When sometimes yes
becomes a no
and maybe works
but the mind it's thrown
It's time to have a personal chat
which do I like?
This or that?
When sure is
anything but itself
you find you have
a disconcerting wealth
of questionable questions
throughout the mind
Are you sure,
At this very time?
When, i don't know
is what you've got
you're sure to make
others tempers hot
It's not an answer
so they say
its yes or no,
not sure or okay.
Simply put,
it's all you've got
So be sure to use
your opinion a lot
for if you don't
you'll find yourself
stuck in a rut
of disappointed wealth

It's Your Life.. Grab It!
So I've been doing a lot of thinking and I'm starting to realize that my entire concept on life has been a bit obscure. Truth be told I've spent a lot of time living for everyone but me. I am now realizing that I cannot live for anyone but myself... because I am only one person and I can only control what I do.
Life is just too short to not do the things you love or want to do. If you want to dance... dance. If you want to create art... create art. If you want to travel to the Bahamas for a last minute getaway... do it. If you don't do these things, someday you'll ask yourself what was stopping me? Why did I let all of those great opportunities get away?
I want a few things right now. I want to fill my life with friends and I want to go out and do stuff more than just on the weekends. I want to laugh everyday. I want to think "Damn I'm lucky for all of the great people and wonderful moments in my life." The best part is, I can do all of those things and I really don't need to wait for anything to happen in order to achieve it. I just go out and do it. I will leave you at this point with a poem that touches my heart and makes me think that there is no time like the present.
Live well dear friends
In all you do
tho' paths be old
Or paths be new
But to yourself
Be ever true
LIVE WELL!
Laugh often friends
Tho' passing years
Bring sometimes smiles,
And sometimes tears
For mirth forever
Warms and cheers...
LAUGH OFTEN!
Love much dear friends
For love will bring
The healing joy
And hope of spring
Where pain and fear may never dwell
Nor anguish touch...
And so live well,
Laugh often too
And more,
Dear friends...
LOVE MUCH!
