Don't compare
 Aug 2014 Jenna

people feel things differently
go through things differently
learn differently
I don't understand why there's a comparison
why there's a need
to compare feelings with others
we're different
with different backgrounds
why compare
the incomparable?
There's a comfort in being a doubter,
To be swayed by passionate conviction
As well as logical cognition,
If nothing can be proven then how can that be confirmed?
I am a doubter
I live in dim-lit twilight of faith unknown,
I doubt the doubter and all of faith
Is doubt not too a faith to move nations?
I am a doubter, an undecided,
Hopeful, hateful, shameful, trustless
Devoid, lacking any certainty
Don't doubt me! I'm not weak, not mean,
Not judgmental or hypocritical,
Just so uncertain and conflicted—
How can anyone believe
In anything, at all?

This never ending
Cycle of feelings;
It goes on and on,
Again and again.
The things I should love
Lie emotionless
Deep inside my mind.
I just want to sleep;
Lie down and stay there.
Perhaps if I sleep,
When I awaken,
I will have returned--
Smile at the world
That always crushes
My grin in the end.
2020: Milo Murphy said it well, “when life crushes your lemons, stitch the rinds together to make a helmet.” I feel so much love and I have infinite grins.
