there’s a balance involved
one I used to have a handle on

and it’s a fine line, I know

I didn’t always need the pills
or the booze,
but when it all falls apart
and your own dreams are the very thing
that destroy you,
there’s not much that can help

they told me I could be anything I dreamed
(and that would be true,
if we all lived in a dream world,
but if you do…
they label you clinical and ironically,
attempt to drug the “crazy” out of you)
but they don’t know the
nightmares inside of me
they don’t know the insecurities that fester
the fears, the longing for something-
anything
they don’t know me
they don’t know I once built a kingdom
but lost a crown

now all I hear are things like…
“…half full”
“…silver lining”
and “…some have greatness thrust upon them”

whatever!
life is not a commencement speech

maybe clouds are just clouds
or maybe they are the true saviors
floating, weightless blockers of an
over bearing beacon
that seems hell bent on shining light
into each and every dark and
secretive corner of our lives…

…where coping
comes with warning labels
and expiration dates
and redemption parachutes from
protective canopies, landing lightly
in fully blossomed, pristine
poppy fields;
tiptoeing carefully by,
as not to wake
the dreaming - dead

maybe the glass is not supposed to be full
maybe most of us can’t handle
an entire serving
or maybe,
we simply spend too much time
trying to fill it
and we forget,
the glasses are just a part of the
dinnerware

it was Frost who said
he had a love/hate relationship
with life
Sarah Kofman ended hers on
Nietzsche’s birthday
Van Gogh took his as well

as did Cobain, Hemingway,
Hunter Thompson, Sylvia Plath
too many to list here, but
if Buddhist correct
they may already be
among us….again
and if I have to come back
and take this journey
once more
maybe, just maybe
I’ll opt for the paper cups
the plastic spoons
and the free meds

Life,,,,,,just IS,
We, simply do.
Journies, take us down many roads, and lives.
To be at Peace with your self,
Takes the release of all that is inside, that hurts.
And only through THAT peace, will you find YOU.
YOUR the ONLY ONE, who will help YOU!
YOUR the only ONE WHO CARES to TRY.
GOD is ALWAYS with-you, but YOU have to WANT HIM IN.
So LIFE, still returns to YOU!
Its all that simple to BE...
No-more, misery.
Just, HAPPY!:heart: :wink:


A very clear and bright focuss of how life looks out-wards..
In some of US,,,Thanks KC,,,,its a great write man.drinker

me, for all that's worth.

Hell man, we have all been all-over many times in thoughts as well as trying to just keep our sanity.
Life is great to have, but its NOT always GREAT to be in at certain times through it..We just have to lose whats f88king us up, and try to find anything, that makes us feel good..
No one lives in this plain of life, who is GREAT all the time,,
some never find their peace, some only say they have, and some will
think a new them, is around every corner to be...
But ALL of us struggle daily to be at whatever Peace we THINK we ARE LIVING NOW!
I'm OK, YOUR OK!!! The world's just FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFD,,lol
You can tell I haven't wrote anything lately,lol,,sorry for my over-writing here,,,,lol

i do not find it all over the place.

it curiously is almost balanced
but not quite....
