Quote
I am grateful that you, journal, can look at me without closing your covers. Sometimes, that’s all I do: open and close you, open and close, all afternoon on my bed, expecting you to shut on me, but you never do.

Quote
And then there were his eyes. I couldn’t see him anymore. When I looked at Mitchell, at his black pupils that I swear are brown, there seems to be an emptiness, as if they are eyeballs with no person behind them. It’s like some part of him is lost in sin, or the thousands of parties he has attended, shrooms, or some evil act no soul could recover from.

Quote
The girls... they always drift off and say they gotta find themselves first. But we never find ourselves. We find other people... and ask for another day with them.

Quote
Companionship will be made possible from enduring lonely nights, leaving the wrong drinking buddies, books and benches, concerts and stadiums, and universities and clothing stores. These were the conditions necessary for companionship. You will answer the question all souls ask: How will I find you? The answer: Truth magnetizes to truth, as long as it repels temptation.

Quote
Live in the stretch.Extending your limbs out,In a burn, in a hollow trespass,Tremoring, a second away from a shout,And keep going after it hurts-- the animal won't.Live in the stretch.It is the only way to know anything in the dark.It is the only way to feel on fire.The animals eat well, but we can pass the mark.And if beavers land on the moon, this poem has expired.

Quote
A friend will soothe, like a cough drop smooth, Making the symptoms of our condition not so bad. You will soothe me, like a cough drop thick,Making the pain go away while I'm still sick.There's nothing we can do to close our interval,But celebrate your flavor that makes a sore life bearable.

Quote
We will always be tired, stressed, Processing a tragedy, and/or a little hungry--Like a wild animal, in the middle.The soul comes to play in what we choose to do after.

Quote
If I told you the few things keeping me alive, Don’t run, don’t laugh, don’t cry.Just forgive me for being soft in life,I am one of those things that die
