silent too long
I’ve been keeping this notebook by my bed
and I haven’t written a damn thing.
I can’t keep living
a wordless existence.
I can’t sustain this silence.
A blank page is a sin
an unexpressed thought, a loss.
I’ve been mute too long.
Even a marble statue
emotes.
loneliness
is the worst curse a human being can bear
it’s why we obsess about
love
identity
society
family
none of us can stand to be alone
and a good person
will not suffer to see
another one
in isolation.
Without the capacity to communicate
we are diminished.
Just because it isn’t written in the journal, doesn’t mean the blank pages aren’t absorbing your secrets. It just makes it harder for other people to decipher them. 🙂

You obviously sleep better than me. But most of what I scribble down in the night turns out to be pretty useless in the light of day 😉

Really?? I’m at my most creative and write the craziest, most interesting stuff in the night. The light of day and the alertness it brings are good for editing it into something that makes sense…
