Others

And What I Observe

By Nicholas GoodmanPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

My life is an observation of others

And to see what smothers

What bothers them covers the purity of their expression

and depression is a place I wish to embrace and help them escape

That veil drapes over your perception and the loving connection you used to have is blocked

You feel mocked by every comment, compliment or Complaint

Even when you achieve a saint like exterior, your interior is inferior to your ideals of what you could be

And I see your light

I feel your glow

And it breaks my heart to hear you don't know

Listen to every word I say! They are true!

What can I do to get through?

I love you

I LOVE you

I love you

So much so I will wait for months and years

Gather all your peers

and listen to your story while the tears flow

You are sad because you don't know

You are splendid, magnificent, Brilliant, dazzling, Swanky and you make me want to live

Tell me what I must give to you to enlighten

Your pain frightens me

Because I worry that's all you see of yourself

And as you cry out for help

A piece of you thinks there is none

And there never will be

I love you

I wish to see you be, truly, to the enth degree, beautifully free and loving kindly

Soon joy is all you will see
