the why’s

i challenge myself

30 days here, 30 days there

keep my writing muscles firm

that’s how I learn

what I do like and what I don’t

the likes on the post, won’t

deter me or steer me in a direction

I don’t wanna go

that’s if you wondered

now you know.

there’s more 👀👀

we’re here

who is we?

I’m still trying to find my way

still?

I thought I had it but shit happened

you still stepping right?

I’m over 40 and not the greatest

well shit, not many are. What else?

I want to know love

ok, do you love yourself?

sometimes

and?

There’s work to do I know

I’m here and I’m never leaving

no question mark needed.

nobody did it better

your birthday just passed

and it made me laugh

that my dad said you wasn’t his favorite

I said man you crazy

you must be in a daze

cause that voice is one in a million

thank you for the songs

and sharing your gift

I hope to discover mines soon

make this life worth living.

rest well

I’m not okay ?

the phone is not charged

no music

my twin looks great with braids

i have no hair

that Chinese food dinner i was craving

streaming service got the money early

that beautiful man with a nice smile

just opened the door for his wife

my favorite white T-Shirt

mistakenly washed with the color clothes

that kid I couldn’t wait to have

just painted my living room with chalk

I’m going to take a nap in the car on DND

because I’ll be better than ok.

don’t think about it, ok?

Okay, hear me out. What if your favorite sports hero is gay or bi. What exactly would change for you heterosexual manly man?

Not a damn thing!

The world is big and vast and some of your heroes may like their dick and ass big and vast but I digress.

They don’t owe you nothing!

…but how about just taking them as they are? Extremely talented athletes who are doing what they love. Not for you and not for me, but because the feeling of doing it trumps all.

Shit, trump has nothing to do with this.

Back to my point or did I have one? What’s yours?

Food for thought….

Carousel

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

brotherhood of the traveling drawls

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?
