So you say,
you want to save the world.

From what, fool,
yourself?

I've seen you.

Lashing out as if
there were nothing to catch here.
As if it weren't a bore in the first place.

So?
You've still got barely anything to say.
And I'm sure you're going to read my words
the wrong way.

Maybe, fool, maybe..this isn't even real,
maybe..it's not even about you anymore.

But included in my harsh words is
something sweet ..without the bitter taste,
don't you see?

Usually,
all the horrid things I pen are really
about me.

My inabilities to voice myself correctly,
deep down my words make sense but,
they come out all disorganized and in my
selfish attempt to sway my own anger I've..

I've run away from what made me whole.

Perhaps in this lifetime I'll realize,
I'll understand..
That clenching desperately onto a
childish love, or dream..is what
kept me choking to begin with.

Maybe we'll look at the sky together one night,
even though we're far apart..
Maybe we'll make the same wish
on the same star..

I'll divide the sky..

the only place I know where
to start..
is all over again.

Kaoru, though this is sad to me, this part
is so pretty.
Hope things will be better real soon.

One night,
one star ...


one wish.

Doesn't sound divided at all,
sounds inspiring!

Deep thoughts well expressed,
thanks for the read.

This is a terrific outpour of emotion--and I'm not even sure if it's anger, but just a blunt matter of fact presentation of "how it is"...

wonderful work you.
