Premium Member Survival Tips for Recovering Cynics
One: Wake up slowly. Admit it was never that deep. Let your first word be hmmm. Let your second be whatever. Two: Stretch, but not like you mean it. Pop one joint, then stop. You are not an overachiever. You’re alive. That’s enough. Three: Brew something hot and unnecessarily complicated. Call it process. Sip. Sigh. Spill a little on purpose. Four: Reintroduce yourself to color. Start with gray. Work up to a muted mustard. No pressure. Five: Trust...

The day I moved on
I think of you And realize I haven't thought Of you today I feel Like I've done Something wrong Somehow I've been missing you For so long It feels like Second nature And as I think Of you, even now There is no usual Pang of hurt Spiking in my heart Somehow The absence of it Hurts more And it hurts Because I know now I've moved on Without my heart knowing I've been having Sleepless nights Of thinking...

Premium Member Resolution
It finally makes sense You and him No longer haunt me The desperation is gone The void is filled And the wound is healed The digging has stopped The music is just music again No one needs to understand Because now I'm able To stop the If Onlys No tortured metaphors No anguish in the back of my head No longer in pieces Now in peace...

Premium Member The Final Goodbye
The final goodbye Its not a surprise I pushed so hard Saw it happening Couldn't stop it Loathed myself for it The final goodbye I thought would hurt more But it feels self inflicted Which took the sting I already felt empty Now it feels complete The final goodbye They say it's sweet sorrow Why did I make it bitter And the worst part is knowing If...

Premium Member Breaking, Escaping My Doldrums
Being in a rut is driving me nuts. I feel trapped in this doldrums. In my mind, I am screaming … Please, somebody! Get me out! Writing is hard, nothing comes to mind. Going out is tough, even to the market. All I do is read, transporting me to Boston, and Vermont, the settings of the stories. Need to write, but my muse...

Love's Beginnings and Endings
This, is where it began, and this is where it ended. Here my heart knew it must close what it started. I gave you my heart, but you knew I never belonged there before I had a chance to walk away you made friends with the grim reaper and sent him out to play. Play time's over. Now it's time for time-out. Let's think hard...

Premium Member Give Me Back My Music
She's so high Higher I fall to pieces Crawling Hanging by a moment Its the end of the world as we know it I miss you In the end A last resort Nothing to lose A lonely day Its been a while I'm in too deep I stand alone Lost In the meantime The last fight The final countdown No more sorrow Nobody's listening One step closer One last breath One week Only happy when it rains...

Premium Member The Wound
The wound is fresh The pain so raw Seems like it will never heal As I cling to the thought Of what might have been As healing starts Panic replaces pain Scrambling to pick the scab To feel the blood flow The wound is fresh again It keeps trying to heal But I'm afraid to forget To let go of the hurt I need it...

Moving On
How do you move on? When you’ve lost your entire universe In the blink of an eye they’re now gone When all that is left is painful memories How do you continue? When your mind starts to fill with regret And all you can think about is those last words you never ment When you wish you could just take it all...

Premium Member LET US BE ROAD BOUND
Let us disembark, Leaving Middle Passage holes, Let us hit the road:- God is our engine, Motoring us up the way; Hope and faith fueling:- Time waits for no one, We need to hit the pedal; It’s time to speed up:- With eyes on the prize, Let us shift to overdrive; Mountaintop ahead:- The sun is rising, Palm trees palisade the road The dream arriving:- ...
