When you build a brick wall to keep people out...

Don't be surprised when you peek around the edge,
only to find that the same people you blocked out...

Have built their own walls to keep it that way.

Pull off the mask and see.

See only a man.

A man who will die.

The dead cannot save you.


Suddenly, you're lost.

Do you admit it?

No.

Humans are inherently stubborn.

We linger.






Screaming into the void, we linger.

I remember
Crisp November air
Salty from the ocean
Sunlight
Dancing on near-white sands
A moment
Of peace
I fell in love with you then.

Sleep is for the weary, and the weary are for sleep.

I have told you to leave me be.

Others have told you to leave me be.

Take the hint.

And where's my money?
