Subject: ET: today's thoughts

hey angels~
  I haven't posted in a bit.  I haven't really written anything
noteworthy lately... i've had so many thoughts in my head they're all
mixed up and I can't make sense of it all.  Does that make any sense?
Anyway!  I was at the mall today to see a movie, and ended up having to
wait an hour for my dad and brother to get out of theirs... am I the
only one that finds malls depressing?  I hardly ever go anymore...it
just is so depressing for me.  But I am babbling here... sorry.  Well, I
here's a few i've written... I wrote these cause I physically had to
write, even though I was having a hard time with inspiration..  there I
go again!  I better get off here before I go into another of my sob
stories... ;)  Okay, I will put the poems now and try not to stray
again...  I hope you all are well.  Comments would be great.. :)

truly~

answers

too many thoughts
occupy my mind
they've become knotted
            and twisted
an unconscious stream
of incoherant babble

I numbly clutch my pen
looking for answers
in these blank pages

emptiness
nothing

is that my answer?

or is it yet to be written?
to flow from my mind
    with such excitement
I eagerly scrawl on these sheets

finding and creating

my answers.

distortion

I used to drink a cup
of hazlenut coffee
 each morning

i'd let the aroma
assail my senses
and i'd talk myself
 into maturity
a wiser way of being

I had created a fantasy
in which to exsist
an alternate reality of

distorted perfection

where I always knew
 the right thing to say
and I never felt inadequate
  or worthless

how to catch a butterfly

don't shout and scream
you'll frighten her away
don't break her trust
it's been long in coming

no sudden movements

gentle steps, tender voice
give her reason to believe
you mean her no harm
don't chase after her
waving your arms about

or your butterfly
  will flutter away

speak softly, kindly
and stay perfectly still
be patient

and your butterfly
   will come to you
