Rocky Road Revelations

hiding under the flannel sheets viewing the static matinee thinking it is too late for me i decide to start i realize that i am actually good at something i study over too many of those mini snicker bars i study over too many bottles of that black cherry propel i study over listening to a song called "peppermint twist" on repeat i study over a plethora of small prayer breaks in between walking amongst a crowd of the overcrowded watching the detectives detect knowing now that it is never too late i decide to continue i realize that i am actually better than i thought at something i practice after three slices of bacon and mushroom pizza i practice after two helpings of baked ziti i practice after two downing a wonderful grilled chicken salad i practice after another collection of small prayer breaks in between now here i am in this cap and gown i am in dire need of anything that will immediately coat my stomach right now suddenly i remember where my mindstate was in the last chapter of my life my emotions pour over internally....until my name is called.... a few hours later....somewhere in the wee hours of the morning....another prayer session happens.... my knees may be a little sore....but pain is love....and pain is life....also pain can lead to blessings....that being know....i leave the light on....
