How do I feel happy and thrilled without feeling like it is too much?
Without worrying I am covering a sadness I need to feel?
Or to feel sadness honestly, and not worry too much about feeling like a fool and a victim?
I know these aren’t me
Yet my brain weighs and measures without my approval still
It has an agenda to balance based on rudimentary shapes and shadows
We are still young
Yet time has gone by, and each segment seems to haunt and leave its own lessons
Yet each seems to taunt as well, hoping we look back with fondness and not sorrow
What is it to get caught up in the moment?
Why is it so hard to leap off the edge?
The safety you seek becomes tedious so the free time is spent healing
Let it go and breath out
To take another and sing a song from your heart
I’m not a fixture I’m free
You won’t do this to me
Save the date, it’s today and I’m never too late
Because I set my own rules and I won’t hear the fools who look down on me
For being me
Strangers became friends and friends made memories
Ever strange the memories
Chasing dusk they’ll set you free
Here and now, we’ll make it be
The future is ours and we’ll go very far if you just take my hand I’ll show you
If it bleeds just one spark to set fire to your heart you’ll know it too
I am better than gold and the universe knows I am worthy
I’m my own best friend and I’m married till the end either way you’ll see
It’s an epiphany
Gather all your strength and make your escape but not from yourself
Not from yourself
Satisfy your day, savor the say and don’t worry
There’s no hurry
If I learned to sing
A song
Just for the singing
If I learned to right a wrong
Just for giving
If I walked a hundred miles just to see what the horizon has
Not worried about worrying about the scenery
Just happy to let me be me
I would know I’m more than this uncertainty
I’d see visions of eternity
Saved the day and then some would say
Gratitude made from the used
Better than never enough
If I would just call my own bluff
Establish a continuity
Realize the vibration is always there
You just need to lower the background noise
What is it to realize what true gratitude is?
To not tolerate less than the beauty you may have, simply because you might have less
You let me know we needed to change the decor, you showed me the lack of attention given to the details like the color of the walls or the chips and cracks and dents
It is not to say not to appreciate them for what they do
Yet we should elevate them
Allow the beauty to exist
Sometimes if you are too busy appreciating what you have, you make showing gratitude automatic and a mindless activity then and settle for less quality, just as while seeking beauty you might automatically say something is not good enough
See what is, appreciate what you have, honor the dented old car for its sentimental value, sure if you like, appreciating the dents as a reminder of what it has given you
Yet see what might be, see the future, see it as what you know is beautiful and know you may experience and have
Love each day and make the best of the foggy cold weather, but if you love the sunlight and blue skies its not wrong to love them with your full heart, the foggy cold day wouldn’t fault you I’m sure, as it knows you had to try harder to love it and thus appreciated both just as much
love the day, embrace it, yet seek to enhance it too
love love yet love love more
