Do you know what I want more than anything? I want to understand why it takes so much pain to be able to describe in detail how the sky bends. I want to understand why you caused me to see your eyes as pale instead of piercing. I want to understand why a pretty face and slim waist is valued over a higher understanding and a way with words. I want to understand why something is considered beautifully written, just because it hurts to write. I want to understand the world, but that's asking a bit much, so I'll settle for this: I want to understand you.

Bit Much
Do you know what I want more than anything? I want to understand why it takes so much pain to be able to describe in detail how the sky bends. I want to understand why you caused me to see your eyes as pale instead of piercing. I want to understand why a pretty face and slim waist is valued over a higher understanding and a way with words. I want to understand why something is considered beautifully written, just because it hurts to write. I want to understand the world, but that's asking a bit much, so I'll settle for this: I want to understand you.
I'd like credit Shane Koyzcan on the sky line, as it's a reference to one of his poems (To This Day). Enjoy! ***
