i've decided to test/stretch my vulnerability (since i'm always encouraging others to be vulnerable) and over the next 7 days i plan to post something everyday that shares the space i'm in, whether it be a video, poem, lines, whatever...
so i guess i'll start now...with day 1.
day 1
it's a preoccupation
a stubborn idea about who we are
a vision about how others should see us
yet only a portion of it is real
most of it consist of trivial notions we've conjured up in our heads
things we've chosen to cling to
a mindset that can't be broken
a pattern that won't be shattered
an unwillingness to allow life to lead us
instead we force our actions to match
where we think we should be going
while what is truly real passes us by.
dammit,
i left my lunch home
preoccupation at it's finest...
