New Soul

so influenced by the moon

another lunatic lacing up the boots soon

to gather dust and dirt and mud

this winding road

isn’t going to take you anywhere you want to go

but it can take you away

from where you don’t want to stay

as soon as i get ink

I will tattoo “BE HERE NOW” on my knuckles

maybe that way it will be harder to forget

sometimes it’s not enough to stop hurting

it’s not enough to forgive

sometimes all you can do is just move on to new places

i gave up my additions scaled down and simplified

yet became so addicted to people that i just had to quit

there was a time,

where i was certain that the sun was never going to rise again, that water and air no longer existed and the earth was barren and cold, i watched everyone i cared about come barely with in reach and brushed each person with my fingertips and with that touch they all blew away into the dust.

a man is only as rich as what he can walk away from?

you don’t own your possessions your possessions own you?

a new soul would be nice
