Maybe they were.
Maybe that’s the tragedy and the beauty of it,
that every act of trying
was really a prayer to be seen.
And somewhere along the way,
you’ll learn that love was never something to earn,
it was something to return to,
within yourself.
I once admired sunsets, blind to their soul,
And turned from dawn for the comfort of dreams.
But now I greet both in solitude,
For manhood came wrapped in silence and gold... . .

Losses mark me, yet I carry them like armor, not shame. I meet each setback with a steady gaze, knowing that endurance is not a choice but the law of life itself. I move forward because the world does not wait, and neither will I.

Some random decided to tweet slick about me this week. Never met ‘em, don’t care to. I just said fuck it! Hydrated and moved on. Guess silence hurt more, because the the tweet didn't survive it.
Silence > reaction.
