Life

She was right

When she said it’s good

That I pour my heart out

On paper.

But I tend to think

That the reasons I do

Aren’t so good.

Yet I do it anyway

Because it seems to be

A sort of thing I can’t

Escape.

And the sort of thing

Some people wish

They could slip into.



But sometimes,

In order to get

That perfect line

Or that perfect feeling,

It takes a certain

Level of sadness

And distance from

Reality.



The ability to see the world

From a certain stand point.

That stand point

being, one’s own experience

With their existance.

It is that which creates

A universal acceptance

Of a line, word, or

Entire emotion.



It is then, that

What you felt

At that exact moment

In time,

Can be felt by many

A multitude of moments

Down the road.

And with this comes

A state of satisfaction

And beauty.



The beauty of being able

To connect with a stranger.

And the satisfaction

Of knowing –

That your experience

And your emotions

Can create such beauty.
