we try so hard to not be the parts of us we wish weren't us.

little do we know we can become who we want with what we have.
Tyler Apr 2022
i say things that others would say.
the others that wish to tear you down.
i know i have positive intent instead.
to push you to strive above.
to a grander image i see in you.
i base that higher entity all in reality, all of the healthy
and the unhealthy.
I admit ive been selfish in that acquisition of that greater image.
on what I wanted or felt needed from you too.
not just based on what I saw of you.
to go completely selfless is to lose one's self.
the sad truth is if it kills your identity too large, i will seek to love you under different terms, different definitions.
no longer will i allow either of us to suffer in cycles, when we know we want wants best for eachother.

I ATTRACT THE BROKEN
THE DAMAGED
THE ABUSED
AND I TRY MY HARDEST TO KISS
EVERY WOUND AND BE THE FRIEND

THE SELF HARMED,
THE ABSENT PARENTS,
THE MENTALLY ******,
THE BEATEN,
THE WAR-FILLED MEMOIRS,
THE ONES TAKEN ADVANTAGE
OF, MENTALLY, SPIRITUALLY, OR PHYSICALLY,
THE PREJUDICED.
I WILL GO TO MY LAST BREATH TO LEAVE THIS WORLD BETTER AND BRIGHTER THAN I HAVE FOUND IT.

i am insanely privileged
by my position,
by my status,
by my race,
but mostly
by my experience.

raising others
to their potential
fills me with the largest
sense of fufillment.
Tyler Apr 2022
in a model of a family,
i might have been the big brother
who failed his little sister,
so much she swore me off.

maybe it is impossible to make right by you.
the best ive found i can do is give time
and hope to god.

we are cursed people, i've found out,
but we overcome.
the mind so in tune with the thought of another, did we switch places, just to see?

nothing is over until we perish, then, we are free.
i don't pray for that day
i hope to use all this body gives to me
until it finally gives out.

Tyler Apr 2022
I GOT EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED FROM
THE PANDEMIC.
ISOLATION,
THE MISERY,
SUFERING,
I KNEW WOULD GROW
ME INTO A GREATER MAN.
TO LEAD THE ONES WHO COULD NOT STEP TO. FOR I LOVED THEM MORE THAN MYSELF. FOR THEY ARE ME AS MUCH AS I THEM.

I CAPTURED AND TOOK
ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPURTUNITY.
FROM IT, I HOPE
I AM GIFTED PROSPERITY AS
WELL AS THE LOVE I HAD ALREADY GAINED FROM IT.
THE LOVE I WANTED, I GOT, FROM MYSELF.
POSSIBLY FROM WHAT GOD GAVE ME.
GROWING PAST THOSE BARRIERS
GROWS PAST THE ARROGANT
AND THE UNKNOWING IGNORANT.


I KNOW I AM WORTHY OF THE LOVE
BECAUSE I WOULD GIVE AS
MUCH AS I CAN OR COULD AWAY TO SOMEONE IN NEED.
I KNOW ANYONE IS WORTHY OF THE LOVE, AS I AM.

YOU ARE THE MILITANT ALL-KNOWING JUDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL?
DID YOU EAT THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT THAT TOLD YOU SUCH?
I GUESS IT TRUELY IS OUR ORIGINAL SIN FOR A REASON.

THE DEVIL LURKS IN OUR SOCIETAL CONSTRUCTION.
QUESTION EVERYTHING.
even he could possibly be forgiven one day.
if time were unlimited, i only hope.

i was in a terrible dark place
among unknown terrors
and i held on so tight
i suffocated you.
i don't apologize for it.
i apologize for not being more for you in hard times; i had to strengthen and decipher the hieroglyphs of emotion.
and i hope you'd forgive me, for not listening in my survival instinct, for i know how much i can be for you now, listening so closely to your heart that it seemed everyone else passed by.

dance:
Tyler Apr 2022
my sister's marital love defined dance to me.
a young child putting every ounce of all his frustrated confusing pain into an astonishing life full groove,
channelling loss into beauty.

my failed love, i gifted you
a part of that soulful movement,
hooked by my confidence and
the love we were to give and understand together.
and together we did until
we stepped too ******* eachother's toes.
all his hurt from his grown heart, her sweetness from her, that now switched to her sour, and the power she pressed on the cracks shall be how i break dance.

my best friend, you added boats to that monument.
i fell into your dream
textbook revaluation
of reality.
all his complicated feelings
held so tender, in stillness
like they were heaven-sent
accomplishments to only overcome.

my best friend, hold her tight.
she deserves it just as much as me, our broken hearts had reel from the same grief. the sad truth i know, i can take this alone.
we danced until we couldn't.
in time, i'd gladly take your hands for any last dance, if you are in looking for a partner.

THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS,
AND, BY GOD,
YOU WITHOLD AND SHARE ALL THE RIGHT ONES TO DEMONIZE ME.

DARE I DEFAME YOU AS YOU DID ME?
NO.
SACREDNESS IS ABOVE ALL.
YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.
AS I APOLOGIZED FOR EVERYTHING
AND IT SEEMS ANYTHING;
FOR SOME WERE NOT MERITTED,
THAT IS MY ISSUE.
PEDDLE THE BLAME, WHY NOT?

THERE IS NO APOLOGY I CAN TAKE THAT COULD ILLICIT MY FORGIVENESS OF YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS OF MY LOVE.
SO YOU BETTER GET RIGHT WITH YOUR GOD.
FOR THEY KNOW.

AND MY BROKEN HEART SCREAMS IN THE SILENCE OF TEXT
KNOWING THAT THIS IS BEYOND YOUR LONE FAULT.

without discussion,
how am I to know if they impact negatively?

i am not a mind reader.
and if you read my words,
how will i know which way?

i only see love and preach my honesty.
love can hurt, and i do not wish that on anyone.

INVIGORATE MY SOUL
WITH THE POWER TO
PRESS ON TO SPREAD
MESSAGES OF GRACE

TIMES TO COME.

I WILL NEVER GIVE UP ON THESE VALUES. MY FAMILY IN HEART, THEY PUT ALL THEIR FAITH IN ME. I WON'T WASTE A SINGLE DROP ON THE ROAD TO MY SACRIFICIAL SACRAMENT.

BRING ON THE FLAMES OF REALITY.
THE SHAME. THE EVIL.
EVERY SINGLE DARK PART AND ITS CONSEQUENCE OF THE COST OF OUR IGNORANT HUMAN SOUL.
LIGHT SURELY WILL TRIUMPH.
I TAKE A LEAP INTO THE DANGER KNOWING FULL WELL IT MIGHT TAKE

I WILL GIVE EVERY LAST OUNCE

killing urge
Tyler Apr 2022
when depression strikes,
i'd rather hold that weight to myself
than harm others under that unlimited upending pressure.

releasing it in power, like a bully, only makes it worse.
releasing it slowly, with a guiding healing hand, made it better.
that hand lost, i miss it, but it is no worse than before.

there's some riddle here.
why did i never realize i loved you ad much as i did.
until the message of a story of the ocean hit so home.
should i confess my feelings as they did?
is it a day late, a dollar short?
i have so many questions.

the first is, how did i hurt you so much to warrant you gone?
i tried every single thing to not allow that to happen, it was my largest nightmare, i would, and will, sacrifice every single thing against you gone, yet it still happened.

i am still left wondering, why?

turtle
Tyler Apr 2022
rushing tumbling at the heart of the sea.
how long have I since been ****** down, rumbling, toughening, by the ocean's regrets?
waves of disapproval. waves my face crashed through.
stronger. stronger. stronger.
the pressure made me.
I finally headbutted the floor, but it wasn't enough.

tsunami caused behind me;
I dig to the core.
hurricane of emotion;
I caused boats to overturn.
something singing terrorizing songs against me;
the current I swim into.

a buoy I could be,
the anchor I must.

dont get pulled by the riptide,
grab me by my shell,
I shall be your sea turtle,
in me, do you trust?

it is a hammer
vibrating,
electrocuting
me slowly to death.

II. clock ticks

when did i become so alone?
when did the trials of my mind
leak and weaken my chest,
like some cancer?    

no cure
for a broken heart.
no task,
will satiate
this true loneliness.

i am young
and yet i will weep
for decades
from the loss of you.

i am young,
yet impatiently listen
for death's note,
the freedom, the yearning goodness, of my soul's true home.

my entire life would feel complete
if you did nothing but embrace me.

my tears of millenia

would release. all my tension, depression, dark thoughts

would be nothing to your starry glory.
i hope to reflect that same warmth
in any dreary snow-storm.
your cloudy wear.

i love the person you are
more than i have ever
loved another.
i see you in the puddles or
a flower, or a rainbow.

a kiss would **** me
and i could be born anew.
