resignation




















[mine]


oh, sweet resignation, how familiar we are.
i've been hovering around you, see, i haven't wandered far. 
i'm not hiding, i'm invisible - beauty for none to see
i'm not anybody's someone, though i'm who i want to be. 
there is sting in bitterness so sweet, and pain in heart so full
always a drawback with a gain, always a backward pull.
the tears are never ended, made of anguish, fear, or joy,
made of reminiscence of a laughing, loving boy. 
and reconciliation, what a far-off dream you are.
oh reconciliation, sheer sweet hope and morning star,
but mournful resignation, how familiar we've become -  
you who leave me sad and visionless, and strike me mutely dumb.
