Time is but a broken plate —
It happened long ago,
In memories I crave to piece
Shreads of secrets never told.

The sad clown looks at me  and as his mask unfolds,
I hear my cracked lips,
silent screams
"Im you but I forgot"

You know they love you
When they let you
Ugly cry
Into their new clean crisp
White shirt
With makeup on.
When I was
a young man
I wrote as
a young man

Needing music
and art
to deal
with the times

But now
as an old man
my heart
chases neither

While dwelling
inside
what this moment
— has found

We are people.
Not machines.
We are meant to be appreciated-
and not as merely
property.

resorting to anything but love
is weakness, never a strength

Asking for help
is like struggling
when you’re drowning;
it isn’t a sign of weakness,
but the desire
to keep living

Don’t drown:
ask for help
in your surroundings.

Because people won’t
watch you drown
when you’re struggling;
they’ll run to help you
out of the pond
you’re drowning in.
Because if you don’t
try to live
so others don’t see you bleed
you will only make them
hurt more
when you fall
under the weight
of the storm.
This is not my best poem or the most beautiful one. But I feel like sometimes you have to push beauty aside when you have something to say.

I miss your friendship!
I miss knowing...
There are so many reasons tumbling ‘round my head
As possibilities for why you’ve locked me out
They all begin with hurt and end with tears

I cried again tonight
wondering on the wrongs I might have done
I truly am so sorry
For every single one
I just want...
so very much I want
to know of you
to hear of you
as told by you.

Yet clearly this
is far too much to ask
i cry
missing you
