##### <em>Episodics for the living</em> <p>When I think of myself in dastardly ways, I find myself in this innate push and pull. <br> For any healthy, well-adjusted person too. I feel we all struggle to find some semblance in a world we were never meant for. </p> <p>With the wicked & the cruel, are we meant to be alongside them? - or are they any different than this moral grandstanding I do here. <br> Maybe. But, we are all still the same, I've decided. <br> Maybe in time my cowardice can fade, and my stories will come to a fruition, where they belong. </p> <p>Because without our searing honesty...what are we? <br> Certainly not human for sure </p> <p>The mistakes we make, even the righteous ones we hold onto. I know I've held onto mistakes for so long - they turn me inside out in the end. <br> I know too, I've told lies for so long that...they never become truth, no matter how many shellings I try to fire...and that is something I've only recently learned. <br> How those words compound onto one another, and at first. The little white lies seem so innocuous, and they very well may be.<br> But, <br><br> What starts as a simple word to never correct, morphs into my amalgamation of mountains, where everywhere I turn, the summit seems higher, and higher until...<br> Until there's nothing left, and those lies, your quick false remarks leave you underneath that summit. Only this time, with not a soul to sherpa you to the peak. </p> <p>That's the simple task only you can conquer, one where I pray I'll see <em> you,</em> at the peak, all the same. </p> <p>I wrote an instrumental trying to decipher what it is I was feeling, and I still don't know, truthfully. <br> All I do know is it's important to share, just as it's important to <em>keep going.</em> </p> ![](../feature%20films.mp3) <p>Be well for it, <br> -Alice </p>
