I'm Scared of it All

I'm scared of it all, God's truth! so I am;
It's too big and brutal for me.
My nerve's on the raw and I don't give a damn
For all the "hoorah" that I see.
I'm pinned between subway and overhead train,
Where automobillies swoop down:
Oh, I want to go back to the timber again --
I'm scared of the terrible town.

I want to go back to my lean, ashen plains;
My rivers that flash into foam;
My ultimate valleys where solitude reigns;
My trail from Fort Churchill to Nome.
My forests packed full of mysterious gloom,
My ice-fields agrind and aglare:
The city is deadfalled with danger and doom --
I know that I'm safer up there.

I watch the wan faces that flash in the street;
All kinds and all classes I see.
Yet never a one in the million I meet,
Has the smile of a comrade for me.
Just jaded and panting like dogs in a pack;
Just tensed and intent on the goal:
O God! but I'm lonesome -- I wish I was back,
Up there in the land of the Pole.

I wish I was back on the Hunger Plateaus,
And seeking the lost caribou;
I wish I was up where the Coppermine flows
To the kick of my little canoe.
I'd like to be far on some weariful shore,
In the Land of the Blizzard and Bear;
Oh, I wish I was snug in the Arctic once more,
For I know I am safer up there!

I prowl in the canyons of dismal unrest;
I cringe -- I'm so weak and so small.
I can't get my bearings, I'm crushed and oppressed
With the haste and the waste of it all.
The slaves and the madman, the lust and the sweat,
The fear in the faces I see;
The getting, the spending, the fever, the fret --
It's too bleeding cruel for me.

I feel it's all wrong, but I can't tell you why --
The palace, the hovel next door;
The insolent towers that sprawl to the sky,
The crush and the rush and the roar.
I'm trapped like a fox and I fear for my pelt;
I cower in the crash and the glare;
Oh, I want to be back in the avalanche belt,
For I know that it's safer up there!

I'm scared of it all: Oh, afar I can hear
The voice of my solitudes call!
We're nothing but brute with a little veneer,
And nature is best after all.
There's tumult and terror abroad in the street;
There's menace and doom in the air;
I've got to get back to my thousand-mile beat;
The trail where the cougar and silver-tip meet;
The snows and the camp-fire, with wolves at my feet;
Good-bye, for it's safer up there.

To be forming good habits up there;
To be starving on rabbits up there;
In your hunger and woe,
Though it's sixty below,
Oh, I know that it's safer up there!


--- Robert Service

I’m lost in the darkness;
Because I do not want to be known;
I am lost in the earth;
Cause the world is so big;
I am lost in my heart;
Because I can’t find it;
I am lost in my life;
Because my life is gone;
I am lost in my thought;
Because I don’t know how to think;
I am lost in me;
Because I don’t know who I am;
I am lost because I don’t know you;
I am lost because you don’t love me;
I am lost because I am not here;

~by Hailey Platt

Last night I dreamt of you
I woke up feeling blue
I ask myself is it really you
Could this be true
I beg you to stay
You always turn and walk away
Leaving me sad and blue
My mind plays tricks
Too late to fix
I have to let you go
Before I grow to old
Truth be told
I fear being alone

I am watching you. Your every move.
What are you going to do?
You have entered at your own risk.
Uninvited, but here just the same.
Do not disturb anything.
If so you may change the game.
You might not like what you see.
You might not understand.
It does not matter to me.
My agenda has no time for such.
I have to move on.
Before I lose touch.
No time for sleep.
No time for rest.
This is for real not a test.
The answer is here.
The meaning is now clear.

Don't stop to belive that this world will be better
Don't stop to believe u will find a true love forever
Don't stop to belive u will find and sincere people.
Don't stop to smile even life is hard with u.


Don't stop to belive people people will be better
Don't stop to belive one day the wars will finish
Don't stop to belive u will be the winner.
Don't stop to dream all these one day will be reality.

Following a new direction letting these pages lead the way
From the beginning of my existence to where I find my final resting place
Swallowing a shade of colors to give flavor to a tasteless life
As I open up my insides and reject the poisoned lies
Then I listen to the whispers becoming such a sweet melody
Finding a new understanding of my demons soliloquies
Conquering the reflections of a mask worn in denial
Dividing his deception with a dismal smile
And as a mountain that stands before me its heights I will overcome
Climbing out from the shadows of me standing in my own sun
So I close my eyes and disappear just to see Your perfect face
Me standing against the phantoms in their darkest hiding place

Up, up, the escaltor which never goes anywhere..
Much like clinging to a naked vine ,which is bare..
You beckoned, You called and then I was there,
Going down a path that really leads nowhere.
Have I lost all my senses,
Have I lost all control...
Only to come to find out .
What it is I already know..
How far must I travel..
How many miles must I go , to know?
The love that I so crave,
Has always lied right here in my soul.

I thought i loved you
now i see
you choose her over me

you love her
yeah this i know
I thought you loved me- so. so! so?

i've noticed now
that loves rejection
is just flaws nd imprefction

so now you tell me;
am i just rejected imperfection?

WHATEVER YOU SAY IS ALWAYS RIGHT! YOUR COMMENTS SOAR TO THE HEAVENS, AND REACH A NEW HEIGHT! YOU WERE THERE TO GREET ME WHEN I ENTERED THE SITE! YOU ENCOURAGED ME TO BE GREAT! YOU TREATED ME LIKE A STAR; AND THAT WAS TRUELY A GIFTED PERSON"S FATE! NO MATTER HOW GREAT I BECOME; I SHALL ALWAYS REMEMBER, THAT YOU ARE THE ULTIMATE SUM!

This is a masterpiece....loved it!????????

Enjoy!!!
Subj: Twas the Night Before Inauguration...
Twas the night before Inauguration, and up in the tower,
The Donald reflected on his newfound power.
The conservative masses had come out in force,
And delivered a victory that would chart a new course.

The snowflakes were shell-shocked with tears in their eyes,
The media lied to them . . . What a surprise.
They had been promised a Hillary win,
But the criminal Clinton took one on the chin.

And though from all corners celebrities flew,
They made no impression, for they hadn’t a clue.
They talked about climate, racism, and such,
And they made up good stories . . . But didn’t know much.

The fake news and ignorance came at a cost,
And they can’t understand all the reasons they lost.
They blame it on Comey and Bernie and Vlad,
But fail to acknowledge the one that was bad.

Yes, Hillary Clinton, in many ways flawed,
Was her own biggest hurdle toward getting the nod.
The campaign exposed her corruptness and greed,
And her speeches were punch-less as ten dollar weed.

So out in the streets there arose such a clatter,
It was Soros-paid protestors and Black Lives Matter.
With cities to pillage and windows to smash,
They knew not the issues, but needed the cash.

Eight years of Obama had given them cause,
To expect a replacement of their Santa Claus.
But soon the protestors will feel the pain,
When the wheels fall off of the old gravy train.

And now all the snowflakes are riddled with fear,
Upset and offended by things that they’ll hear.
The cocoa and crayons will help for a while,
But fact-based opinions will soon cramp their style.

I originally supported anyone but Cruz,
In the end I would vote for whoever they choose.
He may not have been my first choice, but soon I would cede,
The one they call TRUMP is the one that we NEED!

I saw him on TV in front of a crowd,
He spoke about veterans, it made me feel proud.
He spoke about energy, safety, and jobs,
Taking this country back from the Washington snobs.

He was dressed in Armani, all tailored and neat,
And the Brunos he wore made the outfit complete.
For a man of his vintage, he seemed rather fit,
And he looked presidential, I have to admit.

His eyes glowed like embers, his smile was the best,
And his hair was the color of my old hunting vest.
His love for this country was on full display,
And his actions spoke louder than his words could say.

He thanked all his voters, and before he was gone,
Saved thousands of jobs while Obama looked on.
The fate of this country left nothing to chance,
So, he filled out his cabinet weeks in advance.

The men he had chosen were of the same mind,
Let’s set the bar high, and not lead from behind.
He picked up his phone as he rose from his seat,
With a flick of his finger, he sent out this tweet;

“Now Mattis! Now Kelly! Now Sessions and Pruitt!
On Perry! On Flynn, You’re the ones who can do it.
Start lifting restrictions and building the wall,
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!!”

The roar of his audience rose from the stands,
He kissed all their babies and shook all their hands.
He answered their questions and calmed all their fears,
They knew it would be a fantastic four years.

Then he jumped in his limo, and off to his jet,
A fellow that Liberals won’t soon forget.
He sent one more tweet as the evening expired;
“Happy Inauguration to all,
AND OBAMA – YOU’RE FIRED.
