"sometimes you fall

spinning through space

grasping for the things that keep you here

sometimes you catch them

sometimes you don't
sometimes they catch you"

sometimes the things in life we need

are not the same things we want

i find myself grasping

for things, relationships, stability

at what point do we accept

that sometimes what we need

isn't always what we want

sometimes the things we need

are the ones that find us

catch us

it is when they catch us

that we need to hold on for dear life

monsters...

when we are little we are afraid of the unknown

what is under our bed -- in the closet

as we grow, so do our fears...

we still fear the unknown

letting it change us -- afraid to live our lives

afraid of what we are capable of...

we fear our own emotions

needing validation -- for our feelings

we begin to lose ourselves...

becoming our own personal monster...

the unknown is scary

feeling inadequate is terrifying 

finding out who you are -- that is liberating...

true love...

"When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs.
When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence."
-Ansel Adams

my first love is to write
my second to shoot

there is something about them
something that makes me whole

a peace that over comes me
providing clarity in a blurry world

so much passion can be found
in simple sentences, moments captured

i want to create images for my words
images of what i long for

peace, passion, love

song of the moment...

I don’t know where we’re going
but i know we’ve gone too far and
i hope it isn’t showing
but i think i love you and
i can’t believe you’re leaving
just when i let you in and
when you had me believing
i could feel again

i could give a million reasons
why we should not be friends
our moods change like the seasons
when my mood ends your mood begins and
you’re a tease, you’re a cockblocker,
you’re a loudmouth bitch, and a big talker,
but that’s okay
you’ll grow up someday

chorus
you’re the pill i never wanted to take—
an anti-misanthrope
mine was the heart i never thought you would break
my one hope was that i’d survive you

i’ve shown up for you
in ways that boy never would
but i know you’ll go back to him and
maybe you should, but
i hope you don’t go backwards
cuz i’m going on ahead and
one day you’ll wish that you had
stuck with me instead

chorus

as i wander through union square
i remember when you followed me there
you were the stalker i kinda wanted to have
being your half-boyfriend was only half bad

cake...

in my line of work i see a lot of cakes
but this has more to do with having your cake
and eating it too....

why is it human nature to want it all
even if we have all we need
we still have the need for more...

when will it be enough
will just one-someone ever be enough
for some....

one love
one heart

one goal
one life

to share...

that is enough for me...
