I am tired and worn out and the eyes you would see would not be painted or inspiredbut empty and weary from drinking too much at all timesand I am not the life of your party who sings and has glorious words to speakfor I don’t speak muchat alland my voice is raspy and unsteady from unhealthy living and not much sleep and I only use it when I sing and I always sing too muchor not at alland never when people are around because they expect poems and symphonies and I am nota poembut an elegyat my bestbut unedited and uncut and not a lot of people want to work with me because there’s only so much you can do with an audio take, with the plug-ins and EQs and I was born distorted, disordered, and I’m pretty fine with that,but others are not.","author":"Charlotte Eriksson","tags":["artist","audio","beautiful","detached","disorder","disordered","distorted","drinking","elegy","empty","eq","eyes","fine","glorious","growing-up","human","inspired","learning","letters","life","living","painted","party","people","poem","poetry","prose","push-aside","recognize","send","singing","song","speak","street","tired","tomorrow","unhealthy","unsteady","voice","weary","words","world","worn-out"],"id":232868,"author_id":"Charlotte+Eriksson"},{"text":"I leaned forward with my elbows on my knees and her book in my hands.

Maybe we're like all those used cars, broken hand tools, articles of old clothing, scratched record albums, and dog-eared books. Maybe there really isn't any such thing as mortality; that life simply wears us out with love.","author":"Craig Johnson","tags":["love","mortality","worn-out"],"id":290934,"author_id":"Craig+Johnson"},{"text":"Choose the paths which are not worn out by many feet!","author":"Mehmet Murat ildan","tags":["feet","foot","murat-ildan","path","paths","paths","worn-out"],"id":434181,"author_id":"Mehmet+Murat+ildan"},{"text":"Sometimes I wonder, that one missing sock after doing laundry, is the smart one.
