letter to God

"oh dear God i'm writing this letter to you

cause i don't have a clue

can you help me?

i'm sitting here

simply trying to figure out

what my life's all about

can you tell me?

i lie awake conducting this symphony

that you have gifted to me

but i don't ever sleep

don't get mad

cause i get weak inside

and i start to fall apart

cause i feel nothing

i never wanted to be

some kind of comic relief

please show me who i am

i been tortured and scorned

since the day that i was born

but i don't know who i am

oh dear God i'm writing this letter to you

cause i'm coming undone

please help me

me

"between the covers of the books that no one had ever read again, in the old parchments damaged by dampness, a livid flower had prospered, and in the air that had been the purest and brightest in the house an unbearable smell of rotten memories floated."

-gabriel garcia marquez

take the ride

"buy the ticket, take the ride."

above the smallness

"i dream of flight, not to be as the angels are, but to rise above the smallness of it all.  the smallness that i am.  against the daily death the iconography of wings."
