I sit inside this jar
Watching through the glass
As life proceeds without me

I sit inside this jar
Waiting for nothing
My ambitions aimless

I sit inside this jar
Wasting...
Decaying...
Deteriorating...

Soon
I will be nothing
But dust
At the bottom
Of this jar
I wrote this a while ago. The second part has always bothered me. But, oh well. It's Thanksgiving. I'm drunk. I don't care.

Yup, I've done that for decades. I thought I was doing something sometimes but really I was just maintaining the jar. Repairing it. Making it stronger and smaller...

Not trying to identify with you (in some weird buddy making attempt). I've looked at a few blurbs you give of yourself and we probably only touch in a few general areas. But the words of this poem are general enough to hit me but specific enough to hit me solid. And that makes it Mighty. Good job.

There's millions of people on this sucker so I'll probably never see you again (till you're famous or something) so I'll just leave with: I see talent here and there in what I glanced at and you certainly seem to have plenty of strong emotion to communicate through your work so you're good to go there. Aaaand I have no idea why it matters aaaand I think I have already said it but you are good looking (just going with my instincts on that one < and they say to say that despite how out of the blue and silly it sounds randomly like this { or creepy depending on how you read it *shrugs*}>)

Yes, I am weird, I've been in the jar a loooong time. * yoda voice * When been as long you have. Say random dumbass things too will you! ;) LOL
