Prescription Words

You don't write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say. - F. Scott Fitzgerald 

There are days that I simply want to leave.  As to where, I don't know. I don't think I've ever figured that one out yet nor have I really tried to. 

Often in these days, I get a feeling of extreme fatigue and hollowness, sometimes I wonder if it's actually something that I physically feel or just some hormonal induced emotion. Although I am lucky, in these moments music or words are so potent they anchor me still - at least for the time being. 

I swallow words;written,sung or spoken like I've never been fed - like I've never lived. I read old passages and writings by people both whose names are already sung and those that are still living their legend. This consoles me more than anything. It makes me feel like I know them. The world then becomes much smaller than what it really is. It isn't as lonely. 

Finding comfort in words at times when being human is desperately unavoidable is a blessing. Such a blessing. I pray that each person who suffer days like these find it there as well. But, if all else fails, I believe a nap will do.
