Below are some random lines and thoughts that have been collecting dust in my writing journal. They all have been waiting patiently to be turned into either a poem or essay, but their time has not yet come. Maybe it never will. So, for now, I thought I would let them hang out together here in the hopes they would feel a little less lonely.
- Depression is a black hole of the soul. It sucks all joy, love, laughter into its nothingness.
- Watching the trees in the Fall is like watching a fire-works show in slow motion.
- A Merry-Go-Round Mind.
- Sparks of Inspiration flitter in my mind like lightning bugs skittering through the night, elusive and just out of reach.
- We ponder Death in an attempt to perceive Life. For Life is nothing less than a march to the grave.
- Even Insecurity contains a dose of Vanity. Believing others are ceding moments of their precious time to criticize you has an air of pretension.
- An empty bottle of alcohol is never truly empty. Instead, it is filled with all the things it has taken away. Memories. Friendships. It is replaced with the distilled spirits of friends and family. It is full of wasted memories half-forgotten.
- Just because things are the way they are doesn’t always mean things are the way they are supposed to be.
- Your Absence is a Presence that trails my every move, an invisible shadow at my heels.
- Past and Present collide, like long dead stars that illumine the Night.
- It doesn’t require the weight of the world to crush someone. It only requires the weight of their world.
- An evening breeze dances on the leaves of the trees, whispering secrets of the night.
- I do not fear the noise. I do not fear the silence. I do fear the noise that hides unheard within the silence.
- Fear of disappearing like a pen slowly draining of ink that grows lighter and lighter until the words just fade out of existence all together.
