I can’t think about the **** ton of yesterdays
Or the half baked tomorrows
If I dwell on the yesteryears
Then I miss the meanwhiles
Contentment to current events
Leads to a joyous jaunt
Finding the lining is what it’s about
The it of the life journey
You know, the one we are all on

There’s a lot I can handle
Much I can take
But one thing can’t stand
And don’t tolerate

It’s when you ignore me
Because it’s a lie
A forgery in process
A system of deny

Face up to the music
Feelings and trust
Why hide from the truth
Or cover it in lust

Running from what
Yourself in the lack
Indecisive pathways
Or reasons in your sac(k)

Whatever the problem
I no longer care
Cuz ignoring is my limit
And you did dare

You don’t know
The lengths of strength
Of fortitude
Endurance
To maintain and gain
Every day of life
As I drive along my path
Steel nerves when I swerve
This bump and that hole
See what you think
But I know
My power and resilience
Where it comes
How it stays
Continuance
Should guessing remain
As frailty rules your skull
To this point
No longer care
As it’s already known
What remains
And who is the mightier

Am I reminding you that I exist?
Why do I take on that task?
I should be embedded
In your brain
In your veins
Like you are in mine

Why do I fall for the mystery?
Am I some snake charmer?
Or do I get bitten 1000 times?

Why do I feel Wrong
For feeling so much
Why should I be
Ashamed

The intensity inside me
Overwhelms and leaks
I can’t always
Contain

The world doesn’t understand
Even as I feel them
Their emotion or
Emptiness

They pour themselves
Into me and
I withstand again and
Again

Would I feel empty
Without that tether
To the emotional
Atmosphere

It’s easy to slip
Go into darkness
Hide from the world as it
Rejects

I put up walls
Just to survive
Their onslaught of
Feelings

I carry on
I crave that passion
While I detest the
Nothingness
