Safe Place

This is a blog of sorts. I dump things here and look back at them when I want to reflect. If anyone ever stumbles upon it, you're welcome to stay a while and chat, leave comments or whatever.

If I Could Be Two...

I really wish there were just two of me. And I could feel myself in whichever one I wanted to at any moment. Hey, why not: one me would be a guy, and one would be a girl. The guy me would just chillax at home and skate, and chat with mah homies, while the girl me could urge out the rest of my creative energy and feel productive all the time. 'Cause I can't do both at once, and I can't feel both at once, and it sucks. I'm either productive and creative but totally restless, or relaxing and chill but feeling like I'm not doing anything important. There's no in between. And each one lasts for months at a time. And each one sucks without the other balancing it out. 

This sounds pretty stupid. Good thing no one reads this thing.

That Star Inside of Me is Crashing Again

When the moon thinks she can be 

as bright as the sun’s luminescence--

Where cats play with small objects 

Imagining real rodents--

Who dances in the dark field 

For an invisible audience--

How wind pushes blades and dust

To void, or persuade the senses--

What crashing stars distract us,

Stave off the healing process--

Fleeting, yet enough to stave the soul

With cause to leave us hopeless--

Who Am I?

Life could be so different already. I could be living in such a different world. The choices I've made until now... Are they really getting me to the best outcome? If I had the power of save and load, I could go back and pick a different box, just to ease the lust for knowledge, the curve of curiosity bending my mind back around to all those moments of decision... What would I be feeling now if I were living that life instead?

That Classroom Window

The pavement is hidden

The black trees are broken

The sky is white linen

A caw from the crow and

It rises and falls

Fast and then slowed

It builds up a pressure

Deep in my bones

 

I’m slipping away

From all of this pain

To set myself free

I’d leave myself blinded

So much is left

Still so much to do

But when I go searching

I can’t seem to find it

 

Where have my hopes gone

Where are my dreams

I dream of realities

But they were once healing

My spirit departs

Slips from the windowsill

I close my eyes

And all is... still
