You want to feel better?
A little better, a lot better, better than... who?
Better than what?
For how long? A moment, forever, in between?
When? Now, tomorrow, soon, later, just once, always?
Is it out there, that better feeling....
You think?
Where is it? in the wrap of someone's arms or legs, in the folds of a wallet?
In drugs, in music, in *****, in sharp blades, in a hangman's knot?
In the voice of a child, in the pews of a place? Pills?
In sticking your finger down your throat after you eat?
In a needle transporting a dream into your head via a vein?
In the words of a friend, in the scribbles of a poet?
In LA or NYC or Tibet- In possible or in impossible?
In wanting to be somebody else you can't be, or in wanting to be not you, the you who you must be?
In an office, on a couch for an hour, once a week, for a fortune, for a decade, or for forever?
Will the world change for you; Just for you; Just to make you feel better?

And....

Is it that "feel better" is not outside? Outside your door, outside your mind?

Could it be; And can you visualize that feel better feeling is right where it always was, is, will be....

Available, hiding, waiting, engine running, bright lights on, horn honking, screaming, "here I am!" but still stuck un-found and your yet to be discovered, beautiful, unsought, unseen, untasted, un-reached, unconquered, never climbed, never pursued pots of rainbow gold waiting impatiently amongst the treasure laden mountain tops existing  inside the barricaded barren self made obstacles hiding along the paths you have chosen that bypass the paths which would lead you to your untapped, untouched, untried courage that dwells, abandoned somewhere in your current over rated mind....
