Never Say Never

Insanity vs. HUMANITY

When the tough gets rough

you hafta say enough.

Pick up your pieces to the puzzle

and put your past in a muzzle.

Don't wait till it's too late

and life is lost in fate.

Don't lose your turn in the game of life

nor end it with the tip of the knife.

Stand-up! Fight thru the fright

take freedom with all your might.

Face your reflection in the mirror

and know things will be clearer.

If you lose yourself in the process

and start to suppress,

take your liberty and raise a fist

even if you need to get pissed.

So, when the path gets tough,

continue moving thru your stuff,

knowing there's an end to the insanity.

You are amongst all of humanity.

Happy Holidays to you all!

Time stamped!!!

I rub my eyes of all its sleepies. I wake-up in a pool of sweat and look around the room. I wonder where I am and how I got here.

It's been so long since I have entertained the idea of blogging again. Time elapsed. Events unfolded. Mistakes were made and learned from along the way. My life was dark, lonely, and about to spiral out of control. My self-image was non-existent and foreign to me as I stared into the mirror. "Who was I?" "Who have I become?" "How did I lose myself and my self-respect?" "Where did I veer off the course of life?" Questions began to bombard my brain. I knew everything was not right and had to change.

Change is what needed to happen. Change is exactly what happened. I faced my greatest fear and ended things for once and for all. I was given the gift of life again, a second chance at living. I was shown the light and treated with love. I was listened too, heard, and respected for the first time ever. I realized what it means to be living life once and for all.

I stamp this time in my life as happy, lucky, and full of true love. The meaning of life has knocked on my door and I have answered. ED was not the intruder nor was the path of self-destruction. Thank you all for showing and guiding me towards the light in my life.

Caged...

Trapped in despair

with all my fears

not a place to call your own.

Lost amidst sea

just wanting to flee

not a place to call my own.

Stricten with tears

throughout all these years

not a place to call our own.

Panicked with fear

without being able to bare

not a place to call her own.

Angered by pain

struggling to be sane

not a place to call their own.

Saddened afloat sorrow

wanting it to be tomorrow

not a place to call your own.
