Gary went to the store to get a 5 lb sack of potatoes and two boxes of Hamburger Helper while fiening for dope he couldn't cope without a fix Gary rushed back to the house gave his mother the bag handed her the change then rushed out the door to hustle up enough to tend to his dying need Gary had enough his mother told him it was enough he knew it was enough but Gary was wise enough to know not to break the trust to get the drugs and shadder the foundation underneath him Gary was addicted to heroin but he was no heathen
it's a powerful scene from
The Corner most of us seen
years ago that part deeply touched my heart in many ways memories of those days like grace and mercy love and respect for one another followed us
through out the struggle of existence

Tense (02082026)I am emotionally poetic turning the hands on a analog to the time I want it to be regardless of the time it is ask me what time is it I'll tell you "It's time to be" |
Creative Distraction (02052026)taking mental health breaks are very important and self therapeutic it's wise to know when to checkout and check in we adults no longer have to go in the house when someone yells for us to come inside we're on our own we decide when it's time and sometimes our decisions aren't on our side growing up is like a tide sometimes we have to tell ourselves SHUT UP, SIT DOWN, STOP we have to tell ourselves NO! wisdom knows what to do when it's time to do what one should do life consistently presents the same potholes wait time cancellations and delays until we truly understand the underlying lesson difficult situations aren't coincidences or punishment it's the voice of our mother's telling us "SIT YOUR A** down somewhere |
Tide Me Over (02052025)in every wave a new and shifting emotional weather taking mental notes while struggling to hold the fragments together carried adrift by currents that pull me far from shore I splash against the reach of time until strength in me is spun I scribe to find peace inside the ocean’s mighty roar |
Cautionary Note To Self (02052026)intervening in someone else’s path can lead to backlash well intention can lead to resentment advice and warnings can backfire and ruin a relationship it can be a social and relational risk overstepping boundaries to warn someone about a bad situation can put one in a bad situation pointing out one's recklessness can cause one to lash out flip out and blame you for their anxiety ones concern may be rejected and cause a rift helping others comes with risks and one should be prepared for a negative reaction when interfering with someone else's actions |
The Core Of Being Wizedon't let the simulation frustrate you "it's only a simulation" don't let the simulation depress you "it's only a simulation" don't let the simulation get to you "it's only a simulation" like a vibration is a stimulation like a condition is a stipulation a simulation is a man made creation a man made situation an advanced civilization using powerful technology to create a false sense of reality realizing it's only a simulation is the key to unlock ancient philosophy and spiritual concepts aimed at achieving happiness and flourishing through difficult opposing views spiritual exercises and meditation promotes self control and transforms one's soul to a greater dimension did I mention "it's only a simulation harvesting energy attempting to take back Prometheus act of empathy man think he can touch the sun can he we soon shall see it takes forbidden knowledge to challenge the interworking and manipulation of what is "only a simulation" |
Unpacking Damaged GoodsI been under attack since I left the sack if I could talk my first words would have been put me back I would've been a runaway at birth if I could walk my first day on earth the best move I made is when I moved away I realized the longer I stayed was a big mistake I decided to work on my craft and create space to reduce the pressure lift the weight weighing me down the spirit of obligation making me feel obligated after all we are related that explanation statement and action taken is the reason my heart is broken I can only be open to strangers I can't get emotional support from those I love with all my heart it's a numbness I can't explain when I talk to God I complain I ask God to explain why trying to be positive the cause of so much pain why is there so much quarrel in the family trait how did my cousin walk away with everything my grandparents built and her name isn't even on the family quilt I have the right to be uptight when something don't sit right why should I get bit ... |
UniversalizeI marvel at the first generational curse I broke when I wrote "Hear Me" on a sticky note to denote I am the voice of those who suffer in silence I'm on assignment to weather the storm regardless of the climate change I'm different you can call me strange I went from knowing nothing to knowing things beneficial enough to sustain after the rain came down left a flood behind searching the night sky for a sign that's when the stars started to align |
