“All these tears

Has watered down the years

Of a man whose long gone,

But he still carries on.

They destroyed what he had built,

And he now has survivor’s guilt

About all the species he thwarted 

On his climb to nirvana he cavorted.

He’s a lonely leader who favors brains over brawn.

But change is a thing you can count on.

Reprimand tradition,

Expel all the poison

And run. Run. RUN!”

“You bide your time,

You stay afloat,

You try to feel the Sun upon your bones…

Some people don’t understand

that just to give someone attention

and to show them that you’re interested in getting to know them

is optional. 

You don’t have to.

You want to 

and that itself should mean something to them. 

You believe some people think that the world owes them something 

but the truth is that the world doesn’t owe you anything. 

Whenever you feel love

and affection 

or even fair treatment 

from someone else, 

for even a moment, 

it is a miracle and a blessing within itself.”
