I Am

Took

a piece of Wim Hoff, Elliott Hulse

Then turned it off

Cold Showers

Conscious breathing

Hard and then soft

Excited for the struggle

The work

The practice

Opportunity to be the worst

I am it

Took a piece from Tony Robbins

First on the screen, then through some headphones

Went home talking like I can do anything

Like I found a cheat code

I felt power like he sent me

Exactly what could get me

Mastery of a subject

All through some cd’s the library lent me

Listened 10,000 hours

I am it

Took a piece from LeBron James

Long games, focused since 14

And not a lot has changed

Strong aim

Played it like it’s all a game

Watched everyone talk down on his name

Then watched him straight clown

Found a seat as eastern conference king

Now his rings are too loud

52 years Cleveland

But how are you doing now?

I am it

A spectator so often

Lessons I was watchin

These men were so lost in

What other than love of a subject?

Excitement

A light went on in my soul

My body just knows

“This guy is like me”

I want to learn what he knows

I watch

I practice

I go

A Day

Sand covered feet

Morning at the beach

Waves decompress

It’s my release

Peace

Going

I meet up for lunch

Friends, we haven’t seen each other in months

Laugh the whole time, words didn’t matter much

Eat

Time

For me

To grow the love in me

I feel a need

To write what my heart has seen

Pen, paper

And the higher me

Be

She

Will be over in an hour

Quick shower

Check to see if my shirts are clean

Don’t need to comb my hair

Should probably brush my teeth

Ecstasy

Light

Has now gone away

Night

Will now spawn the day

I could do this forever

Life

I’d love another day

One Hand Clapping

There is nothing to figure out

Nothing we can do but live it now

What part of the ocean wrote its equation?

And if the equations didn’t work out

Would there be no more ocean to play with?

Limit life to a line

Live a life through a time

A challenge to the mind

but when it’s done, it’s finished

Life is a rhyme

To pretend we don’t know

To imagine alone

We’re walking this road

Tragic until home

The tragic is us

We were never lost or alone

We move in

We move out

We understand

Then give baffled accounts

We act like this makes sense

But deep down

There is no figuring about

Drunken Style

Rolling syllables like a tie

You see what I meant, I can see it in your eye

Definitely high

Lay back

Relax

Tabs of acid that seem to rhyme

Fingers tingle

But you feel alright

Slowly focus closes

A new world slowly opens

Unbalanced in a balanced way

Hocus pocus

Magic in your mind

Laugh and then unwind

Relax

Let it ride

Now you’re swimming

You feel the tide

Moving, bobbing, sitting

But you feel alright

Feeling high

Absolutely free

As if you’d died

Risen

Like you live on high

Dance with the celebration

Float through the sky

This is real life

Once you realize

This is how you feel

When you remember you can fly

Welcome Home

It’s always darkest before the dawn

Whatever you sleep on is where you will run

Where you’re from

Is only referencing where you have gone

If you are always home

There is no moving on

No time passing

Now is forever lasting

You welcome chaos because your house is so calm

Vices

Weed, ecstasy, strippers sitting next to me

Blow and some recipes

Drugs are whats left of me

Hugs

Feel like sex to me

The morning of

I’ll lose the rest of me

Gone

A mind without the body

Restfully

Specially laid down

Sleep to rebound

Tunes out the headache I’d would have felt now

~

Is this heaven?

I’ve tasted the best of what everyone was telling me

I poisoned my mind

To open my life

With the possibility of a felony…

But I do it

Because how do I hang out with people who don’t

Every relation that knows me has connect in their phone

Zone

Isolation

Brings medication scattered through out the home

Passing out at laundry mats

So I don’t fall asleep all alone

I lay back down

Tonight will be another round

But tomorrow I’ll wake up

Feeling what I feel now

A Letter From The Body

I’m the part of you that never stopped doing what you loved

I beat the heart in you for eternity just because

I love this

And because love

You believe you don’t deserve all of this

You believe we’re separate

When I pick up the tempo

You try to correct it

I only know love

I live here uncorrected

We welcome you

Please join the celebration

We know time is a solved equation

Words are friendly too

They help add to the sensation

We are living too

Our truth we are all living through

Just remember we’re here….

 

-From the part of you

doing what you love to do

Why Is This Not Fun

I’m making things up

Please don’t bother me

You’re making me nuts

All this straight line thinking

Reasons behind questions

Makes it hard to play with my thinking

Have fun with what I’m seeing

Keep making things rhyme

You show me a mind thinking

Really really hard

But why question my being?

Like I’m here to press a red button

Blow up this whole thing

What do you think I’m doing?

You think I hate your whole team?

Go play with someone else if you are going to make it all seem

Like I’m trying to manipulate you

Block your own dream

I’m having fun

I’ve been making up the whole thing

I wanted to kick it with you

But I guess I’ll just leave

The Page That You Are Reading

I don’t have anything to say

But a blank sheet of paper

Isn’t worth the price that you’d pay

But I’m happy you could stay

This connection we’ve made

Through isolation

Through really liking rhyming but really having nothing to say

I’m happy I found you

A receptive eye

Forgive me if these words that I write

Are ultimately meaningless

But it’s connection to you that I like

Hopelessly writing sequence

I only dream of other people

How do I be with these other beings

Tell them I’m absolutely peaceful

I thought I need a tool

In order to draw this paradox

I sit alone and stare a lot

What’s cool about Jay-Z besides his lot of yachts?

Beside his nba team

Beside his music being hot?

Because that’s not me

I can rhyme

But I’m pretty silly when authority is the line

I don’t take life seriously

Seriously

I’m barely aware of the time

I don’t have lessons for listeners to find

The only lesson I’ve learned is…

It’s all meaningless

One decides what the meaning is

The meaning is no meaning

No teaching in the seeing

The way that I am being

Is all there ever is

Speechless

Celebrating with all that lives

I attempt entertaining

By way of the symbols we’re relating

But a melodic sounding nothing is all I give

Morning

Morning warms the evening cold

The sunshine holds

Its feeling glows

This is always here

This is always home

This moment tuned in

Relate with human

Grow the groove I groove in

Move with the flow

Spontaneous

The one you don’t know

The “maybe this is real

but really there’s no way to ever know”

We are always that

We only come back to know

The groove that we are

Is the only way we can go

Whole

Both sides of a show

The know and unknowing

The warm which coldness holds
