Searching for true beauty <\/p>\n\n\n\n
amid the\u00a0desperation <\/p>\n\n\n\n
when the struggle and the silence<\/p>\n\n\n\n
fall away to show <\/p>\n\n\n\n
that which makes it all worthwhile <\/p>\n\n\n\n
those tender moments of honesty <\/p>\n\n\n\n
soft and strong and buried deep <\/p>\n\n\n\n
beneath the weight of mere existence <\/p>\n\n\n\n
pressed like diamonds <\/p>\n\n\n\n
into existence <\/p>\n\n\n\n
honed like knives <\/p>\n\n\n\n
from so much friction <\/p>\n\n\n\n
we fight through endless <\/p>\n\n\n\n
reams of bullshit <\/p>\n\n\n\n
hands aligned to drag us down <\/p>\n\n\n\n
all in hopes of tiny flashes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
something more to keep us sane <\/p>\n\n\n\n
that little smile <\/p>\n\n\n\n
that gentle touch <\/p>\n\n\n\n
those shared connections none can sunder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
this world we\u2019ve made <\/p>\n\n\n\n
so cruel, so pointless <\/p>\n\n\n\n
down deep there\u2019s something <\/p>\n\n\n\n
worth it all<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
