A Piece of Peace

You trained.  You taught.  You fucked.  You played.  You saw.  You loved.  You take me on incredible energy rides.  I handed you the string and I was the yo yo.   You filled a lot of my bucket list extraordinarily.  I make  people in my life who I needed them to be. to learn who I am.  You met me where I thought I was until I moved to somewhere different.

We don’t find our way alone.

I don’t like that I need to see myself in life and death experiences.  I don’t like to own what I see.  I don’t like that I don’t know who I am going to be tomorrow, or what I will see in myself and accept or  deny.  I have boundaries and desires but those change.  I want you to have what you want.  I want what I want.  I want to feel desire run through my veins for life, for the next minute, for a feeling in my body negative or positive.  I don’t want to edit what I say or feel.  I want to see the homeless person and know that homelessness is in me.  I am still searching for home.  It is in me somewhere, maybe it is the “I am” from moment to moment.  I so envy the ones that believe they know and those that feel solid, those moments are fleeting for me.  I meet someone and I decide who they are, I don’t give them a chance.  It has been decided.  I sift and shift thru layers of who I thought I was, searching for who I am now.  Counting some of the friends I lost because of the intensity, because of reawakening.  Not being good or on course w/others has cost me a lot.

I am writing this in a bar, I had to get out of my house where I see the reality of what needs to be done, or should be done…I get lost there.  Here I watch people come in w/bored relatives walking behind them, sour and resigned looks on their faces. I sit here judging, alone w/my iPad, and my one drink.
