our lives are not dependent on chance
they are due to prior circumstance
and each day a choice is presented
to surrender, to falter
or to rise up, to conquer
the second requires intention
and purpose by extension
it requires being mindful
and getting in the flow
like the waxing crescent moon,
we must continuously yearn to grow
soon we will decide
why we are here
to live a life of passion?
to live a life of fear?
each day is a chance
to change our circumstance
may we all act now

.fear.
i do not fear you falling
with another
into bed
i fear you falling
with another
into love
.light.
morning and i’m awake and panicked
night and i am drained
sleep
feels like a language that is dead
not romantic, but full of dread
the in between is suffocation
no escape
no memory
of why i thought it better to stay than go
who am i doing this for
it can’t be me because
i‘m not here
i‘m not here
i‘m not here
i can’t be here
i don’t want to be here
i don’t want to be here or there or anywhere
it’s dark here…
there…
everywhere…
i can’t find the switch
did you lie?
is there even a light?
.dive.
can’t seem to pin down
the cause of this fear
i’ve been told there are no monsters
in the water
to bite my toes
or waves
that will cause me to falter
so why do i continue to
linger…
wading close to shore
before taking a chance
and making the dive
