Easy Find

Love is a big place
an easy find
a quick escalator
ride. Soul fried from
all the times we
tried to get by
with empty insides.
Think you need a
guy to tell you it’s
alright but if you
just get high you’ll
find your own ride
to the moon--just
glide through the
sky, let those below
apologize for all
the nothing they got
right. Don’t lose
sight of the heights
you’re headed to, you’ll
reach them soon if
the fight remains alive,
if the light becomes
your guide, if you refuse
to hide from the
right you carry
you learned to bury
you shoveled
you sheltered
you sweltered beneath
eyes down at your feet
as though he wasn’t
the lucky one.
