on movement

it is march and
the trees are blooming and
the sun is shining and
i think i feel ok here

it seems that i am
stuck between the
two places that i long to be
and people that i long to be
with. i think that i can
no longer define myself
through my relationships
i think that i do know myself
better than i give myself
credit for

my parents sometimes
try to explain the world
in terms of jesus christ
i think that i see it all
much differently

everything is
moving forward
