(words)

(photo belongs to Sophie Richards, from here)

under my eyes are dark with lassitude,
and i feel like The Smiths
i want to be sung to sleep,
not to wake up on my own
and i wish i knew some people longer than now
and some i wish i knew fleetingly.
and there are words i have read
and photos i have kept in my mind, that make me feel
inadequate.
and i see everything around me, complete
and yet, incomplete. there is no face to be with as one.
and i feel this itch, maybe an ache. knowing i can
accomplish more
and yet,
nothing.
i want to photograph ballerinas, people. i need more
faces.
a poor attempt, but i hope you will bear with.
i have a deep longing to write
it does not come easy and is rare.
and yet,
here are my feelings.

thank you for your lovely compliment, you're too sweet :) though I believe I'm more so in that picture than in reality, hehe :)

i think the words and the picture combine perfectly!

Tasha, I love your blog. If you actually really did write that, you're a genius. I love it.

I know how you feel, about writing not coming easy. I don't think it ever does, with even the best of writers. This photo is so beautiful! I wish I could photograph ballerinas too! xxx

"I have a deep longing to write it does not come easy and is rare"; yes yes yes, I understand this sentence completely.

Thankyou for your comment on my post. I feel the same, even though I rarely take pictures lately. I went overseas last year, and took barely any photos, and was really angry with myself afterwards for that exact reason.
