We all have seen
people,
places,
and different situations
that questions
everything we have learned,
believed,
seen,
and heard.
It is up to us whether to
label those things
as mere fallacies,
or to uphold them
as utter truths.
But this isn't always the case.
The process of acceptance
is not always easy.
It involves a lot of self-berating,
self-loathing,
listless moments,
melancholic states,
and finally,
reluctant adaption,
to the current norms,
notion,
and societal views,
that forces us to change
our views,
our versions of truths,
our perception of reality,
and our own self-image.
We must always beware
those situations; let it not
deter you.
For, dear, you are
what you are,
and what you believe;
your conviction,
your truths,
your freedom from
these mind-altering moments,
will not be taken away from you.
Do not let yourself
be washed away
by the waves of
fanaticism.
To the gullible. May this piece never offend you.

Adaption can save a child poem,
it is unusual, here,  and it is unusual in America for adaption;

I think it not unusual in Japan, esp. for a Haiku, parents
a poems adaption, is for those who have none;

but I think should become more unusual.

She was a girl
No one ever chose
For teams or clubs
Dances or dates

She was a girl
No one ever noticed
Sitting in the corner of the room
Always alone

She was a girl
Left outside in the freezing rain
For the longest of times
With no one to hug or hold

She was a girl
That held everything in and let nothing out
It was only her eyes that revealed the story of her pain
Being left out like garbage everyday

She was a girl
Who never spoke
Yet didn’t need words to be heard
One day you will finally notice

Balancing are details
When we analyze life in
Simple tasks those become harder
And feel overwhelms
Reminding that power is
Tenacious
Is power that reminding overwhelms
Feel and harder become those
Tasks simple in life
Analyze we
When details are balancing

Timid and shy make
Anxieties risen when
Everything falls out of order
Tell the mind to calm down
Observed what's around
Perception
Around what's observed
Down, calm to mind
The tell order of out
Falls everything when
Risen anxieties make shy and timid

Magic of adaption
Resourceful at hand

Sift I will and hold in path of

current's latent aftermath

heart befell, and breath in current

breath could tell, and most confirm it

Depth befell, a host affirmed of what compelled

the most determined

love's to sell and what could earn it

lust and amour, yet shift in focus

love of current, and opened play

could last it til, preferred today

now compulsion packs a passion pact

to back adaption banter tact

intact of what could help me focus

attraction stacked and traction bogus

love don't need to own possession

love just needs to show expression
One, willing to change,
experiences many lives
before their mortal shell
ceases to function.

A coward, however,
experiences perhaps one.

You don't know
As much as you think you know.
Life isn't an episode of FRIENDS.
Six people can't be happy like that
For ten years.
And a small coffee shop
In New York
Can't stay open that long
Anyway.

Les Mis wasn't based
On a Shakespeare play
And you sound like an idiot.

You can't rhyme.

Dr. Seuss is not your favorite poet,
And you're allergic to artificial sweeteners.

And, I kid you not,
You're going to turn 17
To find that your favorite TV show
Is an MTV adaption of "Teen Wolf"
And you won't even be sorry.

You're going to tell your name
To strangers on the internet
And they'll give you a new one.

(And it will be
The best decision of your life)

You never get over Paris.
Or road trips.
Or libraries.
Or oreos.

And on
January 9

Home is more than a pile of bricks,
It's the view from the window
And the walk down the road.
It's houses you pass
It's the people you see
It's the beep of the coffee ***
And the bark of the dog
It's the texture of clay
It's the floor boards that creak
It's the sound of the motors
And the memories of love
It's where you were when you
Learned how to count.
It's the murmur of voices
It's the colors of fall,
It's the mess that you made
It's the time you were proud
It's the thunder and lightening
It's the faces you know
It's the habits you break
And the things that you count on
It's the sound of a word
It's the line in the joke
It's the restaurants and waiters
It's the predictable  vote
It's the aisles of the store
It's the pinching of cheeks
It's the hard times, the help
And the vegetable stands
It's the churches and prayer
It's the clock in the square
It's the traffic, the football,
The police and the sun
It's the tick of the clock
And the hum of the pipes
It's the drawer with the spoons,
It's the trick to the tub
It's the stop sign you ignore
It's the trash cans you empty
It's gas in the tank
And playing hide and seek
It's the traditions we cherish
It's the rhythm we find
Home is more than an address
It's more than just family,
It's God and it's time
It's an attitude, an  adaption
It's everyday lives
Home isn't where the heart is,
Home is what makes up the heart.

What I want is
enough money

To have what I want
what I want is

A good life
with only small cracks that I can repair

What I want is
a relaxful place to live

Where I'll never have to worry
what I want is

Everyone to be treated equal
so no one has to suffer

All I really want is
Peace.

i take a step back into myself  as the last golden brown

leaf crumbles into dust upon the delicate caress

of your callused, cracked fingertips.


you will find me once again, breathing down

your neck and into your ear, creating ripples

of chills that freeze down each vertebrae of your spine.


adaption is a process that you can never seem to catch

when the cool spring breezes that once warmed your smile

have given way to the morning dew frozen now into

frost.

Sitting here staring into the sun, reminiscing about the days where life felt a little more at ease. About how all is changing, how I have grown into a woman with her own life as I mentally say goodbye to peace of mind.
I'm moving in a week and I was forced to put my dogs in a foster home. while I'm currently in college working my *** off. This is how I'm feeling.
