I hate surprises
Oh, don't give me
Alice's intentions
and a queen of hearts
attitude.
In Wonderland,
with a good smile,
even cats disappear.
In wonder
with a good
disappear.
Cat's land smile.
Alice's intentions
and a queen of hearts
attitude.
In Wonderland,
with a good smile,
even cats disappear.
In wonder
with a good
disappear.
Cat's land smile.

How I Feel
Its been sorrowful to the point,
I cry without wet salty tears,
Feelings do but don't appoint,
as erased are my life's fears.
I'm so stuck in its gears.
I cry without wet salty tears,
Feelings do but don't appoint,
as erased are my life's fears.
I'm so stuck in its gears.

Shadow Dancing
I live with myself full-time
The perception of others
Is temporary, a pit stop
Dancing in shadows has ceased
How my life is interpreted
Is no longer my business
The perception of others
Is temporary, a pit stop
Dancing in shadows has ceased
How my life is interpreted
Is no longer my business

Perfectionism
From a young age
I was terrified
I would reach my full potential
And there would be nothing left of me
I was terrified
I would reach my full potential
And there would be nothing left of me

They Say Destiny Finds You
This morning I woke up differently
Unburdened
My life imperfect
Unresolved
Wholly mine
With nothing left to prove
It’s going to be a good day
Unburdened
My life imperfect
Unresolved
Wholly mine
With nothing left to prove
It’s going to be a good day

One Must
It is
When writes
Anything
Be it
For a living
For pleasure
Or Therapy
One does Not
Necessarily Believe
What one has Written
But For Those
Who's Sanity
Rests with the Pen

Shin-rin Yoku Too!
Sun bathing
One tends to get a nice tan
To much sun
One goes lobster!
Shin-rin Yoku (tree bathing)
I spent to long under the leaves
And turned green!
this experience
Left me feeling jaded!
