Today I met myself

I met a vampire today
He told me he was a creature of the dark and that I was just like him. He told me to come to the shadows because that's where I belong. He told me all the things that were wrong with me. He told me I was prideful, greedy, devious, and extorting Life out of Universe. He showed me where I belonged, and told me to join him.

And I said to Hell with that.

I am a creature of the light because I am full of light. I am full of light and power and freedom. I don't hide my flaws in the black I bring my flaws to the white, and turn them into color. I bring Life into Universe because without me this Life would be black, not even a white canvas full of the anticipation of possibility; but black, void and empty. I am a bruised, painted, morphing piece of flesh; i'm not a lost soul stuck in mortality and never changing. I am change, I am flow, I am the trees and birds and the river. I am the breath, blood, and heart. I am Human.

Grand thief at Poetry

The world and its mistress returned to his house; and twinkled hilariously on his lawn. But with a potential second outcome at stake, there's an inherent pressure. I reckon it was going to be a grand surprise to him. When he was innocent but proven guilty; but they may withdraw. Because he's been practically ripping her clothes off every time there's been a camera.
But what didn't she like about it?
Can you remember? Did he kill her captain too? Her captain nodded as if he expected as much.
The only problem after she sank, she combined speed with surprise. He said oh "what do I care?" one final element of subordinate behavior deserves consideration and the creep did not get fired. But Saturday was chosen for her expulsion. Her father wasn't there. So she dropped out, she worked a lot
She doesn't understand.

I passed

Do you remember?

Do you remember singing songs about Hobos? And thinking we could make it big. Do you remember watching rated R movie in your basement? You never told me, and my innocence was lost forever. Remember when you gave me vodka? Yeah you never told me about that one too. Do you remember inventing rides and making me be the guinea pig? I remember my scars, they still show on my knees. Do you remember making the Hyper Blaster 3000 and we couldn't stop laughing? Remember when we put dirt in water and made Tyler drink it because we told him it was chocolate milk? Remember when he actually did? Remember making water balloons and using them as pets? And we cried when they popped. Remember singing to Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Did you know I still have the songs memorized? Remembering when we cried at the end of season 7?

Remember sliding off your mattress onto the floor, and I learned my first Icelandic word. Remember making a Mormon Cappuccino? and filming a commercial for it? Remember my awful perm? Remember my Capri's? Well you should you made fun of me for wearing them (they weren't baby pants!) Remember when we came to High school and became loosers who eat lunch with Mr. Nelson because people scare us? Yeah I remember the good times.

Yeah, I remember.

Lex
 I remember listening to music so I couldn't hear myself cry. I remember watching you fall down the stairs because you passed out. I remember thinking you were crazy. I remember you making me sit in a corner because when I ate candy it was too noisy for you. I remember telling my friends about you, and they just stared. I remember seeing your guilty defiant face when you ate those six pills. I remember coming to visit you and all I wanted was a hug, not a robot. I remember you screaming at the world, you kept saying "this isn't your fault, this isn't your fault, this isn't your fault..." But I remember that it was.

Lace
I remember coming into your room because you were crying. I don't remember what happened to you, but I remember I was angry. I remember when you'd spit on me, I thought you were a boy. I remember when you'd sneak out, I never told because I remember I wanted you to trust me, But I remember I should've told, maybe I wouldn't have to remember all the memories. I remember you coming home covered in throw up, and you brought a friend with you. I remember when I hugged you goodnight and you smelt funny..you got in trouble that night.  I remember you hating Cabbage Roman noodle salad,  and mason jars and ribs, because it reminded you of him.

But I remember when we'd hold hands and dance around books, and when we touched the book, I remember we had to hit our heads on the table for fun (but I remember too well.) I remember when LMFAO was actually good. I remember singing about pants being too high and how it made his package look reeeaaall nice. I remember singing about dogs in a window and my step grandpa would harmonize (bark bark). I remember going up the canyon and proclaiming to the universe that we were powerful. I remember when we used to beat each other up (and I still have the scar on my head from that key) but I remember we were laughing the whole time. Until you shoved me in the bathtub full of water, then I remember I cried. I remember making up songs about knights and dragons. I remember when we became best friends, and I'll never forget.

Smile at a teacher
Smile at a student
Smile at toddler
Smile at a baby
Smile at a pregnant lady
Smile at the sun
Smile at the moon, then howl
Smile at the trees
Smile at water
Smile at the Devil, then laugh.

Create.

write. paint. dance. sing. live.

Write because no one will hear what you have to say, but they all want to see what you mean. Write because   life sucks sometimes all you have is pen and paper, they'll never leave you. Write because everyone wants their voice to be heard and everyone's ears are plugged into Apple. Write because it's beautiful.

Paint because you're a mute and you can't make people stop and stare unless you have a canvas and brush in hand. Paint because your eyes see the world in color while everyone else is stuck in gray. Paint because you're throwing your soul on White and it is beautiful.

Dance because the only thing you know how to do is move. Dance to show everyone who says they can't they are liars. Dance because nothing makes you feel more alive then 1,2, step. Dance because no one will listen and no one will see but you will make them all watch.Dance because movement is the same in all countries. Dance because you're not afraid to show the world you're beautiful.

Sing because music connects every heart. Sing because you want to be heard and you're tired of no one listening. Sing because it opens the soul and everyone has forgotten where they placed there's. Sing because it feels natural. Sing because every voice has it's own pitch in this symphony we call life; and no matter how ugly is gets, it'll still beautiful.

Live and create. create your life then Destroy. and begin again.
