Portrayals That Make Me Weep

Change, you must change and try The words chanted at me, that I chant to another I am not affirmed I'm in between two hardships and haven't slept So I'm lay around being useless "You'll be happy if you just do something positive" I say that kind of stuff too I'm sure I want to hear not that the words I said were heard, but that I was heard Not seen lay around being useless but seen I'm here, see me now I'll have to be fully switched on tomorrow I can't use an ounce too much today, that's how I feel I'm not a constant light, I'm flickers that become near invisible in the inbetween times I do like this music drifting through from the other room, I can be lovable. Just a simple switch from looking in to looking out and I'm there But I've spoken and all I hear back are reasons to be ashamed So now I drown in it

I have heard and seen your pilgrim soul as Yeats might say. I've been and still am where you are in that in between. I believe shame needs reasons, but simply being requires only deep observation as you have done. Thank you.

Thank you - the moods I go into always seem so pointless afterwards but so justified at the time. Maybe I'll figure something out or get bored of myself and snap out of it, it's hard to tell. I have the magic that 24 hours tends to change my outlook the vast majority of the time but unfortunately it comes back just as suddenly x

Coupling with a goal of a fulfilling life together; when things go astray with the in-betweens get up and get on that souffle! We can't always be Johnny on the spot, although I'm the one who installed the dead lock!

Its hard to make them understand, the ideas they have they think so grand, They think they have nothin missin, so hard to make them listen. Even shouting from a rooftop wont make them stop. They get an idea and its in their head. Time he listened to you instead. To make him understand how YOU feel is so hard and yet so very real. Did I get it right D? Keep smiling lovely lady.

24 hours in between seems to have sorted it...
