Verse

Free verse, aphorisms, and short-form writing.

No point in stressing a wave coming
When all you can do is sit back and watch

§

No longer helping
But manipulatively ruining it all
I did want to grow out and leave
But not by ripping everything apart
I’m a fool

I knew there was no future on this path
But I still followed
Hoping maybe

Funny, even hope knew there was nothing
I’m a fool

However I did enjoy it
Felt a side never before
And now I’ve lost all I’ve known before
I’m a fool
Quite the fool

But one thing
I did grow and learn
But by doing wrong
I learned the meaning of repentance
To help clear the soul
Let it out
That you are a fucking cunt

I am a fool

I’m learning not to shape my behaviour based on those around me
But instead to shape whose around me by my behaviour
Fuck what you think

§

I used to always need reassurance of myself
An okay that I’m okay
But now
I’m slowly learning better

In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order

Carl Jung

Life isn’t finding shelter in the storm
It’s about learning to dance in the rain

Sherrilyn Kenyon

You have power over your mind—not outside events
Realize this, and you will find strength

Marcus Aurelius

It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out
It’s the pebble in your shoe

Muhammad Ali

Become the master of yourself

Your eyes feel like home

§

Is it wrong to look at a circles circumference as a straight line?
Does it lose properties when stretched out
It might

§

I’m not destined for greatness
I’m a working man
But that’s what’ll get me there

§

Enjoy the moment

§

You are definitely touched
But you have to be
If you want what you want

But always be humble
Though don’t let what’s yours slip by
Fight for what you deserve
And have earned
Be loud and proud
So that you don’t get left behind

It’s never about the money
It’s about working and building yourself until the money has no choice
But to come

Boast what little paint we have
High and proud
Without knowing the true size of the canvas
A law of man

How many strifes born from minds who think themselves full and true
Misunderstandings
Little know their minds are small and full of folly
Every mind needs work and help to avoid common pitfalls
A great failure is the belief your mind is perfect and without mistake
Except for those minds that are different of course
It is they who are wrong
Nay me

To truly live you must be able to die
To run away from death means to run away from life
To live in the safe zone
To do much to avoid death
Is to do much to avoid life
Cause with life comes death

He who fears death will never do anything worthy of a living man
Seneca

§

I’m just a man
Who cannot help but dream

§

Let them judge
Or you’ll find yourself lacking of accomplishments
And a life to call your own

The things that bother you
Are only those you allow
