SELF SABOTAGE

Author's Notes/Comments: 

LISTEN TO YOUR OWN SELF TALK. DON'T THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE ABOUT YOURSELF OR DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN...THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU DO LIKE AND FOCUS ON  WHAT YOU DO WANT...SIMPLY CHANGE THAT STUFF AND NOTICE WHAT CHANGES....IT MATTERS WHAT YOU FOCUS ON...THOUGHTS ARE THINGS WITH ENERGY AND  THEY ATTRACT MORE OF THE SAME SO DON'T ATTRACT STUFF THAT YOU DON'T WANT AND YOU CAN CHANGE THE GAME....

DRIVE YOUR OWN CAR...I LOVE THAT...

AN OBSERVER

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I STARTED OUT WITH THE FIRST TWO  LINES AND THEN WASN'T SURE WHERE I WANTED TO GO WITH THEM...ORIGINALLY WROTE RATHER HEAR YOUR  TWO CENTS THAN SILENCE AND CHANGED IT TO RATHER GIVE MY TWO CENTS THAN SILENCE TO AVOID CONFUSION OF SOMEONE THINKING  I MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR COMMENTS WHICH I AM NOT...I DISABLE COMMENTS CUZ  THERE WAS ONE WEIRD PERSON LEAVING WEIRD COMMENTS ON MY POETRY A LOT AND I WAS GETTING TIRED OF BEING BOTHERED TO GO AND DELETE THEM ALL THE TIME... I WAS WATCHING THIS IS  SPINAL TAP A ROCKUMENTARY MOCKUMENTARY WHEN THE FIRST TWO LINES CAME TO ME AND I HAD TO PAUSE IT AND THEN SIT A MINUTE TO TRY TO THINK WHAT I WANTED TO ADD TO IT...WHENEVER LINES POP INTO MY HEAD I HAVE TO STOP WHAT I AM DOING AND WRITE THEM DOWN FAST OR I LOSE THEM...THEY ARE FLEETING...YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES...MOST OF THE TIME THEY JUST KEEP COMING BUT SOMETIMES I GET STUMPED A MINUTE...REGARDLESS USUALLY WRITTEN IN A MINUTE OR TWO...

SUCH IS THE SOUND OF SILENCE

A NEW YEAR WISH

Author's Notes/Comments: 

MAY ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE BE ENLIGHTENED THIS NEW YEAR. MAY THE TRUTH BE APPARENT TO EVERYONE. DO WHAT YOU CAN EVERY DAY TO RAISE YOUR VIBRATION AND IN THAT WAY YOU WILL AFFECT THE VIBRATION OF THE UNIVERSE FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF ALL. HOPEFULLY THE ONES DOING HARM WILL  REALIZE THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS AND BECOME HARMLESS AND WE CAN AND WILL HAVE HEAVEN ON EARTH...PEACE AND GOOD WILL TO ALL LIVING BEINGS. GOD BLESS US ALL.
