fix yourself

I am not the one whom you search for
playing silence
wishing for a darker, more conservative appeal
the way everything falls out
I feel
almost as though I cannot be real
because everything that I am given to is but a dream
the dedication and the sweat
and the acrid scent of rain
waiting is a joke
journeys are imagined
trails
winding through your mind
what you are looking for is already there
what I am is a self deficiency
patching up the holes and tears
created by a desperation
if you are looking for it, it is not there,
If it cannot be found,
then what do I care?
I'll spell it out.
only you can find yourself
and only you can see the deficiency
and it's a leak only you can fix
but until then

  1. waaaahh!!!! what the heck is this?!?! everything i've read in the past two days has made me cry! are you and mimi in a conspiracy to shrink my eyes (reference to biblical leah, it's a joke, don't take it seriously)?!
    note: i'm not serious about the conspiracy thing, that's just me being self-centered and thinking the world revolves around me. but it really did make me cry. and it feels very cold.
