You dare ask what’s in my head

Then you dare venture to lands of the dead,

You dare risk not waking from your bed.

I look in the mirror

And I’m unsure of who I see,

I walk in this body but me is not who I be.

I’ve lost my soul, feeling things I have never felt, maybe I am not myself.

Maybe I just need to see someone,

Maybe I just need help.

It’s okay to not be okay. Just get help.

Rain or Shine

When I was just a lad

I used to sleep outside.

I’d shut the door on my bedroom

Walk out to the backyard.

Sleep there all night long,

All year long,

After dad left

It was the only way I knew

To be closer

To that different better father.

Rain or shine

You still called me “mine.”

Ruthless

Nothing as sharp

As a well timed word

Aimed at the spirit.

We’re almost there

Now tear the wound open wider,

Don’t forget to be ruthless.

I’ve got the salt ready

To slowly knead

Throughout your pain.

Tear it open

Let it all come pouring out,

Everything that’s you.

Leave it on the page,

Then and only then

Will you get some rest.

New Growth

vagabondprophet:

Let us go away

To the gutters of decay

See what we can find

To inspire new growth.

I’ve got sadness

Let’s turn into gladness,

And maybe this doubt

Will transform into faith.

I’ve got rage

Locked inside a cage

Maybe we can change it

Into something kinder.

That’s just what you do

The impossible it’s true,

It’s how this lump of dust

Is breathing at all.
