when you get here

why is everyone so afraid delusions taught from birth are destroying the earth irresponsibility blessed by holy trinity thank god for human frailty so you don't have to be responsible for reality when you get over yourself when you get over your fear when you get over the lies you tell i'll be here when you get here

death of love

i believed in love that reached beyond this life into eternity and accepted the feeling as the energy of eternal infinity you can call it what you like but it was everything to me so real it cut my heart out when it stopped leaving only misery i don't know how she held her breath so long i hid in a closet to avoid reality a crumbling person pretending to be strong life became a pretentious fantasy and over the years the hole was never filled even as it became ancient history scores of poets lamented and noblemen killed reaching for a glimpse of the mystery they called it glory same old story sudden whispery the mind of god and everything in love's simplicity I believed in love that could never end and then i learned how people can pretend and then i learned how not to trust a friend and then i learned how low people descend to destroy the purity of all they "amen"ed right up to the betrayal of a best friend

frustration

i know i create my own nightmares by trusting people with more power over my life than wisdom would grant, but wisdom is a lonely place and even nobody has it better than a fool who knows better and still gives more trust than is wise just to get the pretense of feeling less alone but... there are other perspectives...

when memories fail (the written words)

when memories fail... as they do in an aging mind the written words will keep who i am from being left behind when the mind goes... as it does as time goes by the written words will keep who i am alive and high the blues come when we forget who we are the lows come when we forget what we mean depression comes when we forget the star we cast our dreams upon and life is over when we forget we were here when we are gone the saddest thing in life may be when trust is betrayed especially when you trust someone with the memories and all the plans you've made when memories fail... as they do in an aging mind where are the written words left behind when the mind goes... as it does as time goes by where are the written words that kept me high all the reminders i wrote all the songs i sang the tapes were made to be the map to me understand i trusted you with all that the map that leads to me can you remind me now who i am? when memories fail...

the game of life

In a game, winning is making the other guy fail... in life, winning is working together to help everyone succeed. We all need to stop playing games with life.
