clothes, styles, identity

i realize
that i have over 40 tshirts in my room currently
and that's only tshirts .
i am partially proud and partially disgusted with myself .

do you notice people only go "whoa, that's a nice shirt"
when it's different ? like , you see an a&f sweater not a lot of people would say
hey , that's a nice sweater . i mean , the quality is amazing , the prices soaring
and yet when you find a piece of scrap from a shaggy vintage store
throw it on with something funky , someone goes up to you and says
the words that make you smile

it's weird , why do you say "thanks" when someone says your clothes are nice
i mean , they are your clothes , but it's not like you designed them ,
nor did you sew them , or stitch them piece by piece
what a conundrum

unless of course they mean that you pieced it together
so the colours beautify each other the materials rub
your appearance well uplifted by simple things gone haywire

and all the while we just want to be naked
and not judged

i am going to go
and return some clothes
to their rightful owners
and figure out with to do
with the rest of my things .
ridiculous
ridiculous

Jesus

i have a best friend
i love You .

i want to laugh , because i have so much to say !
but i really should just shut up a little a lot .
and listen , and not be a hypocrite
and see that people are just
like me . and that i am
not alone .

LIFE IS AMAZING .
my eyes are continually opening
and i wonder how i lived so blind yesterday
when today was brand new and looming and small
it's like a shout of YES !
and i am still so so blind and small .

what would i give up ?
merely everything ? it's hard 
it's easy . ridiculous .

why do i grip so hard
when the right way is
to let go . and take matters
into Your hands .

what Love .

wow my crayfish smelled
thank You for my nose
it makes me laugh
and want to hit
my brother .

good life

the difference

( between best friends and family )

i think a best friend has an obligation
to be nice , to be truthful , to have to be careful where they tread
to lie to you sometimes , to give it all they got , to trust you

i think a sister has no obligations
they do the things they do because they love you
they HAVE to love you
no matter what you share the same blood
they have no choice ; they can shun you but you are still ever connected
by the invisible string until the day you die
and reach heaven or feel hell , where earthly relationships exist no more

it's a fine line , but a big difference

i find it offensive .

good day

ps : i have an interesting topic to blog tomorrow
