If only this, then I would do that.


"If only"


absolves me from attaining my goals and true purpose


becomes the diagnosis of my situation


my scapegoat from my inaction.


"If only" 


absolves me in my mind.



In my soul I know the true nature of "if only"


But I close the door to my soul


Disconnect from it


and walk away from my dreams 


that sit waiting


for


me


with


open


arms.

Future

 

A wise person once said

We take care of the future

By taking care of today.


What does the future hold if

all

we

do

is

take

and

not

care?

Shattered

She was broken in many places
Her shards and rough edges
Sliced through the silence
And cut 
to the heart
of the matter

Trial





Judge and jury on my heart

As if you see inside.
But you know nothing of my art
and nothing of my pride.

On trial by eyes every day
Living lies in every way
Many suffer to be what others want to see
but all I want is to be me.

If I am a kind and gentle soul
Why have I earned your hate?
Just because you social mores
are things in which I don't participate?

Tiny Drops Of Me




Cold
caress me to diamond raiment.
Sun
kiss me to moist disrobing.
Dripping wet
I slide and fall
Sucked deeply
Into the Mud
Bringing new life.

The Social Construct



The Social Construct

Have you ever watched the movie the Matrix?
The Matrix is real.
Very few people actually see the the reality of this world.
Most people are just plugged in
Just accepting all the contructs as real
Even though most of what we hold
To be true are just social constructions within our minds:


Pink for you
Blue for you
Dresses for you
Pants for you
Kitchen, kids and domestic bliss for you.
Sports on TV, hunting fishing and golfing for you.

Glaring judgement and ridicule for you if you do not
Fit
In
The Boxes
Those gender boxes.
Those race boxes.
Those religion boxes.

What if I want to wear make up?
What if I like to wear boxers?
What if I like to dance in dresses through flowery fields?
What if I want to put on a tuxedo or be a knight in shining armor?

It's time
To fight for our future.
To save eachother from self destruction.
To deconstruct
and reconstruct
A world
Where people can be
Who they are
Be accepted for who they are
Escape
From the social construct prison
that enslaves us all.

Ripples From Afar



I am anchored
Here
Apart
From all I hold dear.
I feel your ripples touch me
Even though you are not near.

Floating
Bloating
Fish
Nibble
My
Chains

The depths beneath me
Dark
Foreboding
Hope
I
Stay
Floating.
