In laymen terms

by who i am is me   Oct 10, 2016


Out there, brother- man
Is a mad wilderness
Tough you had better be!
When motion-sickness hurls in
and your boat begins to rock gingerly
abreast successions of tidal wave after tidal wave...
Better stand up!
Learn to swim quick or sink,
so deeply into an unmitigated blackness,
vast enough to seem endless- the sun doesn't shine here

Self- pity, between the devil and the deep blue sea
has served its finite purpose
and comes to surface
as a lesson learnt
MAYDAY!!!
The trappings of your perceptive ideals
are to unleash upon the self,
a devastating storm of crosswinds
across the planes of your foundation
leaving only a heartbeat in its wake.
I saw a sunflower in my nightmare

SNAP OUT OF IT!
Birds learn to fly from falling don't you know...
Like Joy is sweeter
when you know hurting
Try and try again, Never stop
Until you know for certain.
