A Tell Tale Sign

Nothing in My Way ~ Keane

I should know answering fire with fire is no way to resolve issues……… I am no epitome of patience but I ought to know better…..

Do I call the contradicting forces tearing my life apart blessings in disguise?

The truth is it is hard to watch yourself waste away in the hopes of conquering a fate that is not yours to create…….or should I say was never yours to create……

Waste is a word which is like a Mac knife stuck in my side…….threatening to muffle my voices of faith and last cries of hope….

I who am nothing…….will never be defined by what I leave behind……

Bitter I may be but not yet insane……..

I am not what I used to be…..but I am not who I have never been…….

I am the yet to come……..and this day will pass……this pain will subside ……this ravenous storm……will calm…..

And then when the truth finds it’s way home……there I will be to break the whispering wind…..becoming my own……..

“It’s just another day, nothing in my way…..I don’t want to go……. I don’t want to stay….so there’s nothing left to say”

Egg Shells..

So while all the years of wisdom washes down the drain …..any one  care to throw in the obligatory “I told you so’s”?

Coffee and Cigarettes~ Michelle Featherstone

But don’t say I didn’t try…….I put myself out there like I always do, I stood on the frontline…..

” I gave up coffee and cigarettes
I hate to say it hasn’t helped me yet
I thought my problems would just dissipate
And all my pain would be in yesterday”

I am just as bad…..takes me awhile to catch on…..

“I poured my booze all down the kitchen drain
And watched my bad habits get flushed away
I thought that that would keep my head on straight
And all my pain would be in yesterday”

It got me thinking though…..I never was in the right…..

” I thought that if I didn’t go and play
The sadness would get bored and go away
I thought that if I didn’t go astray
That all my pain would be in yesterday”

I asked for too much….I always did….

“I sold my guitar and my piano
I thought that it was these that kept me low
I thought if only I could try and change
That all my pain would be in yesterday”

You were right…..words are just words ….written on paper….. never mean anything….hollow meaningless words……that make a lot of noise….

I guess it’s now my turn to walk on egg shells…..

“But it’s true
I’m still blue
But I finally know what to do
I must quit, I must quit, you”
