…retreat…
Today was a rather reclusive day for me. I woke up at around 11am and had a pretty bad start with my day, the details of which I’ll keep to myself. Basically though, people flaked on me as usual and I guess today was kind of the straw that broke the camel’s back. Anyhow, I had lunch with Steven today and we talked a lot about shit. It was nice to just vent with him, Lord knows there was a lot of it to do. There’s a lot running through my mind right now, and I’m in one of my really emotional mood swings, so I’ll keep this entry short…
Dust
Harmless specks of nothing
Falling upon unnoticing eyes,
Covering what little is exposed
And yet featuring all that hides…Blown with the breath of consciousness,
But lacking in acknowledgment
Of an undying mask that shall return–
Regardless of rejection, regardless of consent…A losing battle devoid of hope,
A white flag is drawn to signal defeat.
With one fell swoop all is clean,
Sanitizing the junction where fantasy and reality meet…Evidence erased from mind
As bare emotions lie unyielding and raw,
Uncovering a time of purity and cleanliness–
When we thought we knew what we saw…Harmless specks of nothing
Falling upon unnoticing eyes,
Covering what little is exposed
And yet featuring all that hides…© 2004 All Rights Reserved Ty J. Lim
