Listen to life,
Right now is your chance
To turn it around,
To find life's romance.

This is your call,
Listen to your soul;
Let yourself fall
Into what you know.

This is your time,
Wherever you are,
Whatever you've done,
Let this in your heart...

Let go of worry.
Let go of your pain.
Learn to have fun,
And dance in the rain.

Love every problem,
And just look underneath...
For hiding within
Is the answer you seek.

Your suffering ends
When you choose to live;
To let life begin,
And love All That Is.


Your future thanks you...
     You just came to life.

To put it
bluntly:
We both
know
this is

Pointless

.
the pursuit of happiness
oft bypasses common sense

Tied

I was never good at tying knots
Until you came along
And taught me every way to tie
A necktie, a bow tie, a scarf
And then we would untie them;
I like that you wear scarves;
You quickly taught me how
To tangle sheets in the thick of darkness
And we then learned how to untangle
Arms, legs, fingers and toes
While the sun rose
And baked us in possibility;
When neckties and sheets
Were no longer a challenge
We tackled tying heartstrings
And very quickly those knots were made
Fastening your heart to mine
A beautiful mass of present and past
And a little of what could be;
We practiced our little knots
Of fabric flesh and feelings,
All day, everyday
Eight months of days
We had them perfected
As perfect as we needed them to be
There's no way they'd come undone
And now as you're leaving
And I don't know if you can feel it
But those strings are tight
They're holding good,
But I'm feeling a little ripping,
Right there in my chest;
Maybe you should untie them
Because you always tied best.
Ty was always tying ties...
i know i'm not special,
not worth the love
you've given me
or lack of,
i don't deserve your forgiveness,
so i just sit back and let you
get your anger out.

let you hurt me as I've hurt you.

submit to every request,
will that make you happy?
will it make you feel better?

anything for you i'll do
because I've hurt you as you're beginning to hurt me.

it will be okay,
i can cut all the pain away.
will that make it better?

i'll hold my tongue when you
make fun of me
as it is, i made fun of you too.

i'll stay up nights making sure you are okay,
while i cry all night
wishing i was dead.

but its okay, because i do it for you.
because while you hurt me for hurting you
, i still care.

you don't even have to say sorry,
i'll deal with it.

while i tried to love you,
you didn't accept it
a joke you called it,
fake.

i kept quiet, don't argue.
it will get better.

no apologies can
make it better
so i let you get it out
while i sit back and take it.

because while you're killing me for
hurting you,
i *died.
We know your secrets, we've drowned in your tears
You've damaged our ears with your loud cries
We cradle your cranium and support your spine
We don't ask for much but a little freshing up and a new coat of paint
We never leave you, we never lie, we never ask, we're your punching bag
you don't even know it
but you need us
Good night

yours truly
The pillow.
