In a sick and dying generation

We plead for this whole nation

Stand up

Raise a cup

Give us real srandards and regulations

Not drowning with stipulations

Meet us with helping hands

Not green wash fake unhealthy brands

Pull us out

Don’t just shout

Let’s unite

Not ignite

Holding true to what we always knew

That herbs and tenctures and even brew

Give us health more than drugs

And stop giving us ...

That one time I woke up and said fuck it

Far away from it all like the desert to Nantucket

Smoked away my feelings, smoked away my brain

Looked for answers, found change

Used that to buy a new life, new game

Realized it was all me, no shame

To seek and find is beautiful truly

To know that I was the beholder of what is to be found

Now that’s unruly

To go away and make it back, that’s scary

Th...

It was theirs, not mine

I did not want the fire and ash

I did not want my husband’s sash

Taken from a battle, bloodied from clash

It was theirs not mine

It was mine not theirs

They did not care for my son’s smile

They did not see my pain worthwhile

They did not care for our lands defiled

It was mine, not theirs

For all my sorrow, they spoke of glory

For all my peace, they spoke of things gory

I...

The secret started small.

But grew and grew until it was tall.

It stretched it’s arms out like a tree.

Let out a yawn louder than a hundred bees.

It kicked and punched until it was questioned.

They burst into tears when the answer was mentioned.

Not all secrets have to be bad.

Not all secrets will make you sad.

Some of them will make you glad.

Like holding a baby...

My daughter was born,

But she wasn’t enough.

She was a girl,

She wouldn’t like the same stuff.

But as she got older,

She was engrossed

In the things

That I liked most

She wasn’t my age

She wasn’t my gender

So when it came to activity

I wouldn’t spend it with her

I was kicked out

When she was a teen

I knew I took her for granted

She just wanted to be seen

But did I change?

Switch up my ac...

Sit still,

Sit straight,

Darting eyes,

Finding mine,

The paper slides,

The words fly,

I’m on my knees,

Begging please!...

I lost you

Amongst

The

Fray

As

Voices

Rico

Chet

Bombaring

My skull

Your

Screams

Were

All

Null

I could

Never

Have kept

Them

At bay...

You’re something that changed my perception

You changed the perspective of the life I was living

You loved and moved in the spirit without any hesitation

Steps taken to show the love that was giving

However you’re shy and shut out not wanting to reveal or receive

The peace I give

What a revelation...

Exits attach wings to my shoulders

Easier, the better

Though my courage could withstand labrythns;

Salvation is believing I’m bolder

Patience is a jet setter;

No home, no closure

Though I leave the light on

Probation is believing I’ll receive better

Love is a story few times too many told

Blythe, nonetheless

we turn strangers who rome;

the revelation is facing I’m stronger alone...

**I wandered through a hollow haze,**

**Where time stood still, the nights unkind.**

**Each step a question, paths ablaze,**

**Yet answers seemed too far to find.**

**The weight of doubt, a heavy shroud,**

**Pressed tightly on my aching chest.**

**I stumbled, lost within the crowd,**

**No peace, no hope, no time to rest.**

**But then a whisper, soft and clear,**

**It pierced the dark, a sudden f...
