#resisting
I don't want to love you anymore
I don't want to miss you anymore
I don't want to think
Or cry
Or beg
Or dream
For you anymore
I don't want
Anything with you anymore
Yet here I am
Doing all of that
Wanting all of that
And more

Lay down your defenses
You will not be able to resist this
Put away your weapons and take down
your protective fences
It's wasted energy to fight what's
pulling you
Discard your layers of armor
This arrow already penetrated your heart
Drop the shield trying to deflect
kindness coming your way
Lift off your helmet
to make room for your crown
Your spear is useless now
Here you stand naked and bare
willing to accept this love you've found
We can be warriors
Stronger together
An unbeatable pair
Fighting demons
Slaying dragons
And leading a path to victory with
the energy
we share
The question is
"Do you Dare?"

Reading as resistance
Not reading as distraction
A prologue of Reflection
An intro in Contemplation
Then commence with Participation
Continue in Expedition
Subdue with Rebellion
Prevail in Revolution
And savour the Liberation
Of a book well read.

Go with the flow, quit resisting change,
Hour by hour time is running out,
Stay up all night, you can sleep when you're dead,
Make lasting memories, forget regrets, you're better without.

Rooster has to crow in the morning
Cat has to prowl around at night.
I see a petty dictator ruining lives
I grab my pencil ready to fight.
We’re not in the dark ages anymore.
Nor are we still in the Old West.
We don’t slap on a pistol and go out
And put a bunch of lead into the pest.
So, I write down the words that I feel.
I call a snake-oil salesman what he is.
I carefully explain what a crook looks like
And show off the difference from a Wiz.
They may claim they’re an eagle today
If that is the delusion they are in.
But I will be quick to dispel such a lie
By pointing out the wattles on their chin.
Pigeons spread their droppings all over.
Dog likes to dig around in the dirt.
I have to point out the creeps in the world
Then take appropriate joy when they’re hurt.
My hope is the people that are fooled will see
They don’t have to sit and eat the lies.
They can stand up and ***** in the face
Of those who are criminals in disguise.
Tell any scoundrels exactly what they are
And let them know you are not fooled.
Don’t let them walk away feeling proud.
Make sure they’re appropriately schooled.
Knock any martinet off their pedestal.
Tell them you think they are a clown.
Don’t leave their ego in undented shape.
Then go on and kick them when they’re down.

I can only resist
for so long
challenge that which is
so strong
before my mind breaks
and age takes
what makes
all resistors great.
I can only be an insurgent
casting shadows of love
instead of waging raging
battles of blood
for so long before I am all gone.
Right or wrong but mostly right,
I can only fight this lonely fight
before the light fades
and I say goodbye to my
better days

You are the rain falling from the sky,
Serenading yourself off the shingled roof.
Though I have shelter, walls and a ceiling,
You trickle your way through the cracks.
An empty room gathers dust;
Snow collects in corners of windows;
And my resistance to you
Suffers from your irresistibility.

I can't breathe.
You're drowning me
I'm crying, screaming
While you're holding me
Why are you choosing someone like me
You're branding me, but I'm chaotic
Resistance. I've given up so just leave me be,
Cause all you're doing is just
Hurting me.

I won't cry about you.
I won't write about you.
And maybe you won't exist.

You finally gave in.
I could feel how tense you were;
How each nerve in your body felt-
Rejecting the situation against their will.
But then you gave in to yourself.
And then me.
You relaxed and your arm pulled in,
Pulling me with; you felt strong.
Your nose nudged the back of my head,
Making me smile into the dark.
You held me and the moment
As if it were the most important thing.
With each breath you took in
It filled the curve of my back,
And then I could breathe easy.
Because you finally gave in to us.

I am like a tree
Swaying with the wind
Resisting
But over time,
branches crack and fall
One by one
Eventually, I am left with nothing but the sound
of my body breaking
Crashing to the ground
