Water to Stone

there is no limit to how much you can feel

there is no scale to weigh your pain

no colors to paint a picture of your dreams

no words to describe the storm rising inside

as it grows from the seeds you sow

as it blooms and sways when you move

let these feelings take you with the flow

just give in and embrace your new soul

sometimes it will feel heavy in your heart

sometimes you will float beyond the clouds

there is magic in this joy and sorrow

because anything is better than bieng hollow

there is no right or wrong

there is no bad or good

just a presence you need to hold

take a look and let it go.

Lessons in life, Love thy self

I need to keep my business my business

I need to stop the word vomit

I need to understand a pause, a second

I need to recognize an enemy from a friend.

Some things are harder than I anticipate

Some are easy so I look for trouble

There is no right or wrong

No one better or below.

No one judging except those inner voices

Chastise myself while I question others

Birthing a redundant guilty conscience 

For things that don't even matter. 

If I feel it I need to do it

If I do it I need to accept it

Not look for validation because I doubt it

Maybe a friendly opinion, but that's about it.

But all these are just outwardly rhetorics

They are all cures not precautions

Following my feelings isn't just enough

I need to believe in them without judgement.

Star dust

I ask myself

Do I feel driven?

Am I just standing in shallow waters?

Have I only dug two feet deep?

Have I looked deep within?

How long do I sit in silence just searching?

When do I reach the star dust we are made of?

They said it was in our atoms

They said we will find the answers

What we are about

But I'm only more confused

I'm only more lost

Do I need to go further?

Do I swim in deeper waters?

Do I need to go ten feet under?

Is the silence more distracting?

Is it more empty inside than the outside?

They said this world is mad

They said we doubt ourselves

We will never really know who we are

We are not really whole

There is no deeper purpose

We are just simply here today

Tomorrow we will just be star dust.
