Show me vivid,
Show me bright,
Let's stop all the niceties and little things
that trip up our actual actualizing,
For those are the pins in our heels,
The unspent change in our mouths,
Yet to pay homage to those we adore,
We walk about in our ripped jeans and painted skin and think,
"We are the light!"
"We are the fight!"
But really,
We see the boils,
We see them stare,
You coward!
At least the simple-minded have an excuse,
"Ignorance is bliss" as the phone flashes,
But you?
The initiated?
Your introversion seeks more than that,
More than the most liked most likely,
A soldier of creation,
"AT ANY COST" it screams to you,
And you whisper back saying,
"Give me the courage."

My thoughts and feelings flow out of my mouth and splatter across the walls like a paint. Let my tongue be the brush of your heart and mind. May my words shape a masterpiece of your soul..
