"They say the best blaze burns brightest when circumstances are at their worst."
You're the sun, you've never seen the night But you hear its song from the morning birds Well, I'm not the moon, I'm not even a star But awake at night I'll be singing to the birds- Mitski ‘’Your Best American Girl’‘
Night sky
I have so much to say But the world might decay Fear hurts not as much as regret So I sharpen my sword ready to strike For my words are a weapon filled with might I look into the eyes of those souls Who were taught to keep their words behold Reassurance floods as for me I'm bold This is a new chance For righteousness to breed and enhance Something weighs on my shoulder It burns like ice yet even colder So I release Finally feeling relief This wasn't a war This was for peace For what is most valuable to me My morals that run glee So speak up for what you believe You might feel relief
A Burning Hill / The Only Heartbreaker – Mitski
Drink your coffee. Listen quietly to my words. Perhaps, We will not drink coffee together again. Perhaps I will not have the chance to speak again. — Nizar Tawfiq Qabbani
THE OTHER SIDE
theirs this wall made of iron and steal blocking me of the far near I'm no brave man to climb all for I fear the fall Lost, I always seem to walk around its edges What is behind, I ask myself too many times maybe a gleamy forest withholding lilly fields but in my mind it's dark full of starving wolves that lurk curiosity is a sin, I need a redeemer some say it is liberating to be a dreamer but is the freedom worth the injury?
Susan Sontag, from “Reborn: Journals and Notebooks, 1947-1963″
And when you told me what your favorite book was, I bought it and read it over and over trying to find pieces of you in it.
