paint-block. poem-time.

i was going to say i should be painting

but i should remove the word should

from my vocabulary

i am writing

a year ago i started out on a journey

at once brave and foolish

for one can never know

just how ill-equipped they are

before stepping foot outside

and continuing past the comfort zone

if you knew the extent of my forgiveness

i might be considered a saint

but i also swear

and sometimes have

an unresolved heart

though i'm working on that, too

because resentment sucks

what if i just said

i love this life i love this life

over and over again

even when the shit gets tough

and i say i want to run away

i love this life i love this life

i will sit with what resides within

until i can seek outside interests

without going without
