The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday.


He sees ghosts,
but not with
his eyes.

He sees them with
his ears
and
his hands
and
his eyelashes.
He sees the ghosts
of unspoken words
and
unwritten letters
and
uncried tears.

But there never
was a ghost
that haunted him
more
than the thought
of what they
could have
been.

I'm not big on poetry, but this was amazing!
