Sons and fathers
"I never hated my father. Sure I was mad at him, but never really hated him."
Jason picked up the axe and started cutting woods
After a few strikes he dropped the axe and watched the sunset on the horizon.
"I just wish I could've asked him some stuff you know? Like why the fuck would you kill yourself and not watch me grow? Why didnt you stay to to teach me how to change a tire or fix the goddamn tv?"
He picked up the axe again angrily and started chopping woods with rage.
"What-about-mom? " he was running out of breath.
"Why-leave-her-all-the-responsibility!?"
He dropped on his knees.
He heard a bird chirping from the distance,
Like a message toward him.
He looked around him, the wooden cabin on his right, trees all around him, and the path down with a view of sunset on the horizon.
He sat down.
"I'm good... I was raised good, a lot of good people around me to make me a person I am today."
"Sons always learn from their dads—some want to be like them, others the complete opposite.""
His dog came to him and started cheering him up.
"Thanks for always listening charlie...It's getting cold, lets go inside buddy."
He looked at the sun before she went to sleep for the night.
"Happy birthday dad."
Talkative ubers
There are 2 kinds of uber drivers
Talkative ones
Quiet ones
Lately I've been encountering alot of "talkative" ubers.
Don't get me wrong, I love talking to
people.
Everybody got a story that deserves
to be heard.
Even as a writer you need to listen
more to people, see more to use that
in your craft.
But alot of times I prefer if they're
quiet, So I can drown myself In my
daydreams listening to music and be
out of the place I am .
Daydreaming about being somewhere
else, with someone else, being a better
version of myself.
Thats the magic of music.
But lately I dont get that chance when
I'm In the uber. Suddenly out of
nowhere they start talking, sharing
their stories and experiences, their
regrets, and ...
At first I'd get slightly annoyed, In my
head I'd be like "please, 5 more
minutes until I get to home, I wanna
listen to some music man..."
But now everythings changed.
First of all, I'm honored that people
see me as a guy who would listen and
care for what their saying. Thats an
honor I will keep forever.
What if their stories, their experiences
are a message coming from the
universe to guide me?
What if these are gods guidences that
are coming my way?
It's funny...
One time I was very upset with a
situation at my work and I was burnt
out. Then I got an uber, and he
started talking about life
And how we have to enjoy the
moments.
I talked with him all the way home
and smiled. Not only because he was a
kind and hardworking man
But because he told me something
that I needed to hear.
From thay day forward, I listen more.
Why daydream when you can
experience life through others words?
How do I tell you
How do I tell you
That I dream of having a pizza date night with you?
You wearing a grey crop top
And a black plaid pajama pants
Me wearing a white tank top
And a grey sweatpants
You place the dough
I put the sauce on it
And spill some of it on my tank top
You laugh
I kiss you in the middle of it
We place the toppings
And wait for it
In the meantime
We listen to some frank ocean
And we embrace eachother
Until the pizza gets ready.
How do I tell you what I dream
When I can't even talk to you without
panicking?
How do I tell you?
Path of living
If It all goes well In the end
What would I say to myself?
All those fears and doubts that burried my joy for living
All the anxiety that took over me when I wanted to experience things
What would I say to myself then?
That I was wrong?
That It was just a mistake?
Im 22 and I let myself down too many times because of those thoughts
But what if I do get what I want In the end?
And all those things that pulled me back were not real?
Do I dare to look at myself In the miror then?
To smile at what I could've achieved
If I stopped caring about those thoughts?
What If I stop now?
Stop listening to my doubts, fears and anxiety?
To go live by myself alone somewhere
To walk the street without a care In the world
To express my feelings toward her
Two path ahead of me now
The path of living
And the path of silent death
Anytime, anywhere we make that decision
It matters
No matter the age
No matter the gender
No matter the race
No matter the fears and doubts
To live, Is to fight with those thoughts
And prevail.
Sunset’s lasagna
They were driving In the highway
Sunset gave an orange color to the world around them
They were planning to go to the beach
"Hey dude lets play a game."
He turned off the car's radio.
"Come on man..."
" lets play what if."
" what if? "
" yeah, I'll say some first then you do it."
"Ok."
"What if the world ended now?
What if the aliens attacked us tomorrow?
What if you could fly?"
He was silent, focusing on his driving, or so it would seem
"Its your turn."
He smiled briefly.
"What?"
"What if she knows how to cook a lasagna,
And Its the best lasagna you can ever taste?
What if she wears a beautiful yellow and white dress while making it
And she ties her long hair before that?
What if you go get her flowers to surprise her with her favourites, dandelions.
What if she nearly drops the lasagna because of your surprise?
What if you make love to eachother so well that night that time stops?
What if... she says I love you from her heart?"
Silence filled the car
"..."
"Its your turn now."
"..."
"What?"
"Dude... you passed the beach."
"Oh... my bad."
"..."
parallel world
They say when you dream and you see yourself
Its a parallel world
I saw a dream last night
Where me and you were looking for houses to buy
For moments
My doubts were gone
My fears faded
My smile brought back
You were so excited
I was proud
Then I woke up
Clock showed 3:33
I thought of that saying
If that was really a parallel world
I got so jealous of myself in there
He was with you
Planning a life together
In this world
I can't even talk to you...
Lost belongings
You felt like you didn't belong anywhere
I felt like I belonged to you
You walked faster than anything
Moving between people and worlds
I chased after you
But my legs gave up
They got sore of walking so fast
My heart ached
From pumping so fast
My soul dried
For forgetting myself
I only have a scent of you now
A faded image of your smile
a sea of your eyes
You're waiting for the next destination
Me?
I don't know.
Did you call me to come to you?
Oh darling...
Im tired.
