writing

I write when I least expect it, suspect it, inspect it
I write because i'm going to pop if I don't
I write as a way to get closer to something
to understand, to dissect, to peer into my soul as I teeter into the skatepark bowl of a place I don't know
a new page
a new chapter
a new highway, vista
it's weird, entering into uncharted waters
carving your way through the ice as you go
chopping the leaves with your machete
scorching your path
i'm a little scared
i'm a little unclear
but one thing I know
is
that if I am ok with now
if I don't think too hard about later
if I squeeze the life outta life that exists
then that's all I need, all i'll ever need
and you never really need to look much farther than that
because if you can answer your own questions now
when the time comes for other questions you'll be ready
but stay where you are right now
and be here right now
and stop comparing where you could be
just be
and live a little, love a lot
right now
and you'll be fine.
