Definition is the Enemy.

Kash — Mon, 20 May 2013 17:09:09 +0000

I’m surrounded by walls. Cornered by constraint. Forced into the places you put me. Squeezed into safe shapes. Shoved into polished packages. Sheltered from the power of my own determination. You ask me to aspire but then you question my ambition. You tell me to explain, instead of teaching me to explore. You want [...]

Explorer.

Kash — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:14:03 +0000

Standing at the edge of the ocean. One foot on shaky ground. The other skimming sea salt. Toes dipped slightly below the surface. Eyes locked firmly beyond the horizon… Looking. Staring. Envisioning a distant land. Imagining a new world. I don’t know what I will face. I don’t know what will hurt me… how harsh the [...]

Intoxication.

Kash — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 02:02:07 +0000

Intoxication is my hiding place. It’s the dark cave I run to when the light from the truth burns my eyes. It’s the blanket that shields me from the cold whisper of my conscience. It’s the closet I crawl in to escape the long arms of remorse and avoid the sharp claws of regret. I [...]

The Beginning.

Kash — Fri, 08 Mar 2013 04:05:17 +0000

Dreams aren’t free. There’s always a price to pay. There’s a cost for growth and discovery. Evolution is earned, not granted… You have to be willing to sacrifice, and struggle, and suffer, if you want to be truly successful… If you want to reach for that one, big, distant dream… that dangerous dream… that dream [...]

Price of a Dream.

Kash — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 17:20:16 +0000

How much should I pay for this dream? I don’t need this house. I need four walls and some peace of mind. I don’t need this car. I need the ride of a lifetime. I don’t need expensive things. I need rich conversation. The material is muted. And mundane. And monotonous. The superficial is stale. [...]

The Fence.

Kash — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 13:00:07 +0000

Today, I’m building a fence. I’m putting up my walls. I’m lining up every board and stacking up every brick… Piling them high and wide. I’m wrapping my arms around all that I love, and covering the mouth of all that I fear. I’m tightening my grip on potential, and sharpening my words for battle. [...]

The 2013 Anthem.

Kash — Wed, 02 Jan 2013 21:13:10 +0000

This is our year… This our time… This is our defiant declaration that life is too short to watch from a distance …. It’s too fast to witness from afar… This year, we’re in the mix. We’re at the center. Up close and personal with everything that matters. This is the year we delete “tomorrow” [...]

For Newtown.

Kash — Mon, 17 Dec 2012 05:22:59 +0000

I’m angry. Not at you. Or him. Or them. But at us. How did we let this happen? How did it come this far without us taking to the streets and breaking down the system? Why haven’t we looted every lawmaker and vandalized every bullshit speech? Set fire to false promises. Confronted our own carelessness. [...]

Now is it Time?

Kash — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 03:17:30 +0000

I followed all the rules. Paid attention to all the lectures. I took notes, and took note, of every expectation. Stuffed every “supposed to” in the back of my head. I obeyed all the laws. Sympathized with every signal. I stared at every sign from a safe distance… Out of range and out of reach [...]

Hurt Me.

Kash — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 15:35:00 +0000

Beat me and bruise me. Pound me in my gut. Put your fist through my face and elbow the shit out of my faults. Bloody my nose and break my smile. Give my optimism a black eye. Leave my faith sore and staggered and swollen. Kick me when I fall. Knock the wind out of [...]
