i look in the mirror and start to see the changes i've longed for; the signs of improved health weight gain. clearer skin. But i'm reminded by these simple glances that i don't have the 'right' relationship w/ happiness contentment. appearances. surfaces. i entertain the question "does growth bare no real fruit?" and that's why i resist being. i'd rather be dark. a force. a raw healing gem. a diamond in the rough.

So many bumps in the unfolding of a day, a month, a year, a series of eclipses brought me to an inner caving to become reunited with the fact that i am on a path going somewhere, i do not know; desperately trying to retain scraps of the past in the efforts of a sense of longevity, my life has become absorbed by the feeling that i lack it its a nice try but you can't really force anything its no longer for a reason it wouldn't be your past if you were still living in it elements still remain the same but you don't listen to the ramone's anymore or watch horror movies and existential dramas on a daily basis that energy though, that desire for that energy that release, that expression is still there; its just transformed. you didn't lose anything, you just went to the next level. its just this need to be so extreme, still the need to busy myself to fill up the time w/ new things. why not just embrace the coming and going? the subtlety of it why does that have to be "death" as we know it? the going of the old and coming of the new after ever having never been a beach person, i now realize that it is a setting for the embracing of the state (event) of transition i guess that's why i've been being attracted to it, and the moon; to water. theres so much ebb and flow. the being "ruled" by "something" "something" so much larger than you but i am brought back down to the imagery of the here and now, of my basement, to the need for me to cast my life out like a fishing line; to stop eating the words of others in hopes of sustenance. to stop eating their poison, depression; illness; inner decay to take the sins of others off the menu. Can that realization be enough? that i don't want to devour anything, anymore Learning to not devour worlds as a life lesson. and knowing that the world i want to be in is the one of reminding myself that it's okay to wander, a world of nurturance of feeding and being fed.

venus wanted to not take care of herself, she wanted to let everything that couldn't withstand time to rot off of her she remembers herself in memoriam she looks back she contemplates why she is alive. what she needs to do to find happiness she scares people demanding what she cant have wanting the impossible shes headed in the wrong direction shes been headed in the wrong direction for a long time wanting to go to the beach (at night) because no one does 'it' for her she's unproductive scoping out men needing to be creative but not knowing how waiting for the new moon hoping for a new moon wanting to be filled again
