                      day 245


                      I assumed
                      that I knew what I meant
                      when I wrote those words

                      I looked again
                      and I did not understand

                      We hide from ourselves
                      in our daily hours
                      We duck around our sharpened corners
                      dodging and weaving to avoid
                      our own flying bullets
                      like some kind of
                      trick imagery

                      I turned away from still
                      photography years ago
                      though I didn't know why
                      at the time

                      Perhaps I captured
                      too clearly
                      what was in my hiding
                      and I could not keep it
                      to myself

I hope I can never do that, honestly.
Though I guess I'll never feel accomplished until I do.
Ironic.
Life sucks.

Love the poem.

Always, Alyssa

He was a man of sorrows
...I am a girl of tears.

sometimes it's best to wear that bullet proof vest and just deal with it...upclose and personal....

Good one
