I suppose
I could blame Fate or God Or random chance But the truth is I have no one to blame For where I am now Except myself *sigh* -Atlas

An 'almost' is one of the saddest things there is.
Because it's one thing To never have a fighting chance at all And another thing entirely To hope To be so close You can almost touch your goal-- Almost This is terrible please ignore this -Atlas (...) but that's just the way it goes
But somehow I'm not sad Because everything I've ever lost I've had I don't know why but it's comforting to think that even if I lose everything I'm still lucky to have had it in the first place (I don't think I'm explaining it right though) -Atlas Take a moment
To think about all the places Where it doesn't hurt. In a world like this, Not hurting Is a pretty big accomplishment. I'm tired -Atlas Unfortunately I have not
Trained myself to generate poetic wonders on command I have not yet learned to listen to and translate To the subtle things I'm trying to say And art is meaningless Without a grain of truth *sighs* One day I'll learn how to write good poetry. One day -Atlas I suppose I could stare at the page
For another twenty minutes Or I could just admit That I've run out of words for today :/ -Atlas Do you think Icarus
Felt the first drops of wax Sliding free from his wings And dripping onto his back? Did he watch the feathers Spiral into the murky depths below A heartbeat before he followed? Did he hold the feeling of sunlight close Wrapping its warmth around his soul One last time? Did he know? (when you take on too many extracurriculars and you can see exactly what future lies ahead of you) -Atlas There is a very real difference
Between pushing people away And letting people leave If they need to Heeeeeeeeey I'm tired -Atlas I'm gripped with the strangest feeling
That upon reaching my deathbed I will look back On every moment I have ever lived And say: "Huh. I guess that was a life." I'm tired (you can probably tell) -Atlas Every person is interesting,
If you get to know them well enough. This barely even counts as a poem T.T -Atlas |
