It's All You Need

One day you and your roommate (or both of your roommates) will have a super intense conversation. It will feel like a long time coming, and be during a rare time of breathing in between your both hectic and different lives. But when you have it, it will remind you of how great they are and how live-able life is. You'll realize how easy it is to overlook they're annoying flaws in order to get through the day, with them there supporting you. It all becomes worth it. That's love. The same kind you have with the guy you love and your best friends and your family. They care, and in some small way, they get you and accept you. Its all you need.

Finishing Last

It’s because he’s gentle with me

… sometimes it’s nice to be treated like your fragile

And he understands me

It’s really nice to feel understood

  It’s because he’s protective

And stubborn

Masculine and occasionally demanding

But compromising

And sexy

  He is brave and he is bold

And yes he’s fucked up many times

But he is constantly striving to be better

For both himself, and for me

He has never hurt me

Intentionally or maliciously

He has only ever cared for me,

In his own quiet way

  It’s because he is grateful

To God and to luck and to me

And he brings out that side in me

The loving side

The trusting side

My best side

  I am happiest when I am with him

And when I am with him I am happiest with myself

  There is no greater bond than that

It’s the lasting type

  It’s because he is sensitive and kind

And even more than that, he always puts me first

I mean always

In front of himself, his friends, his family

Even when I don’t want him too

  But Lily is the exception.

He can’t put me first in front of his niece

Because she is the light of his world

He loves that little girl

  Like I know he would one day love ours…

  It’s because he is patient and takes his time

While I am hurrying and worrying

He is contemplating

And when he speaks, it means something

And when he holds me, it solves everything

  You see? That’s why it’s not so bad that the good guys always finish last

Because at the end of this long tiring race, they’re the ones you actually want to be there last

Until Next Time

When I get anxious, my fingers itch for the rhythmic beat of my pen against paper. That's when my thoughts seem to find the most clarity, in the fluid ink of a story never told on a page never to be read. A dance only I can understand to a song only I can hear. And once my performance has reached a close, I take a bow and walk away, leaving everything behind on that page. Until next time.

So I learned two things that night, and the next day, from him: the perfection of a moment, and the fleeting nature of it.

My First REAL Conversation With God

I don’t know why you did this to us

I don’t know what your plan is

But bring it on you mother fucker

I don’t know how many times you’re gonna knock me off my feet

And kick me while I’m down

  But fuck that I’m stronger than you.

You and all your holy power

-          You forgot one thing

  When you created the human race

Your darling precious dolls

You created us of your own flesh and blood

A part of the very immense power that once created us

Resides in each of us

The power to create life

The power to see truth through a fog of lies

The power to create a destiny

You may be the Almighty Lord whose Will determines the course of each of our lives

But you also gave us free will

The power to make our own decisions

  And what does a God love better than to test the very weaknesses

The flaws, he created in his own master plan

To fuck with us, testing us and pushing us right to our limits

Daring us to see your one true secret

Your one true weakness

The one thing left undiscovered by so many

But I see your weakness

  In creating us you gave us the very power we need to overcome you

To surpass your greatness

You thought you limited us to the Earth we were born to

And that by getting to roam the heavens, you therefore had more power than us

  But you also gave us each the power to enter the heavens,

One single chance

That leaves our human bodies on this planet

But a part of us must travel that incredible distance

The part of us deserving of the heavens

Our physical bodies are not deserving of the heavens

They are weak

Too weak to contain the immensity of our souls

In the depth of our souls you planted the seed of faith we have in you

And throughout our lives you test us

You dig at us

You knock us down

Daring us to allow that faith to grow

  Some give way under the intensity of your trials

Often mistaken as cruelty

You give each person the chance to strengthen their faith

And in return their souls

But instead, for some

Their faith in you withers away in their souls

Leaving a scar

A darkness

  You do not rejoice in the sacrifice of one of your precious children

But you do not suffer from it either

Not the way we, eventually, do

  But those few of us,

Those rare few

That you have tested over

And over

And over again

Somehow we make it through

Our faith blossoms under the rays of your appreciation

Shining through the cracks in our surface

The cracks in our façade

To the center of us,

To the deepest and purest of our truths

  We are one with you

And with strength in our faith

We strive to become you

  So you beat our souls down

Only to build them up stronger

You test our every limit

Again and again

Daring us to try

To teach our souls how to fly

  Well I dare to try

From the power within me

That you have bestowed within me

I dare to strengthen my faith in you further

I dare to become better I dare to become worthy

I dare to create my own destiny
