“All I Have To Offer You Is Everything In Me.”

And then shawarma after?

“Never apologize for burning too brightly or collapsing into yourself every night. That is how galaxies are made.”

— Tyler Kent White

Seeing the leaves fall down,

Seeing the cold seep through the walls,

To feel the rain pour down,

To feel the rays beat your skin.

As the ground trembles,

As your legs waver,

As the blood seeps through the wounds,

To the cracks they fester.

To be renewed outside,

But be in shambles inside,

Sometimes to feel pain,

To feel the extreme is what keeps you remain.

You smell it before you see it,

You can feel the metallic taste.

For your matters to turn from white to grey,

A look in the mirror is what makes you stare.

Stare in the face of clear,

Stare to the look that glares,

Your self destruction is near,

Without your awares.

Breaking Waves

See the water receding back into the endless abyss

Feel the pull as it gathers strengths in the thousands

Tiny waves coalescing into one

Before it breaks upon the immovable cliff face

Nothing less will make a difference

But something as grand is only mutable

Until the edges are worn by the relentlessness

As the mineral is shaved away by the layers

To not be seen and understood

Until the final blow is dealt

The consequence becomes too shocking

For the cliff rooted in its position

More than a chip off the shoulder

A gaping hole of what once was

The water surrounding the broken piece

Consuming whole the bitterness of old

There is a time for traditions

But there is also time for change

To not allow the growth of all things

Is to let them be enraged

Epiphany

How fast the wind blows

Past the trees a time ago

When we saw our dreams so true

But now we have had to go

The kaleidoscope that once shone through

Our very souls and eyes

With time flown by our every steps

This life has bid goodbye

For the road we travelled on

Fell away beneath our feet

It had been paved for many years

The gravel, now ash of bittersweet

Now it is clearly understood

Our fate was not to cross

For now our selves are shattered

Seems everything is gone

Maybe it was for the best

Separate roots to break through

For divided, I can confess

The worst of me is subdued

You were my blanket

Something I already knew

But the world out there is different

Needing a resilient me to debut

Me trying to follow a seminar outside of my field...

Q: How do you stay normal?

B: I don’t know if we do stay normal … we try.

A: I’ve never been normal.

R: We’re not normal.

Cannot draw hair for the life of me...

Life

If you know, you know!

Graduation

The seasons have frosted over into blooms,

The lights are getting brighter,

The stage looming near.

This cap a heavy weight,

The toils and joys I want to share,

The paper weight of all I've fared.

My zealous heart was ready to spring,

To bask in the moment with you,

But you're not here with me.

Yearning for the hold that I miss,

Your memories I hold dear,

So I'll see you in the crowds with my heart gaping.
