I try
to strive in life
to get things done, to win
to be on top of everything
it's hard.
I've learned
that a concept
like life is hard to grasp
you have to learn to hold it, but
not drop.
I know
what it looks like
when life slips from your hands
when it falls onto the hard ground
it ends.
So I
do my best to
cradle my own life, and
still help other people hold theirs;
I try.

From past friends
or mild acquaintances
there will be times where I am not only acknowledged
but appreciated
it makes me happy
makes me content
My favorite type of writing
is when I'm in the zone
I'm typing
no hesitations
just plugging in all of my honest thoughts and opinions into my somewhat-anonymous profile
spinning deeper and deeper into my spirals
In my mind
"Thanksgiving" has warped definition
twisted and mushed and changed by lots of different people
it used to be a holiday of celebration;
now it's harsh and revealed and true
it's cruel and violent
