Can’t Hurt Them, Can’t Hurt Me

Words only have power if you let them. When they were pointed at me, I let them.

Broken machines don’t give prizes. Broken people don’t give love.

It can be anything that breaks our spirit, rocks our worlds, or rattles our foundations.

I keep picturing Kindergarten Cop only Arnold is screaming, “It’s not the virus!”

Some loved ones are gone because they’re in a better place now. Others are gone because I am.

Sure, there were times that I was wrong. It wasn’t every time, though.

Even if I convince them of the truth today, they’ll just believe another lie tomorrow.

I may have enlightenment, but that’s a very different thing than having control.

Zen’s great. But sometimes it’s OK to be like, “What the…?!”

In my head, I was forever 21 and reaching middle age just didn’t seem to fit with my persona.
