What people call thick-skinned are scabs hardened over deep wounds

An organization is not a lifeless building and it's vision statements. It a living breathing organism with parts that exist in autonomy yet function in the same direction. Some parts are prettier and healthier, some cells can get cancerous or shed off. Cells renew and re-align as needed for health and some age gracefully. The exterior has better appreciation but the unseen machinery keeps it going without appreciation. It's well being requires overall monitoring and maintenance.

The only difference between
someone who calls and
someone too busy to call
is of intention

Nostalgia is a distorted lens through which
war looks like a heroic event and
an abusive relationship looks like true love

Maybe you helping me love myself
was to prepare me for the day
you'll fall short to do so

-

I'm living in asynchronicity with life
I feel loved before I'm touched and cry before you left
I woke up before the morning and sleep before the moon
I celebrate the silence and pity the dancing crowd
I feeI life before birth and I'm sure I died before death
As my thoughts run ahead of time
the only thing I can hold onto is this breath

I have come far now, far into this darkness. So far that I can't even remember what it's like not to be in the dark. The only semblance of light that I have is the small flicker inside me. Many times in the journey it has withered and almost died out. Each time I have rekindled it by burning a wish. Limply now it sparks. Feeding on the little it has. I wonder what will happen if it dies. How will I see then. I shudder at the thought as I see myself becoming a part of this darkness should that happen.

You'll give the flesh of your heart,
They'll forget it as just a favour

My pen was silent so long
But as pain filled my soul
Blood fueled it's ink
And it screamed with life

-

I spent so much time
Running towards
what was never mine
Trying to leave behind
the only one who was
- my pain
