i am detached, and the world is a hook.
my empty fingers are tingling;desperate for something to grasp.

i am am open latch waiting to be clasped and fastened; i yearn to be secured.

your words linger onto my mind like smoke.
i admire you for letting your mind free, stripped and raw for all to see without fear nor hesitation.

i wish i could put out like that.
the ability to state how you truly feel is something that i lack of.
i crave guidance; like a sheep to a shepherd or the three wise men who followed the star, except for two things;
i am not wise
and i am alone.

i

am

alone.

for someone who's the epitome of dependence, you'd think i'd have someone but...
you'd be wrong.

the world does not stick around for someone like me;

too-attached me

too-reliant me

too-dependent me.

the world does not accompany those who fear to stand alone the most.

i am the weight that keeps the dreamers from lifting off the ground, the anchor that keeps the boat still, and i apologize because i need you.

i'm sorry for holding you back because i am not sure of who i am or what i believe in.

i'd like to think that there is some celestial beauty in the art of not knowing but there is none.

ignorance is not bliss; it is emptiness, it is fear, it is dependence, it is tears.

i patiently wait for your lead because i rely on your wisdom though now i see that even you are unsure so i apologize.

i am detached.

i am an anchor.
i

am unwise.
i am alone.

how ironic that of all the things i said that i am, i am still unsure of who i am so now, i look at you with asking eyes and for that

i apologize.
