wouldn't allow for that.
I'm saying everybody id here, and human, and present.
No anti-ageing cream can do that!
So shake off your insecurities about the world, for they're manufactured too!

I will paint a sky
of stars in our room
away
from burdening lights,
fill the road
with laughter
even as
the sun sets behind
a shadowy treeline
The city across the lake
will stay quiet
as ripples
make their way to shore
lather the sand beneath our feet
wiggle our toes
close our eyes
look up
and taste
the scent of manna
everyday for the first time.

Grant me forgiveness.
For my mouth had acted prematurely
and erred.
Acrid words my tongue can't retract.
My lips quiver,
pursed and scared.
Grant me relief.
For my ego had lunged.
Fueled emotions that strayed.
Sensible thoughts in mind
that my heart had betrayed.
Grant me strength and courage.
Let the next morn's sun,
illuminate the dark obstinacy of my heart.
Allow this bitter turbidity to pass.
So I could walk the hard road,
to a brand new start.

We are all in the same game
just different levels
dealing with the same hell
just different devils
crying the same rain
just different clouds
feeling the same pain
just different falls
failing the same humanity
just different classes
we have the same lies
just different truths
same mind
just different body
same stars
just different universe
same start
just different ending

We are selfish
Why?
Well,
Because we think this world is ours.
It is ours to run
It is ours to cherish
It is ours to ruin
Why?
Because we think that flowers are beautiful
We pick them, we pluck them
As if they bloom for us
Why?
Because we think birdsong is charming
We imitate it
We sell it, we listen to it
As if they sing for us
Well we are selfish
I am selfish
You are selfish
Don't deny it
We are all selfish
We are all human
We are all the same
