Tangles & Knots
In my hair there are tangles and knots
Knots of anxiety, grief and depression that leave pulled painful ripped empty spots
Tangle one hair, pull with the other
Another knot to discover
Pain from the pull and tangle
Damage and destruction from the strangle
Again & again the pull and the detangle begin
Where it ends is where it begins
Hopeless and tired of trying
Only leads to more disappointment and crying
What’s the point in trying
When all you feel like is hiding
Tangled and in distress
Feelings of hopelessness and nothingness
Tangled in this web we weave
But I’m the one who is constantly deceived
With false promises and no care
It doesn’t matter about your tangled and knotted hair

I
Tangles
Life in bang - les and jangles
One angle
Unravels the tangles
One bang - le at a time
II
My only angle
Of untying any tangle
Is to hop on Faith - plane
Even if time made it a debris jungle
Faith rescues me every time

Darkness approaches,
wrapping me in its cruel embrace
Blank shadows on the wall,
feigns their affection for all
Night sings its worthless song,
blanketing the night in anguish
Tangles of memories are closing in,
whispering past my chilled skin
They echo in the wind at night,
calling me back in time
Amidst the hours that slowly turns
Sad eyes with no tears, burns
How do I forget?
Letting you go without regret?

WIPE THE TEARS FROM YOUR EYES
THE ONIONS ARE TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU
CRY NO MORE THAT THEY SHALL
BE SAUTEED AND EATIN!
THAT THE LABORS OF THESE PERSONS SHALL NOT BE IN VAIN
THAT THESE ONIONS SHALL MAKE FOOD FOR HUNGRY PERSONS
TO COMPLIMENT THE MEAT OF THEIR CHOSING
AND SHALL (SOME) BE SAUCED IN GRAVY
THE ONIONS SHALL BE TASTED AND LOVED
THAT THE EFFORDS OF THOSE WHO LABORED MIGHT NOT BE
OR HAVE BEEN IN VAIN!

I don't know what I want to write
But I will write about irritating
Do you get irritate when people give advice
when it is not needed AND you didn't ask for one
I do
It irritates me and I know it
I didn't ask you for one
Why did you give it to me?....
It goes the same for you
Why did you give advice?
Is it because you think you know more than the other person?
You don't
Is it because you think the person needs it?
How would you know?
Either way you don't
You don't know what the person is going through
What they try to work on
Don't put fire into fire
There - I said my piece
I am not one to hold back
So if it irritates me, you are gonna know it
Don't put fire into fire
I like that
