Hey UniverseHey Universe
Why you coming at me so hard?
Did I do some sht to piss ya off?
Or you just playing some evil part?
Its all getting kinda rough

I've already...

Garden Between My RibsThere is a garden between my ribs,
A hidden place the world can't see.
It blooms in silence, softly lives,
A patch of green inside of me.
I never chose the seeds it sowed,
They came from storms I couldn’t flee.
Each broken word, each heavy load,
Took root beneath my shattered sea.
It grew through cracks, it pierced my bones,
With petals made...

Can you dig it?
Dig...black soil,stone. earth worms wiggle, decayed bones
Dig... scatter seeds there, sprouting, searching sun and air
Dig ...to hide our dead, six feet under, body bed
Dig...shovel and spade, flowers grow from planted pain
Dig...out of this hole, skin so pale and Icy cold
Dig...deep down inside, reveal secrets graveyards hide...

Fish out of waterI wonder who I’ll be when alone
A salmon spent on Lagunitas creek
A giving tree robbed of it nuts
A sunset rooster with no eggs
When your chick has flown the nest
Even if for a summer vacation
Who’ll give you meaning when life is fallow?
Who will you be when your seed is in college?
Will you be a cobweb at...

Your greatest strengthIn your heart a candle burns,
help its light to grow
See how all darkness fades,
enabling love to flow
Feel how your chest comes to rest,
how inner warmth appears,
like a kind warm embrace
soothing all pain and tears
In this warmth your inner light
brightens and glows,
burning away harsh edges
so what no longer serves clears out
This reveals you...

Growing up is hardI think the hardest things
Are about letting him hurt
When I know the suffering is real.
Letting him choose to do what he can
And can't
And knowing I can't help..
I can't ask for more of him
Because there's nothing left
And he needs encouraging
Especially when I'm worried it's not enough.
It's impossible to balance wants and needs
When I...

In the CradleForged in the cradle of crumbling stone,
The river murmured like an elder's song,
A silver thread through earth’s old bones,
Unraveling what never should belong.
Like lightning shaped in liquid skin,
It laced through logs and shattered pride,
No war was waged against the din,
Just gentle strength that slipped beside.
Over time, I’ve clung to rigid dreams,
Iron branches in...

White Light Rewards 1 Johre
White Light

Believe In YourselfYou can only try,
Give it your best shot.
Wear a winning smile.
Plant a positive thought.
You're on your way now.
You're looking good.
Moving forward.
Out in front.
Aim high above the clouds,
and you can fly!
Believe in yourself.
Dreams can come true.
Set your goals high.
Don't limit yourself.
Create ideas and experiment.
Let your mind lead you.
Soon you will find,
all the amazing things you can...

Extraordinary Forecast
When you row with vibes,
You tend to lose more value...
Outside some notable tribes,
That always pressure to argue.
When you seek attention off reason,
You could definitely lose affection...
Without reckoning title or season,
That holds no clear motive to suspension.
When you appear to attract,
Probability stakes no idea to stand...
You would defend to subtract,
While you fail to flow as...

Pieces ReturnI’ve seen the distance in my eyes, trapped in the moments I can’t disguise.
I’ve felt the tension in my voice, A trembling heart without a choice.
I know I judge as I’ve always done,
I build these walls,
I try to run.
But can’t I see, can’t I feel,
Be who I am,
let myself heal?
These days are tough,
but I won’t...
