“Life will break you. Nobody can protect you from that, and living alone won’t either, for solitude will also break you with its yearning. You have to love. You have to feel. It is the reason you are here on earth. You are here to risk your heart. You are here to be swallowed up. And when it happens that you are broken, or betrayed, or left, or hurt, or death brushes near, let yourself sit by an apple tree and listen to the apples falling all around you in heaps, wasting their sweetness. Tell yourself you tasted as many as you could.”
—Louise Erdrich
at least we're here.
Old friend why are you so shy? Ain’t like you to hold back, or hide from the light. I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited, but I couldn’t stay away. I couldn’t fight it. I had hoped you’d see my face, and that you’d be reminded.

fitting for an ego boost
and now, to feeling alien in my own world-where this alternate reality has taken hold. placed firmly without need for regret, we gasp at the solution. to change and form, throughout the night we break free once the light exists. the outsider, the truth. place yourself in my shoes, because i’ve seen yours.
the escape diverts love throughout this placid moment-we’ve found a source of calm and the blur begins to focus. your hearts desire pleads to succeed with the sound of my voice. words are always warranted, but use them wisely. we score our minds to free our hearts, break that mold because i’ve seen yours.
