"time"

endless time; waves that clash against tides,

planets that align, life that does not end.

when you are well the time seems to pass quickly.

when you are uncomfortable time seems to crawl by like a turtle.

is time being cruel?

humans,

we created the half-hour glass in which the grains of sand

begin to count our time.

since the human age,

time has become a limited factor.

when will time...run out? soon?

what is "time"?

'father time,' time is finite now.

'mother nature,' destroyed for our sake.

what does time...think of this?

all gone.

My, Your, Our

"instincts"

don't say that,

my wounds are healed once you say things like that

don't make me feel special

it'll hurt more when we part.

i'm just a friend,

don't tell me i'm your best friend.

all my "best" friends left me.

just because i'm "stupid"

just because i'm "clingy"

just because i'm---

"just because."

it doesn't end, this loss of friendship.

i've always been trashed, dusted.

no matter how similar we are,

no matter what we make,

no matter why we do,

no matter where we go,

no matter what we have,

no matter who we find...

i do not betray, i am betrayed.

why did she leave me for someone who hurt me?

why did she leave me for my differences?

why did she leave me even when she found out the truth?

why did she leave me for another friend who didn't care?

why did those "friends" befriend me if they were going to leave me?

is that how you're going to be?

then i don't need you,

i'm fine--

i don't have to follow you.

you don't need me,

you're fine with that fake happiness.

how are we doing without one another?

i'm sure you're fine.

so sorry i'm clingy,

my deepest apologies i'm not useful

did you ever think i'm just fragile?

behind my smile, how i'm feeling...

under that laughing face, what i'm thinking...

you don't know the real, weak me.

you only know the side of me that's "normal."

i've thought beyond life;

my thoughts lead to your anxiety?

i hide this personality so as not to make you feel...

uncomfortable.

i know you'd never want me as a friend--

if i allowed my weak side to flow out.

my words are my true, weak self.

your words show me nothing.

our lives, lived in different worlds...

you know?

"all"

the "truth"

put bluntly, we all know the truth
we may not know all of it but most of us can see the ending

some of do not accept it; thus, it is hidden
some of us accept it; eternal peace is achieved
some of us do not seem to accept it--
some of us do but with plenty complaints.

if you seek the truth, you are merely wasting your time;
look around and you will realize it's been all around--
all along.

the "truth" is never far, it is always near
the "truth" is sometimes ugly, sometimes beautiful
the "truth"-- all together, it is difficult to hide and yet, hard to find.

do you want to believe in the "truth" in which you learn?
when you realize the truth does not favor your side,
what will you come to think of it?
will you... blame truth?
will you... decide to find a way to use the truth to aid you?

true "happiness"

can be obtained once we realize and accept
THE TRUTH.

put bluntly, we know all the answers

we may not know it but we eventually come to hate the "truth."
