Untitled I

The beauty of the day enraptures me
we are so blessed to be here.
Yet so many of us continue to destroy -
it remains a choice to be had.

I, too, am no angel or enchantress-
at least not all the time.
But there is something to be said about
what it is that we have here.

We are alive and control the outcome-
The masters of our own universe.
Seeing so much bloodshed,
and all the destruction in this world-
angers me and it makes me sad.

I suck in my nicotine and
put butter on my bread
Knowing the consequences-
and not paying no mind-
I couldn't even tell you why.

This self destruction spreads
like cancer in so many of us-
each with their own vice-
fighting their own inner war.

My heart is like a wildfire-
burning out of control.
In search of that necessary balance-
deep within my soul.

Untitled II

There are so many changes going on
all at once-
these changes in life-
they happen all the time.

Still I find myself wondering, what if?
Or pondering, what will be-
Only to find those questions maddening.

Life is.
And will always be.
