You know how, in those old quiet movies the hopeless romantic would die in the end. Or those faces, like a walk in the park would one day end as well.
You know how in those silent films, without the lively piano you would watch a completely different movie. Like the actors are puppets being controlled, and you can see the oldness in their eyes through grainy film.
You know, there's a beauty in watching the degraded old movies in my attic, on that reel. You can feel the artist's burst of creativity. Really see the practical effects, the struggles to capture the same world we can capture so easily now.
It makes me feel like I'm worth it; like one day someone might come across my poems and feel what people now can't. Like maybe in the future someone might understand my own bursts of happiness, and sadness, and recognize my attempts at capturing my world.
