If I wasn’t ambitious,
this would be a hell of a lot easier…
The principal walked into my office, and said “this is going to sound unprofessional, but…”
and then he said something totally appropriate.
I laugh at the rebels, who don’t want to pay the price
they’re only pretending.
A girl I knew, from long ago, read one of my poems
and messaged me, because she got triggered by my words
I exchanged some civil messages back and forth (Oh, so careful, to keep any emotions out of it), but then she got more upset
so I put the angry beast out of her misery, and unfriended her.
It was humane. Most people are looking for an excuse to be upset,
because their lives are so dull. They don’t want to stop reading.
The moralizers, aren’t moral—they just want to feel comfortably superior.
If you could have the glory, from doing what you want
would you, do it?
Of course.
This would be
me,
on the golf course—doing something difficult with style
with ease,
far away, from petty people.
Making a living at it, would be, better than gravy.
Now, I rely on poetry.
What if, there was no glory, and only ridicule
would you, do it?
I am doing it. I embrace what makes sense to me, regardless of how crazy.
“Don’t you know, that you don’t have a chance?”
“I don’t consider the odds—impossible, means nothing to me.”
I don’t think my dreams will ever materialize, but I live there, anyway
And if you hug poverty, when you might embrace riches
because you need to gamble, to be who you want to be
Would you, do it?
Of course.
People are miserable because they live with limits
There is always someone telling them what they can’t do
and pretty soon,
they start telling themselves that.
Most people make all of their life decisions
because of money
and they wonder why their dreams aren’t worth anything.
The great ambition of my life
is to be me, in all of its glory
and you would be surprised, how many
have a problem with that.
They won’t be my friends, and if they are my friends
and they find out
they will insist I change.
Once you’ve spent enough time by yourself
and you love who you are
you won’t trade that for
anything, especially not
a lack of love.
If not hate,
the world has
a lack of love.
I do it, and it’s never appreciated by those who can’t or even don’t know what they want
