Something Brighter

Spotting on a dark night, alone on a shore
A string of bright flashes, somewhere on the water
or in the nearly-perfect dark of the horizon.
Well, what am I to do but go off and try to find them?
I thought I was a million miles from home
but the stars are only the ones I already know… oh well.
I turn the flash of my cellphone into an impromptu lighthouse.
I’m a beacon and I flicker; couple times, on and out.
Either I’m too weak to reach or the other side
don’t see me, don’t need me.
But I’ll try again. I’ll try again.
I thought I was a million miles from home,
but the stars are only the ones I already know—
but something brighter—I think—I’m sure—
I’ve seen it before.
Mysterious light shines on the water like the moon,
but it seems too pure.
It gets closer and it gets closer
and it gets closer and it flies overhead.

Crippling Thoughts

I don't feel that good, in general.
I never learned how to behave.
I always go too far for forgiveness.
I always know you already gave me
so many options towards recovery.
I'd better learn it for myself:
I'm not alone in this entirely.
Why (out of love?) do I try
so hard to hide
genuine affection?
I talk to other people's dogs more than my therapist,
I talk to my therapist more than my parents.
I don't know who I think I am in this,
how can I practise self-awareness?
Give me a shoulder, I'll take the whole arm.
I like to share when I do myself harm.
The love that I have I think I deserve,
so why, from love, do I work so hard to burn
genuine affection?
