It seems that
My greatest capabilities
Are not the ones I wish for.
No effortless success,
Not the easy grace
Of a natural-born talent
Or the fireworks of
Impossible creativity.
My greatest capabilites
Seem to be
Bleeding my soul
Into little letters
Stitched through
Varying amounts of space.
My greatest capabilities
Seem to be
Crying indefinite amount of tears
On a beautiful day in May
While the clouds chase in the sky.
My greatest capabilities
Seem to be
Being lost and a child,
While every day rolls by
Minute by minute
Like something i failed to catch
Before it was gone.
My strength seems to lie
In being broken to pieces
And playing hide and seek
Until I come back together
In a slightly different
Configuration of pain.
I never learned
The combinatorial formulas
For all the ways
A person can fall apart
And still remain one.
So let me just
Close my eyes
And take a little nap.
