Smudge

By Phalanx

Reckless is a swelling man with far to much to say.
You're at war with yourself and a people
You shouldn't try to understand.

Sometimes we just be... apart, away from the herd
At a safe distance we remember,
Knowing this is best.

The ones we miss make it so much in between,
Friends more with the memories than the changing shapes.
Better to stay out of the way, you just make a mess.
