They say the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, but I don’t want to be on either side of a fence, I just want to be free

Even if the poem sucks
Even if it’s nonsense
Even if you don’t know what it means yet
Just start writing and see what happens
You might learn something about yourself or the world
Here’s today’s poem, I spent maybe 10 minutes on it:
Give me your demons
I will carry them away
Give me your hate
I will extinguish the flame
Give me every tear
I will feed them to the earth
And tend to your garden.

let me be still
on a monday morning
you
try to push me out
but
i’m not ready yet
I like this canal
or, cavity
it’s warm and not as wet
as where you want me to be
i’m a part of you
why do you wish to expel me?
to send me down
like Flushed Away
but i’m no Shane Ritchie
no,
i’m your garbage
from somewhere else in your body
with someone else in your body
i’m just a waste (of time)
give me a place (no grime)
of permanence
- poop, forever in motion

I'm on a foreign planet
So forgive me if I don't know how to react
The greens, pinks and blues
Where completely different hues
Back where I was at
We didn't tie babes to porches
And slap them when they don't play copycat
It's heavy here
It feels like my heart is in my knees when I walk around
But the wind washes all that away
Like it or not, this is where I'm supposed to stay
One step closer to heaven
And still on my way
