i've lost what i didn't see coming
—i saw it go all too clearly.
i can only wait and hope to find
what i won't see coming again,
and again,
joy.

loneliness is a love that cannot communicate
not even with itself.
the way out is the way home, and back again.

quit your search for the attention you so desperately want
and learn to find
and love the attention you're already getting.
this is not quitting while you're ahead,
this is not getting left behind.

do unto others as you would have done unto yourself
and do for yourself what you would do for others:
take care.

i came here by chance
i remained here by chance
and for the sake of chance
i decide
i will struggle on.

do not die for a definite nothing.
live for an uncertain something
to come, for it shall certainly come
so long as you bet your life on it.

awake
waiting

for the call
that isn't coming.

i cannot let go
of what i cannot
hold on to.
