Lorenzo

Image
My landlord shot his dog today, Lorenzo was his name. His crime was peeing on the floor, and pooping on the same.  He got so old, that uncontrolled, the turds would leave his body. The pee would flow, down his elbow, and make a pool of potty.  "What's this about!?"   My landlord shouts, "Not in the house!"  "Not on the rug!" "C'mon Lorenzo don't look so smug..."  "It wasn't me!"  "That's not my pee!"  "I’ve never seen that before!" I love you buddy You’re cute and cuddly  But i’ve got chores left to do. The kids are all grown  And this is our home I can’t constantly clean up your poo I know you get sad And it smells really bad When you mix doggy ointments and farts But I look in your eyes And then you look in mine  And I know what's in both of our hearts For so many years  You’d perk up your ears As I jingled my keys by the door You’d come bounding toward me To love and adore me I wouldn’t be ...

I'm Not Special

Image
I'm not special there's way too many people for me to be special unless I break through on Spotify or my Youtube Channel  I should give it a shot cause then I'd be special I actually would I remember Jim Carrey he said to be wary about getting real special getting all that you want 'cause it's not the answer. Well that's according to Jim and you can take it from him or you could give it a whirl And let the people decide if you matter or not please tell me I'm valuable  or I'll go home and eat chocolate So who decides I'm special... could it be me? I'm starting to think that a global recognition  of my awesomeness  might not be the thing that I need to be special. Link-Tree:  https://artist.landr.com/music/672985728943

Vulnerability Is Hard.

*there's a song at the end*      At the ripe old age of 23, 4 years ago, I stood in front of the mirror and did a double, triple, quadruple, quintuple take. Was this really my fate? I rushed over to the computer to open an incognito tab and research my options... Minoxidil, sodium laureth sulfate, Rogaine, transplant surgery, laser night caps, adhesive wigs, etc. I closed the laptop and decided on the quickest and cheapest option: A bottle of Jamaican Black Castor Oil from the hair products and accessories store near my house: Golden Mart Beauty Supply. --> Directions  Dilute 1 Tablespoon of Castor Oil with 1 Tablespoon of Coconut Oil  Apply to the scalp and massage for 3-5 minutes with fingertips, using small circular motions. Cover hair with shower cap.  Wrap the shower cap in a towel soaked in hot water, trapping in the heat and activating the oils. Leave in for 3 hours before washing. I did this routine a grand total of 2 times before putting the bot...

Wilderness Therapy

Image
      So I work for a "Wilderness Therapy" program.   We provide a structured and safe wilderness backpacking experience for teenagers and young adults to work through whatever issues they might be facing (or not facing).  The "students" are backpacking continuously for 3 months. The "guides" work an 8 day shift.  This is a story that might give you some insight as to what the job is like. P.S.   there is a song at the end. ―――――       After 5 days of being ostracized, made fun of, and systematically rejected by a group of 3 teenage girls that have bonded most over their shared disgust for me, I unexpectedly burst into tears during my TC (Truth Circle) share.   The topic was, "What does the word 'parents' mean to you?" At this time every night, we all sit in a circle around the fire and share from our hearts about the question. Laura (name changed for privacy) was the last person to sit down, and instead of taking the obvious ...
