I finally gave in
To a piece of glass
Just once
I breathed in the pain deeply
Exquisite
How I had longed
How I hunger even more than ever now
So easy
So fragile
Humanity
We know not the frailty of the human soul
No strength of character
No unbreakable bond
No undying emotion
Can bolster the human soul unending
What do you depend on?
What stops your screams at night?
Whatever it is, it will not stay
Because the universe demands the best from us
It demands we stand alone
Naked in our pain
And face it
I failed
The fear welled up in me
The mind-killer
And everything I am drained away
Now again I fight the hungry roar
Forever calling in my dreams
The blood, so sweet
I want to drown in it
And yet I walk away today
For the reasons I barely hear
Past the pounding in my ears
One foot in front of the other
I think
I hope
I wring out my tears
And keep walking

I'm pretty good! I started a book club and have been playing a lot of softball while I wait for someone to accept my job application. I have been at my "just for now" job for a year now, it's pretty annoying in a vague, mundane sort of way. Right now I'm sitting next to a small pile of notes on various puzzles I've been working on, and I can't help but notice that none of them are helpful in any way to your situation.
So I'm nervous, but I believe in you. That makes me less nervous.
