This mirrors my own experience with the go-go-go/slow-slow-slow mentality perfectly. As soon as I begin to relax, I feel I am aimless and without ambition -- but then, when I'm constantly on the move working toward my goals, I forget to live in the moment, just to breathe, have a little rest, or have a little fun. It's so difficult to find the right balance, sometimes. It seems like you've got a good head on your shoulders, though, and know what's currently working best for you! Just remember to smell the roses when they (finally) bloom!
This is very lyrically strong, and I really suggest you look up the poem "She Got, He Got" by Jayne Cortez and watch the video of her performance!! I think this poem, if you wish to experiment more, would be really cool as a villanelle! The line "You see, forgiveness is his revenge on himself" struck me the most. I'm excited to see more of this and others from you!!
"My mother says that he is still my blood / So I'll drain myself dry" is SO profound. I appreciate the matter-of-fact style, leaving no room for the semblance of redemption. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself, friend. <3
thank youu <33 i love cats but sadly my old cat recently died so i made this for him!! to answer your question, the old cat will return one day, it'll take time but he will return :)
That's a really cool idea! I don't really know if I want to write happier it's just like any time I show someone my writing they are always like "why is it all so sad?" Or "who hurt you?" And than I feel like I shouldn't be writing it

The sparkle of the sunlight as it refracts off the glass over the paintings is so lovely! Where is this, if you don't mind me asking?

Wonderful political piece, and very timely for what is happening. Keep writing, this is liberation. This is protest in its prime.
Yay! :D
