INHABITING MY POSE--- We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful what we pretend to be.

good love is hard to forget when you’re down on your own.
good love is hard to regret when you know it was real.
you just know.

i wanna live in paradise.
i wanna see it like you do through your eyes.
i wanna live where it’s simple and without complexity. i might move around, you’re always next to me.
i wanna live where each hand you’re dealt is enough so you never feel like you want to bluff. and every road that you drive gives you the crashes that keep you alive. you’re alive.

I know that I’m delicate, and weak in moments, and I have my issues.  But I am still capable of supporting you.  I just wish you were capable of supporting me.

How does someone whisper to you, during the most intensely close personal moments…”I love you, I’ve got you, I won’t hurt you”…only to let you go and treat you as nothing when they begin to feel anxious or uncomfortable, even if they know you need them most right then?  Are they daring you to fuck up, to prove that you’re worthless?

“Extinguish my eyes, I’ll go on seeing you.
Seal my ears, I’ll go on hearing you.
And without feet I can make my way to you,
without a mouth I can swear your name.

Break off my arms, I’ll take hold of you
with my heart as with a hand.
Stop my heart, and my brain will start to beat.
And if you consume my brain with fire,
I’ll feel you burn in every drop of my blood.”

Rainer Maria Rilke

“I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, ‘If this isn’t nice, I don’t know what is.’”

…. I notice that I have less to say, and feel less creative, during times when I’m happy or content. While I’d much rather be happy, I do miss the ability to express myself. Maybe I’m not comfortable being happy, as I haven’t experienced much of that…and given enough time, hopefully I’ll grow used to the feeling, and learn how to describe it. Right now it’s a welcome but foreign distraction, shadowed by the constant possibility that I’ll fuck everything up and return to more familiar emotional territory.

I’m a bitch and a fake and I hate myself. I can’t do anything of myself.
