Perfection is an illusion
Unless the subject is God
Strive to be kind, not perfect!
Please understand that the choice to be kind, happy, gentle, vulnerable comes from a place to not allow the pain of life to callous you. We might as well make the madness beautiful. Because illness is a manifestation of collected stress, hurt, pain, trauma and suppressed feelings. Be good to yourself and others, brothers and sisters.

the demons are dead
but their skeletons remain

the zombies are gone
but their skeletons remain

what am i to do
when the bones wont go
- - -
knocked me down
i don't want to get up

push me deeper
until i'm part of the earth

There I am am feeling like I belong.
Not an inkling of bring wrong.
Along comes another
to show me I'm a bother.

Like them I cannot be...
...yet still I try
