Hard by Gregory Douglass

“God, take this canopy away from me,
I need to reaquaint the sky,
We've done our best and so I'm leaving,
'Cause it's my life, it's my life.

I know it's hard enough to figure out
What's right and what's a waste of time,
Just like how easy it can be to hold on to a lie.

I know everything is going to work out fine,
I've been waiting for this day all this time,
You've done everything that you could do,
but floating is just a waste of my foolish pride.

I'll miss you hard enough to hide it,
I need you hard enough to try,
I love you hard enough to move on.

Believe me when I say I need this,
I'm sick and tired of this place,
Believe me when you see the likes of it,
or just the look on my face.

I'll miss you hard enough to hide it,
I need you hard enough to try,
I love you hard enough to move on.”

…it's amazing what thoughts are provoked by music.

NY quote by Audre Lorde


“Cherish this city
left you by default
include it in your daydreams.”

Closure by Emm Gryner

Wait and this will pass
Just the way winter melted so fast
Somewhere before the mountain range
Caught in the wreck of an older train

In an acre where we could be alone
You showed your love like a gambler goes broke
Somewhere the night sky's clear
You've got courage and I'm full of this juvenile fear

I'll love you from over here and
This is closure.
