(Stay Close To Me – Black Soil)
Tool-Using Hominid
Whether by influence of longterm exposure to fumes, excessive stress, or brain injury, it took her quite some time to recognize that the small foam roller she used to help ease pain for sleep was also the same one that she could use for decompression exercises.

I Miss Them
Hound & Wolf
It Seems

It Isn’t True
I have no control over you
Just because I can see
Traces of worlds colliding
Within your interium

Authenticity

And it has been difficult and more challenging when the weight of society resists and tries to diminish such important findings.”

(And Then I Kissed Him – Hans Zimmer)
The Kiss II
Day’s End Rituals
“So tired that I’m holding my phone with its flash light on looking for my phone in the bed’s covers.”
Absence Of Reality
“A gal with her hair down in light fashion blue jeans and a bright white tank top bounces around spouting happily without a care, sing-songing ‘Mo-ving Daaaayyy’ in the commercial to rouse excitement, fun, and joy in the process.
I start dark chuckling to myself, ‘Aw, come on…add a little more limp.'”
Technical Difficulties
If I knew how to apply
Wouldn’t have to rue it
As computer navigating’s
Software often changing
What’s the actual entry point?
What program would lead me?
Always bumping up against limitations
But is it really best when sky’s the limit
When added hurdle of the brain injury
Gets in the way of what I can perceive?
I mean, I see it – but something will not believe it
And gets hijacked with cars crashing along trains
Well, I Mean
“Where it all began.”
(Title of concepts)
What I Was Made For
To Be In Love
If I fell for you
Would you want me to
Be so self indulgent?
Would you let yourself thrive in it?
If I understand and comprehend
Would you allow yourself to dive into it?
Because I never have before you see
Had a true mirror reflect back to me
And magnify what we could be
If we let ouselves unwind in it
Even If
“I am on my own.”
(Sleep Token reference)
Life Signs
“‘I play along with them, anyway.'”
(Sleep Token reference)
It’s Just My Art, Love
Remember: I am also human.
(One Last Time – Jurrivh)
One Regret

I Feel
“Like an exhausted refuge.”
