As You Burn Out

Word Manipulation.

The power of language should never be underestimated. 

For someone so in love with sound
the only thing i long for at times
is pure silence.


The heart mourns distance.

It is easy
to begin 
the downward
path to life.



Darkness looms in the distance.
in time it will engulf everything.


Drown doubt in hope.

Hope dies last and in the cruelest of ways.


We cannot avoid contradictions in ourselves.
it is best to embrace them
to retain sanity 


It is best to embrace our inner contradictions than not.


Experienced purity.


How wounded is your love?


Sometimes the only affirmation of life is the end of it.


We must never forget 
the struggle of men yearning to be free
from the tyranny of zealous men.


open your heart
to the sights you cannot explain.


Remember to laugh when the pain is too great.
Remember that all joy and sadness is fleeting.
Our ability to thrive in the midst of mental and physical calamity
is one of our greatest strengths.


Debtors
Does anything we say matter anymore?
Have we given up on each other?
Will we 
go through the motions 
to satisfy
a guilty 
imagined debt?
This meant so much.
Now?
Perhaps nothing.
