• We’re all a little bit afraid of being secluded, but the irony is, we’re usually the ones imposing it on ourselves. Preemptive damage, if you will. It’s okay to be alone, we learn eventually, after all this pain, we learn it’s okay to be alone…

  • Our lives revolve gently around wheat. Every morning I get up just to chew over a bowl, walk on and on and later I can slurp some wheat noodles and I keep chewing myself and chewing myself through everyday.

  • I have the growing desire to blast the girls next to me with every kind of irritated reproach; now a sharp or witty remark, and in a moment of weakness, some sort of explosives. Sadly, my own mind is the only thing enduring any trial, and they talk on.

  • Tyler Ann Klein commented on the post, fatigue 4 months ago

    Hard to face your own fatigue sometimes–I hope I can overcome the burden sometime.

  • You’re a door. Your mind is the doorknob.

    Do you speak when you spin? Do you open with a flourish, close with a boom? Or do you revolve after each person who goes through your doors…

  • We wrap ourselves up in layers of warm methods at nice, whispering to ourselves over and over that we are not the first ones to stumble through this adventure, that many have come before, that our methods will keep us warm and suspend the pulsing life in our veins.

  • Tyler Ann Klein commented on the post, July 6 months, 2 weeks ago

    July was the time I first knew that I loved you. I hadn’t seen you for months, and didn’t care, or wanted not to care, and then I dreamed you and me more honest and more real than we ever were. And our dream selves were in love, and I knew we should try to reach for them.

    You can keep the sky, all I want is the roof–I’d settle for balancing on two feet, no wings, but a full view of a night speckled with stars.

  • It’s as simple as it should be, she told me, while the world spun around us and all of heaven was hell and hell became heaven and I couldn’t speak because none of it was right, and nothing I could have said would have been true enough.

    She looked me directly in the eyes, as if to say she knew.
    “Simple as it needs to be.”

  • These days, all higher means is ‘pass the joint.’ We’re all so burnt out on big dreams, we had 20 good years of people asking us what we want to do when we grow up, now people ask us our majors and career paths.

  • We are all born under, under the blood soaked covers, and reminded forever that we are under heaven, underneath the right to live that we have been given. We are underneath, and that is all we know.

  • Tyler Ann Klein commented on the post, forth 8 months ago

    Go forth, and multiply

    Today I did

    1 x 0 is nothing

    2 x 0 is nothing

    3 x o is……

    I supposed I better make something out of myself, because nothing comes of nothing.

  • Tyler Ann Klein commented on the post, upper 8 months, 1 week ago

    I live in the upper floor of my brain, looking down upon the emotions swirling in the basement floors, screaming when my feet get wet, and staring out the windows of my eyes, wondering when I am going to get out […]

  • Tyler Ann Klein commented on the post, since 8 months, 1 week ago

    ‘Since’ is the human condition. It is a question and an explanation, a slice in time and we’re sitting on top of teh knife blade cutting across it all. We have always been asking, when did it all begin? I’ve been […]

  • Tyler Ann Klein commented on the post, wet 8 months, 1 week ago

    Wet, like a glimmer of blue on black

    I’ve had a dry soul my whole life
    begging, screaming to be wet, not just to have water sprinkled, but to possess water, to move it and be moved by it.

    Someday I will […]

  • Tyler Ann Klein commented on the post, spa 9 months, 1 week ago

    Life is a luxury spa
    A long luxurious process
    Pebbles exfoliating your feet
    The morning sun a sauna
    Pay by the hour
    and hope we leave with a sigh of satisfaction.

  • All the color is drained out of my eyes. It’s the stillness I’ve been waiting for, been dreaming of….it sits on my skin, a dragon’s armor. I’m begging the stillness to sink into my pores, to drip into my blood, […]

  • Darlings, a word for those who have run out of names for their feelings, a way of saying you care for someone while still holding them at the stop light ends of your fingers. Oh my darling, you are already a world away….

  • Tyler Ann Klein commented on the post, half 10 months ago

    I feel like half a person walking around, stumbling words trying to tell people with half my mouth that I don’t know what quite I’m missing and I don’t know if everyone is this way, is it always like this, is it […]

  • Detention–why do we detain, slow down, those who are seeming to struggle most? The privileged kids are given the green lights, get all the pampering and engine repairs, get every praise, and the poor broken down […]
