Progress

By
The tears don't come as often now
but there's a well of salty water
and its bucket never comes up empty.
I'm still broken inside somehow
but I'm learning to live again

Don't feed my lies anymore;
the truth cuts deep but it's better
to accept the beauty of your life
than to linger in the shadow of a dream.
Death comes for all men, even you.

He who casts the biggest shadow causes the biggest catastrophe / shatters the most glass ? / idk? when he falls.

Your indifference is more painful than your ire. ** Give me anger, just don't give me fake smiles / plaster a smile on your face (to appease me) ** Your indifferent posture hurts much more than your ire ** Just going through the motions, I'm an empty husk when you look at me. ** I can't have it all, but I want you to have a chance to ** Not knowing if you're okay makes it hard for me to be. ** The indifference differential / different / indifferent ...

Masquerade

By
I suppose I should feel fortunate. I've been with the same man for six years, I've worked for the same company for nine years, I've lived in the same state for ten years. But my college diploma says "English" and my job screams "Business" and I fear that this life I’ve built is Stagnation masquerading as Stability. I’m not planning on doing something drastic like running off to join the circus or the Scientologists or anything, but maybe I should just stop planning for a change. Stop standing still. Do something spontaneous. I am too young to feel this old. --- Thanks for the 100 Word Song prompt, Lance (of My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog ). This brief introspection was inspired by Elvis Costello's "Brilliant Mistake".
