Mattered

I speak of you in the past tense
My past
It is where you wanted to be

I spoke to me in the future 
My present
It hurt too much, how could it be

I speak to this moment, present
My future
It is this now, not what could be 

golden cowboy

Know that you own the tongue that has made a world flat

With each word, placed its heart at once under your boots 

Chicken-walk on the doormat, “Do some-thing with your mess.”

Close the door, then deny you’d been outside that Day

Invincible 

Be the well thought of one
Slander thought leaders in secret

Be the voice of reason
Poison the voice in their heads

Be the beautiful one
Tear down their beauty when no one is looking 

Be invincible 
Make them invisible
