Struggle
“Come on, already!”
Chasing Payments
“Feck!”
Growing Beyond
“When love is unrequieted, one must remake oneself to recover from demise.”
Buff
“I’m still working on reconnecting with my body, but it seems that I am pulling in mass in exchange from wherever those parts of me bamfed off into.”
Blurring
She has the audacity
To keep enduring
But trialed struggles
Keep burdening
By similar cycles
A life churning
Desperate to stop
Whirlwinds spinning
Her like a top
Until she drops
Disheartened
Full stop
Plan Z
“Because the rest of the alphabet imploded.”
(Light Through The Leaves – MYRNE)
This is so beautifully designed and orchestrated with unveiling, delightful surprises!
The Intervention
“I remember asking to be helped, to be set free – and got disrupted, spaces propelled from my body into another parallel unuverse.
I keep trying to call them back to me, but they are stuck – and trying to keep going forward brings pain and gasping without their being retrieved.
Tensing, I can’t help but keep cycling between attempting to rest and renewed struggling.
Am I supposed to just lean back and let arms wrap around me from where my pieces have gone to?
If I cannot call them back, maybe they will claim me – and pull me into where they’ve been propelled to.
Maybe there could be a better life for me.
I keep feeling something, somewhere calling…”
Lost In Space
Although people might gravitate
To cheer and speaking candidly
Our deep ingrained protections can
Lock down hard on the hind brain
One minute making progress then
The next turned tail and fleeing
We’ve only learned so much ’til now
And trust is still quite fleeting
Solo Road
“It often seems I do not fit with mainstream common vibing.
On individual paths is where the best are sure to find me.”
Penalized
“For having and voicing needs.”
Bucking Saddles
“Choosing any course of action requires tasks of followthrough, and I find that certain modes conscript central aspects of my core personality that are just too darn tired of getting pushed around and forced into workhorse drudgery.”
(Rain – Sleep Token, Lyric Video)
Entropy
‘Seems to constantly engage.”
They Say
“You’ve got to love yourself before you can love someone else.
But when you’ve already been doing so, this phrase is just a cop out.
There’s no real explanation why one continues to then be alone.
It’s just about making the best of it.”
I Don’t Feel Right
“And I’m not sure what it’s going to take to feel right.”
The Chop
“I keep dodging uppercuts – but it sucks when they’re swingin’!”
(Difficult To Love – Elderbrook, Nu Aspect Remix)
Underlying Truths
Reactionary Beings
“The mask struggles to not come off as my mind works it loose – and the pathway from brain to mouth natural instinct instant response is still compromised.”
(Maze Of Memories – Lynnic, ItsDarius, & Dinia)
It’s Pretty Funny
“Actually, none of this is pretty, nor funny, and just keeps tripping the cortisol.”
And Around We Go!
“A bill that had been granted a three week extension defaulted two weeks early, reactivating autowithdrawal without my permission, reoverdrafting my account – and now its and following overdraft charges for other normal small bills no longer covered by my before meager balance (sucked away by this bill) accumulate.
Weeeeee!”
Benefits Of Isolationism
“Nobody startles or jumps when I suddenly cry out in pain from an injured mistep.”
Help! Lol (Take It To The Limit – Eagles)
OMG – Nooooo!
“‘Seniors aged fifty-blah-blah-blah and higher…’ goes the commercial, showing ladies barely lifting their arms while doing slow dance moves in their gray-haired, osteoporosis late-staged retirement…
But, ‘I’m not dead, yet!'”
(Last quote is Monty Python)
(Dance Monkey – Elderbrook, Tones And I Cover, Live @ SiriusXM)
Elderbrook has such a classy groove style. Isn’t that a dancing monkey toy rhythm interwoven into this piece? Pure creative subtle genius.
Mystery Penalties
“It shouldn’t be this difficult to get the banks working smoothly.”
Psychological Load
“Sometimes, it’s just too much to try to overcome.”
(Time – The Alan Parsons Project)
Feck!
Mischief managed for the moment!
Maybe Unlikely
“Maybe if I didn’t try to keep growing and doing things, the disrupting chaos would not find me.
But, somehow, I find this unlikely.”
(Telephone Line – ELO)

The nice, empty quiet of solitude, sucking at senses for attention while trying to be productive.
It’s Funny
