Just Like Everyone Else

I am an individual
Just like everyone else

I have a plan
Just like everyone else

I think I can fix this
Just like everyone else

I have an opinion
Just like everyone else

But Mine Is Right
Just like everyone else

I THINK EVERYONE ELSE IS STUPID
Just like everyone else

i'm a failure
Just like everyone else

Ideas Differ
Emotions Run the Gambit
Love is the Answer

--------------


Ideas Differ

I occurred to me, as the wife was out of town for the weekend, that a needed piece of my life was missing. My wife and I would agree that we are complete opposites. On one level We have differing ideas, hobbies, interests. On a deeper tier though, we share something profound. Morally we are the same person.

Emotions Run the Gambit

We have always been the savior types, many times to our detriment. Between the two of us, we have rescued kittens and puppies, friends and family and more times than not it was for no benefit to us. In fact, it was usually more aggravation that it was worth. Internally though, in our hearts, it was the right thing to do. I say often that If I had $1 for every $100 owed to me, I could have a hell of a night out on the town, but I don't say it with anger. It's just part of who we are.

Love is the Answer

All through it though, we have love. Our family is a tight unit, able to go into battle together or just have a group hug, a heart felt hug, where My wife, two daughters and I can all leave with a smile on our face and a giggle in our heart, because it's real.

Life in the Sewer

All stand alone in a hazy film of contortion and abhoration
surrounded by the filth of what existence stains our psyche.
Murky waste, putrid stench and devalued individuals
tarnish the nobility and strength of those who endure.
What plan is there for the sanitation worker of life?
Only to clean the garbage and continue on
until the garbage you become.

A Poem

My mind was once a vehicle of knowledge
Firm and Inquiring
Now as life beckons
My mind is no longer required to work so hard
...
So now It doesn't.
