how do you feel now? where did you go? was it really necessary that i lose you in order to grow?
Jhené Aiko Efuru Chilombo, 2Fish
In the shakey moments
Between wake and sleep
I let loose the tears
That I didn’t let you see
They fall upon my pillow
And transform into rust
Reminding me that we
Are nothing more
Than dust
I tremble in the cold
Of December
Yet the warmth
In my heart
Lights up my soul
Like the strands of beauty
On the tree
I'm back where I belong, it seems
By myself at last.
I tell myself it's what I need
But thoughts are coming fast.
The rising storm
And the tumultuous sea
Of gray and green
Cannot be mightier
Than our love
And the sun
Have you ever stopped to understand words?
There is so much that is beautiful about language. In every piece of writing, there is emotion. There is nothing more human than the love, hate, greed, forgiveness, sadness, and joy that is in every word you read. We can therefore know that words are in fact beautiful, not just becuause of their own complexity, but also because of the complexity of human nature which they express
This is neither what i expected, nor what I wanted.
I thought love was about fighting for something, not with someone- then i realized how similar the two concepts were. I understand now that i was fighting with you in order to protect myself, when really all I needed was you.
All you need is the plan, the road map, and the courage to press on to your destination.
Earl Nightingale
You can only know
The phoenix
From the ash
It leaves behind
"You cant have it all," they say
And that, for me, is fine
I don't need everything
Just enough to get by
I don't want a mansion,
Or love, or wealth
I just want to know
How to love myself
If we are all as dead
As we claim to be
Then are we merely
Skeletal actors
Playing the role of a man
And stiffly mimicking
The beating of a heart?
