Allow yourself to be tugged
Back into the fold Of a life that has rhythm, meaning, and purpose It is hard, I know But it is also the thing That gives you the strength To do hard things. ah it's late - Atlas and I want you to know that some part of me is still
laughing with you over an Irish song about seaweed-- I am content to leave her there. I entrust her in your care even knowing how it ends. ho hum - Atlas I have spent my whole life
wanting to be good, wondering what that means, and not trusting anyone who tries to explain it to me o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o and then it is my turn to stand at the bottom of the cliff once more with bloody hands as everyone else rises effortlessly above me and I do not feel very admirable at all I feel stupid, I feel silly like a child that can’t color inside the lines no matter how hard they try but my mother once told me that the first time she caught a glimpse of who I was going to be was when I filled page after page with the same picture of a rainbow door, I guess this strength has always been in me. my chest is tight, I want to cry. my hands are bloody. I start to climb. wrote several scraps of poetry today, so here are some of the bits I liked enough to post - Atlas I don't know,
I guess I thought I would be better at this by now and sometimes someone gives you a chance to be better - Atlas nostalgia, soft and cherry-sweet
rests on the back of my tongue I cannot bring myself to swallow even as it sours in my mouth sometimes smells just Take you places - Atlas you spoke those words
and someone heard them, someone carried them through the past and into the present, carried those words with an image of the face that wrote them, with an image of you. got recognized today - Atlas and will you ever return
to the story you left or is it lost to the sands of time and regret is this about me or someone else I don't know - Atlas you asked us if we were ready
and the answer was a unanimous "no" excerpts from my physics class - Atlas the deep fear
has taken root inside of me again-- I helped plant these seeds, and now I sit before a banquet of my own bitter harvest on consequences - Atlas |
