Write,
with as much fire as you’re willing to live with.
Share,
what makes them pang for more of you.
Drip feed,
the crux of your elixir onto their palate until they taste the metallic feigning of addiction.
Even then,
Keep most of you for later.
This world wants to know everything about you,
and when it does will tell you that you really don’t know yourself,
so it can sell you back to yourself.
W.E.
When the noise becomes too much
Come with me and I’ll show you how to walk amongst the tombstones of silence.
I’ll guide you through the mist of unfamiliarity
As you struggle to recognise your inner most thoughts
Not by chance is your soul a corpse
By your own hand you bludgeoned it
As you feined for noise.

We’ve got it all wrong.
We try so hard to ‘keep our head above water’ when the pearls of life are buried deep into the abyss of the ocean.
We’re ‘just trying to survive’ by killing ourselves to pay bills.
We’re ‘getting by’ without moving at all.
We’re ‘getting through school’ but our schooling is not thorough, then again if we were to hold ourselves to account, the meaning of the word is being fulfilled, people are most definitely ‘schooled’.
We’re ‘battling along’ but we wouldn’t have the physical integrity to run to the local convenience store let alone battle anything.
We’re ‘trying to find ourselves’, but this is the biggest hoax spread today, as if we’ve all become lost and we need a ten year journey to reconcile with who we are.
If the internet were invented first, people would not bother with facebook, twitter, forums and the such. Picking up the phone and conversing would be the in thing to do, better yet, meeting up in person, watching the creases of ones face move as they speak, feeling their emotion or lack thereof, watching their body language, hearing their laughter, tone and meter in their speech would be so fun, but alas we’re happy to ignore the real things. These are far too many things to co-ordinate for the modern day cerebrally severed being.
In my world celebrities aren’t real. The people who quietly go about their business interest me. Their dreams, hopes, thoughts and intricacies make me wonder. They intrigue me, they fascinate me. You want to grab my attention? Seek none and I’ll notice you.
Reminds me of a quote from the secret life of Walter Mitty where Sean Penn said – “Beautiful things don’t ask for attention”.
