Strings of words

Fleeting moments pass us by

Misinterpreting things seems to be what I’m good at.

Don’t ask me

cuz I’m not hungry

anymore

I’ve got my head in the wrong places

and my feet just don’t want to take any steps

no not anymore

You’re so invested in things that never mattered.  I guess you never mattered.  You never mattered at all.

And I’m so desperate I’m filling my well with hopeful intentions.  Just to build me up. Just to keep me going.  On and on and on.

No no, now I haven’t forgotten you

how could I forget you

I’m hopeless and encourage-able. 

You’re no longer safe. I’m aware and I know all of the lies, the mistakes and misguided attempts to come home.

Persist.  Persist.  Persist.  Through everything you must endure.  Keep your eyes open and persist.

We look to others for understanding.  Leaders tell us what conscience is.  We see reality through the eyes of those who define it.  Those not being ourselves.  Open the mind to explore new avenues of thought.  Maybe then we will truly find understanding.  Maybe then, we will find ourselves.

We’ve chased away all the things that once made us great.
