BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE CAN BE A LAWYER

In sad songs and heartbroken poems

you always hear about the kids 
who are told they won't make it. 
That they will be nothing when they're old. 
For once I want to hear something about the kids 
who are told that they should be and will be everything. 
Only to come to the realization at 14,
that they can't do everything. 
That sometimes,
you try, and you try, and you try,
but it's just not enough. 
That sometimes,
you just can't do it. 
Sometimes, 
you're just not smart enough. 
Sometimes,
you're just not quick enough. 
Sometimes, 
you just can't live up 
to the expectations 
that have been given to you
since you were born.

THE CROW AND THE LIGHT BULB

 The Crow and the Light Bulb
The poisoned salmon come back to spawn
The frozen mighty hammer thawing quickly
To the children of the world; run free
The lawyer and the priest
The river and the seeds that will grow
The frost is lifted in love and in justice
To the fallacy of unchallenged myth
We Salute you
Through snow drift dreams and holy thought
The Crow and the Light Bulb
The pen and the hammer
To save the antidote of water.

HEALING
 There are no monsters hiding in your bones. 
There are no ghosts in the closets of your mind. 
There are no creatures crawling through you. 
You can say it all you want,
that there is a darkness living inside you, 
and that's why you feel the way you do,
but it isn't true. 
You are human, 
and yes,
you are flawed,
but there is no evil in you. 
You are a beautiful person. 
You are a kind person. 
And the chemicals in your brain may be imbalanced,
but there are no monsters hiding in your bones. 
There are no ghosts in the closets of your mind. 
There are no creatures crawling through you. 
You feel sad,
but you are not the sadness.
