maybe we're all blackbirds sometimes

i guess this will probably be a little more formal than most. but then again maybe not. i mean, as far as my thoughts go, I've never even understood them, so to take a step and assume that someone else would i suppose makes me slightly idealistic, pretentious even. i guess i'm not sure how long love lasts, or how fast it can begin, but maybe i'll know if i listen to enough mainstream pop, since there are claims in such to understand this thing called love. in reality, all they understand is selfish lusts. and i pray, consistently, that i never understand. that. we can capitalize our entire lives, and name the letters with alternate memories... and still end up with absolutely nothing but a name. and what is a name, but a name? for a rose is still a rose, a girl is still a girl, a broken heart is still a broken heart, music is still music. and love will always still be love, even in various forms. and maybe the world looks at best friends and scoffs, saying there is greater romantic potential. but i disagree. i don't mind rocking the boat, but recently, i've realized that it's okay to keep it steady, as well. while some must escape areas of comfort to lead, i can be strong enough to escape my areas of comfort and follow causes that matter to me, and that I trust and believe in. a cause that forgives. that loves everyone. that thinks i'm beautiful. that is full of peace stronger than a storm. a cause that is always with me. a cause that loves color and is very imaginative. a cause that likes it when i tell stories, and never changes. a cause that is my father. a cause that is the source of every good in the universe. that is a cause worth rocking the boat for, a cause worth trampling my name in the dusty remnants of fame and fortune and saying yes. yes to love as pure as it can be, and yes to a time for everything. now... it is time to jump into these waters that appear to be ice cold. lets be polar bears.
