In other universes I did love each of you,
So much, often seen how our chemistries can brew
Through the cosmic kaleidoscopic lenses
Of all of my astral dreaming senses.
I said I’d be myself
Now I say that was a lie
They don’t know who I am
Then again, neither do I
But if one thing’s for sure
Today I’m not the same
I’m not who I was before
Or who I was yesterday
And the way that I’m today
Is not the way I will remain
I will never be the way I was that day
I’m a different person
This me is made to last
And though I’ll change with time
There is no more moving back
Because ever since I left
I’ve grown further from the past
What happened is behind me
Like wind blowing on my raft
The wind is in my sails
And the sea in my ears hums
I don’t know what tomorrow holds
But I say let it come
Because every day I’m gone,
Every day without a tear,
I am more of someone
And the future is more near

Is there a more rural plural, y’all?
I’m having a dural neural drawl.
Throw bold differences that inspire our colorblind eyes and cast themselves out of their opaque truth and discover feeling reality
Everyone feels the crimson hatred that we all burn this world with
Just as the icy blues that we all shatter the earth with
Cleanse our mind’s “eye” with a sudden down pour that leaves the smell of freshly baptized sidewalks spewing perfume like ocean waves in the summertime
It’s warm
It’s soothing
I feel protected somehow
Extend an arm of care outward from the love that we desperately have as others shove us away because they feel unbearably the same
Deep down it makes you smile as it tears a hole in your heart
Trust that unsatisfying grin until your grip gives way to the weight of the world
Something meant well that will never be similarly understood even with perfect vision
It’s friendly
It’s sympathetic
I feel strength inside my one arm raised and a balled fist
the human races
color
seperates us
infuriates us
words
divide us
suicide us
violence
drives us
deprives us
if
peace
provides us
guides us
actions
enlight us
unite us
color
eludes us
includes us
the human race
My problem with this one is
I don't know which
dilemma to pick.
Is it the one that goes
if I choose Thanksgiving dinner with in-laws in Texas
will parents in Georgia and Arkansas feel real offended?
Or how 'bout the one
about callin' in sick when you're not but admittin' that
won't give you time off you want and probably need?
My hair looks like a triple cross among
Lady Gaga, Mitt Romney and Mick Jagger but I've only
forty bucks 'til next Friday and the cats really need to be fed.
Cobwebs in the corners disturb but take
time to remove when I could be
occupying.
Gonna stop now 'cause
dilemma is tough enough
but quadrilemma is blowing my mind!
