ItAin’tHeavy

It’s also 
strange this
not needing
anyone else
for finally
I can
simply want
deliciously want
succulently desire
absent of
distanced from
the baggage
of need
I carry
my own
now these
emotional bags
leaving others
to lug
around theirs

NormallyNormal

It’s strange 
this being
normal normally
normal again
after a
lifetime of
being different
I tired
being different
around others
being the
odd duck
still different
now alone
I’ve learned
that normal
isn’t what
you are
as much
as it
is who
you’re around

Sip

There’s just 
something about
that first
sip of
morning coffee
similar to
that first
smooch I
share with
you each
one reminding
it’s dawn
things to
do you
to love

Shit

I’ve gone 
through too
much shit
in my
life to
ever want
to sit
down at
your table
and dine
on yours

Faith

I don’t 
believe in
beliefs things
out there
to point
at saying
I believe
in that
in him
I believe
in faith
strong courageous
silent and
invisible faith
