WHEN WE SETTLE BEN

KALISH

long for all to be okay. is “okay” “settling” to want to need?

to sound entitled, we lose our r ight, and though there’s no approving, “okay” prevails the night gr ateful not to settle for much, but soon we settle for our own, and become less present yet still we know i should cr y, and i can’t cr y, and things that made us matter now cease to tr y.

cannot lament. mistakes cost perception, an incog scent we must settle: a child must walk, but when we settle we lose hope; we lose passion; we lose ur gency; we lose our spar k we lose our goals; we lose our place we lose our senses; we lose our love we lose our sleep we lose our dimples; we lose our hair we lose our desires we lose our selves and we are lost and we don’t know if we will ever be found again

We lose something. we lose our tear s we lose our health we lose our minds, our thoughts, and our consciousness.
