Blood does not run thickest-
Respect runs thickest;
encouragement runs thickest;
acceptance runs thickest.
Your default setting is not an entitlement,
but a privilege of choice-
Your choice to care;
to choose true humanity.

Hell. Oh.
I recognised happiness like an old friend today,
but I did not know how to say hello.

Vivacity
When an actress has no energy
to pretend…
What is she?

Eyes wide shut
Everything
ceases to exist
until we recognise it.
The reality of our reality is that
our interpretations invent
existence.
Everything we know
we only know through the eyes of
The Storyteller.
There is no
“fact”,
only how we see that fact.
Hence,
we cannot claim to
understand life.
Rather,
attempt to understand our incessant
misunderstanding.
Technically
“I wonder if technology will ever advance to the point where people adopt the ability to manipulate their innate, emotional identity with a filter? Imagine the day that Snapchat decides which personality traits are “undesirable”, and pairs that with the application’s current programmed definition of physical imperfection…”

Powers and minutes
She was born with tragic power,
to spend days & weeks pseudo-prioritising;
calculating the probability of failure,
obsessing over the pure intentions
she was destined to allocate polluted time.
Irony couldn’t save her droplets of capacity
from emptying into a puddle of indecision,
that not even the most durable wallflower
could turn into bloom.
Nor could the pursuit of endless possibility
fill her with enough reassurance
to outbid the armies of distrust
who, bit by bit,
sold her power to her mind.

Unopened potion
I have always felt I was born with magic
and palms nursing fear like limbs.
Acres of consequences,
catastrophes,
and power;
The responsibility of control.
Suppose we were all born afraid of
ourselves-
Just imagine,
the guilt and torture
of casting the wrong spell
… like harbouring the curse of inaction.
