Looking to the horizon

How much of one’s life is how we believe it to be How often do we confuse reality with fantasy Turn a blind eye to what is right before us In order to maintain harmony Some form of control How often do we reassure ourselves that things will change Be better Different even Why do we elect to trust over and over again Do we all have the same capacity for self- debasement Humiliation Or am I the only deluded one Clinging to the wreckage of a lifeboat The storms of life crashing over my head Every orifice filled with salt water The coldness of the water chilling my bones within my flesh Yet Still I look to the horizon and hope My salt encrusted lashes prised open Straining for a glimpse of a flag on the horizon A sign That you care That I matter And yes Should you bother to try to find me this time I will reach out my hand and place it in yours My heart will be full of gratitude Obligation Even hope For I know my limitations Understand my weaknesses Tolerate too many disappointments For that is the price I foolishly pay To have you in my life.

No matter how bad it is, or how bad it gets, I’m going to make it.

Memories and thoughts age, just as people do. But certain thoughts can never age, and certain memories can never fade.

— Haruki Murakami

a dollop of honey

in a vat of despair

with irony's wink

you're keenly aware

the subtle eclipse

of a darkening mind

was never afraid

of a world redefined

The Tree of Life (2011) dir. Terrence Malick

[shadymanuscript]

I have been longing for a place

Where I can feel content and uncaged

No longer surrounded by people only speaking

Someone else's words,

Where ignorant clamor isn't all there is to be heard.

All I hope for is to be free

Of hateful ideas,

And those who wish them to be

No longer affected by the human tendency

To always try to find some way to disagree;

No longer vying for others to see what I see.

Sometimes living in this world

Is just simply hard to stand

Always having to seek out the good

While being engulfed by the bad.

Exceptional things never flourish here,

They just come and pass

Bringing me to the disappointing conclusion that

The place that I long for does not exist.

But then again, how could it?

In a world like this.

"Out of place"

In the end, we all just want someone that chooses us. Over everyone else. Under any circumstances.
