A Watoot

Sometimes, it is so good to write an unsent letter.

I do this all the time just to create a release. I have lots of unsent letters and I'm glad I never sent those things to people. I've never been better.

Who Am I?

When we think of "self",
We identify as
I.
Me.
Singular.
But are we really only just one person?
Is I actually plural?
There are different versions of ourselves.
Some versions we trap deep inside in cages
And some we throw on stage to perform every day.

We discussed this in my Psych class and it was pretty interesting.

Is It That Obvious? (10w)

"You are in love. People in love smile like that."

I work in a personal care facility and one of the women I was taking care of Sunday night looked at me and said this. She couldn't be more right.

Update: She passed away this past summer. I'll always remember her sweet words and beautiful sense of humor. Rest easy, sweets.

Dreamer

Beautifully Broken

The black of mascara
creates a stark contrast
among a beautiful, perfect face,
while her heart is devoid
yet consumed within.
She sits in a dark lone corner
gently sobbing with feeble fingers
folding over ashen lips,
where no light can reach her
no touch can near her
and wan lips whispering silently
into the echoing of empty long halls,

*"I only wished to have someone love me..
as much as I loved him..."
