growing up queer
didn’t see many like me around
is that why pictures from the past were of a frown?
the times have changed, thank god for that.
love to see it, the new generation
living and loving.

you can put make-up on it
you can drink it away
you can be bi, straight or gay
the vessel is the same
learning to live in the now
not circle the drain
i want to forget my pain
©️MarcusCaesar

so close to my dreams
can’t get close enough it seems
circling the pipes
nights I stay up
lonely, but don’t give a fuck
please inspire me
don’t know who I’m talking to
just hoped the message come through
I’m drained
need some relief.

this was the day
plans were made
you betrayed my heart
not okay
this was the day
we are to say our vows
how did I not see this before?
My life isn’t over
I wont shoulder this disaster
on my own
What does this mean?
I’m keen on letting you figure it out

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.

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.

Sometimes 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.
-Unknown
Try 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.
-Ernest Hemingway
Nobody 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

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.
