Curiosity Suicide

Dug deep
and went in depth
to bypass surface truths
that muddy perceptions…

Got to the core finally
only to find
upon closer inspection
these well meant deceptions
were for my own protection…

Wish I could go back
to my blissful ignorance

Ride The Rise

Chronically cynical me
wants to believe desperately
in anything…

or anyone…

Cause it’s not easy
lugging these chains of negativity
all around this grind of a life
that will bury you
if you can’t manage
to rise above the bullshit
every once and awhile

Processed Life

Round and round…

Dizzy from the spin…

Chasing a tail
we will never catch…

Satisfaction rarely guaranteed…

Yet the fruitless pursuit proceeds…

Instead of keeping score
as we try to quantify
and desperately justify
our timeline quite finite
perhaps we’d be best served
if we graded ourselves on a curve…

Embrace life’s variations…

Cut our stressed asses some slack…

Finally accept the obvious fact
that winning this game
is all in the playing..
