Do not presume the future,
because you cannot see it.
Don't live in the past because it has no purpose now.
Don't trace the paths
of how you got here,
they twist around too many questions
and take your time to ponder,
so don't waste yourself.
It is over. You are now.
Appreciate this fact alone,
and appreciate who you have become.
The present is the only thing that matters,
it is the only thing that is tangible.
Stay uncomfortable.
Keep moving.
Your only job is to maintain
your happiness and motivation

This is a different pain

It wells up from the gut
and it fills the chest with an empty void.
The lungs stutter
and struggle to fight
against this demon annoyed.
As it grasps the glottis and squeezes tight
it pushes through the eyes.
It injects the body with loneliness.
It feeds on memories prized.
It swallows those that were negative
and the good ones are revised
to include the painful rising
of this choking demon's lies.
It collects all your hope
and your motivation to prescribe
to yourself, a better being.
It crushes them inside
your heart
to make sure you know it rides
with every thought,
with every image.
I enjoy observing beauty.
I like to make sure it's nuances are appreciated.
I wish for others to feel the joy it brings me.
I dream of a time that the world will be seen
by others
in similar colour and clarity.
I wish these images I interpret
would pass along unbroken, but when I speak,
I mince my values,
and entangle this vista's fabric
around my struggling soul.
And I forgot that no one cares.
And I forgot that I do.
And I forgot to consider what it was I believe,
and now it's like I never knew.
Because I designed the results.
And I subconsciously grew
towards my underlying desires
that my soul mistook for truths.

The Path of Least Resistance
The middle road holds naught.
That's its point.
The path of least resistance
is innately friction free.
While we strive to break
our stress's joints,
we unknowingly hold
our stress's being
within our wants and needs.
The life of beauty
we can conceive is finite.
Always and forever is it dying.
Our need for it to flourish
defines our soul's wanton flight;
but our eyes for inner peace are crying.
Our screams for ease
seem truthful -
but they're also lying.
Our sight of beauty shows us
the paths toward our own ends.
And while we sink into oblivion,
universally,
we solely send
requests for confirmation that

Oh God, the design…
the design through which
we dream to meet
the pinnacle of peaks.
The valley floors stay lush and green
while the mountainside exposes bone,
The backwards lie
of these echoed themes,
brings the need, and the fear,
to roam.
The urge to climb exists, it seems
for reasons yet unknown.
The visions were had, the contenders seek
their movement upward,
towards the goal,
faithfully faceless unto the peak.
To arrive; some young, some old.
All gasping for air in the final light,
before all that remains
of earth is flight.
To make it there in life
is to be one upon two roads.

I forgot about them..
But she says it's not about me.
This fact I've understood forever it seems.
But what I think,
and what she thinks it means,
developed isolated
until we entered
this particular dream.
I hope that I can understand her.
I hope one day she sees
that all I want is to love her.
I don't need much for me.
I want our souls to intertwine -
But I want hers to feel free -
I want to share an eagerness
to share the exploration of our dream

Strangers on a streetcar
The man arose,
His interest peaked
From a topic abounding about
the streetcar.
The topic was shared to all en route
in amplitudes seemingly over estimated-
even for the present grounds.
Eyebrows arose
all around, but for different reasons.
Some were risen due to shock.
The rest were peaked in interest.
Some just stayed put and observed.
Others furrowed deeper still
into personal issues.
The streetcar got a little warmer feeling
In spite of the present climate.
The man stood ready.
He was captured by the topic,
and his voice joined in the broadcast
almost at a comparable volume.

I drum when I am bored.
Mostly on my pockets,
the setup isn’t the same,
but the feeling is just about.
I drum when I’m stressed,
when I’m listening,
when I’m reading,
when I’m riding the bus,
when I’m watching TV.
When I’m listening to music,
obviously,
I drum.
When my mind -
which is a crashing ride
splashed with constant rolls
in the worst of time,
at the best of times -
when it needs to break,
it sorts the constant noise
into rhythm
and as it quakes through my body
the sudden buildup
reaches peaks of
patterned breakdown
into calm:
forever noisy,
but that’s the joy.
