There is a girl crying in the subway so nonchalantly, i think it is beautiful seeing someone just let their feelings rush out of them without hiding. She’ll never know but i find comfort in seeing her cry, i have been in that situation many times. New York has a way of making you feel so alone, but in this moment it made feel understood.

the hill I'll die on

I'm running up the hill Sysiphus rolled his boulder Trying to get to the top So I can snatch beauty Out the eye of the beholder while I was running the world jumped out of my palms and landed squarely on my shoulders--

Atlas wasn't playing this shit is heavy but all the tragedy and triumph got me ready I just gotta hold it steady one foot in front of the other a wise man said don't have it covered have it smothered only stop to help a sister or a brother

I love you too I just hate me still I wont let death take me until I break free and find peace

maybe its up there next to the beholder maybe up there the world is a little colder thats why I approach this climb like I'm a soldier.

march - march - we in the garden of Eden and stopping is the apple don't bite. don't ever bite.

God did!

Consider how very fortunate you are. Consider it every day. The more you count your blessings, the more blessings there will be to count.

[yahyaea]

why not give it your all? why not love—in its purest form? why not bet on your entire existence? why not push the needle? why not kiss hard with tongue? why not live to tell the story? why not cuss like a sailor? why not fuck like you mean it? why not sing like mariah? why not care more than you need to? why not pray to all the god’s you know? why not share the good and the ugly? why not trip on the beauty of each and every star? why not be grateful for the little time we have left here?

I’ve reached the “I don’t have the energy to feed into that” era.

[yahyaea]

R eached out to touch a piece of the sky even when my foot got caught for a moment or two.

E ach time I found another ledge to hold onto, another way to make it to the next.

S tagnancy rang like a bell so I stood atop to silence the noise.

I nnerstand the roots, see how they connect, feel your faith and don’t let go;

L ook towards the signals that question where I’ve been told to walk, since it never really worked out for me anyway…

I nstead I cut up carpets, tore towers down and rebuilt them again-I’ve been known for a taste of chaos from time to time, but,

E gomania has no home here when the finish line refused to support its weight in the first place.

N ot a place to lie down and allow the worst of surprises to come to you, but did I listen? No.

C atch it before the opportunity passes you by- I thought your fire burned brighter than so.

E ven in the middle of the night you’re still plotting ways to make it to the greenery-

I admire that about you.
