A Mystery Picture

sillytheclown lets feelings fester,
don't be a clown, become a jester,
the difference is subtle,
it's what's at the core,
a gentle rebuttal,
don't slide any more.

at the centre is you,
you know who you are,
outsiders, a few,
get a glimpse from afar,
but the centre is strong,
and strengthening still,
life's furnace burns hot,
and you're ground in the mill.

Don't let the bastards get you down, no matter what else is taken from you, they can't take your soul.
 
Welcome to Lit, Oobly! I like your poem!

STC, thanks for your interpretation of my blurry photo. I'll see if I can find the unblurry one.

nice guys finish last, most of the time is being used over and over that last, never see the real things going by, never catching it until its past time, nice guys can't say no, don't realize how much others don't try, never asking for anything in return, Drama queens come and go, they dump you when they got what they need, its a happening over and over, there is no need to expect anything less, you don't need to ever guess, empty and hollow words, its all you will ever hear, used by xxxx amount of people, and it doesn't change and it never will, do good people exist, is it fantasy and a myth, at times this seems to be so, hopeless and never letting go, romance is dead its only the memory in my head, never understanding the purpose other people present, giving up seems better yet, being used is bad enough, lip service makes it worse, empty promises, empty life, everyones using other peoples dimes, forgotten and alone, the good person never gets to bloom, just wilting over and over.
 
Boundaries seemed foolish at first, the 'no' a rejection of friendship, but the wall created structure that allowed me to sustain myself, to keep for myself those things I need, and not plant seeds of resentment, wild weeds that bloom everywhere.

Am I a nice guy if I sacrifice myself? Am I nice to me? I must first serve the needs of my own heart before I can ever offer it to others. Am I a nice guy if I offer, only expecting a quid pro quo? Do I know that acts of selflessness are lies?

I reject, so feel rejection. I separate, so feel separation. I isolate, so feel isolation.

I look in the mirror, into the eyes of he I see, and love the child there, the man that has grown up around him. I forgive him his mistakes, and acknowledge his strengths. I see him as whole, perfect, and complete. Fulfilled, without need. Only then can love bloom, and push out the weeds.
 
hey Flow,

like what you wrote, i just can't get into it.


I would much rather be dead then alive. Its hard to explain. I do a decent job at times. I have had to many people that don't get it. They promise what they can't deliver, they say what they don't mean. I would rather be alone then lied to. I try to be genuine, i try to do the right thing. Its not working, an i won't/can't change.

Hurting inside is much worse then any physical pain i could ever go through. I am not sure what my future holds. Not sure i really care at this point. People need to get what they do effects others. Simple or not.

Suicide isn't in the plan, but it doesn't seem wrong. Death is just a new beginning, why fear what will happen someday.

I blocked many people on my yahoo. left facebook, and most likely will only check this thread from time to time on Lit. I am tired of fake people, with fake agendas, and when you say something you get roasted. I am not the one living a lie, yet its all on me. Got to love being the insane one.


peace Flow, and know that i respect you for you, your great mind, and your wonderful talent. That doesn't even come close to the friendship i feel with you. Thank you for that.
 
STC, if you read this please know that I'm probably the easiest person to reach out to, if you want to. I'm not promising anything, lest I can't fulfill it later. I'll just say that I appreciate and value you, and hope that you find peace, and relief from the pain your feeling.
 
Some new photos

Here's some photos I took on a recent nature walk:

You have bunnies as pets! They're so adorable!!!

I really like this pic, though, because it is clearly interacting with you.

Thanks so much for sharing them! Now I'll have to dig up some bunny pix!

That run was just while the got used to the garden, now the have all the garden & their own shed :D
 
Well, I've not been able to locate any bunny pix yet but, in the mean time, I thought I'd share one of my favorite shots of our pets.

This photo was taken on the day we brought this young cat home from the pound. Our dog was being so sweet, and trying to make friends.

Aww......That's so cute!! :D
 
Finally, some shots of the nearby refinery, etc

For ages and ages, I've wanted to photograph a nearby refinery. It looks very old, and well worn. It has always held a certain appeal for my artistic eye.

Anyway, I finally went over there yesterday and took a few shots. Here they are:

For my trouble, I got stopped and questioned by the cops. :eek:
 
Thanks so much, Heidi! I wish I had a model as pretty as you!
 
My wife is gorgeous, but she doesn't feel comfortable posing nude. One of the down-sides of being married to a teacher.
