With things sliding
Into realms beyond
Clung to tolerances

Dear Alex,
“Control is over-rated, but it is exceedingly alarming to watch what little I’ve had slip away from me – even if it was not what I’ve really needed.”
(With You – Klur)
Self Forgiveness
My biggest regret is that I
Couldn’t change outcomes
In reaction scenarios
Perpetrated by others
Dear Friend,
Do I wish that I loved you?
That’s a question to unpack
I do not need to wish when
Answer’s been self evident
Of course I do it was always you
Waiting for your eyes to see me
More to the point would be
Is it your wish to love me?
Something To Give
I try to see what is most important
To promote the heart of a moment
Extending this to others in hope that
They’ll benefit, thrive, and propagate
I believe we’re here to aid each other
In lessons learned while overcoming
And that love is a gift we can extend Ensuring joy’s growth becomes vital
Inclusivity
Pushing the wheel forward
Intentions are only narrowed
They cannot include others
In perfect paradigm scenarios
I always knew this to be true
Yet wasn’t extended credentials
Or even the spark of interest
If perhaps I could be capable
That which was a societal gripe
Got passed as branding onto me
No matter how what I did was right
Any flaw was proof of non-charity
(My Everything – ATB)

Negative Associations
She had unpacked and hung some of her favorite colored scarf cloths upon the wall to add a kind of magical ambience to the bedroom.
Unfortunately, the pieces were tied to old memories, which caused her having recycled dreams of loss with torment scenarios.

Dear Friend,
Don’t be a ship that passes in the night
Be the armada which guides me home

“Sob due to nerve meltdown.”
Overcoming
“The pressure to perform was ever present, yet because I pushed, this further injured.
Now my internal messaging is being messed with.
Yay.”
The Numbers
“They were there, but I couldn’t reach them.”
Dear Alex,
“I thought that losses would be temporary.
But sense of security has been fleeting.”
Adaptation: Walking Shark
Clamping Down
“An effect of the ‘freeze’ pattern.”
(Cruise – ROYA)
Dear Alex,
“I don’t know what I can do this time.
Even if I get surgery, I am lacking spinal stability.
Maybe I can get lucky with new PT, build up – and then disrupt it again.
But there is so much to unpack in these regions…”
(Senses Of Time – Avalon)
Idle-Wild
What could we become if
We stopped the treadmill?
Waiting
“To catch up to myself.”
Dear Friend,
“Are we reaching to pull each other through?”
(I walk this earth all by myself – Ekkstacy)

Hey now
What are you doing
Over there?
I see you thinking human thoughts
Is that
Easy
To do?
Calibrating…

Is not only hoping for miracles
But is out here taking damage
While trying to create dreams
And crying as they fall ravaged
