Even though
The ground is covered in snow
I know if you dig a little deeper
You'll find it to be warm
There are some people I thought I might never end up liking or being friends with, but I only saw the show. Of course, not true with everyone, but nevertheless.

(This note was written by a shirt that ate cobbler and then sat on air to watch a pen skydive)
Understanding the 'what'
       is the zenith of living-art
To walk away from yourself
  is the greatest  cowardice-
you've nothing left at all
not even the tiniest moral piece
The greatest strength
    emerges when everyone
    has walked away from you
    leaving you alone to your battle-
   your every ounce of energy
   you'll harness to overcome the obstacle
   you'd never met before
West:   Wrestle

     Zen:     Be settled
Once time
you've mastered
everything else
you've conquered
Truth isn't often welcome-
     it lays bare the things
     we shouldn't have done
You know how I know
That's a bullshiit apology?
Because you're not sorry
You're just sorry
Sorry,
Not sorry
But the difference is
Whenever I am
Mine aren't empty

Cherry blossoms
bloom
where love grows.
Fragrance of bliss.
Fleeting
like life’s evanescent odor.

Be
careful
of
the company you keep

the
quest to belong
straws
the
imagination

and
stray
bullets
kills
the
innocent
