the peace of fantasy abandons,
felt so close, but i was so wrong.
unspoken words, unheard cries,
bitter lies fly between.
return to sender
pain, time, and love.
i said no.
i am
done.

STOIC EVOLUTION
this one is about relationships, across all levels of connections in the world. it's about changing the world by exacting control of myself and the community which i share, not trying to live anyone else's life but my own. accepting what is tangible and evident, and going from there. it speaks to understanding how connected and inter-dependent life as a whole is, but with a firm grasp on awareness of both responsibility for and authority of the actions i take and the contribution i make, even if and when mistakes are inevitably made.
