it's the poet in me....i guess hehe
i have made many journies to that riverbank of late. i spend a great deal of my time there. so many have i seen off into the distance. they fall off the edge of the horizon. to the ocean floor, they sink. the crashing waves carry the sound of my woes. they break upon the shore. they mix with the millions of sand crystals. i take a walk on that beach and crush them beneath my feet. they disappear forever. on the ocean floor i leave the cause of my woes. i walk away stronger than when i first believed. i take a new path each time i return from those haunting banks. they will find me no more.
mine is a life of very little consequence, contrary to popular belief. i have been blinded by illusions of accomplishment. i have reason to believe in friends. is this an accomplishment? i have reason to believe in myself. is that an accomplishment? faith in me is the faith of a fool. may i always be surrounded by fools!
complete me if you can. make me whole. make me stand. do not let me bend. do not let me faulter. do not let this journey be my end. open my eyes. help me to see. dry the tears i cry. hold my hand. grip it tight. please, understand. let me fall. don't try to catch me. just help me up. i will stand tall. give me honesty. give authenticity. let that be my reality.
