Not a
Thing
Everything has a label now. Not saying this is a bad thing. Just an observation.
London Paris Jan 26
I tasted eternity in your kiss
And now,
I’m dying a slow death
in the embrace of curiosity.
And I thought,
I was immune.
London Paris Jan 25
Is simply learning to allow yourself
the freedom to be everything you are made to be tempered by emotional discipline and grace.

Is making the choice to not build a life
you don’t need to regularly escape from.


Is to learn how to remove the mask
And spit out the flesh of fear
For it is too **** hard to chew
And even harder to swallow.

Is to be
who you were born to be

YOU
London Paris Jan 24
I don't write
to forget my problems
nor to pretend that
all stars are
glistening for me
I write
to let you know
that you too
can break free
from the ugliest things
that dominate you
within your head.

My daddy—he once told me
don’t ever play with nuns
they’ll hit you with their rulers
it won’t be any fun

I snuck out of that prison
and now I’m on the run

Once freed from that schoolhouse
I sunbathed in the sun
I stayed out late, I went on dates
looking out for number-one

When I think of what I went through
of all the tired repressive lies
I keep running wise, in slick disguise
my purpose is renewed

Don’t ever let ‘em tell you
you can’t have any fun
If they preach that hackneyed drivel
grab some things and run
.
.

I'm Still Standing by Elton John
BLT Merriam Webster word of the day challenge 01/15/25:
hackneyed = uninteresting, unfun, dull and unoriginal.

*stolen almost directly, in spirit anyway, from that freewheeling rebel, Johnny Cash

My first 8 years of school were parochial

(**PIC**) what three days back at college will do to you.
London Paris Jan 23
Like a fool in lust
Gazing at the same star
In the middle of night
Is good enough for me.
  
I see you
