Writing is Math

 

If what was meant to be

Never came

Would you write it down?

Or erase the idea?

~

Being cut shorter

Blindfolded in the dark

Running through wet streets

With nothing left to discover

~

And all the while a child will shudder

At the fallacy that surrounds them

And a mask is finally shattered

To reveal the cracked face underneath

This has brought a smile to my face. It reminds me of how we peel back layers of ourselves when we devote ourselves to writing.

It could remind anyone of anything. Like I wrote in the summary; it is a 'mess'.
Impulsive writing.

This source of life was raw and messy.
I would, funnily enough, suggest you water your tree with something with more nutrient value.
Appreciate your words. Truly.
Cheers.

If what was meant to be
never came,
I would still write it down,
Wrenching it out of my mind
once and forever......

Cracks can heal over time ..... as long as the masks are shattered, that's what matters.

Onion Knight, this was dark, disturbing and deep, and very well written.

I like your reasoning... In all honesty this was a joke, posted simply for my own amusement... but after hearing this comment... I feel I have some reflecting to do.
Cheers.
