In the middle of the night
I received such a fright,
awakened by a ghost,
cliché at first sight.
He thought it a crime
as I screamed in rhyme
so he told me to stop
so I did.
He led me on a path
on which I skipped,
a path with no ups,
only downs,
and while on this path
on a constant verge
of collapse,
it somehow held together.
I was shown nothing,
not given a sign
or a glimmer of direction
or a hand to pull me
from the deep lows.
God
was a fractured figment
of my imagination.
Or was He?
Or was She?
Or were They?
I was given not a bed,
but had to make one
and then lie in it
all wrong,
because a bed
without instructions
can only be made
all wrong.
Or was it?
Was it right for me?
In the middle of the day,
every so often, I see myself
as not human.
And every so often, I realize
the reason I can’t live
in this world
is because I can’t stop
being human.
If I attach,
I do so at my own peril.
If I detach,
I do so at my own peril.
Forced to attach
and detach
at my own peril
for wrong reasons.
But right for them,
for the people I don’t save
because I’m not a hero.
But those who save me
every day
don’t know they’re heroes,
don’t feel like heroes,
but they are.
We are.
The reason i cant live in this world is because i can’t stop being human!!! Omg you basically put into words what I’ve never been able to say. That’s it. You are amazing.
That’s what makes me amazing? That’s all that makes me amazing? Haha. 😉
Just kidding. Thank you for the compliment. Love you. 🙂
Hahaha! ♡ NEVER! ! Far more! Like your efficable wit, divine sarcasm and true honesty among 100000 other found personal Gabriel qualities!♡
So there are 100,004 things that make me amazing?
Cool. Now I know. 🙂
Thanks for counting for me. I seriously didn’t want to do that. 😉
I did count your amazing qualities, though.Actually, I’m still counting. Right now, I’m on 77,094,385,295,455. But that number could be higher since I lost count somewhere and had to start over. If only I had more fingers to count with…
Hell it took a long ass time to count……!!! but you’re worth it♡
Wow. Absolutely no words. Just wow.
Thank you. I appreciate your comment. Love you. 🙂
Kinda wish I had the talent to write as well as you do. S
Believe me, you are just as talented, if not more. 🙂
