I don't mean to be a bother, I don't need you to take my burdens away...

"Flying by the seat of your pants with God on your shoulder seems like a good plan. He hasn't steered you wrong yet..."

"I get so distracted by some people's reactions that I don't see my own faults for what they are. At times it's so self destructive, with no intent or motive, but behind this emotion, there lies a sensible heart..."

There's an elephant in the back of the room, and it's standing in plain view...

It is your birthday, Judas
but did you count the cost?
Stand inside the doorway
and survey all the lost.

Know your sins, Judas,
and put away your noose.
Think about your mother,
think of what you'll lose.

Are you ready, Judas?

What are your plans in the fall?

Have you thought of traveling south?

Have you considered it at all?

Nurse your wounds, Judas,

And bandage up your heart.

There is no time for grieving,

You too must play your part.

Memento mori, Judas,
We all must pay our dues.
Faith is the risk of knowing the truth,
"If it were up to me, I'd always lose."


"I get so distracted by some people's reactions that I don't see my own faults for what they are. At times it's so self destructive, with no intent or motive, but behind this emotion, there lies a sensible heart..."

I was just hoping, these storm filled skies would clear.

"Never fall in love with a poet...

Never fall in love with a poet
for their words are sometimes lies
on occasions they're a shield
on occasions a disguise

They will take you on a journey
upon which they bare their soul
in a bid to ease your burdens
in a bid to make you whole

But in every word they choose
for the stories that they tell
lies a little piece of heaven
and a little piece of hell

Tormented souls we poets are
sometimes quite broken and despaired
in search of lost expressions
missed by others who once cared

Never fall in love with a poet
unless you're prepared to share their pain
to hold them close on the darkest nights
over and again"

- Thomas Hawkins
