there isn’t enough time
and as twilight turns into night
I don’t want to sleep
I stare at the stars, and feel
the whispering breeze
moving across the lake
the lights
in the distance, tell me
I’m not alone
but it feels that way
and it’s peaceful.
If you’re going to try,
don’t do it half-way.
Don’t care what people say
their advice won’t take you where you want to go—
You will be alone
Why would you choose this way, when friends feel good
when acceptance, makes you feel understood
where resistance
and suffering
meet you, like a close friend?
because…
your life should be an expression of who you are
and not a cheap watered-down drink at the bar
not dogs at cards
but a personal philosophy
that takes you
far
into the forbidden night
where we all have to go
and
few of us
embrace
like a close friend.
