“the weight of the world is love.

under the burden of

solitude,

under the burden of

dissatisfaction .

the weight we carry is love.

& so,

must rest in the arms

of love at last.

must rest

in the arms

of love”

- allen ginsberg, Howl & Other Poems

i just heard a quote that has thrown my take on life, “today i am sad, tomorrow who knows?”

i am afraid if i vanish no one will remember my smell. who will know my favorite candle, who will bury themselves in vanilla in a scent of grief. i am afraid in ten, twenty, 50 years time, i will have not been. who was i, who are we to be so easily forgotten

i have an obsession with the sky, i look into its vastness, its beauty of colours and wonder if you are as interested in it as i am. or if you are interested in me at all

Monday

Wednesday

Today i cried,

I am made of the bones of birds,

I look at the reflection

and hear the sound 

of twigs snapping. 

One blink and it's gone, 

and I see the deception my mind has played. 

I am giant, 

clumsy, 

obtuse. 

No wonder i am not loved

Tuesday,

Today i cried, 

and my sobs choked me 

as silent tears made their way 

from such tired eyes

i’m afraid of getting older

scared i’ll never write anything

worth reading again

that i’ll disappoint the people

who are counting on me

that i’ll never learn how to be happy

that i’ll be broke again one day

that my parents will die

and i’ll be alone in the end

A series I am creating

Monday:

Yesterday i cried,

 for the thought of staying alive 

seemed so much harder 

than that of such a beautiful peace. 

To lay in an ending warmth, 

no pain, 

no worries 

to wash the contempt away. 

And to know 

that such a place cannot be reached 

without imposing this hurt 

that wracks my entire soul 

and being 

onto the people i have loved so fiercely. 

To do that would be selfish 

and i have been enough of that 

already. 

My demons walk with me, 

hand in hand we stroll 

down a path with no end in sight.

when ts elliott said “The bed is open; the tooth-brush hangs on the wall, Put your shoes at the door, sleep, prepare for life. - The last twist of the knife.”, or when he said “ I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, And in short, I was afraid.” or when he said “ Do I dare Disturb the universe?” or

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don’t mean to do harm, but the harm (that they cause) does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

T.S. Elliot (via the-courage-to-heal)

I would like to think i am the exact opposite of this. Half of the struggle to think well of myself is absorbed by trying to cause the least amount of harm to others, no matter the damage to myself

There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong.

Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey (via thebookquotes)

“Deep in my heart I know I am a loner. I have tried to blend in with the world and be sociable, but the more people I meet the more disappointed I am. So, I’ve learned to enjoy myself, my family, and a few good friends.”

— Steven Aitchison

sometimes i wish for more than this, sometimes the world leaves me yearning for a larger slice whilst other times it tells me i am too full
