On Giving it Away

Faith is beautiful when it flows
through the hairline needs of a
cracked soul

a peace that will make sure
i don't land too hard to miss the lesson,
after a backwards, soundless freefall,
sometimes provoked, sometimes voluntary.

i should have given you mine all along
instead of harvesting it in the thankless,
hopeless who fit it nicely in the crevices of their soles
and returned it to me molded and subdued

please take it and don't look back
use it well, like i know you will,
for you have earned every last drop.

Two heads = NOT better

People don't like people
who need to win
every time

People like respect,
humble and fair,
like the man who has devoted himself
to inspiration divine.

"for if they enter here, filled with hate,
let our song fill their souls so there is no more room for hate"

Yes, you won this one
but you lost me
just like every time.

I hope you don't expect congratulations.

when will I learn that I do know best?

Having not listened to my better judgment, I went out last night despite my flu, only to come home and feel even worse. Having been home in bed until 5 pm, I remembered the reason why I left in the first place, why I always leave, and realized I made the right decision.
