Fired Up

Sometimes,
experiencing the emotions
that come from messing up

lights a fire

that accelerates improvement
faster than contentment
ever could.

Live Unbroken [Poem]

Maybe
our real nature
isn’t to live unbroken.

Maybe
our real nature
is to continuously break down
until all that’s left
is what's real.

Start Seeing

Sometimes
you need to stop
seeing the good in people
And start seeing 
what they are actually showing you.

Love Hiding

You never know
who would love
the person you hide.
And you'll never find out
so long as you stay
in hiding.

For hiding isn't selective.

Hiding hides you
from everybody's sight.
And if the person
you were meant to love
sees the person
you're only pretending to be—

would they recognize you?

Bridges

The people who burn bridges
to light their way

are the same people
who complain

that they don’t have enough
bridges to cross.

No Care.

We were born needing care
and we'll die needing care.

But, let's not forget
that what happens in between
shouldn't be no care.

For not needing care
doesn't mean care
is not needed.

When more people who care show up
living feels infinitely less unfair.
