What Does Your Name?

I have a name;
I live it without a thought or care.

You were given a name,
The brand that left you not...or the same.
From others.
They called yur name and you knew what it felt.
How have you not taken the time to temper the sheet you were given.
Those who gave it to you, either held great expectations or left you to doodle along the blank lines.

I am an artist,
I have a name, a canvas where I play a stroke every breath I take.
Most of the time the figures, themselves, make!
But now and then I take the time myself to soak my brush with delight to make a real damn stain!

Let me not forget,
That if I wish my painting to be great that I take care and caution to not make a mistake.
But Hooraah'! I do have an excess of white paint.

But alas! Young droog,

All good things are ill spent.
That muddied water, let it spill. Let that rain come and wash away, all things you had
never intended.
Now Go! And make your name.

Allowing words to manipulate the/ meaning of my thought, always gets to me/ do I ever think O' yu will wonder/ but one day for heavens yu will see me./ I only mean what I feel. Honesty. I'm very weak, too scared have I been of trying./ What worth is it all, wen soon we could be dying./ old misery let yu sneak upon me/ old wishful thinking let yu drown not feed.

I wish I was a butterfly. To be able to flow with the wind , reach new heights, discover the world, even if it is meaning to be totally alone.

Eyes

Just something I randomly thought of :) ------- We have two eyes. Here's how this work: let's pretend to every person, the left eye is the brain and the right eye is the soul.

Growing Hope

Field of flowers, hope so bright, Just the one I need. Set me free, launch my flight, Plant my new grown seed. Round I wander, picking stems, Grow my mind just right.

In Her Shoes

I never thought I'd be that girl, The one whose life could be walked through with shoes. It seemed absurd that a life could be reduced To such sole meaning, Such frivolity.

Labels

People strive to find themselves, making it easier to know themselves. But what people don't seem to realize is that labels are destructive.
