Bipolar Cowboy Quotes

“Are we looking for the absolute truth or the absolute feeling? Or the answer that best suits our personal needs?”
― Noah Cicero, Bipolar Cowboy

“I didn’t write this to make you feel guilty or embarrass you
 
the only weapon i have is silence
 
i don’t hate you”
― Noah Cicero, Bipolar Cowboy

“People will love people
no matter what
terrible shit they do.
 
We forgive people, even when
they don’t ask for forgiveness.
 
When there is no
atonement,
no penance.
 
Why do we love people?
Why do we forgive evil?
Stupidity—
Shallowness—
the darkest motives.
We forgive
because we are attached,
we have known them a long time,
we have put them into the
category of family or friend.
We want to have sex with them.
Because they entertain us.
 
We even forgive child molesters
if they make good movies.
 
The unspeakable truth
is that we need written laws
that have mystic origins—
with weapons to keep
them upheld.
 
Because we are too
forgiving of our friends
and family. We take their side,
even when we know
they are wrong, and lying.
 
The world would collapse
into chaos without law
not because we are
savage beasts, but because
we are so forgiving.”
― Noah Cicero, Bipolar Cowboy

“How do you become a person?
Usually, instead of trying to get a job,
I listen to music on YouTube, instead of being
a person, I try to become the notes of songs,
the chord structure of “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow”
covered by Amy Winehouse, I want to become that song, I learn
the song on guitar and strum it on my adobe porch thing,
trying to become non-human, sometimes I try to become
the taste of a Carl’s Jr. cheeseburger, I want to be
that delicious, that bad for you.
 
Sometimes I listen to Amitabha chants,
Navajo chants, even old
Kentucky Old Regular Baptists call out chants, I
want to be a pure feeling, that may lead to heaven,
but instead I am Noah Cicero, sometimes I scream, I
can’t be controlled, I can’t be tamed, because I
don’t know what to be—”
