shocked inside, you pull yourself away
from the blinds and wonder why
why we've gotta be here in this place
learn about space and then spit it all out
climb some mountain we've never even heard of
they smirk and raise their heads
i'll just sit aside and watch
i know myself and i know the human condition
be true to yourself and don't forget your neighbor
we're all created and destroyed in the same way
now i understand
why the blind man can see
being here has been good for me. i haven't fully adjusted yet but i have confidence that i will. the people here seem so judgmental and critical. maybe i can spread the goodness. ha. well, i'll stay the way i am. i know that. i can depend on that, even if i can't depend on them.
tomorrow i'm going to see tali for the first time in 3 weeks. oh my god to hold her again. to have her small arms around my neck. to hear "my awa". i can't wait to receive her shining happiness all over me.
