After two years of fighting, my brother’s heart couldn’t take any more, and early this morning, it stopped him from having to go through more pain. I know a couple more months of this it would only get worse. At least that’s what I’m telling myself anyway. Cause my heart really hurts today.
I long for meaningful conversations, but also avoid putting any effort into befriending the type of people who might carry on such things, and so instead, I just talk to me.
I am the bottle
inside are my words
I stand on a beach
if I give in to the tides pull
in my desire to be heard
and let go fears that run deep
if I cast myself into the sea
will I float?
or will I sink?
I am the bottle
my words are now yours
you stand on a beach
the answer
is no longer up to me
Imagine if Lassie dug a deep hole, called it a well, then barked until Timmy came over to look down the hole, then shoved him in it, then went to fetch people to come save him, pushed them in too, and kept doing it until Lassie could safely stand on the well to take credit for fixing an “emergency.”
I have two wolves inside me, but only one is so hungry for attention he keeps making us post these “two wolf” themed skeets.
The other wolf is just hungry for Doritos.
I always think of the correct thing to say long after I should have said it, and then repeat it, over and over in my head, hoping someone will ask me that same question again.
