“Man is always prey to his truths. Once he has admitted them, he cannot free himself from them.”
— Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus
do you ever get in those moods where you don’t feel like reading and you don’t feel like being on the internet and you don’t feel like watching a show and you don’t feel like sleeping and you don’t feel like existing in general
poem: if words could find my soulmate
if words could find my soulmate—
oh how much happier
my poems would be;
the stanzas would dance,
the words would flow into verses of song,
they’d be brighter,
they’d be happier;
but alas,
no one wants the girl who sits in the back,
no one wants the poet who is
more alive in her journal than in the world;
but if only my words could find my soulmate,
maybe they’d be content,
because they wouldn’t be alone
anymore.

poem: learning to listen to your voice
i have not been writing much lately,
for i feel i do not possess the “right” words to say,
and i have been tossing more poems
than i have been finishing—
i am learning that
sometimes not saying anything
is better than saying something
empty—
so i have spent nights sitting,
paying attention to the silence
despite the hundreds of distractions
begging to break the stillness
on account of their desire to be
constantly moving—
yet, i do not want to be the one always speaking,
acting as if i deserve that kind of authority,
just because i want so desperately to avoid
doing nothing—
i have not been writing much lately,
but i am not doing nothing;
in fact,
i am finally learning to listen.

but shortly after another says, "nope!"
by Edgar Allan Poe
From childhood’s hour I have not been As others were; I have not seen As others saw; I could not bring My passions from a common spring. From the same source I have not taken My sorrow; I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone; And all I loved, I loved alone. Then – in my childhood, in the dawn Of a most stormy life – was drawn From every depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still: From the torrent, or the fountain, From the red cliff of the mountain, From the sun that round me rolled In its autumn tint of gold, From the lightning in the sky As it passed me flying by, From the thunder and the storm, And the cloud that took the form (When the rest of Heaven was blue) Of a demon in my view.
“i love you.” “it’ll pass.”
is THE single most heartbreaking yet real and intense thing ive ever heard phoebe waller bridge u mastermind u r just like me except a genius fleabag is easily one of the most true to life and wonderfully painful tellings of mistakes that ruin relationships, mental health, religion, the chasms between family members that are caused and fixed by the love u share for them. its about extreme loss and the way that can single-handedly effect the rest of ur life and the way u think and act and how u care for others. its just so real.
