Can it be?

Can it be?

Will you know when it gets a hold of you?

Will it hit you too?

One day. When you’re climbing your way up?

Fighting your way through your life fight?

Or in your prime?

Every time it is a sucker punch to the gut.

Every time it has blind sided me.

No one is exempt.  It seems to affect everyone.

Either you have it, or someone you know has it.

I am not alone.

I am not afraid.

I am empowered to be more

Do more

Live more

Laugh more

Cuz I want to

Cuz I don’t want to die

Cuz I want to be right

Cuz I got to try…

And see that it’s not all that bad

It’s not just these words

It’s my life

Can’t get over the wall if I don't keep climbing.

I cant’ believe I’ve come this far.

But eyes straight ahead, I can’t look back now.

Gotta let ‘em go, it's what they’d  want anyhow!

Don't want it to bite me when I’m payin attention

To the "all important" ascension.

So yeah I get mad and sad and reminisce at times.

I tell their stories 

So just let me live,

Let me climb

Let me be.  Let it stay at bay!

So I can make my mark.

Fuck Cancer!

Shiny Rings

Looking up with a smile.
The shiny rings in the sky fall heavy on the dewy ground.
There lurks about this ache inside.
Compels something more from the heart.
Give, love, share...
Share in nouns, verbs, prepositions...especially prepositions.
I presuppose a certain position in this world and turn it upside down for you to see everything in pocket.
Over!
Under!
Through this page!
Na! You wouldn't look, I know.
It's all about the shiny coat and easy, breezy time.

I ache to give those rings back.
They are shiny.
They are blinding.
They make it so hard to see the face - in front of me.
You wonder why I turn around,
Dart my eyes
And turn in circles?
Well, those damn rings are detracting from the beauty that IS you.
