All this time I have been afraid of not being accepted
afraid of not being liked
afraid of not being good enough
for people's time
in the end I learned
that the number one person
that did not accept me
was me
And that has made all the difference
Can I come to terms with who I am?
conflict causes pain for a moment
silence causes pain for generations
harmony to us
is just a box of disdain, envy, and fury
waiting to be opened
so speak now
or forever hold your peace
It was forced upon me

I made a move

A subtle one

But I knew

That it would lead me to my end

I can still feel it

The point of impact

The deadly deafening sound

In that instance

It all played in reverse

The moment...
The thoughts...
The regret...
The lament...

It was my second death
I wonder if I will live to see my third...
All the money I wasted
All the trash I accumulated
All the people I misguided

I am just in the way...
I laughed
I cried
I made things
I broke things
I won
I lost
I was loved
I was hated
I lived...
and when I leave
I hope I did a good job...
The Attention that you seek...

Is the same Attention you are running from...

The fountain that you neglect...

Is the very fountain from which passion pours from

The path you pass up

Is the same path that possesses your destiny

We are all wandering on a quest for "It"

Do not be so quick to turn

"It" is in front of you
