where do you go when the wind blows nothing but cold?

who's face do you look for when they all turn away?

what philosophy can get you through pain

when you dont even know how it got there again?


who's to blame when it all rubs the wrong way?

what attitude do you adjust except you own?

what fight is there worth winning when none of it goes away?

the rest is not ours to change there is only so much one can do

what use is the truth when the boundaries are outside of you?


whose dark cloud has invaded my space?

who's light can I really depend on?

When to give is only a part, to take is even harder

what do you account for when nothing adds up any way?

the mood unleashes again another endless fray?


push it all in, just one more day,

the will to live must be displayed

close the door on one more pain,

it all remains the same everything is seen.

learn to live with the new damage

sit atop the pile like a frozen queen


the mantra begins


the self is sustained by the will to live

the soul is sustained by the will to love

the heart is sustained by the reminder of pain

the body is but a hostage to all that remains.


the question begs


where do you look when all else decays?


the answer refuses to say.
