There’sOne

There is 
one feeling
that all
creatures understand
to learn
this listen
to children
laugh or
watch dogs
wag or
taste that
one long
awaited favorite
dish this
one simplest
emotion of
all is
just joy

IfIMust

If I must 
do but one
thing for the
rest of life
let it be
love and if
also for eternity
let it also
be to love
for there’s nothing
truer to do

Don’tEverNever

Throwing everything 
at people
to appease
anything never
ever solves
the problem
it simply
soothes the
lingering sting
caused by
bad decisions

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

Shit

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