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.

I should be happy
bills paid, lil money in the bank
but I don’t feel like I’m living.
existing, yes
universe, do you need a pencil sharpener?

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.

full length mirror
gotta do better
didn’t like what I saw
feeling raw.

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.

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.

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!
©️MarcusCaesar
these days blend together
most of them not good
is it my chosen path
or where I want to go
i don’t know
©️MarcusCaesar
the days can be long
the feelings can be treacherous
but at the end, you lived.
©️MarcusCaesar
looking up
after being down so long
get off the phone
only comparisons lurk
when will I learn?
