another way of being

a different way to go


sometimes our house is on fire

yet we think there is reversing in the lane

turn to find the pepperoni has burned

yet nothing is damaged

really


the goods are delivered

and the bird is safe

Peaceful.
Tune
out.
Turn
off.
Walk away.
Visit
serenity.
Walk
the
woods.
Kayak
the pond.
Enjoy
the ocean.
Leave
technology
behind.
Sounds
of silence.
Cleansing
the mind,
easing
the soul.
Scraping
off the
crud.
Cleaning
soiled
fragments
from
the being.
Calming the
din.
Smoothing
the frayed
edges of
this place.
This time.
Teasing
sanity back.
Back from
the abyss.
Back
to a
calmer
state.
Keep from
losing
stable
ground.
Shake out
the toxic.
Follow
the light,
the sounds.
Quiet
scenes.
Offset the
crazies.
Find
peaceful
places
to rest.
no one loves me
but they claim they care
if they really did wouldn't they see

i am falling apart
fragile to the touch
yet they keep on pushing me

closer to the edge
and they think i can take more
so they push farther till i'm at the brink

it's like they know i can't swim
but they are going overboard
and they'll be suprised when i sink

He was tired of all the ugly
People talking about one another
Being two faced is common
People messaging you being bold
They'd never say it to your face
Slandering you to feel better
They think less of you
Trying to get others to do the same
They ruin their own rep projecting
Treating others bad like it's their right
Staying away not empowering insanity
Family divided use to being alone
Don't need to manipulate a crowd
Don't care to be the center of attention
Treat people right they'll genuine
See through all the BS and nonsense

Money may not
grow on trees
But far too many people
are willing to go
out on a limb for it

Their lips touch
Creating a spark
Igniting the flame
Burning deep within
The ultimate sin
Fires burn
Losing control
Flesh on flesh
Lighting the soul
Flames dance
Intertwine
Connecting
In rhythm
Fueling the fire
Little ***** of gasoline
Exploding at the perfect time
Opening hells gates
The fire escapes
Flames light the midnight sky
Lighting a cigarette
The fire slowly dies
Until next time
