ramblings of a separate peace that rattles in my skin

The sorrow is beautiful
Even if it is black and creeping
Even if you catch it weeping
It is the foundation of the way in which we step
The way in which we bless
I can feel it in my bones
And it feels so set and cold
It was longing to be reached
But it dangled and it froze
But it is so overrated
It is so far fetched
It is not so evil
It has just been set
It was so lovely the way it comes to sound
And if I sound deranged
I hope that now
I hope that I am lucky enough to be strange enough to see
That the world is moving out of focus
And into focus
And forever shifting feet

I wanted to believe that I am broken and unsure
But I am just the opposite
And I feel guilty for this hurt
I feel life as it was writ
And I feel life as it is pulsing
This sorrow is so lovely
This sorrow is a token
And if I sound evil
I hope it to your ears
For I could care so much less
Except to hope you change your fears
I am none but human
I am shifting shifting evaporated
I am bound to what I gained
And I am free to what is gone
And if I sound so shallow
Sound so deep
Sound so cold
Or stupid
Or retched
I hope it to this place
That keeps the truth and lies for measure
And I stand here and I wonder
How these words put into action
Can justify anything
When in truth they mean nothing
