An open letter to all of us



You do not understand the world around you... 
neither do I. 
This is not the byproduct of a lack of care, will or understanding… 
it is simply unattainable under our current conditions.
This culture of ours makes it impossible to feel comfortable with certainty…
deny your thoughts, for they simply raise too many questions.

A window becomes poetry when the other side is unattainable 

Forgo these notions of comfort, a cold shower on a hot day…
mistakes are made to be learned from.
Light a candle for it's convenience…
be aware of the fire it starts.
A liberated thinker is far from isolation…
but far too inconvenient.

Family becomes apathetic in the face of dishonesty

Nurture the uncomfortable mind for it has far more to draw from than ghosts and insecurity.

Tell yourself you are more than the product of your experiences…
you are their offspring.
The future remains unwritten yet it keeps us all in mind. 

Remember your love and ask it for forgiveness when you stray…

we are all in this together

and I miss you most of all.

The olympus cloud




I cannot disrupt your day. 
Nothing I say is meant to change your mind. 
Looking in the eye of your truth does not contain the blinding properties of earths yellow sun.

Love



I don't dig on doubt or pity
I don't mind getting caught in the rain
I won't lie for anybody
But when I do
It's for your love

I don't have to work at four thirty in the morning 
I don't have to go outside if I don't want
to run into anybody
But when I do 
It's for your love

I stay up way too late far to often
I don't call my mom often enough 
I said I don't dig on doubt or pity
But I do it all 
for your love

The Facts


Here's the truth of it
always in pain
Never feeling like anyone
always afraid 

Sometimes worthless
Never ashamed 
the everyday is difficult 
seek constant escape

Closed eyes while color pervades 
live for the blessings a mind will create
Bathe in the light of another day
asking only for faith 
put on display 

I'll never out run you
You're with me 'till death
It's just Cerebral Palsy
It's all in my head...
