We trip because we do not want to break
We scrutinize what we let in
Yet we call ourselves free flowing in the wind
We have wings but hide in cocoons
Were we trip silently like caged baboons
We can fly any time we like
Instead we just trip silently
Demons take flight
Wicked with brooms
Whisking away what had just bloomed
Stealing the good that just happened
Leaving us with a head trip that is snappin
Left to trip silently
I, swinging high into the sky
On the swing set at the park
I have to twist and spin
I must swing and sway and play all day
Love the feeling of the wind past my ears
My hair blowing in the breeze
I love to play even with skinned knees
"You should roller skate." He said
I looked at him like I did not have a clue
"I used to love skating, what fun!"
And so I asked why he thought I should skate
and he said with a smile
"That is what little girls do!"
I do go through many phases
One of them was you
I look back on US now
Wondering what was I thinking?
That was not me!
Whoever I became with you was not me
That is why you were a phase you see
I tried your ways and found them fun
But none of them stuck like gum
Because you were just a phase I was going through
I look back now and I laugh
You were a trip and a half, a blast
* I shrug my shoulders
But you were not to my true taste
And so once again I phase
I GRIN*
And I remember all those phases that have come before
Yeah, somewhat a revolving door
SURE! Because I try new things
I like to explore
It is ok for me to say
You were just a phase I was going through
Think- wow that was awesome
Feel- I feel so good
Think- I hope he ...
Feel-worthlessness
Think- he probably thinks I am too much
Feel-not good enough
Think-why I am never good enough
Feel-hurt and alone - rejected
Think- I am being rejected
Think- we were so good together
Feel- why would I feel alone worthless and hurt after such a great experience?
FEEL- what I experienced was awesome.  I loved every moment of it, every sound every feel and every move, every look.

I feel that what I think ends up messing up what I feel.
I think perhaps I should just let feelings sit without trying to categorize them too fast.
Every morning I wake up with a bunch of feelings, a lot of thoughts and I try to work them out through written word/poetry.  Most of the time I have no idea what I am going to write about.  I simply open a NEW POEM window and start expressing how I feel, what I think.
This morning I want to separate the two.  Because what I feel has little to do with what I think- I-We make it over complicated.  What I feel gets muddied up by what I think.  What I feel without thinking is pure-PURE and good.  I only taint it by adding thoughts-ATTACHMENTS- to my experience.  My experience and feelings were perfect before I started adding "crap" to it/them.
I find this to be MY TRUTH.
Thoughts bring expectations, doubts, and negativity.  It clouds what was real with a bunch of ****!
I am going to remember ALL OF IT without expectations, doubts and n TRIPPIN because I am keeping my thoughts out of it.
I think* I THINK* (too much) I think we over think stuff and **** it up.  Some things should just be left as experiences without putting all that thinking on top of it to TAKE AWAY the feelings.  YES THINKING COVERS YOUR FEELINGS FOOL!  But you knew that didn't you?
just a random thought to show a good example of how things get diluted by thinking too much
My first thought as I woke was of the stars
Of the boy who tried so hard to get back to his rose
The love I feel, the sadness and the hope
That my rose will bloom
My world will be the one where the rules make sense
There will be no pretense
Just the love of ones rose, the friendship of the fox
and the knowledge of the snake.

You will never see the stars again the same way my friend
We shall be bonded to the very end
By stars, the love of a rose, a fox and snake
Not to mention the pilot for goodness sake!
Here is to drawing an elephant being eaten by a snake
To which the grown ups will never understand
Here is to learning to draw something other than a sheep ; )
And here is to discovering your rose, for which there will be only one
My gift to you came with love~
The stars will never be the same again my friend
*THE LITTLE PRINCE
There is only one place I wish to be
Unfortunately for me
You see it takes two
Both you & me
And that is not the place you wish to be
There is still only one place I want to be
Hoping time will provide
Show us what is right
Maybe in time things will change
Feelings will rearrange until we agree
There is only one place I wish to be
I hope someday there we meet
I just offered you everything you asked for
You asked for years for this
I just said Yes
Now you say NO!
So off with me
Away I go
Not providing all that you begged me for
I was finally ready to do your chores
Raise your kids
Teach you how too do so many things
Our time was cut short and I wanted to make it up
Clearly, with intent I asked for this Universal plan
But again you drag your feet over some MAN!
You can tell me it is about anything you want.
I know better.  I know what drives you
More than anybody ever!
YOUR  life would change so much
I know that scares you, me too
But we love each other so much
How could it be anything but good?
I would be giving up a lot of myself once again?
I want so much more for you-in the end
Knowing living with me would force you to live and not Pretend
Make up your mind my girl, think it out
Because once I move
It will be too late to shout
I will not be so close
Though I won't be far
It is time for me to plan
But if your OUT I understand
Do your life cycles as you will
I am choosing to stop struggling and living with the ill
I am moving to comfort, music and dance
I am moving to make my own life happy and full of chance!
Offered you a way out of your mess
But if you choose not to take it
It is simply your game of chess
I won't be able to save you later
So it is time to reconsider
Do you want to share a house with me?
Want help with those kiddies>?<
It is time to pick and choose your destiny
Want to go down that path with me?
let us heal and make those kids better humans ; )
