The pain you feel is real
Pain felt by others is not pain felt by you
Focus on that felt by you

Absorb it
Feel it
Live it

For you are not given this pain without reason
To learn, to grow, to experience as you wait for something better, whatever it may be
Just don’t live ignoring the pain you’re meant to feel

The highs wouldn’t be as high without the lows and the sun wouldn’t be as special without the rain before

I promise things will get better, but please live where you are
Please

Tried to break it down
various elements
this or like that
to study, to consult.

Far to know the time
to see it again
Until I found it once more.

It wasn’t my motive
in making it
that matter
but how
A sign to begin again

seconds play out as time goes on
every moment has reason
every purpose merits attention
believe in that
realize the world will cycle through
cycles, have flows and require time

I want to lose my way in a foreign land
Carrying a backpack with a map on my hand
Wander aimlessly into a random inn
Hear stories from villagers about the local scene
Beer, wine, cider or cinnamon mead
Pain, past and pressure suddenly freed
I want to look at the same sun rising
But with a brand new perspective of life worth living

If I was always right
I wouldn’t be a better person
I’d worsen, for certain
Ignorance is a burden
If happiness is the weather
Then depression is the city
Because one comes and goes
Another stays if I never leave
What do you take pride in more?
Accomplishments or the journey?

Right here,
In the eye of the hurricane
Everything makes sense.
Right here,
Everything is real.
And if the hurricane ends up killing me,
Oh well,
What a wild death would it be.

I honestly don't know what to write

I just fill this with empty words
With no sense of direction at all

Is this the feeling of being stagnant
Or just the fact that losing someone
Means losing the the reason of writing

To make her immortal
In the world of literature

Feeling about for sweet oblivion
where memories lie impotent
where breath strings into nothingness
unencumbered by motion

This stuffing of blood and cells
in parentheses of time, form, deeds
each after the other, in a punctuated sequence
becoming moot, coming undone

All humans, all doors,
swinging in apprehension, in anticipation
on the inside, on the outside
of what, I do not know

but losing sense of the hinge sometimes
and becoming exposed to the elements.

At times I feel like there really is nothing. What is the point of me ? What’s my purpose ? What am I supposed to do in this world that holds any type of value and meaning ? What is my direction ?
I don’t know any of it...
