Human Experience

I ran out of the class and down Second street towards
Market to catch the train home
Nobody noticed the tears pouring down my face
What was I running from? Was I trying to escape the past or
the irony that the past is a repeat of your future if you allow it to
I’ve been acting out lately, not being me and I realized
It’s because of the lack of affection I am going through
I am amazed I even noticed this behavior
I was able to separate in my mind and analyze myself as a third party
Tomorrow will make this history and I will grow from this.
The Landmark takes so much out of me, raw human experience
It’s refresh, challenging and draining all at the same time but I feel like
a rose bud closed up and these experiences will allow me to blossom
into a beautiful human being

Love is Patient

I wanted to make your heart my home
but you boarded up the front door
so I turned around and walked away
pretending not to care
In order to protect my heart
I feel you peeking out the window watching me
each time you held me it feels like the first time
I feel protected, safe and loved in your arms
It’s a special place I love to visit, is my sanctuary
I know I was blessed when I asked God,
“send me your most honest man”
a week later you came into my life
I am attracted to how you life your life:
Integrity, faith and honesty
you have raised the bar in what I look for in a partner
I admire you for telling me no and working on yourself
You always seem to do the right thing.
