Get off your ass and stop complaining.
I’m aware that it’s hard maintaining,
but have you ever tried painting
your thoughts instead of drowning?
You look so much better
when you aren’t frowning…
Rewind and rethink to become in sync
with your heart and not your ego.
Until you do, you’ll never be content.
Just tricked by the placebo.
All the time spent waiting
could be used to push through.
Don’t allow your life to go by
without truly understanding
why you’re here…
What you do is what changes
your situations.
Here’s a cheat code for obtaining
life’s best sensations,
don’t compete with anyone but you.

The Harvest
Koyi wobbled to her shabby wood and straw kaz, holding her machete and an old burlap bag with some yams. Someone had laid another basket in front of the patched up door—rose apples today. They were a bright reddish pink, looking waxy and crisp, just the way she liked them. The culprit knew her very well. Those would be crunchy, juicy and sweet—she could tell—but she gathered all the will she could muster and pushed the basket aside to enter her home. She had already said no repeatedly and would not be taking bribes.
