So long ago Details are blurred Most of the evening has been lost Flirted and drunk into dark recesses But for the piece of gold Placed gently in my hands “I want to go where ever you go” I thought you meant for one night But your mind was on forever Despite my heart of … Continue reading Belief
I know where you’ve been The reality behind strained grin Long sleeves Baggy shirts Underneath it all is hurt Make-up doesn’t hide the sign Emotional decline Soul damaged and burnt Confusion and chaos Not really living Utterly lost Weight of your demons Holding you down Pretending and hiding Praying for an end Or some quick … Continue reading Ammunition
Days get taken away Lost in the fray Incognizant replicant robots Don’t know what they’ve missed Taken for granted Sniveling miscreants Repel any thought of the disenchanted Time flies when you’re falling apart Body and mind disconnected Every moment matters Radioactive fallout Hotter than the sun The world is on fire Long since abandoned A … Continue reading Fallout
We lose friends. We are hurt by those meant to love us. We struggle to find answers. We will likely never have resolution. We might find comfort simply by accepting the reality We are just collateral damage.

Wonderful video/song by one of my favorite artists and a nice follow-up of my previous post about the passage of time. If you have the chance to see Eddie Vedder or Pearl Jam you should do it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QO191imv0s Such is the way of the world You can never know Just where to put all … Continue reading Rise
Another great quote for those of us that are struggling to understand the loss of friendships and relationships when we are chronically ill.
