survival of the fittest
resilience in my blood

lights up
showtime
get in line
greatest show on earth
watch the birth
of the mood, of the moment
don’t mind the lights
it’s the story they tell
I know it well
you me together again
1 year on, 1 year off
it’s time for my heart to go soft
last time I come around
you want to know what I’ve found?
Peace

traveling from state to state
there’s no debate
dropping those draws
nameless and shameless
one life to live
can you give some grace?
I didn’t learn the right way
relationships never smooth they say
so I go from bed to bed
hoping to heal the dead
monotony inside of me
judge if you must
but trust I’m having a great time
or am I lying?

we take pills to heal
we breath to stay alive
we fuck to make babies
or make love, same diff
we stay in relationships
we are inauthentic to be liked
we know wrong but do it anyway
see the title of this poem.

can it start
getting out of the dark
wake up and get out of bed
it’s rarely said
life is easy
for some.

Fast forward to when I have peace
the least of my problems
is fear
no dear, I don’t want the trauma
of overthinking, situations
that’ll never happen.
I wanna let it go
I wanna just be like the title.

opening up my heart
to start
inviting lovely lust in
©️MarcusCaesar

I aim to be
free from chains
where only joy remains
©️MarcusCaesar

come one come all
we are about to have a ball
love who you want
wear what makes you feel good
here it’s all about you feeling good
open the curtain
the show has started now
hopefully when you’re old and tired
then take a bow.
©️MarcusCaesar

you know when you feel different
look different and hope different
life’s not a joke and you hope
that change will come?
you master the everyday
hoping not to blow away
this is me
and I think
God, show me how good it can get!
