Sometimes I Give In

By
Sometimes I give into temptation.
Why do I do what I shouldn't do?
Sometimes it all seems too impossible.
What keeps life from falling through?

Sometimes I don't give and I just take.
Why must I be such a greedy soul?
Sometimes I feel like I'm so unworthy.
Should I be allowed to walk on this world?

There's many wonders that lie untold,
Yet these are the ones that interest me.
You may not get the picture of it, but
In my life I find what all you cannot see.

Sometimes I give into people's pressure.
Why do I lack the power to say no?
Sometimes I feel like I've made no progress.
Why don't I have anything to show?

Sometimes I carry a blanket of loneliness.
Why do I always spend time all alone?
Sometimes I feel like I'm always at fault.
Why is it that I inflict this pain on my own?

There's many wonders that lie untold,
Yet these are the ones that interest me.
You may not get the picture of it, but
In my life I find what all you cannot see.

I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.

Out-of-Practice Practicing

i haven't decided yet what i'm gonna write here but that's the point i suppose -- to purge all the scum floating on the surface of my brain, to shake the dust off, whatever. today is valentine's day, which excites me because hearts are my favorite colors and sweets are on my list of favorite things. i like the idea of doing something important or meaningful but either nothing of import has happened on this day for me. which is not to say that none of my lovers made an effort, just that none of them made enough of an effort for me to notice. that doesn't mean i'm asking a lot, just asking for the right thing. like some people don't push any of my buttons at all, and some push some pretty nice ones but less and less over the years does he push the ones that i need. and fluff without substance is not enough to sustain me. i guess it was enough for him but there was something missing that grew more and more evident over the years. until i had to leave. blabbit...
