“My depression is the most faithful mistress I have known — no wonder, then, that I return the love.” Søren Kierkegaard 

you can’t be someone you’re not

you can’t be someone you’re not

you can’t be someone you’re not –

this is the trick to not crying at work,

not crying on the airplane,

not crying in your sick bed.

a trick that works

sometimes is better

than no trick at all.

you are someone

who moves towards loneliness.

someone perpetually leaning.

you let tears of solitude stream

down cheeks reaching

for hands to catch them.

you are someone who turns

away from what loves you

towards what you love.
