all I want

I check my email, nothing meaningful is there
I check my phone, no one really seems to care
I check myself, sometimes I'm not even here
and still I do everything I can just to share
because all I want to do in life is share.

I ask for too much, it drives people away
sharing everything is not popular today
I just want someone who is not afraid to play
without hiding or asking me to pay
I just want someone real who really wants to stay

I try to understand why people are afraid to share
so afraid to trust, to love, to let themselves be here
I understand how people can use and abuse me when I care
but I don't understand over empowering fear
to me that is just wasting the little time we have here

all I want to do in life is share

This isn't just to you, E, this is me trying to express myself and understand who I am, what I want, and what is missing from my otherwise happy life. The superficial challenges and comforts and cleanliness and healthiness matter, but all that would be meaningless if the one core desire, to share everything with someone, was fulfilled. Understanding this allows me to stop moaning about the health issues and living environment and whatever.

At least for the moment (laughing at myself) :)

I send these words to you because I think you know me. I think you care about me. And I think you might want to know me better since we spent a lot of years living in the same space and grew closer than most of the people we've known in our lives. I'd like to think all those years meant something and were not wasted or simply relegated to seldom remembered memories. All I think could be wrong, but since you don't tell me what you think, all I've got it what I think :)

So anyway, this rhyme, and this line all I want to do in life is share says more about me than most anything I've written in a very long time. Believing you care and might want to know and understand me helped me write it, so thank you for that. Even if my belief is all in my mind, it's real enough to inspire me to write and clarify me. Maybe someone will appreciate that someday. After all, one needs to identify and define one's self to share one's self, right? :)

Know anybody who might want to know someone like me?

I don't but I keep hoping :)

Nite nite, love you, :)

hl,
me

The Writer On Beauty and Happiness

I once wanted to see myself as a writer, as a person gifted with a skill to put words together to say profound and wondrous things, to amaze readers with thoughts and emotions that would open their minds and free them from the shackles of fears that oppress us from without and from outside in this culture. What I have found in sharing personal letters is that most people personalize the thoughts and feeling in the words to a point where they either fall in love or become defensive, accepting the concepts and therein the person who they do not really know or rejecting them before ever knowing them. This is an attempt to reach beyond that superficial and over-personalized communication, an attempt to find your mind open, objective, and even eager to understand the concepts, thoughts, feelings, and playfulness in these words without judging the writer, without leaping to any assumptions or conclusions that you know me. For how can anyone truly know another without spending time lookin...

Sabotage

So why do you think I need this? lol All I ever wanted was to be loved but everyone seems to want something more reaching for something so high above or something they see in every store all I ever wanted was someone who could give everything up for me cuz that's all I've got to give them everything...  so if I ask for too much I have settled for so much less and I always want more and that's too much I guess I am living the dream imagining like John and if no one will walk with me I'll just walk on Living every moment in my peaceful happiness it's not that it's perfect, surely you know the madness comes and goes, does it show? there's so much out there, maybe you don't see there's plenty of madness inside of me but I try to deal with mine honestly my madness is just loving unconditionally so it's easy to take advantage it's easy to take for granted it's easy to ignore me when I say will anyone come out to ...

Still The Same

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely, but it's almost always by choice. Or forgetfulness. I wonder if you understand that. I don't know if anyone ever has. That, in and of itself, is lonely. I learned self-control as a survival skill before I knew how to define or describe what I was doing. Instinct saved me from so much, and eventually, I learned that everything I thought or felt was a choice. My choice. It isolated me so much from others, It still does. I did everything I could to try to forget this. I did everything I could to try to forget who I am, what I can do, and how it feels to be me. It didn't work. I did it for love. You are sometimes uncomfortable around me and I'm not sure if you know why. It is because I can feel everything and you can feel that and it scares you. It is your hypersensitivity. You don't know how to be comfortable with all you feel, especially because there are so many sad and painful feelings in this world and I feel ev...
