I find comfort in writing philosophy.
Tucking my head under waves of thought brought a warmth and validity to my solitude
Well but of course I can’t be understood I seemed to be saying
In every day
In every way
Still I write in code words now. Looking for a place to hide inside my own choice of expression and
The blessing
Or the lesson in this is that I want to be…
Less pre fixed
More willing to be seen without the subtle paint of dreams
But what is that?
What am I without my dreams?
I’ve learned that I’m still…something
I begin to say that I could be the wind or a tree and I’d still matter but I’m beginning to dislike that comparison
It..however subtly seems to imply that the trees and the wind are reasonably seen as…perhaps not mattering all that much
As in
Why quantify it why make it nice why not say
This world has broken me down. This world has built me up. It’s often a human whom breaks and puppy or a tree that begins to help me heal, and they always eventually help me find my way to a human being
Someone who cares for that moment in times version of me, in a way that I need and I get to do the same for them
B
Over and over I’ve found myself in temporary two step with a particular human. I now see how my mind saw nature as one and people,not quite
I so badly want to hide in these lines again
Tuck in and begin to forget who I am but
I am
Me. So. It’s easy to be friends with nature. Dogs are loving, cats aloof in their immaculate affection, the trees dancing and offering shade and a chance to breathe…the frogs, the sun, the rain..
And sometimes I forget that people are like that too
Each of them, and that it’s not a failing to not know what that specifically is about each one of them. I tend to feel bad if I don’t see it implicitly or if I see things I don’t like but that’s life
You don’t gotta like everybody or everything about anybody TO like them
You can just exist I guess.
This poem perhaps is about having anxiety
Feeling like I’ll let the world down
Constantly trying to do the right thing and not mess anyone up.
I’ve been messed up by people who didn’t do it on purpose. Some made mistakes.
Some mistakes were the result of not trying to do something different and so I’ve tried hard to never be that careless with anyone or anything. I assume first that I probably will cause harm and do the best I can to not. It doesn’t always work. I don’t always end up feeling good about my choices because sometimes choosing me hurts others, no matter how I cushion it.
The thing is. Im hurting. Im needing and I can’t spend all my self loving on trying to save the world. I’ll probably never really stop, im just trying my best to make that world..mostly me
Again?
No I think..maybe for the first time.
(That is okay by the way, you have to begin sometime)
It is logical to care. That’s never been wrong
