Too Big For This

people are so afraid to show themselves

they'd rather hide behind a curtain of immortality.

who taught you to live this way? 

it's no big secret 

we are human 

your existence is a messy pile of 

emotions 

on your bedroom floor. 

have my heart 

take my mind along with it 

just don't look at me like I'm the only damaged one 

we are all damaged 

and it's in these bottles, 

the night sky

the palm of your hand

and 4am conversations where we try to make sense of it all.

yes, people try to pretend they are so without sin, try to take the moral high ground...but life is full of spoils, full of reality...and it is in all of what you have said here.

we will all do our penance on earth for the liberties we take, for our transgressions...but if we don't feel life, we haven't lived it.

Life is truly full of spoils. Thanks for your comment J.
