B4 is curious. He lives, sometimes in North Carolina, sometimes in his head. He wonders at himself, and the world that surrounds him, and sometimes at the world that does not.

An Ode: For My Mother

Dearest mother, I wish to write to thee
On this motherly day of love and glee
To tell you how much I appreciate
The role that you’ve played in shaping my fate.
For, without your patient, loving way,
I would most certainly have gone astray.

And Still The Sun Will Rise

When I Am Up (for Mental Health Month)

When I am up, I am William the Conqueror and William Shakespeare and William Jennings Bryan all in one.

When I am up, life is an eternity of perfect days...

Know That I Too

To You, With Love, From Me

Please know I too have felt there is nothing left,
been afraid, and out of hope.
Please know I too have felt there is nothing left
and did not know if I could cope.

Please know that I too have felt alone

The Storm

rain
eyes strain
through liquid lines on window pane
lines arc
mind sparks
seeking secrets in the dark
clock ticks
thoughts flick
philosopher to lunatic
booms crack
flash back
air so heavy, sky so black
thoughts swarm

The rest of the month will hold a few more ups and downs with some dark and light ones in my attempt to reach as many people as I can during mental health month. (A goal set with my doc actually haha). We will see how it goes but I thank and love each of you for taking the time to read and respond. It means more than you can know.
