i wanted to write myself a note to say that my fountain pen was running out, but couldn’t because my fountain pen was running out

i wanted to find my glasses, but couldn’t because i couldn’t find my glasses

when i was broken i wanted to talk, i wanted to tell you about it, but the words refused to come out of hiding

thus and ever it was that the most important stories are bashful by nature, they prefer the shadows

for stories require ink of pen, spectacles of eyes, and words able to leave the safety of the mouth cave. 

Many things in life are invisible 

Until we are ready to see them

Many things in life are visible

Until we are ready to see through them

Like an invisible friend

who likes to hide in the shadows

and remain unseen

and yet gets their feelings hurt when others look straight through them.
