Thoughts run deep, Emotions run deeper, The mountain's rising, And it only get's steeper. I climb the mountain Inside my heart. It's dark and cold, But if I stop, I'll never start.
How long has it been, Since I didn't feel alone? Is there ever any end To this world of stone? It seems like forever, I'm reluctant to try, To find out why. Don't rock the boat, Or someone will die.
Say goodbye, say hello It doesn't matter, In the end you'll know. I'm not a hollow piece of flesh I'm more than gears that mesh, I have a heart, alone, contrite, I have hopes to stave off night. Hope, an illness, betrothed to fear, Prophecy came along, And took all I held dear.
Just said it brought Frost to mind, not that it was literally associated with him. My own subjective associations at work there, not your art.
Yeah...I hate having to title stuff here. So, often I look for a relevant theme of two or three words in the poem itself, just to have something to put in that field.
I believe we exist in a balance between fate and free will.
Our conscious mind doesn't control what we do, it merely gives us the option of negating the urges of our subconscious mind. Mindfulness is the key to controlling our destiny, otherwise we are at the mercy of our animal natures.
And man, can I relate to this. I was going home last night from work and this chick nearly clipped me. As she was driving away, she yelled out her window, "Sorry!"
I was like, "Don't be sorry, open your F$%#%ing eyes, and you won't have to apologize!"
Love is acceptance. Love is faith. Love is what we are in the process of becoming. Love is a verb. It's not what you say, its what you do. If all you can do is say things, because your too far away to actually do, then love is saying things that make life a little more magical than they were before you said it.
Love is above all, knowing who you are and having faith that what you are is something good.
I say you have to cut a fine line between vulnerability and paranoia. If you always have walls up, then nobody can get in, even the ones you want to visit. But if you have an open door policy, some ignoramous is going to tear up your pretty garden. And fear of being hurt can be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I'm not afraid of being hurt or of being lied to, because if I were, I'd be curled up in a catatonic ball at home. So, my advice, try to strike a balance.
And by all means, listen to your gut, if its not spouting fear and insecurity. If it is, its not your gut, its your neuroses.
Marriage is a bullet best dodged unless it's to the right person. If a person has a judgement as to whether its a good or a bad thing that I've never been married, then they obviously have issues that have nothing to do with me, and everything to do with them.
Upbringing perhaps. Baggage of their own, maybe. OR just plain narrow-minded and judgemental, which is almost an instant reason for ME to give THEM walking papers.
Single, yes. Screwed up, maybe. But willing to live with intolerance in my vicinity, never!
