“Maybe I was reaching for authenticity through a funhouse mirror. I didn’t know. I just didn’t want to be who I was. It turns out that’s not a specific enough request.”
— R. Eric Thomas, Here For It(Amazon, Bookshop)

don’t forget my name
poetry
this poetry thang
gift from God
rough spots abound
my mind sees a clown
who would try this?
if the shoe fits
and the inspiration hits
go for it
don’t worry if no one reads it
likes or comments
maybe they’ll remember
your name.

meet the strong
poetry
everyday we get up
rise to the occasion
sometimes it’s amazing
until it’s not.
we try our best
put on our super-hero chest
fake it till you make it
the chain is stronger than you think
i realize everyday it’s how you think
thoughts become things
it’s time to think great thoughts
try it, it’s you.

what to do in the new year
life
nothing
breathe in the moment
stay present
will be all that I can be
but also give myself grace
playing in the face of adversity
I/We will survive.

quotesSometimes I sit and wish I could freeze time right where I am. That way I’ll never lose all of the lovely things that are around me. But time keeps going and things keep getting lost. But I’m still living because something new and beautiful is going to come around eventually and that right there is something to stick around for.

quotesTry to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep, really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough.

quotesNobody wants to do it- not real change, not soul change, not the painful molecular change required to truly become who you need to be. Nobody ever does real transformation for fun. Nobody ever does it on a dare. You do it only when your back is so far against the wall that you have no choice anymore.
-Elizabeth Gilbert

join me
poetry
this is the place
I lay my head
this is the best place
to receive head
you’re the best
I’m the best
seeing this room you know
what’s next
adults only
leave your phony
expectations elsewhere
I’m here to get you hard
and let down your guard
just a minute we need
protection.
