Faintly somber

Repeat stories. Crass, bordering on morbid humor w/ poking.
Talk myself out of anxiety issues. Smile. Relax. Laughter keeps you from grinding your teeth.
Giving wisdom a hug. Deal w/ dropped petals & fading flowers.
See life for what it is, before it's gone.
Faint numbness & burning.

Altruism lives
in beaten hearts forever,
somber in beauty
