PlayAwayStayAway

Oh of course 
wouldn’t you know
it on came
that one song
which took me
back to the
place I never
wanted to go
thinking about you
and you know
who you are
and where I
mean yeah there
here’s the thing
I may not
be able to
control the music
but I’ve learned
that I sure
as hell can
control my heart
music play away
and you’ll stay
away as well

Creat(ion,ivity,e)

I came here 
with nothing and
yet created something
arriving absent of
and building towards
has been exhilarating
and now I
know why those
before me built
rather than occupied
for creating something
in one’s image
is creation itself

Dull

I do enjoy dull 
finding things to polish
and make new again
but polishing things is
different than polishing people
people simply don’t change
no matter how hard
one rubs or shines
they remain the same
I think now that
people once dull remain
dull having always been
that lackluster tired way

WeAnimals

Bees sting
dogs bite
cats scratch
but lovers
and people
should not
and when
they do
like birds
I fly
high above
and away

Sting

And yesterday felt 
like a rubber
band snapping back
and surprising me
leaving a sting
where hope should
have been found
things for me
went as planned
things with others
definitely did not
and I stood
there feeling like
a high school
freshman after gym
having just been
snapped with a
towel by the
seniors and wondering
why do they
have to do
this to me
