POETRIO

the first time i used the line "time's always right to fix what's wrong" was in this poem. i showed it to my roommates, Jordan & Aidan (JA Collective) & we all decided to put some movement to it. so we cleared out our living room & asked our buddies from RYGB if they would come to our house to shoot it. this is the result..

"What's Wrong" - simple•poem 066
August 28, 2020

how to cross a bridge i’m uncertain will hold me
hold me to your breast i’m restless against the thought
i’m never enough
but close to your love
pressed to your chest
i am enough
enough with the back & forth
the bargaining murders my heart slowly

slowly i’m understanding the only
heart worth holding
is one kept pulling closer in trust
though i don’t know fully
how to cross a bridge i’m uncertain will hold me

Lord help me
have courage to step with knees shaking
shaking wont make it better
but when i’m down & out & overwhelmed
sometimes it’s all i want to do

to do the right thing when my body screams the opposite’s awful
merely clawing at something fatiguingly impossible on my own
on my own it’s all intangible

i hardly fix anything i want to
it’s just never the right time

but i suppose i’ve been waiting for the right time for too long
the time’s always right to fix what is wrong

Me and the bois' secret handshake be like:

[Scoot]

I swear one of these days Josh needs to make a book of poetry written by him WE NEED THIS

[GUIZZARD]

I'm going to scream I can't believe Josh wrote this. guy's just too powerful.

[lilaramirez]

the amount of talent they have to write such things and manage to transmit everything afterwards through dance is just immaculate

[LuizFelipe-cifr]

this could be the opening of the New Album or an intro to What's Wrong

[annabaluta]

every time when i think half alive reached the highest level of being unique they do something like this, and i'm here for it

[karab]

This video just gave me a minute of quiet peace, a minute I wasn't expecting and very welcome one at that

[emilyy]

Half alive’s words, music, performances and music videos are so inspiring.

[WhimsicalTea]

I need this on spotify, It's beautiful.

[luisinasandoval]

This is so awesome that i don't even know where to start. The poem, de choreo, the feelings, everything is just perfect.

[nixofficial]

Why can't this be the kind of stuff we study in English at school?

[BriskkFX]

Josh is both a mastermind and an excellent poet

[dacdacgirl-alex]

the visual, the words... Josh and half•alive truly understand me and my struggles - thank you

[dianafridabtmfrid]

[thatonetype]

It’s so mesmerizing to watch them do choreography

[Aixman]

Last time I was this early I could *still feel alive.*

[Popyman]

First I was like, I think I'm over the dancing crap. But I got chills by the end of it, you roped me back in!

[twicelands]

You guys have easily become my new favorite group
