Redid my LJ bio, which i'm mostly pleased about.
Am obsessing about the dynamics of LJ-friending yet again. I expect this is related to my feeling disconnected and ansgting about connecting with people and blah blah blah.
i've not learned
the acceptable way of saying
you fascinate me
i've not even learned
how to say i like you
without frightening people
away
sometimes i see things
that aren't really there
like warmth and kindness
when people are mean
but sometimes i see things
like fear and want to soothe it
or fatigue and want to share it
or love and want to receive it
