Gospel of John: Bear Much Fruit

if life is short for you, it is short for me.

if tomorrow could be it, then i don't want to die sighing, my last utterance a helpless, wretched whine - for i never dreamed, you see.

(for i was never allowed to hope too hard, or take a risk i thought of myself. even my leaps were coordinated, directed, and orchestrated by you.

it's always been you.)

but i'm done believing in growing up. maybe i'm done believing in childhood. censors? oh, fuck me. i'll listen to the lyrics which give me consent to dream - and i'll fill journals and write songs, and leave footnotes on walls, and if there's lies in them, then you better be ready to hear me lie, for the very first time.

not all trees bear fruit, but everything green grows.

so don't tell me i'm too young to start living.
