Naked Peanut

Tonight seems to be 
a night of prospect.

open minds and fluid fingers.
There's so much you can say
When you lose a possibility. 

She was there
and then she wasn't.

What seemed like months and
months of agonizing pain and
indecision was only
nine weeks
and a fraction of an inch.

But it was still enough
to turn my world
to shambles.

There were things I knew:
I didn't love him
and He was lying when he said 
He loved me
It was a recital
From moments we'd read
About situations like this
Only he was reading
From a different script
Than I was.

I knew what I was feeling:
something alive and totally
dependent on no one else but 
me.
and I knew
That there was no way 
I could be what that
fraction of an inch 
needed me to be.
That the world was not
What I wanted it to be
that nothing was where
I needed it to be
Yet.

So I bought us some time.

There were things that I could have never known:
How terrifying and
Alone that day was going to be
even though 
I was with 
three other people.
How it was possible 
to feel so 
incredibly numb
and so 
incredibly alert to every
touch and sound and smell.

I never could have known
That that feeling
That feeling of utter loss
would turn into anger and
resentment until it turned into
nothing at all.
I couldn't have know that
It was okay to start to heal
That there are some things that
Aren't meant to be until
They are meant to be.

There are no 
easy decisions 
in life.
There are no set paths of 
right or wrong
that can be applied to 
all of humanity.

There are things that
Will live with you forever
In ways that are good and bad.

There are choices you 
Have to make 
To ensure that
What you have decided
What you have done
Will be justified
Will be right
In your own heart
And in your own time.

Open minds and fluid fingers.
Tonight seems to be
A night of prospect.

Social Deconstruction

De
Con
Struct
Me

I don't even fit
Within my own little world
Anymore

Personal
Rejection

Personal
Ignorance

Keep going and going same broken record
Some day I'll get better results

That's my
Personal
Insanity

Even I can see
How fucked up that is
It must be
Plastered
Across my face to the rest of
Society

I'm not me anymore
Branded
Stigma
Slave to
My own organic compulsions
Get me out of here

De
Con
Struct
Me

Chunk O' Meat

everyone's always telling me
drilling it into my head
sending it on little post cards of 
cheerful doom and an
incredibly failing attempt to be helpful
Don't dwell on the past,
Live in the here and now
seize the day
be all that you can be
i cliche my way through life

most days i just want to tell them to
suck a big one
but then i realize that
it's not so much the
past that freaks me out
gets under my skin
gets my goat
it's more of what's going on 
right now
right before my eyes
their eyes
that we choose to 
look past
or that
seems impossible to 
overcome
all these possibilities at my fingertips
and its getting fucked up because
i have no 
finesse
socially verbally visually
like a big chunk of meat
bumbling around trying not to
go bad
working hard
in the here and now
but still not getting it
just the way 
it needs to be.
