and it’ll be as if it never happened. and it’ll all fade away. days and months and years and nothing will be the same. maybe you’ll be older and wiser maybe you’ll be kinder and it’ll all be a bad dream something to shake you up from your sleep and it’ll leave you to wonder was it even real? have i no wounds to heal? the scars will thicken over it’ll be brand new again you’ll forget of love and war and you will never mend the tiny fracture in your armor will create the same salt somber that somewhere your heart is thieved that somewhere, within me, your heart, it grieves.

grieve somewhere in me
what is it to be 40 twice the man, you were at twenty? four times the man, you were at ten? is it being wiser and having your means meet the end? finances sured up? with no need, for to be the miser a divorce or some perhaps a strong marriage polyamorous loves to your heart's desire addictions? vices? troubles stifling? death breathing down your neck to the thumping of your heartbeat beads of sweat, gather and run off your chest like your shoes on the concrete you are dying even while you're living and you know one day it'll be your last cause we only get so long and time goes fast a baby is born the next afternoon an old man is buried tomorrow could never come would you ever know it?

Look, grand pa, that yoostbe a mega mall. At the edge of paradise, just there, where those sunflowers, and mustards are making little canyons for trickles to form rills and eventually, streams to carry away all that water can dissolve, though, if I fret I can wonder at where the asphalt pitch will be, it being hydrophobic, insoluble unless we get some more acid rain, -- yeah, that might work over time. the tower in Babel was mortared with bitumen, what did the destruction of that edifice of mud pollute? Nevermind, all the empty malls shall make fine villages, and where the parking lot was, there will be a meadow of the sort seen where green is given back hope, wait… do you imagine the earth can groan? do green things hope? do they grow happy or are they statelessly happening, verily being the hypostatic form of homeostasis in the pursuit of life for life's sake, slightly weighted toward happy state expecting good, so for common sense, we use the colors common to life's attractors green means go red is stop… straight edges, where nothing grows, those say stop, look and listen ? we all know the warning signs, or do we get those in lessons along the way, along the way of course, I knew, I was testing you. once the course is mapped though, then we must learn the way, before we may go outside and play, that was different when I was a child, then I thought readily as a child, with no need of grand kids to remind me, this is 2020, but some things never change.

My skin gets thicker every time the world strikes me with a backhand blow. My bones strengthen every time someone I love disappears without warning. My heart beats more insistently at every attempt someone makes to tear it out. My soul grows deeper with every ounce of pain that cycles through my being. Every time the world tries to crush me to its core, I generate resilience. My mind becomes wiser. It takes a certain amount of pain to make a person better. For, in order to rise, you must first be knocked to the ground.

I'm starting to question What is family? What does that word really mean? Thought I knew the definition Contradicting what evidence I've seen As kids are told that our parents have the answers Zero reason to believe otherwise We trust, obey, and rely on them They nurture us with lies Like "We do not have a favorite child" "We love you and your brother the same" You'd rank two different colors equally As long as sharing a similar name? The words, stories, and advice passed along From elders through the years Vague clique anecdotes To pacify our fears But we cannot be anything we want We aren't perfect just the way we are Wish my mother had warned me Some goals are just too far We try hard to make them proud Opinions matter so much You grow up and realize Flawed they are so you lose touch Honor mother and father Commandment known to all Guess the Bible's author never shared his With pills or a bottle of alcohol Blood thicker than water? Sayings a joke to me Thinner than sheets of paper About the same transparency Family above everything I dont think that's fair Sick of putting people first When they don't seem to care Relatives are supposed to lend a hand Express unjudgmental support Every time I need help from them Always somehow come up short Hastily taking others sides No matter what arguments about Assuming I must be totally wrong They refuse to hear me out Unconditional love I will always have That doesn't equal unconditional respect Don't extend the same courtesy to me What do they expect? I have friends treat me better Than own relatives Who don't hold over my head Favors or gifts she/he gives My parents jealous of my boyfriend They refuse to understand I always put him first Against them take stand Maybe because he strives every day Does all he can just to see me smile Isn't perfect But when it counts, He will go the extra mile They do not care about my happiness In fact The last thing on their list Just want to control me Push away but they persist My brother thinks he is superior Lecturing how I should live the right way Disagree with a few of his own life choices The difference is I don't say I will always be there for them when I can Even though they aren't always there for me Mom and Dad sure set great examples Examples of what NOT to be Family is a meaningless word I learned that long ago Just because someone created your life Does not mean to them your life you owe I know they love me as I love them It's difficult to see The messed up **** they do Is because they care for me But the word "family" lost meaning The older (and wiser) I became Now only really matters When referring to last name

Note 67: You'll fall
Carry your scars with pride, not shame. What are scars, but proof you’ve survived your wounds, for wounds carry no scars, only blood. What are scars, but gold stars for lessons presented and conquered. What are scars, but evidence you’ve overcome life’s most difficult obstacles. What are scars, but proof of your success, leaving you not broken but wiser.

Scars
I saw you today.. By accident.. Caught me off guard.. Wasen't expecting it.. You looked the same.. Head deep into your phone.. Unaware of what's going on around you.. Restored friendships... With whom you hated... All because I left you alone.. And all because you cant stand... To be alone... Cant say I'm surprised.. You were always high school.. All pom poms on game day.. All talk.. Loose lipped... Knowing nothing of loyalty.. Starved for attention.. Mouth running constantly... To whoever would listen.. Always kind of wide eyed.. And not really there... Yea... Nothings changed... Your still the same... What can I say though.. I have no regrets... Walking away... From a ****** up friendship.. You did me so ***** Like we were in high school.. And if you hadn't noticed... I graduated years ago.. The life you choose to live with you and your kids... Just isn't okay with me anymore.. You hang out with 21 year olds... Girl, your 30... Your Regina George's mom.. Quit playin... This **** isn't funny... I hope you invest all your.. "Extra time" into your kids.. They need you... I'll miss them.. Ill miss you.. I use to love you like a sis... But I grew up... I've outgrown your ******** I've hung up my gown and tassel... Its time for you to do the same..

40-Year Old Me
The older we get the wiser we're supposed to become, such is the general result of experience in life for some. But with age there's also the prospect of the deterioration of health and the wisdom that's gained is used to maintain the body by stealth. _____________________________

Quatrain #275 - The older we get.....
At midnight I was mid breath in a new day It felt like more than a year of stay and wait I called a stalemate with this time in my life and here was a day to celebrate? So I exhaled in a new year It became clear it was only new for me with the news that's on T.V. There must be a reason that I just can't see Something to steer me and drive me along It materialized there while they all sang the song I am alive and that is enough My family is here and I am well loved It came in the form of a pair of beige sandals I breathed in and blew out the candles

*Life Is bad It throws Many worse situations In whatever path we take Sometimes We feel So weak, powerless Fragile, exhausted, spent, hesitant In front of those situations But The only Intention of them Is to make you Stronger, wiser, mightier and better It Is your Test of life We all have to Go through and top them So Stand up No matter how Or why you fall Fight and become better you And One day Life will lose Seeing your brave heart Bowing in front of you*

fictitious
what i say
 i mean with the kindest of hearts 
my love
 is often mistaken for hate 
because sometimes my visions spill out of my mouth when i see the life you’re trying to create
 just take 
 a look 
but don’t look with your eyes 
your eyes can’t see when your mind starts to fly what i say
 i say with an authority i shouldn’t have 
 inhibition delivering me to my very well deserved state 
teenage dream
 but the dreams i have are controlled chaos 
 nightmares that twist my rib cage towards the so desired truth what i say 
is the result of you trying to bleach me 
teach me the truth that was passed down to greet me
 wash me of my secret maturity 
because its rude to stand up for what i believe in 
if what i believe in
 is on the opposite end of a person over five years older than me what i say 
 is more than an everyday opinion 
 i have washed that word from my vocabulary 
 and protested it to no end what i say 
is not the result of the lack of thinking 
it’s the result of admitting that the lack of thinking created this mess that we call
 freedom of speech and i know a little more of what it’s like 
to become an object of a proven point
 when your point has been proven by others 
and you have to sharpen the edges for it to be seen as the same words
 and i don’t know every scripture 
but i know that God is love 
so why are those three words seen differently on Sunday morning out of a preachers mouth? and i’m no republican (sorry daddy) but i know my God given rights my country given rights and my self given rights
 but i no longer see that integrity in the cops we throw outside
 and i dare say 
i am afraid of the american flag
 because the fabric is being held against our mouths 
silencing us by giving us freedom
 but if i brought these things up to you 
 you wouldn’t understand 
because you take part in the war 
and don’t feel the land and it’s plans 70% of the people i know could tell me i’m wise 
but when the time comes to talk i gotta sit on the sidelines and watch people potentially ruin their lives 
 because i’m 13 
all i have to worry about are friendships 
 and lies 
and homework 
 and guys 
and i’m not downplaying these things
 i’m just saying
 a lot of adults have signed me up for wars
 and told me i’m not ready for the training
 but hey
 what do i know
 i’m only 13
 but just because a cut is small
 doesn’t mean it won’t bleed
 and experience means nothing without integrity 
 which is better than anything you could ever teach so when i speak
 someone is bound to listen to me
 and to that one random person 
 who i’ll probably never meet
 thank you
for being a part of the solution
 despite the fact 
that we’re only 13 and in case you were wondering about the other 30
 in the percentage above **
it’s my family**
