You can't read people's minds and you don't have a crystal ball. Meaning, you don't know what people are thinking about you and you can't tell how the future will go.

I wrote this today as a reaction to someones words

To whom it concerns

You do not understand,
Surrounded by gems and sparkling wonder.
I wonder how you came to such a mindset.
Perhaps raised with money pouring from an endless fountain,
or something else,
Where you lived out life,
Never worried about sleep
And all its demons.
Perhaps the silver spoon's handle
to wide to see below
the backs you're walking on and mocking.
“ They're like zombies” you say with a laugh.
Well perhaps you're right.
Bitten by society,
With all life sucked out of them.
They were just trying,
As hard as we all do.
And they fell.
Some working two jobs,
Yet still they fell.
And down and down they go.
Because people like you think like that,
Even a school principal in sun valley,
Lives out of her car because rent went up so high.
Think about that.

maybe some things best
left broken; maybe to #mend
would be of great harm

I wrote this yesterday. Poetry is a great comfort when thoughts are racing.

To Feel Ok Again

The glass shatters.
I look up,
As art filled skies paint pictures in my mind,
Somehow in this vast lonely expanse,
I exist amongst magnificent beauty.
If we only knew,
Just how lovely everything can be.
Of course your depressed,
when all you do
is mentally sit in the shadows,
of this bright magnificent world.
Darling,
you were meant to feel the light.
Keep looking for the windows.
I'll hold your hand.

a flower's thorns
and a word's sharpness...
both quite the same

Well said 👍

But as a glass is half full and half empty at the same time we came to live and death is the inevitable result because everything ends, including life. But we all exist with that reality together. Perhaps the purpose of life is to find our happiness and to help others find theirs as well
