the words 'i'm sorry' trip off your lips for what must be the hundredth time. so easy, so light - if only because you honestly believe that you're sorry for just existing and everything else serves to confirm it. sorry that you take up air some other more worthy soul should be inhaling as they go about being better people than you could ever dream of being.
you're you. nobody should have to prove they are worthy to live. so if you don't know how to do up your shoelaces or you take forever to decide what to eat or you're confused and sad, you're still you and that means something. that you're part of this great mass of human beings who live, eat, breathe and are strong, weak, happy, sad all at the same time.
don't be sorry for belonging. hold your head up, the sky is still blue and waiting for you to look the clouds in the eye and to walk on.
***
the threads that bind people together,
the undercurrents that can drown,
tensions bubbling beneath -
the molten magma that roils under the placid lake
in the middle of the crater,
one glance, one look, the drop in tone and voice,
indicative.
