Sometimes I think about those people who

Like to take things that make them high

Perchance to forget?

Do they have the right idea?

Perhaps they have it lucky?

Cause there are times when I feel the same…yes me…

the forward thinker, the calmer…the optimist……

There are times when I wonder what’s the use

Life just pulls at you sometimes and you wonder why….

Is this all there is?

What the fuck?!

Life throws you a curve ball and it seems to be going around

In circles…

Around and around and around

So getting high doesn’t seem to be too bad at all


But….… that’s not for me

I’ve seen a lot in my ‘hanging out’ days

I chose not to do as others did

The past that some wish to forget….

Never will I ever….the hard core stuff is not for me…

So I get lost in my prose, my music, my world…..

Of passion….perhaps a drink or two to soothe

The savage beast within…..

When I feel lost

I drift like any other

Forgetting that there is something, someone

Who can make me feel at peace again…

Who will turn my world right side up so it’s not so crazy…..

Not so crazy

I think, I pray, I’m at peace

And so I wait

I wait

In faith

Prayerfully giving it all to HIM

He’s my high, my mountain

My calm

I let go and let him

And soon the road is clear again

I’m me again…

As I’ve always been

Oh that beast within

Just got side-tracked a bit

Perhaps. Perchance.

Perhaps we are here for a reason.

Perchance we are not.

in the end, does it matter? 

Or should we just make our existance

A statement for others to note?

Perhaps

perchance

Maybe.
