The Truth is Simply a Name for a Beautiful Lie

Of all the places I expected myself to be, this is not one of them. Regarding school..I found some momentum, and I got a substantial amount of work done, Yet, it was fleeting. Now, the building, that institution that stands for everything I hate is eating me alive. It's taking me pretty much everything I have mentally and physically to do what I'm doing..but I guess it's not enough on both ends. For the moment, it's bearable, but I fear, that when the work clamps down, and more of my committment is needed, I won't have enough. Now..I know just how she must have felt back then. It's actually quite a feeling..joy and sorrow; happiness and misery; love and hate at the same time. Of course, the only person I could truly hate is myself, but that is beyond the point. I don't know where I'm going with this, all I know, is that I already smell shit coming from that direction..

In other news, so to speak, it seems I've become a commodity. Everyone must have me. Well, not entirely, just my blood. I've really fucked up huge here and hurt a lot of people, and I really don't want to do this. Oh, how I wish there was a clock, back to the time that everyone but me was happy, then, everything would be alright. I certainly don't want to lose what I have now, but if it means that everyone else is happy, I really wouldn't mind going back. It seems I've changed, and for the worse. I find that no one will go with me down this road, and who can really blame them? No one follows a fool. I apologize for speaking so abstractly, but, if I generalize this, I fear that it will be seen in the wrong way, as so often happens to me.

I really, really feel like dirt, and rightly so. I don't deserve to live, I don't deserve any of the opportunities my life has given me, I don't deserve her love. I honestly don't deserve anything. If I was to die tomorrow, I don't think I could be any happier, because the entire world would be happier. "Do the world a favour, and step on that pedal." Well, this would only work if I was crossing the street in front of the car. What would be the sudden reason for all of this? There is no one thing. Everything just added up again, and me being as weak and cowardly as I am, I seek the only path I am certain would bring happiness to others. That's all life is about, right? To make others happy?

I don't know who I am. I don't who I was. I don't know who I will be. I don't know where I am. I don't know where I came from. I sure as hell don't know where I am going. The only thing I do know, is that, I've wasted this life. I'll accept right now, that I haven't lived to how I could be living. I'll accept that I've only survived, I've only existed, but not lived. And instead of burdening the rest of the world with my futile attempts to live, I'll do them all a favor and cease to exist. Hopefully in time, I could cease to be a memory; and so that not everyone who has had the "pleasure" of knowing me is not contaminated in mind, body and soul. Maybe I'm not thinking right, this is a fact. Or maybe..just maybe..I'm thinking with absolute clarity.

Flicker

It seems that time does not last forever..
As humans, limits are placed thereon..
Will nothing trancscend them?
Yes, there is..there is.
Dreams there are..
Hopes there are..
Love there is.

--darkness--

I flail in the darkness, blinded by my own ignorance..
I seek the light, my hands are my guide..
Still useless, worthless, I am lost..
A light has found its way to me, a sign of my weakness.
I accept the light, and continue,
To bask in my idiocy, in my solitude.

--light--

It has returned!
I can see again.
I can see you again.
Mesmerized by the dancing glow,
Following as it teases..

--flicker--
I see what yesterday has brought for us..
-flicker--
I see what tomorrow holds.
--flicker--
I see you.
--flicker--
I love you.

Song and Silence

Song and silence,
A majority of a bard's life,
A majority of a rogue's life,
A majority of my life.

To be beguiled,
By your sweet voice,
To be enchanted,
By your sweet songs,
To feel the same,
Within our very silence..

All that's left, for this dream to dream,
For this dream to wake up,
For this dream to be reality,
Is to feel your touch...
Is to looks within your eyes..
Is to feel your flesh against mine..

To tell you I love you,
Within the singing silence of our hearts.

Lying's A Perfected Skill

No, I'm not leaving yet again, and no, I have no heavy hearted apology to dish out, and lastly, I have not really lied to anyone. As for the title? It's to draw you in, with some hope. Some hope that someone's actually interested in reading what would be called my humdrum life. Once more, I digress.

School...is school. Nothing much has changed, nor did I expect it to. Yet still, I was hoping for something more than this...more than mind numbing work, day in and day out, for nearly no purpose. No purpose other than 'building a future'. Not really even that..more for building a career, and amassing wealth and fortune that mean nothing in the end. Although I am thankful for the friends I do have, I certainly could use more. Acquaintances, I have plenty of, but friends?

As for the part of my life not involved with school...all is great. Actually, it is more than that. My love continues to grow for her..and despite the distance between us..I feel as if we are getting closer and closer. I'm really quite happy with the way everything is, I just have a problem with my not being to spend as much time as possible with her...but I can't. Damn human limitations, and such..oh well. I still love her..and nothing can really stop me. "I can be deterred, but my will cannot be broken." Nice quote..where does it come from? Me, right now. Well, I suppose that would be it for my update, might have something sooner, might not.
