Resuming...

(Wrote this a very long time ago, restarting these posts because this is my journal, my museum, my art gallery, where I can look through the various phases of my life and see how far I've come, how deeply I felt and the proof that I lived.)

It was all too much for me,
the worst part was that I empathised too deeply 
because I have been where you were
in the middle of it all, just fear and tears
but I have always been a fighter and I didn't know how to tell you
that the only way forward was to move even if your skin would shred
just keep fucking moving and don't wait around for anyone to rescue you
I wish I was able to find someone like me
nobody ever has been, maybe I even choose people that way
so far away from familiarity so they bring something new
but maybe I am the template, maybe it is me that I should choose to see
in subtle ways and not, the ability to get up and keep moving
and to read a room and see auras, catch the blues likes a tide
and the reds like a firefly, I don't expect anybody to have the ability to see
I don't expect anything actually, 
I don't want to find anybody less emotionally in tune with the world than I am
Nobody but me can understand the toll and the joys of being so in sync
if it's unrealistic then it should be, what a waste of time it all has been
to be with surface dwellers, 
when it should've been atlantean to love me, to deserve me
There is no rage, just the sad realisation that time will pass
and I will get older and harder, more stuck in my ways
Find myself wondering if I should've been less intellectual
less practical about it all
maybe dimmed myself to be one with all
