“Humanity”

People are Foolish,
Fallible, Weak. They
always Disappoint.
Yet they are also Surprising,
Strong, Kind. They can
Love endlessly.

The hypocrisy
is fundamental to
Humanity

“Balance”

Losing yourself is
a gift 
when nothing
can shatter
the progression
of passionate pursuit, but
a curse 
when you kill
even the consideration 
of a gut-check
question

“Proud Story”

Blood on a marble floor
spilled by spit, derision,
and paranoia,
is the proud story of
white people too blinded
by lies & fables 
to see their champions
crush the lie of manifest 
destiny under the heel 
of fabricated freedom &
shackled opportunity

p.s.

“Aren’t Meant”

This idea that humans
‘aren’t meant’ for what
you deem unworthy is 
a lie

humanity’s greatest gift 
is deriving meaning
out of the meaningless 
& rationalizing utter
inhumanity; we rationalize
everything

“A Mess”

Lost in the 
tangle of desperate 
limbs, themselves 
lost in the 
jerk & hitch
of the cloying 
rhythm of numb fingers
stumbling for
bootstraps

“We Are”

pulled into
colliding, pushed
into the sweet 
melancholy
of momentary
infinity

“Self-Directed, Too”

Try to imagine:
the existential exhaustion &
the emotional trauma
you felt for moments
instead hounds you 
every day, waiting, &
preying now as then
as then
as then
as then
