I should be unhappier since my life has had no successes. Yet I am peaceful all the same.

I am your phantom Helen
Eyelashes of morning dew  
I ripped the roots from their homes
to see how they grew 
I am malevolent

Today, I realized how magical it is, that period before a plane takes off, when there is silence, stillness, and the expectation of flight. For a moment, nothing happens.
