when you're at the mercy of someone who isn't really that capable...
what do you do when enough is enough?
who do you call when you've called your own bluff? and how can you stay on track when you yourself can't move forward enough to know the bad things you've done are just silly stuff that you'll never get over unless you stop them and trust that tomorrow is better if you can get past the rough?
so i sit and i think, how can it be?
has it really happened, is it real, or possible, or a dream?
have you been mis-diagnosed for so many years, or is it all just that the drugs from the first diagnosis weren't strong enough?
so again i ask,
what do you do when you're at the mercy of someone who isn't really that, capable...
(and that person is you)
there's a thunder in our hearts. it's you n me... u n me won't be unhappy. if i only could make a deal with the gods get him to swap our places...
THE QUESTIONS I ASK ARE NOT QUESTIONS I KNOW THE ANSWERS TO, THEY ARE THINGS THAT I THINK I KNOW, BUT ACTUALLY NEVER EVEN COME CLOSE TO KNOWING BECAUSE I'M TOO RETARDED TO GRASP THE REAL EFFECTS OF EVERY MOVE I MAKE ON EVERYTHING AROUND ME.
IS IT TIME TO GROW UP?
IS IT TIME TO LOOK AHEAD?
IS IT POSSIBLE TO NEVER KNOW?
IS IT PROBABLE I'LL NEVER MOVE PAST, RISE ABOVE OR MOVE ON?
HAVE I GRASPED THE LAST STRAW AND PULLED UP THE SHORT STICK? WILL I EVER LEARN?
WHEN IT MAKES LITTLE OR NO SENSE, BUT MEANS EVERYTHING AT ONCE, AND CREATES EVERYTHING THAT I KNOW TO BE EVERYTHING I QUESTION, AND EVERY SENTENCE I SAY REGURGITATES INTO SOMETHING THAT NO WAY CAN BE TRUE, HONEST OR JUST, MAKING IT ALL BLAMED ON LUST WHEN THE SIMPLE TRUTH IS, DISGUST HAS TAKEN OVER TWO PLUS...
AS I LOOK AROUND, I SEE GREATNESS, POWER AND FAME, BUT LOOK CLOSELY AND ALL THAT IS THERE IS THE PAIN THAT IT CAUSED LONG AGO AND HAS NEVER GOTTEN BACK, MAKING MILLIONS OF ERRORS TURN THE WHITE INTO BLACK. DOES IT EVER MAKE SENSE, WHEN I KNOW WHAT IS REAL, BUT I STILL CAN'T UNDERSTAND IT, IT CAN'T BE, WHY CAN'T I FEEL?
U NEVER KNOW, CAUSE U NEVER SEE, WHAT LIES THERE SO BLATANTLY AND MEANS A WORLD U COULD SEE, IS ALL BLURRY AND SEIZED BY THE POWERS THAT BE THAT CREATE DESTINY.
he didn't know where it came from or what inspired him to have such a revelation, but...all of a sudden, something clicked inside his head, and he understood that everything he had been overwhelmed by and all of the drama he had had to deal with were things that he had to change, and things he could change if he just did things a little differently. he had to take a stand, get organized, reevaluate everything and find out what was most important, take care of those things first, and then things would begin to change. it was really that simple. the ball was in his court, and the time was now. it had been too long since he was able to understand that what he didn't think was such a big deal, was turning everything he knew into a huge ordeal.

it was the best of times and the worst of times. he had seen the signs coming, but had no way to stop them. they were small signs at first, but in time, they grew larger, rang louder, and now were piercing and overwhelming all around him.
when he thought back and tried to pin point exactly how he had gotten himself in this situation, he realized that it wasn't just one precise moment or thing that began his downward spiral, but in fact it had been years of mismanagement, wrong turns and lapses in judgment. but at least now he knew it, and was doing something to change his pattern and make a conscious effort to regain his footing and restore his life.
it wouldn't be easy, but it was necessary, and he knew that in the end, he would be happier and hopefully have his life back.
i'm thankful that i have my health, well, whatever is left of it. i'm thankful that i have my family, whoever is still alive. i'm thankful that i have my friends, if only they were talking to me anymore. i'm thankful for Buddy, cause he's the only one who really understands me, and i'm thankful that i am so twisted and meticulous and anal that i can spend hour upon hour doing Photoshop, the one thing that i think keeps me sane-(ish).
so, ok, happy thanksgiving...whatever that means anymore, anyway.
i swear i'm not bitter,
just a little cranky these days...
what i did today, besides smoke pot and walk Buddy, who, btw, jumped in a lake not knowing how cold it was and then jumped out yelping..it was hysterical!
