Sometimes I try too hard!
Sometimes I don't try hard enough!
There are times I ask myself, "Why did I say that?" And times when I wonder why I didn't say anything at all.
Sometimes I wish I knew how to let go of situations that hurt me.
Sometimes I am proud of myself for trying to hold on.
I am honest!
But sometimes I do try to cover up the truth.
I have sense of humour!
But my heart is easily broken, I also know sadness.
I long to be understood.
I find it easy to understand others!
I know who I am and what I yearn for!! Yet there are times that I question this.
I will do the right thing!
I will also do the wrong thing!
I have a passion for things I believe in, a passion so strong that I would give up every material thing I own if it meant putting a smile on the face of someone who I knew had been sad for much too long.
I'm good!
I'm also bad!
I am a mixture of body, mind, and spirit!
I am weak!
I am strong!
Sometimes I am scared of everything!
Sometimes fear will never lead me!
I have never claimed to be perfect yet I have seen perfection in the eyes of every single person I have ever met!
I don't enjoy feeling needy, but because I know how to live on feelings alone, I willingly give all I can to those who may need me.
I say fuck a lot!
I love more than I fuck!
I am many things!
There are many things I still want to be!
I will be mis-understood by few
Understood by many!!!
There are so many things I think I know
Things I wish I had not seen
Things I wish I could take back.
I have regrets
I wish I knew how to let them go and proudly claim " I have no regrets"
But I am good with the fact that maybe I am not ready to release them just yet.
I can keep going ... some times I go on an on and on.
There are times when I don't say anything at all!
Sometimes I accept myself for what i am and
My friends will tune me out knowing that all I really need is to vent.. and they know it's ok with me that they are texting someone else. We understand each other at that moment
They know that in my quiet moments I am hearing every word they speak
sometimes i want everything and sometimes don't want anything at all
There are times when all i want is what we can't have
These are the times when i hurt the most
These are the times when I long to be understood
But it's only because I am having a hard time understanding myself.
So what am I really trying to say?
Like it or not we are all the same.
We all feel what I wrote above.
Just for today look deep into the eyes of another human being who has angered you
choose to see all the hidden love that lurks there
Allow them to be whatever they are feeling at the moment
Forget about words and actions too
Love with all your heart
Expect nothing in return
That moment of your life may save that person many hours of pain, indecisiveness, and fear
It may save their life!
and chances are
it may very well save you!
Sometimes I will edit everything I write hoping that others like the comas and the periods and believe that they are all in the right place, you know how they, should! Be;
Most times! I don't edit' a: thjbg!
I am not the "B"egining or the end ".!?"
I am whatever you choose to see!
I could say
"I don't care what you think of me! "
But sometimes I do care because I see the best in you
Of course there will be times when I hope you can see the best in me!
Sometimes I just don't know when to "stop"
And sometimes
I do!

ERROR
Error
Error:
1. The deviation from accuracy or correctness; a
mistake, as in action or speech
2. Belief in something untrue; the holding of
mistaken opinions
Alice: “This is impossible.”
The Mad Hatter: “Only if you
believe it is.”
Errors:
I can’t
I couldn’t
I won’t
I don’t know how
Things do not come
easily for me
I’m too old
I fail
I lost
It’s a trap
Doors are always
closing for me
Not Errors:
I can
I could
I will
I know how
Everything comes
easily for me
I’m young
I succeed
I win
It’s a golden
opportunity
Doors open easily
for me
In the past I have
spent more time dwelling on the above-mentioned errors than I care to admit.
Today however I am here to personally declare,
“That bullshit keeps
you trapped. Negative thinking is the only thing keeping you in the “darkness”.
Its time to turn on the f*cking light. So come on… follow me, I know you want to!”
Positive thinking is
just a “light switch” and it really isn’t difficult to find.
Every morning you
open your eyes?
That’s light switch
number 1!
Your first thought?
Light switch number
2!
Every thought that
follows is dependent on that second “switch”.
Can you remember
your first morning thought?
Is it positive?
Probably not.
What if I told you
that it really is this simple?
We try too hard;
this is a fact. We analyze everything until it is rotten. Worse, we give it no
thought at all; discard it as somebody else’s “problem.
We convince
ourselves that either we are wrong, or somebody else is, thus the reason we
just aren’t happy.
What if I told you
that there is no “wrong” answer, no black or white… everything is “colorful and
all we have to do to feel eternally “joyful” is to slightly adjust our way of
“thinking”.
All we have to do is
turn the “light on”.
Do I hear a sigh of
relief?
Well go ahead and
sigh because it really is that simple!
Please
Go ahead
Turn on the light
Concentrate on the
check mark above
Let go of “errors”
Allow yourself to be
a positive person
Start here…
Just for today:
When you catch
yourself thinking or feeling or being negative, which I am almost certain you
will do, “SHOUT OUT LOUD!”
“That’s OK!”
And it really
fucking is!
Now, look around you,
find one thing that is “right”, then
another, and another, and I am certain that you will.
Look at that, you
have just discovered 2 more light switches.
After this easier
than “pie” (life is a bowl of cherries) practice, let it all “GO”. Where? I don’t know and neither
should you, return to whatever it is you were doing.
I bet my life you
are suddenly in “THE MOMENT”
The next time your
mind decides it is going to trick you into “error mode” or “negative thinking”,
and it will happen.
Just repeat the
above.
It really is this
simple!
After about 5 days,
give or take a day, that’s all, you will be well on your way to re-conditioning
negative brain waves into a mind frame that sees, feels, and experiences
complete happiness.
It really is this
easy!
You have a voice?
Use it to affect how
you “think”.
You have a choice?
Use it to experience
joy
Maybe you have a
thought or two, or more?
Use it to turn the
light “ON”.
This is your “OPEN” door out of darkness.
Are you walking
through?
I bet my life you
want to at least try?
It really is this
easy!
So try and, maybe,
try again.
Remember the “x”
is a crossroads into the dark.
The “check mark” is a decision to be
positive.
Choose wisely!
All you have to do
is “think” like a Mad Hatter”:
“Only if you believe
it is!”
And…
It really is this
easy!

HUMBLE
"She"
is beauty well rehearsed
but never planned
Like Linen - simple
Like glass - delicate
Like steel - glistening strength
In her eyes is an untold story -
Inner knowing
A story that will never grow old
One you will tell over and over again.
To be in the presence
of someone so captivating
humbles "me"
helps me remember that most days
I feel like the lining on a silver
cloud-
Brilliant and free
I am hopeful that “She “ and I
Will meet one day
We will be humbled
by each other
First from a distance
Then humbled once again
as our hands reach out
to touch the magic in the air
She is electric
Dynamic
Explosive
Polite
Everything I remind myself to be
"He"
is a tiny perfect little man
living in his modest little house
In his LARGER than life forest
where chopping down trees is a felony
He is safe there
His over-sized, pointy little nose
Glistens like a rooftop after rain
You must know the roof I speak of?
The twisty, colorful one
where shingles are not permitted
but tiny forest animals
are more than welcome to linger in
the sun
or find shelter in the eaves when it
storms
In his home
Manners are a must
Laughter is encouraged
Judgmental folks will be escorted out
For they can not magically shrink
To his humble little size
“He” and I have met
sipped bittersweet tea from tiny cups
as we discovered how best
to teach others by example
We brought up the meaning of
“Humble”
quite a few times
that day
that night
He is adventurous
Respectful
Brave
Merry
Everything I remind myself to be
Humble beginnings
Are easily found
Humble endings-
Predictable
The true meaning of “Humble” however
Is in the “Middle”
It was “she” who taught us that.
