Did you know you can be a friend of yourself on livejournal? I didn’t, until now.
I need to get some Ramen noodle soup or something…I realized that whenever I’m hungry, all I have to eat in my room is candy and green olives. And while those are great snacks, I have no substantial kinds of food. Of course, it would be better if I could have some food like steak and potatoes. Hmm, why am I thinking about food now?
You’re alone and trapped
weak and tired
all your lifeblood sapped
and you think it’s
your time to go
but please don’t
think it’s so
You must see past
the dirt and grime
and realize your
life is at its prime
and now you have to
rise.
Break free of your bonds,
your chains, and dip
yourself into the pool
of self-defining silver
flowing fast, flowing strong
down into the well-worn river.
Hold it there,
stay below
and soon enough
you shall know
you will change,
you will die
a little
inside
and then you
rise.
Now is the time
of reconciliation
now is the time
to be free
now is the time
of your life
and now at last
you see.
Look
look at your body
in the window
and you realize
that you glow
and that your mask
is now your true face
and that your arm
is now your own.
