sun stealers

I have known people who demand and stand high atop the mountain in judgement of other people. They are the most reckless people I have ever known. They harbor confusion that mimics rather than feels. They are separate from the world and they have no way out except to gesture as if they cared. They are empty vessels that, like a black hole, suck everything inside the vast emptiness. They know only how to tear and rip. Keep an eye out for them as they are easy to spot. They move quickly and steal the sunlight away from those who need it most.

substance

There is substance inside all of us and sometimes it takes waves for it to show. Some people may not require a show, others need it. Substance comes from a firm belief in an ideal that is rooted in learned behavior either from primary or secondary sources. In some cases, this learned behavior happens very early in life, in other cases it may never happen. In our world today substance is hard to come by. Those who have it need not show it because it shines with their every word.

pain hides

Sometimes I see the hostility mask of defensiveness in action, especially among the wounded who feel pain inside but look really great outside. A smile for these people would hurt their skin as they yearn inside for difference. The cool-down at evening's end is the one time where thoughts gleem clearly like the teeth from that white, British chick who does those gum commercials. The rest of the day there is a constant grinding that slowly sucks the soul right out from them. I guess maybe we all have similiar issues; I guess we all have pain inside we need to hide. We get older and better at it!
