.if only the Idea had lived.
wandering from room to room
then back ‘round again…
it seems warmer this side of the room
but ‘tis much too bright for my liking.
I’m under water in this
tepid environ,
a lost worm in the cold wet earth…
too much I love darkness
enough to make me close my eyes
and attempt to forget…
once again, I enlist myself
in to a denial program,
#47 on the repeat offenders list.
begin to fret over my weak stomach,
a shame,
I’m two spaces to the left
of where I should’ve been
the last time I checked.
I’m helplessly human
with not enough sense
not enough solitude
not enough building blocks
and not enough bandages or
bullhorns that wail
or hand grenades that destroy or defuse…
my hands still remain tied in knots,
I’m capable of sense-full thoughts
but not wise enough to rid them
of their senseless ailments.

“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.”
—Elisabeth Kubler-Ross (via nuaira)
“Everyone carries a shadow…and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is.”
—Carl Gustav Jung (via alizarin—crimson)
“In my case such an expression as ‘to be fallen for’ or even ‘to be loved’ is not in the least appropriate; perhaps it describes the situation more accurately to say that I was ‘looked after.”
― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human
“The best way to waste your life, … is by taking notes. The easiest way to avoid living is to just watch. Look for the details. Report. Don’t participate.”
Chuck Palahniuk
“There are souls in this world which have the gift of finding joy everywhere and of leaving it behind them when they go.”
Jean Paul Richter

Live purely. Be quiet.
Do your work with mastery.
Like the moon, come out
from behind the clouds!
Shine”
