“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”

– Helen Keller

Seek and Find 
All I am is all I was and all I have ever been 
All I ever will be has been here all along
She and I, Her, we, Me myself and I go way back 
Old friends transformed from worst enemies 
Acceptance, forgiveness, courage, loyalty 
What purpose do I serve ask for truth who am I serving
Life's purpose is knowing oneself 
Nothing is wrong with me
I am who I am supposed to be 
Knowing the role perceived for me
Society aims social graces and the game of shame 
I am not your stereotype but projected perceptions of who you and I think I am
I think therefore I am only what I can imagine myself to be
You can think still you do not know yourself 
I think I know you until I find out how much I never knew

Years of observing and reporting in my adolescent journals
Focusing inward only gave me more questions and the same questions 
a repetitive cycle of inane busy work for my unconscious subconscious 
I turned my focus outside and finally began to see 
I was my father, I am my mother, I was my aunt who wrote poetry with my uncles altruistic capabilities
I am intuitively drawn to habits and patterns cycles and circles of life
Passed on to me, knowingly, unknowingly, 
I can only do what I can do, I try to learn things I couldn't do, they were not for me, was I supposed to 
If it was meant for me to do I would be doing it, I cannot pick them up because they are not mine
And I don't need to learn new tricks 
Know oneself, love oneself, correct oneself, respect oneself,
Do what you love and love what you do
Make a life you do not want to escape 
I create music and play guitar by ear 
I am not a seamstress like my Mother
Not a dancing queen like my elder brother
I never played dolls, this Tom boy played ball
Mom could do almost everything I wish I could do half as much as her,
Funny how half us kids can whistle 
the same half received appendectomies 
Do I see patterns to make sense out of my own life or is it all designed to make sense for me

I thought I knew you but now I don't know what to do
Where did this new admiration come from?
I care for you, but not the way you want me to
Spring fling, now you're sprung on me

We had a deal, I thought so anyway
That's how I feel so now please, go away
Sessions over lover
Thanks for the fun under the covers

It was just a spring fling just a silly thing
It was just for fun, only a game
Please don't you tell me that you love me
Just go away
Spring fling now you're spring on me
