 The birds aren’t singing to win a Grammy.

They’re not trying to go platinum

through their marketing or planning.

They’re just jamming.

I listen even without understanding.

The truth without agenda

is authentically astounding.

It makes me think of cheetahs.

They don’t run for our approval.

They don’t judge their spots

or contemplate laser hair removal.

It makes me think of wolves.

They don’t howl for validation.

They don’t have to get the perfect

pic to post on their vacation.

It makes me think of eagles.

They’re not soaring to impress me.

Although once I saw a dolphin backflip

over a jet ski, my point is neither one of them

will sell me on Etsy and I doubt a porcupine

would ever try to come off …

Humans are the only animals pretending

to be something they’re not.

Why are we ashamed of what we’ve got?

We should strut chest out, head up.

Let’s be proud of ourselves for once.

Isn’t it exhausting sticking out your butt

and sucking in your gut?

For what’s a waste of energy

I’m giving up 

In this moment I’m enough

In this moment you’re enough

In this moment we’re enough

I’m dismantling my image

We’re perfect in our flaws.

Birds don’t care whether we listen.

They don’t wait for our approval.

I have built a lovely prison

but I live behind the walls.

So if love is my religion, I’ll escape

when freedom calls.

You have to be willing not to be

liked in order to be loved.

Otherwise, it’s your representative.

They’re thinking of.

But to truly be yourself,

you have to let go what was.

The past is like a prison.

It’s an echo repeating.

Just because -cause -cause.

We are many people in our lives,

so I’m not one to judge.

But if they love one part of you,

It’s limited to what that does.

I want your whole soul

I have no goal.

Show me the unseen stuff.

Don’t invite me over

only after you have cleaned up.

Perfect makes me want to kick my feet up.

No one’s living in a catalog

IKEA dreamed up.

Have you ever seen a lion chase

a hundred Zebras?

Have you ever seen a turtle

hide inside a shell?

A caterpillar doesn’t know

that she’ll become a butterfly!

So if you go to heaven,

are you still aware of hell.
