looking back… sometimes i wish i knew where the brakes were

just tired
very sore is all
being inside aching day in day out
year after year
yeah im exhausted
from trying to live in/around my life

just living murders me
i have to rest soon (hours later. still writing.)
shoulders throb
bones are slowed down but still dust ends attach

vanished
this is feel
this is my chest staying to grind
so i thank soothingness
i thank my eyes and my broken skeleton that see

carrying around my rotten leg here
hear the grind
plant the dirt falling
shaken from my pant leg
out comes (the) earth-knee-root-rot

buckles loose
falls to my anklebone in splinters
all of it
knee cap
everything splitting apart years
now pills western medicine

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."
Chief Joseph - Nez Perce

    ever so real
    so honest
    and true
    beautifully done through all of the clouds and veils of pain.

    I'm sorry for your pain,

    we were born with one body - thats it - as children, we beat our selves up with craziness
    and then we pay for it later on in life...

    Stay strong.

    aint that the truth

    as children
    as teens
    as young adults

    fuck 'em if they can't take a joke
