This Life

This life... Oh yeah what a life. Cant tell you how happy I am. I get to live in all this strife. I just love it when im able to. Wake up dread whats ahead. Im sure its not going to be good. Can I just go back to bed. The sky is nice and blue. Exept the rain cloud thats over me. No matter where I go. Its not long till im unable to see. Where the hell is the pause button. It would be great if I could restart. Just like in all the movies. Go back to when I didnt fall apart. But beings I get to live this life. Everyday I just wanna scream. Scream to the top of my lungs. "PLEASE WAKE ME FROM THIS BAD DREAM"!!

This part gives me so much hope for the poet, because he knows he is the one who is carrying the cloud: "Except the rain cloud thats over me. No matter where I go." That is the first step toward releasing himself. You have strong feelings of goodness and light, and a prayer from Kansas today,my friend.
