Kalliope: Favorites

Do city kids look with familiarity at the umber night sky
Or do they feel the same cruel sting of longing as I
Is this distain my pre-ordained destiny, something primeval and true
Or am I the only one made restless by the poisoning of the blue

Short and sweet I guess

Speak, Don't Speak

Too scared
Too meek
Too quiet to speak

Pushed to the edge

When the meek
Start to speak

Speak up

Don't Speak

Highways

I live my life in a series of highway exits and parking lots. Sometimes I catch a glimpse of a world between traffic and sob with longing

Burnt bridges / abridged

I’m so glad that we met and I’m so glad it’s over
I miss you so much and I’m so glad it’s over

In the end you hate me O well it’s over.

End of another piece.

“Over my shoulder
goes another one…
Over my shoulder
i guess they’ll never learn…”

All that remains

Of all the things I've lost
and all the things I've gained,
I've found the most meaning
in the things that remain

within depression, practices toward happiness
seem like something insincere... a betrayal of self
