KIS (Keep It Simple) Day 1 Post
Perhaps I have gain a small piece of enlightenment in the past couple of weeks. Doesn’t really matter anyway because I feel I have. So what did I find at the end of my 2 month soul search …..Simple “Emotions are not meant to be suppressed they are still there …eventually they will come to the surface as anger …by neglect. So experience life, don’t hide from your emotion. Learn to control the only thing U can truly control … react well to your own emotions. Deal with emotions before they transform into something ugly like anger.” Control of anything or someone else is just an arrogant illusion. We are all here to interact and if lucky we might have the opportunity to be a positive influence on someone or something. Control if you must …look to your past …even with good intension did you ever really help another? Straight from a jouney of madness ...John

Words from the past
The journey suddenly ends With truth almost in hand A truce of silence now put in place A final veil of silk remains Glimpses of truth dance on the threads The journey came to a rightful end Others took notice My quest was done The point was made That’s all that was needed to be done The journey came to the right end One might make a difference Uniquely my value shined bright Smiling I thought what a perfect night My imperfections made it so alright The journey had to stop that night I wonder what they saw that night It hard to see one’s own light Especially on that night For rage blinded me that night It had to stop right there that night **What gave them the ******* right?** They hung me on a cross of pain Just to see what I might do Once again I paid the price for all of you The journey should never have been needed A smile led to laughter that filled the void Turning I waved goodbye to them Surely I must be staking raving mad One can only hope and dream Insanity is a tough cross to bear

The price of insanity
Impatiently rattling my golden cage Enlightenment has scratched the bars Shattering the illusions of comfort A gilded cage holds me fast I have lived a moral life …indeed Sadly relaxed sitting in confinement I ponder will anyone visit today I hope it will be a joyful visit It’s easy just listen and heed I have lived a moral life …indeed Weakness grips my soul as the day fades My head cast down in pity and despair No visitors came my way today Another day of isolation fades in my gilded cage I have lived a moral life …indeed I lay my head on the concrete floor My metal was test again today Proudly I think I lived another righteous day It’s late, I ponder will anyone visit today I have lived a moral life …indeed

The fruits of a moral life
Love, hate, all the same Can you not relate? I love you, I hate you Embrace me, now leave What does it mean? How would I know? Leave, stay, all the same Get out, wait please stay **** you, who are you?** Don’t tell me what to do What does it mean? How would I know? It is everything, yet nothing Believe it and be real **** you, who are you** Don’t tell me what to think What does it mean? How would I know? After all that you feel All that you think All that you believe Is that not up to you?

It’s up to you
To dream upon a starless night To Gazing into the empty night From Darkness comes a distance light Brings hope of not a lonely night Lighting the path of dreams for the night Dreams fade from weary eyes Dawn pushes away the night A new day beautifully bright Will another catch my sight? Hope keeps the dream in sight The day fades slowly to night No beauty sighted for the night From Darkness comes a distance light Brings Hope of not another lonely night
