A Quiet Mind

Softly shouting voices chastising me within
A gentle war is raging the one I'll never win
Silent is the screaming just behind the eyes
desperate to decipher the truth within the lies
Over thinking under planning feed my restless night
Seeking any solace to release me from this plight
Constant plots and scheming none can be resolved
Machines that work the riddles never to be solved
Endless quests and searching yet never will I find
Perfect grace and peaceful comfort of a quiet mind.

Very nice. Good imagery.

Yet, it doesn't seem like you would create something so dramataic... so sad... so hopeless.

As for myself, there's a possibility.

Cheer up there Wolfe! Get ready for le' holidays.

C.L., incredible.

and, at the risk of sounding incredible corny, "I wish you peace." (Eagles)

As much as I hate to admit it Stef, I can be a bit of a "drama queen" although quite comfortable in my manhood! ;^)

Hopefully things aren't as bleak as my words. It just kinda spewed forth like gushing spittle & baby pablum.

Kinda gross I know, but you wouldn't believe the mess! Now I have expensive cleaner costs to incur!

TJ-
Yes, quite corny, however your comments are very much appreciated! Thanks for following my thankless blog.

By the way, are you who I believe you to be, or do you represent the country of Mexico?

Blink your eyes twice for yes- 30 times for no.

blink, blink. I am also the gushing aunt of two adorable kids from Guatemala, hence Tia.

A blog by its nature is thankless - but never pointless - as your entries have shown. Catching up slowly.

That is a moving poem, Wolfe. *nods*

Thanks little I, that means a lot, but where is it moving to?

Thank you SO MUCH for your comment Wolfe. It really means a lot to me. Yes, I'm only 18 and this is (so far) the most confusing time in my life. I know there will be even more hardships ahead. But your words are so true. If I dwell on the bad, I will forever be miserable. I will just be moving in circles. Maybe since I'm thinking too much about being miserable, it's attracting the bad. I actually had this one day where a fly was appearing out of the blue. So I thought, "Why are all these flies following me today? Maybe it's a sign." And then, I swear, for the next 5 days, a fly came to me. Whether it was while I was getting my haircut, at McDonalds, in the car, and even at the factory. So I think (now that you got me thinking) that bad attracts bad.

And no, your not a broken record.
Your words are true. I need to think of all the good I have in life. Then maybe when I'm happy (I actually make wishes to be genuinely happy) I will be blessed with Karma.

And I do love to believe everything happens for a reason. But lately, that reason is a bit fuzzy to me.

Maybe I should get some serious eye surgery (literally... I have bad eyes, and metaphorically).

Once again, thanks for caring Chris.

ALWAYS welcome Stef!
Now go on w/yo' bad self!

PS- You get your haircut at McDonalds? What's the current stye, the Ronald?


I don't think they have soup so you'd have to tell them you found a fly in your McMuffin or what ever Mcfood your eating at the time. Call your lawyer.
