Living frantically Trying to manage my manic need To keep up fantasies American dream vanity I keep what can't be seen My damaged seams If I don't show that skin It may vanish like tannery But blending in instead leads To panicking To every candid happenstance Against my planned conceit In reality Living concealed is insanity Being human comes with wounds Accrued from the usual calamity No ones immune don't refute it It's mutually earned Yourself and others Hard truths are duly discovered Bruised and battered You move forward To get through the dust storm to cover Until other tribulations emerge Learn to fail or fail to learn Wear scars like brail to interpret Your hurts Each one reads that courage occurred.

Take Loving Action
The ancestor to action is intention Collection of willingness Optimism, and reverence Ones sense of self in reference To connection Acceptance to the world It really in't against us Theres no preemptive malevolence Except the misperception of fears invented Apprehension instead of essence Of wherever our heart is destined When we pressure and force variables It only takes a toll on our own Coronary arteriole Tearing holes in flow We don't know the endgame For us to impede what we fear May be impending That's insane Each day is a sensei to teach us Heed the struggle and tedium Continually meet each with love
Go Far
Forgive yourself For you live with yourself Dismiss past tenseness And live for the now You have a perfectly Permissive disposition Exquisite distinction Individuality to fulfill in an instant Start to tell your heroes tale With your past avails to Passages to brave passed Himalayas to scale Castaway at seas to sail Gail force breeze wails Unyielding terrain Unequal travail Blazing desert plains Hypothermic glacial nights Accolades amass at you lap With each flag, each sight You keep riding Knightly dragons slain Castles made and break the same As you blaze with no blazon displayed Anomalous you remain Stardust rebond You belong across the sky You've already come so far.
Steadfast And Yet Relaxed
We don't know our own strength The toll we take From toes, legs, torso Abdo, throat, face The whole framework overstrained Over-paced behavior Whole array misshapen Til it erodes away Slowly frayed, flayed daily From greed and shame We retain Each bait we proceed to take Facebook, tweets, dm's Social media snakes Can leave a cheap Fleeting remark a screen away Harming the cohesion Our weave like yarn texture Our coat of arms tears apart Like polyester Mustn't fester Over the sorry folly of others The effort to judge Is much easier than to serve So rest assured And set forth the steps towards Your bettering incrementally Beckon those against that course.
Our Home
Why do we force the course, Of source, performing "reformance", Against the forms of nature, Natural organisms, Transforming terraform, Our born worldly existence, Insistent on controlling it, As if it's opposition, Consistent resistance is causing us, Chronic sickness, Dismissing authentic growth, Oblivious to it's ripple effects, It'll be a bitter pill instilled, When it comes time for swallowing, Our life energy starved, From gobbling up with gluttony, We'll swallow it like arsenic, Poison, toxic biotics, What it causes, Honestly we're probably already absorbing, Absolving all of us, We got the disease of disregard, The earth wants us, To be a part of it in all of it's art, Heartily we must accept, Our connection, Acknowledging our extension, And pledge to better our collective residence.
You’re The Balance
Nothing is forever Impermanence is the only Certainly doesn't serve to be Immersed gripped in holding It isn't worth it There was never a time it was perfect There surely won't be Let your imperfections surface You're doing nothing wrong You haven't lost some charm Some spotless quality To be everything to everybody As you shouldn't be You are who you are Flaunt it unguarded In stark self homage It connects us all Whether we're aware of it or not Subconscious, unconcious Authentic embodiment bonds us We all long to shout it So don't doubt it or shroud it Be proud with the gifts You have to give boundless It balances our assorted Absorption distortion Against majority proportion Enforcement What lay dormant before You were contorted With what others told you Deemed more important Your core knows for sure That tingle in your pours When you adoringly feel Love for self be restored
