what do you do...

when your heart is broken?
when people do not understand you?
when friendship is a thing to be measured in airplane tickets and fleeting moments?
when your heart is shriveling under the unrelenting, desert sun?

i cry.

when the Church fails you?
when you fail the Church?
when you don't fit into someone else's mold?
when you are judged because you are misunderstood?

i weep, and then i sleep. i wake up to weep again.

when a British band is the only sound that quiets your soul?
when a Mongolian roommate lives half a world away?
when a Tunisian cafe offers more contentment than your own home?
when a Spanish madre opens your eyes more than a college degree?

i do not know.
so, i cry. i weep. i sleep. and i weep again.
