Austin

I'm chasing that feeling 
I lost so long ago 
The feeling when the sun would set 
And a smile would appear on my face

The feeling that would sit in my heart
When I used to watch the stars
With my mom and dad 

When me and my dad would drive 
Through the mountains and dessert 
In the desolate Texas countryside
As we listened to Springsteen or Cash 
And sometimes Nelson if we were really feeling it 

When I grow up 
I'll chase this feeling for the rest of my life 
I'll live in a place that hates me 
For something they don't know about me 
Just to satisfy that feeling in my soul 
But I'll feel that feeling again 
And I won't need anything else 
In my life when I have that 
I'll be happy and content with my life  
For I'll be in the place I love the most 
But I know the people don't love me back

  • What is left

    [This is a reposted edited version of a previous poem of mine.]

     

    when all we have is spent–

    what will we have left?



    people once before us–

  • down the street

    i walked down the street
    the streets i once used to know 
    filled with regrets and heavy with burdens 
    of what once happened here

    i walked down the street 
    a block or so down 

  • Dear god, am I real?

    I believe in god even though I may know he doesn’t exist

    I know the mountains were not formed by him

    Instead it is the science in the world

    The reason we are here in this moment
