Sweetest Angst

Rain dancing on concrete

Dreams in my hands

Tears chase each other

Down soaked cheeks

Welcome to guilt

Tuesday’s pain

Is Wednesday’s victory

2am and lonely

Trust in a place

Yet in existence is

The sweetest angst

Visions and ambitions

Override present seductions

Trembling fingers

Pen memoires

Delicately placing emphasis on

What needs to be remembered

Remember me!

Re-member me

And put me back

To get her back

To where she needs to be

She...me

We used to dance

Heavy influences of treble and bass

Notes that hang

Smooth...urbane

But it’s been so long since I’ve danced

That I forgot that it takes two to tango

Now I’m tangled in a web of me

Trying to reign free of the trap of me

Trying to overcome what I think is me

Only to realize that I can’t run from me

Me

An entity

A collection of mass and brain

Atoms that move in sync with

The universal pulling of my soul

Towards the bright light

Of mediocrity  

Strength is not measured in how tightly you can hold on to emotions

But the ability to let them loose and sort them through

Vulnerability the truest test of character

There is a time and place for everything

Everything has its season

And instead of being angry at the corn that doesn’t sprout in winter

Be mindful of the time to plant

Seed...harvest...law of the land

Some things you just can’t change

So through my words I speak life

Through my actions breathe life

Just being I am life
