This was bullshit.
Pardon my French, but seriously? I tell my mother I'm atheist, and what is her solution?
Take me to confession.
"It'll be good for you, sweetie!" she'd said. "It'll help you find God!" not two seconds after she said this, my dad excused himself to go smoke a joint in front of the church. Exhibit A of how ignorant my mother is of her surroundings.
Exhibit B is her leaving to go have dinner with a group of church ladies and expecting me to be in her confessing to a God I don't believe in.
Having God shoved down my throat is not going to make me believe in Him. First off, it'll make me vomit, second off, it's going to mak
From time to time
I get lost in my words,
Trying to differentiate,
My meanings from the birds,
I mean, the herds,
The group of people speaking in my head.
What’s the difference between a daydream and sleeping in bed.
See, I decided that all is reality,
But I’m considered crazy,
Because of my duality.
We have one reality in multiple existences.
One instance is my daydream.
Where my day seems great,
Until I hear those may screams.
The train passing by, not the rain dropping,
Or it’s just mixed, where people are screaming,
Because trains are falling out the sky,
Like rain drops and the main plot,
Is to hit me, how harsh.
Just
when we join the stars
they fill the holes
in both our
bodies and pasts
with light,
healing all scars
and starless skies
from memory
and the dense
fog of pride

it has no place

the cycle, our feet
displaced

presenting a new (old)

another us,
our children, or
a stranger-
all difference (of) being
merely a construct
of life below the filter
and when up
from the ill-fit
of earth feet, we rise
we hang our love
and life above
as stars, to light

Hug and embrace
Smile and sadness
Rain in white noise
Fall in gladness
Empty lessons
Learn and linger
Where no waiting
Will be clearer
On drives the potholes grow
On roads the weeds will break
Green trivial, impending still
On time to have to wait
Look and watching
Think and search for
Pebbles rattle
With the shell shore
Creatures younger
From their faithless
Quest of coming
Close to bliss
On tides the lather swells
On murk the table drowns
Old charts die, curl and fade
On winds their whispers are found
On visions mayhap be
On slides the image bends
To replicate, bring back to life
On memories we mend

COLD
What is cold?
Is it the absence of fire,
When the skin turns blue
And the mind is racked with desire,
For it's amber glow?
Is it getting stuck
In the darkness and the rain,
Water slowly seeping in,
Head pounding with the pain,
Under the storm's fury?
But cold is the feeling
Of being alone in a crowded room
When a play is over and
There's the ordeal of going home
To an empty house
When the music stops,
And the people have all left.
The stage is deserted
Cloaked in a silence that clefts
Your heart with the knowledge
That no one cares
If you live or if you die
And no one's there
To hear you when you cry
In the silence of the night.
