The Bending of Steel with the Powers of My Mind
When reconciling what and whom to be, sometimes
When a commonplace existence has long been ruled unacceptable
Values representative of a "flowering of life"
without the conventions of restrictive paradigms endemic to our culture
-- We must force ourselves to embrace our whole(s), regardless
For moments (at least) we can see ourselves
Not as what we believe others do
We may forgive ourselves, damaged and vulnerable
Shame is as contrived as salvation
Stability and harmony makes a warmer home
than one of boredom and panic
--------------------------------------
Believe - Together #2
Erroneous to confuse neediness and yearning
as proxy for personal deficiency
Grandest strengths are the embrace
of high-threshold weaknesses within mind and body
An identity built upon constant self-analysis
and instant reinterpretation
Like white blood cells hunting for
and attacking infection possibilities
I walk sprite with knowledge and
the weightlessness of truths
Uncentered dispersions simmer but rarely boil
leisurely cognitions reflective of time wasted
Everything I touch with passion and interest
is poignant, significant, and essential
