why do i consider?
use that word in particular.
from ashes, dust, fibers, to the less than solid
streaming
well i can say this my friend
not one of us has
hasn't had or will have
a second rate

or if you wish it another way
you are you and as such can't escape

pretend for a moment
it meant something
i could move you
we moved each other
or why else

erase wish withheld
in past times


............................

i know my shortcomings
sadness does not lie in ignorance or tragedy
but in the inability to affect change
despite such knowledge
we walk this path willingly by default
and when one of us alters, we fall upon them
turn against, as clearly we only wish we could alter as well

by admission we are complicit
confession allows comfort from sin
and as such should be stopped
we should not confess or admit, instead
you must change.
