A Light Inside Myself

I found a light inside myself
When the world was all so dark
I put that light on the shelf
And reach for it when I need a spark
Sometimes I worry when all gets cold
And I am all that I have here
But then I remember that I have gold
For the light makes the coldness disappear

Control Is A Myth

Control is a myth
Just an illusion in our heads
We cannot control others
We cannot control the world
Our abilities and our practices
Can only go so far
Acceptance beings with letting go
It is simply impossible
For things to always go
As we have planned
Failure is inevitable
And more common than success
There's no need to control chaos
So set the illusion free
Control is a myth

Growing

i
know
how hard
growing is
but unfortunately
it is
terribly necessary

the
pain
is temporary

sameness
hurts more

In The Chair Next To Me

if you were sitting in the chair next to me
i would feel afraid i would feel unsafe
i wouldnt want to look you in the eye
id only glance over and look down down
at the spot on the floor next to your shoes
i would hate for you to see me like this
vulnerable and exposed like never before
you know me as strong and not as fragile
i wouldnt want my inconsistency to seem silly
id hate myself if you were sitting in the chair next to me
