Thoughts along my way

(no sleep 2nd night in a row, let's see if this makes sense)

I have heard that the world usually gives back to us, what we expect. Not what we want or need or deserve, what we expect. So even if we want good things and feel that we deserve good things, if we expect to have hard times, we're probably going to end up having hard times. Of course, I don't think things work quite like that but what we expect does color how we view what we have and what we get. I mean yes, bad shit happens. But a lot of whether we have a "good" life or "happy" life comes down to perspective.

   I believe a I've made a valid point in there somewhere (laughs). And if you actually made it this far, I applaud your tenacity. Hopefully I'll sleep tonight and until then, maybe no more writing... 

Off a nameless isle in an unknown sea,

A sullen vessel lies,

The fated victim of an unseen reef

And fury from the skies.

Starkly jutting from the lonely deep,

A mast is all that shows.

A monument to once what was

And what remains below.

The grotesque hull lies slowly rotting

In the mire of the floor.

The crew replaced by slime and sludge,

This ship will sail no more.

Vessels now and then may pass

And sight the weathered mast.

It's repulsive visage foretells of doom

These ships keep sailing past.

But within  its hull a treasure sits,

In some dark room or hold.

Wondrous wealth, untouched by man,

An unseen heart of gold.

Day Won

        I am who I am, 

        For  better or worse,

        Some days that's  a blessing,

        Some days that's a curse.

        Today may bring laughter,

         Tomorrow bring tears,  

        They both make me stronger,

        To fight through my fears.

        This world is a hard one,

        It's not always fun,

        But each day I end smiling,

        Is a day that I've Won.
