An Evidential Basis For Trust

.Reading time 1 minute.
The Angel burst through my skin
And in that moment I was One with Him 
The impervious, the crystalline 
And some people do hard time 
Trying to live up to
A purpose they are longing to 
Embody
And shoddy 
I wander the streets
Til something in me meets 
The end of the road
So I lay down the load
And ask to be taken to the sky
It is not the same as to die
I whisper to Stephen 
That there are things I can’t help believing 
And I tell him that I write
He flexes his eyebrows and I wonder if the sight
Will ever leave my mind
That he did not leave me behind 
In that moment true
Like she had done too 
In the moments that we held 
And she weld 
Her steel to the iron 
It masks the way I’m lying 
About all I am 
And the plan
Scares me to death
And I spill the regret 
That I’ve been holding in my soul 
To someone who would roll 
The waves upon my shore
He shone on me like an open door 
And in the midst of that smile 
I was okay for a while

Trauma And Its Evidence

Do I break the lid on categorical pain
That seems to be as seasonal as rain
And some people walk through a waterfall
But they don’t seem to get wet at all
And I climbed up mountains and I ran down valleys
Befriended enemies and demonized allies
But it never got me away
From what I quintessentially say
And as a baby I cried a lot
But what was it that time forgot
My first day of school
Or when that girl broke the golden rule
Watched my reflection in another’s eyes
Or felt the pain when somebody dies
Like my skin is being ripped from my bones
Or the silence when I’m all alone
Feels so much like peace
When the noise cease
And you can’t erase the childhood you own
The good, the bad, before the iPhone
That we didn’t post
Or the narcissism when that person ghost
Me over something I didn’t say
So I let her walk away
Took it out on a guy
Who was the answer and the reason why
The stars shone like diamonds in his eyes
He suddenly lit up the night skies
And the river runs deep and true
I forgot about loss the moment that you
Held my hand, they were all asleep
And is it just like a trinket I keep
Like so many others
And the cloud smothers
Me with its love 
Though I still look above
For a being I can’t find
I didn’t really go out of my mind
I just had to get away
And what people say
Claws at me
But the thaw reaches deep and sets me free
From the aching of time
A moment, nothing, and then It was mine
