Stop waiting for someone to call you an artist. You’re an artist as soon as you decide to be

Am I?

Am I hard to love?

Am I shattered glass?

Do I cut when touched?

Can I be loved fully,

even if i fall short?

Am I worthy of love?

Am I deserving?

Are there hands big enough

to hold me when I am weak?

Is there someone who can see me?

Or am I see-through?

Vapor? Mist? Smoke?

Dissolving as soon as I appear.

To been seen but only for a moment.

Am I heard?

When I yell

do i make a sound?

Do i echo?

Does my voice stretch out

and shake anything it reaches?

Or am I hollow, empty?

Is there a sunken

cave in my heart?

Dear Brother,

As a 14 year old boy you wrote a letter to your future self. A question you asked yourself stood out to me. You asked “Is your life good right now?” Well since you are no longer here to speak an answer, I will try to answer on your behalf. At this very moment, you are suspended beyond time. You are everywhere all at once. Your spirit lives on in every laugh, every tear, every sweet sweet memory, every warm hug, every glance exchanged between our family members, every dance danced in the middle of our living room, every morning sunrise, and every evening sunset. You are the embodiment of what makes life good and worth living. Your life has now been kaleidoscoped and merged with all life that has existed and will exist. So if you ask me if your life is good right now brother, I would say it is filled with love and light.

Ocean

Here we go taking several long, deep strides backward

Together in unison

A motion smooth like water pushing and pulling and still moving.

Here you go vicious and mighty

So quiet, yet roaring as you go,

As I watch.

Over there you’ll see us parting and splitting almost just as we’ve begun

Just as we’ve gotten the motion quite right

Just as we’ve rocked the boats and learned to moved while holding the fishes.

Now here we lay like a puddle

Saying nothing, moving none,

Awaiting a splash from a foot

Passing-by.

Baby, we use to be an ocean.

3 am

Before Dawn

There’s certain hours in a day

Where the heart gets all soft

All those barriers that you chained

Around ya veins

Just fall off

You never know how they come undone

But you can feel the weightlessness

Tears flow easy

Hearts willingly crack open

It’s like being stuck

Or better yet suspended

Jocey

Reminder

I try my best to be understanding. I am very empathetic and sensitive. I work hard at self growth thinking always how I can evolve and be better in all aspects of my life. I walk in my truths, and do not wish to hide who I am. My acceptance comes from within. I am not a stool for anyone to rest their feet on. I am not a drive through, an all you can eat buffet, or an ever moving machine. I have limits. I must set and maintain those boundaries in order for me to keep my sanity and stay true to me. I have to be brave and stand up for me, Jocey. No matter what. When my challenges get bigger I do not fold, I rise up to meet them. I am proud of me. I will always fight for me. I will give me the majority of my love before I am empty from giving it to everyone and everything else. Cheers to all the boss women picking themselves up and loving themselves fiercely everyday.

Dream Girl

Sometimes people don’t want to love you, for you.

They love an image of you in their head.

They want an imaginary created version of a woman that lives in their dreams.

Beware of those people because they’ll never be satisfied.
