Floating slowly up
Each day is a new experience. Yet we as humans treat them sometimes as though each day is the same. We follow time, we do the same things over and over relentlessly. Rise, do our morning routine, which is usually the same things everyday, at the same time, with the same people. We go to work at the same job and do the same work for the same pay sometimes for years at end.

Step outside
Turning away from all I have heard, all that's been spoon fed. The day feels quick and yet so long and i'm tired and wanting bed. I don't want to work a job that lasts all day for pennies on the dollar. I don't want to rise before the sun and rush through the maze to a building that engulfs me.

Awakening to love
The seasons, they go by. Raking up the memories and trying to keep count. The crispy ice across the blades of grass as a New Year starts. The hope that keeps them staying in the fear. Pretending that from year to year we have so many things that were better than the other. Never imagining that we were always smarter as the small humans that we were.

These are the times
What can I say that would make anyone stop to listen? What could I possibly say that would make another understand? We have all walked through our lives, being told what to think, to believe, to do. We are told what is right and what is wrong and we don't question it, but we do question the urge inside ourselves that tells us to question it all.

Just saying
It's December. A time when we are all expected to be cheery. When we are expected to give to others and feel some special magical feeling. I used to feel it. Even when I was working retail and had to endure everyone's moods, stress and the endless months of Christmas music.

Timelines collapse
I sit here from the time I get home from work, exhausted. More than I've ever been before. Alive and not sure what is flashing just out of my sight. I call it jumping timelines. Flickers around me yet just out of sight. The dreams they keep coming til I'm just not sure.

Holidays gone by
When I was younger, the holidays were great and seemed to last a lifetime. It seems that back then families did so much more together but maybe it's just that it's my family so I don't notice it anymore. When I was younger our family got together for the annual party. It was my Grandmas, Aunts and Uncles, cousins, siblings. My grandmas house stuffed so tight the kids mostly sat on the floor, or perhaps the front porch because with so many people congregating it was overly warm.

Time of my life
Feeling like its right around the corner. Time slips out of my grasp like sands on a beach, the water lapping at my feet. Apprehensive. Curious and trying to ward off the fear that half the world is holding tight to. As I rise in the morning, from learning all night during dream I'm exhausted going in and the days seem to last forever and at the same time they go so fast that the year seems eaten.
