They are but the branches of a tree called me

The truth is i can only make as much time for you as you make for me
because under it all thats the way we want it and make it to be
this rule sets up our days in an unspoken harmony
you are all my friends, if i could hang out with you every day you know i would
but because we know we cant, we feel it must continue this way
i will call you, you will cal me, some times your to busy and other times its me
however when we do make time for each other its life lived in unity

This push, shove, pull, live, kill, die, hardly have a moment to breath world, will not stop

This wake, read, work, type, present, share, empty your inbox, sit in traffic for an hour on the way home world, does not stop

This eat, drink, piss, shit, hug, kiss, leap and retreat, all in the hopes of finding love world, can not stop

This breakfast in bed, high school football practace, dance recitle, praise the lord, try to get a few hours of sleep before monday morning beggins world, should not stop

Its all the things previously experianced and all of the things hoped for
all the places we want to travel, the miles we have traveled, and the ones we want to travel once more
Its the things we know, the ones felt, the ones we are learning, and what we want to feel along with everything else inside of us that makes up this thing called understanding
its the flutter of a heart crushing once again, and the calousing of a heart broken like a limb

these limbs of life, the people in ours, and the roads we have traveled to become what we are are the reasons we move forward
They are but the branches of a tree called me
these passions, my desire, the one that i pray to, all the feelings i have deep inside me adding fuel to my fire
they are but the roots of the tree called me, giving me permission to live


stop

slow down

stop for just a moment



catch a breath, go on, catch another more
hold one, notice that? do hear that?
welcome to yourself
welcome to your inner thoughts that are the center of your being

stop
slow down
stop for jsut a moment
dont get scared, its only you,
its only who youve always wanted to be
NOT TURE? ,TO MUCH?
you wanted to be someone else?
then youve got to, stop, slow down, and take a few more moments or two to examine yourself
do this daily
make it a habbit
do it every hour
so that when you are becomeing what you have set your goals to be
you dont forget everything that you are, why it is, and why you want to become everything else that you know your meant to be


friend i will remember you, in this shape and in the next
i will take time out to breath with you, and ill be waiting untill the next
you are all loved, each and everyone of you, i know that you are something i can not replace.
