Feeling this pressure in my chest. Heart hurts with no rest Racing so fast. I feel it fall apart. Broken pieces on the floor. So I try to explore and turn back time and heal what's mine. Wondering if this can be fixed. But I guess broken pieces will never stick.

Broken Pieces
Life has its many high notes – a song of misery that works on itself, It’s its own company, inviting anyone to the party – _misery always invites company_ But the song of a friend’s love isn’t so loud – it’s __soft, reassuring,__ something to count on, to help you recall your worth – even if all you need _is their company_.

Company Kept
but, I think it's a brave thing to do, when you start something new. allowing the past to assist/not lead, admitting you're not the best/ but trying to be, therein lies true strength/ authentic humility. not to disrespect/ just to overcome, the need for perfection/ the rush to get it done. because in poetry we can say it, in any which way we want.

In Poetry We Say,
my dear, did you happen to know, the mountains don't stare at the trees, only the birds do so, the oceans do not wait for rivers to flow, before making waves out of ways the wind blows.

Rest? Where? Who? With her, but she's not there.

She is my rest,
I woke with too much purpose this morning. I swear it was me who split the dark sky open like pointed steel through wood. The sharp hack of existence hit when I visualized my wallet on the kitchen counter, leaning against that vase with the snake on it. Second in line at the grocery store, cart overflowing.

aging in deceit
I grew up in a family Where there was more questions than outcomes. The pain numbing me for a change to come Learning from the gist of things. I still feel from all my learning I am not the brightest but far from dumb I am not going to fail my son Trials in traveling I am facing everything I am in need to become. They pray and they plot My soul will not rot I am going to the top Sit back and watch. Get in the way. Get dropped. Albums coming in stock. Stories will hit the block. Don't test me. I lost a lot. None of it's fake it's no mirage. Mirror me back, and blend in without camouflage I go hard as Smith You will get Rocked. I will steal my own life before you take all I got Nah I never stop. Never feared any op You over here looking lost. Fools think I'm soft. You just full of talk You wanna go with me? We gonna run through roadblocks. You ain't ready to walk Don't make yourself a mark. I'm silent as the dark. Quarrels with my absent counterpart. Obliterate. I am shattering your mind from a far. I burn with the shine of a star. I got the key for you if you lacking the heart. Reminder to my child make the moves that are smart! Real talk.

My love is a Wednesday morning His love is a hug from small hands But you can't hug a day And small hands can't cook breakfast

Our Love
Fish needs to be frozen maintaining its freshness. To defrost will make it rot. The same as with feelings.
