Kafka Joint
My future is splitting in half,
Every living second,
In two unknown directions.

chasing after energy can leave you effortlessly tired
you attract what you give out and yet it's never enough

I take care of all of you
I make sure you’re all okay
And part of that job
Requires me to say,
“I’m fine”
When I know
You don’t have it in you
To take care of me
Or perhaps I know I’m a lost cause and just want to take care of you as long as I’m still around...

Happy for You

I'm happy for you
Really, I mean it
There's nothing that I need more
Than to know you're doing alright

But I just... I can't help it...

Within the privacy of my own mind
I remind myself
That I will never have that kind of happiness
I will never get to live like that
And I want it so badly
I can't take it away from you
By letting you in on what I'm feeling
It would seem that some of my favorite people are doing quite well for themselves. Truly, I'm glad for them, but I am reminded of the emptiness inside me that I don't expect to ever be able to fill.
