Some days, you think you can figure it all out, you know… Find answers to still unasked questions Some days. Sometimes, you think you know. Even when you’re having difficulty distinguishing thought from feeling. And those days seem easier. Limbo, while “free-spirited” really is no fun. It restrains you, from control; leaves you inquiring . . . about your very own life, So why? Why then do you struggle to create your way, instead of finding it? Why, then, is the grass equivalently green – or not so? Which is worse, and what’s the difference? Some days you drown yourself in the residual waters of disappointment To avoid the purified droppings of hope . . . because . . . Hope, is an unasked question. and you’re still searching. seeking. Answers.

Twenty two years ago I already knew I’d run to you. Love. I didn’t know I’d be running from, too. Who keeps teaching us that we need relationships to accentuate our greatness?

They’d frame it lack of trying that in just days you’re dying but I swear it ain’t neglect, so I’m asking. Please. Transform. ‘For a rose by any other name still smells as sweet.’ I beg the scent of your love to last closer to forever. Don’t deny the son’s rise. May He melt your leaves into potpourri.

It’s not you – My expectations are sky escaping. They stand upon their pointe, tip-toed scraping Disappointment. The lions and tigers I bear in my chest as I realize I’m not high. Feeling every claw clinch upon my breath, I fear the possibility that it’s my breast… …not the hearts in eyes that paint the truest image of who I am inside my chest that holds your interest. IF I could keep my head when all about me tornadoed believing the world is just fine without me, It would be… …But it isn’t. -it’s not me, Either.
