Questions
Is it worth it to give up extravagance,
And everything you've ever known
For a chance to own your life?
Is making your quality of life physically worse
Worth the pursuit of happiness and novelty?
Honestly, I don't have the answers

Is there something I could have done?
Or is it not possible for fate to be outrun?
Thoughts like these will continue to be spun
Answers to these thoughts, will be none
An answer that I will wish for
That will never come ashore
That will never be fulfilled
Answers remaining a blur

Unknown Reasons
People leaving for unknown reasons
Reasons that you'll never come to know
Sometimes people only exist for a single season
And then you go on without them
Forever

Sweet tea, gentle breeze,
Prize-winning squash... a scream?

Writing in resistance to the State is one kind of activism; writing about anything else is another. You don’t know what might help someone—what might meet a reader’s fear, grief, rage, confusion. It might be a poem about snow or shoes or the confessing mirror. Poetry is an endurance technology.

Resistance is not futile
It is only futile if we don’t resist
One step in front of the other
One time in front of the another
Each moment changes the next
Take one step
Just one step
Celebrate the step
One step - one time
And it begins

It’s true that lingering in the past too much can inhibit your future, but if you know what to look for, it can also predict what's to come.
Go back to harvest the best parts of what you've lost, then leave.

Liberation from home,
Roaming the world in freedom.
Being able to write your own life,
With no one else to cause strife.
