Farsighted

Have you ever noticed that from far enough away smiles stop looking like smiles and frowns stop looking like frowns and it’s almost impossible to tell the slightest difference between happiness and sorrow? -Tyler Knott Gregson-

There is an echo that lingers after the fierce winds rustle the leaves along all the trees that surround my house. I feel it is the echo of loneliness. It is an echo, in the form on a song, that sings itself through my windows into my bedsheets, and warms itself next to my body. It came as a crescendo, loud and proud and as I wrap myself up tighter with my blanket, the echo transforms into the...

The rope that binds my pages together is weaved from lifelong strands of mistakes and achievements and the stories that...
I once knew a boy.
A boy with whom I saw the world in.
He had pink sunsets on the apples of his cheeks, milk coffee for skin, and the pur of a black panther weaved in and out of his hair. He moved like honey, spoke thunder for sentences, and he had a soft side like a freshly risen cloud.
But I could never trust what was in his eyes. He was a loose board of wood in the steps of my porch: enough...

Because there is no such thing as An Asshole and A Nice Guy and if that’s all we can say about these people, what they really are is An Actor. A...
