5 Seconds Of Flying
He makes you happy.
The tips of his
fingers run up and down your forearm just like an army of microscopic ants.
Then he stops.
You know his hand is
no longer running, but the feeling has an unstoppable flow. Into your skin.
Into your bones. Up your throat and into the muscles inside your mouth causing
you to smile. Into your brain where it drops a blanket that reminds you of home.
It slides down your spinal cord stirring your insides into something that
glows. It covers your heart, finally jolting you back to reality.
It has only been 5
seconds.
Running in Circles
We run around telling
people, I love you.
I love ya.
I adore ya.
I cannot be without
you.
I need you.
I admire you.
I want you.
We run around telling
people, I love you.
We run around telling
people, I love you, when we should be showing them.
We should be showing
them with actions.
Actions of sacrifice.
Sacrifice things we
love less to prove our love for those we love best.
Best is what you’ll
get if you promise to never settle.
Settle and you lose;
you have to fight to prove.
Prove that what you
feel is more than three words.
Three words that
weigh more than a thousand pounds.
Pounding in your
heart.
Your heart is now
full.
Full of what?
This thing we call
love.
Love because now you
know how.
How to stop running
in circles.
A Dare
A Dare
Wasted space.
Two words that come to mind when I look down a
hallway filled with a sea of people. At least you think they’re people. Flowing
in a river, the waves rippling and overlapping, spreading across the floor,
reaching up the walls, is an endless flood of a replicated human race. She
looks like her. He looks like him. We are drowning ourselves in our own
similarity. Killing with a lack of creativity.
But how?
How did we end up like this? We were planned,
conceived, raised, brought into this miracle of life with one thing we could
truly call our own.
Our personality.
Too bad we grew.
We grew out of ourselves and shed the old ideas we
thought couldn’t fit any longer. We borrowed his, and then passed it around.
Before we knew it, thoughts were magnetically leaning towards one another as if
it were second nature, relying on someone else’s internal design. Someone put
herself on a piece of paper, and stuffed it into that sickly copy machine. The
papers shot out of the monster’s mouth, and we welcomed it with open arms,
because saying no was too hard.
Unification is not an abomination.
Losing yourself is.
Don’t die a copy. Dance instead of swim within a
sea of people. Dare to be different.
