DON'T HOLD IT

Sometimes all the shit come at once like a major episode of dysentery
They catch up with you in terrible places where your shame should not show
People look at you clean and healthy not knowing how long you have been holding it up for their comfort
And may be for the safety of your reputation
You don't feel sure if letting a little fart would let the whole thing out
So you hold up even the list of your pain
Fearing it would embaras you
Yes emotional dysentery 
Very painful but you can hold it up for days months years and may be more
But one day it catches up with you
The you spill the manure in the place you were always expected to be mature
Or it kills you because suddenly you can't breathe
I know that it is hard to let it go
But a talk with me can do you some good
Don't hold it up

WHEN WORDS WOULDN'T SPEAK

When words have nothing to say But the heart is full What would speak for you? What would speak to you? When the quiet of a heart And the sound of a meldy Would resonate with your truth That words could never say When you have to quietly shout to the world Silenltly tell your story What would speak to you? What would talk to you? When the chrip of birds And the rumbling of a waterfall Would not speak to you When quiet would not do What would speak to you? What would talk for you? What would authentically tell the world your story Authentically Not hiding a single note of the rhythm of your heart What would tell the world your desire Your fears and terror What would speak to you? What would speak for you? An old melody That holds a memory A sound that holds a longing That knows the notes of your heart Would that speak for you? Would it speak to you?

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more
