Written during the same bout of depression as "Marked For Disappointment", but in a different phase: the sulky/withdrawing/"I suck and nobody loves me" phase. Annoying as hell for everybody else, and a living hell for those who have to go through it.


My Life's Tapestry

Go ahead and desert me
I know you're close to leaving
My life is like a tapestry
full of loss and apathy
the warp undone, the weft unweaving.

No one to patch me together again.

This makes me think of... a midieval [I think I misspelled that?] tapestry wall-hanging type of thing, big enough that it covers a big brick wall, with brilliant gold and colored threads making picutres of knights and ladies and romance and conquest and nobility and chivalry... old, forgotten, with a few holes made by small mice, covered in dust. No longer the masterpiece it was.


Which is NOT YOU.

Yours just isn't finished yet, son. The ladies are there, but your tapestry's still under construction. For example, you've only just begun to weave the noble knights in...

So don't give up on it. Because you haven't finished yet and it's the worst to give up on something just because you don't like it at that second. There is always space to add more, or to take out a stitch here and there....




Wow, I like how that was a really long extended metaphor that made basically no sense. At all.
