This New Years resolution To post a poem a day Has one easy solution With dues to pay I use the hay To flow and play And move in a way That's good, I'd say Great for the body And grounding the soul Shapin' your body Is only one role The infinite more Remain to be seen So get on the floor And move and breathe

I find myself again In a perilous position One in which I say I'm sorry For the thousandth time Multiplied By more digits than pi But who am I To ask for forgiveness A selfish guy With you as my witness You try and try Butt heads with hard-headedness You don't know why I seem to take Us and threaten this This beautiful thing that we've built The way that I tarnish it I'm racked with guilt While you try to varnish it Why do I harm this shit And make simple things hard When we could just harness it And make the world ours

Sometimes I need to squeeze me Like give myself a hug For the thoughts, they only please me When I feel as though I'm risin' above Not chasin' the horizon Futilely But recognizin' the flies in The ointment - so to speak I see where I'm weak And struggle to improve Focusing on strength Like the way that I move But how do I use My talent and fruits Of my labor To give something greater And how do I build Something sustainable? With questions, I'm filled.. To find answers Thrilled

Mind is full of images But mindful livin is In the present But my, how easy we forget it A small thing, how we sweat it A big mistake How we we regret it But the lessons we take.. That's where the bread is The ambrosia to feed your hungry soul It's up to you to take a bite - don't forget it Cuz lessons alone don't make you whole

You are amazing. The way you awake Before birds start to sing Despite being tired - open eyes sort of sting You still GSD So to pursue Your masters degree These lessons accrue Learning daily The ins and outs of your field Anything but lazy You are your own shield And sword Going out into the world With all this info you have stored Your drive just leaves me floored You inspire me Greatly More than you can currently see To have you, I am blessed Someday, you'll be impressed Where that inspiration leads

Sounds nice to put your heart on the line Until its ripped out and taken By a plan of your own design Left thyself forsaken Embarking on a path not taken Not fully fleshed out Though my heart will be breakin I'll map that shit out And learn from And grow From the fuel of emotion I'll let this flow go On this planet of ocean Choosin' wisely devotion Toward the aim of greater good I dont seek to be boastin' Just not to feel frozen I wanna be understood

Flow smooth Like butter melted, not frozen Just move Let the flow be felt and not chosen Move in a way That enhances your day You listened And heard what your body had to say Submission To intuition

To make your suffering known That is freedom of speech To share how you have grown Is the essence of sharing to teach To lift us up Not drag us down Life does that enough With or without you around But for each other We can be here Or there Not overly smothered But a gesture to show that we care That's better than speaking to scare Negativity leaking through your heart's tear Suddenly peaking when you most feel bare So you lash out Scream and shout Blame those around With that echoing sound Playing the victim As if it's trendy Till you truly become Cold and empty ✌️ Subscribe if you wanna see this podcast thrive

Embodiment of emotion Makes for good rhyme Quieting all commotion Just being here, in time Feeling near To where Heart Meets mind But when I Start To fall I must remind That to have it all Requires time Patience and truth To self, no lyin Cuz self delusion Is no illusion Consequences - real With truth Form a fusion An unbreakable deal

Dark crystal A universe within Gravity irresistible Storm is brewin Things are boomin And bangin big New universe is bloomin But I'm hangin in Though I'm scared of it Of getting bit By the monstrous Unknown I can handle it I can eat the shit Let emotions not get Overblown

She laughs with wild abandon More than any person I've known The snow white Jasmine to my Aladdin A life lived with levity, I've been shown To describe her with brevity Cannot be done easily As words themselves fall flat But oh, what she means to me Raising my frequency Like an energy thermostat And that's what laughter does Don't think of the why, like "because" Laugh like it mattered Like a manic Mad Hatter Laugh to combat the strife Laugh like the Joker Or man bad at poker Laugh like it saved your life

Thoughts racing Contemplating Decision debating Future creating Speck of stardust Roaming Earth's crust Trying it's best To work it's hardest Achieving it's dreams By any means Or not

It seems to be our last spring break At least together while college aged A golden opportunity to take To write out this chapter page by page Day one was to drive From Texas to Colorado Springs So grateful to be alive With you, to see what this week brings For after this week We've a great change ahead For now, I just seek To leave nothing unsaid To ensure that you know How much you mean to me That I love your soul's glow With it's sweet and kind vibrancy And our radical honesty What a gift that has been I can say honestly My time with you's been my biggest win

New forms of writing Experimentation Striving and fighting To build a great nation Things are wrong with society But so much more's right Free speech, like don't quite me Have humble insight You know what's right And if you don't, you can learn It takes a mind, bright To learn to discern And a soul on fire To go out and earn Like get on your feet While the wind's at your back Have humility in defeat For the next great attack So you're stronger then Life is long, my friend But my, how time flies Wisdom to hold - that I recommend You're gonna grow old Even the greatest man dies

If your life were a painting What colors would you choose? Emotions are the same thing They're the fuel that you use I prefer shades of blue And greens Blacks and purples For me it means Diving deep With snorkels Or a submarine Looking for things That at first may seem Less than serene But dark hues are interesting Like the way Amy Lee sings Where would My Immortal be Without a bit of heartbreak Bright days are great But don't underestimate The beauty darkness brings ✌️ Subscribe if you wanna see this podcast thrive

Jealousy is resentment's little brother Heresy to a life well lived To wish you were another You compare unfavorably To someone else's highlight reel Leaving your thoughts unsavory As if you've got a raw deal But the truth here is You must heal If you were fearless Youd see jealousy's the wrong feel Where inspiration is right You'd see they have what they have Cuz they chose to fight Not sit around being sad Or wishin destruction for Abel Like Cain Resentment brings nothing but trouble And pain And when you're in your own hell You've only yourself to blame You'll know exactly how you fell As indignation turns to shame Choose instead to not remain the same Be better than you were yesterday You're given one life, one body, one brain Have fun with the journey and learn to play ✌️ Subscribe if you wanna see this podcast thrive

Alright I've gotta write I have so many Poems saved In this phone For a rainy day It's outrageously Underrated to write Every day In my own way I'll always have something new to say If I keep my mind nude, like buddhists say What'd Buddha say? Life is suffering Not to bring clouds to your day But understanding That's life's demanding And requires thinking Don't be a sheep, bleating Or attention seeking For reasons reeking Of weakness You can beat this ✌️ Subscribe if you wanna see this podcast thrive

From darkness, emerged No longer discouraged Endured the black scourge My mind, left nourished For after the long night Teeming with unseen Predators and prey Came the light of day With it's vibrant sheen It's important to recognize The lessons you glean Now that your mind is serene Cuz it's easy to patronize Your weakness when demoralized But there's something significant For you to realize Change is the only thing consistent Your world can flip in an instant And suffering is inevitable So learn from the lows - be insistent And build a life, incredible ✌️ Subscribe if you wanna see this podcast thrive

The ups and downs of emotion Are the ebbs and flows of an ocean Unseen but felt Pristine when problems are dealt With But when issues go unresolved Like plastic, they just dissolve Fantastic procrastination tactics Never choosing to evolve Till the problem particles are so integrated So diffuse That to call your life devastated Is a mere approximation - and loose You either decide to change At any given moment Or continue thinking it's strange That years have passed with nothing to show for it Except for age And maybe some rage For the fact you never stepped out of your cage Didn't act, and at the end of the day it's yourself who you've played If life's a game For all of us It ends the same So have some trust In yourself Before it's too late ✌️ Subscribe if you wanna see this podcast thrive
