Surprises
Some awful
Some awesome
These acts that leave me momentarily speechless.
We can spend or lives spinning our wheels.
All of the 'what ifs' and 'if onlys' filling our minds.
Only to find that the excitement,or the fret that has been consuming us was all for not.
I have,on many occasion,found myself running through an entire conversation in my head , my side and the response, my retort and theirs. Working myself into a frenzy based on an 'imaginary' conversation. In some cases I have even talked myself out of having a conversation with others regarding something of importance, urgency, or that I am extremely passionate about merely because the imagined conversation had such a horrible outcome. How silly is that. How selfish as well. I've decided to make a conscious effort not to predict the outcome but to take it all in stride. I will no longer avoid the uncomfortable just to protect myself from the truly unforeseeable. Open and honest communication without expectation, hmm what a novel idea.

Human beings are intriguing creatures
I am mesmerized by the human brain, the thought process of each and every one of us is different in some way shape or form. Some slightly different, some completely different.
The ways that we react to any given situation can depend on many different variables. Some of these are, the mood we are in when a situation arises, the preconceived notions we may have of the situation or of the people themselves that are involved in the situation ,and our own perception of the situation. Any or all of these areas can have an impact on the way we react to situations that require our attention or response. When there are multiple people involved the reactions of others can also have an impact. We are all very complex although we can seem simple, or naive on the outside we all have perplex minds that can be very challenging to understand.
What's inside your brain? My mind wants to know.

Misery (3 word Wednesday )
3 Word Wednesday
(Misery hollow shallow)
Misery loves company
You grip with talons
Piercing my thin skin
With your shallow ways
You care not that you have caused me pain.
To your surprise, as you rip me to shreds trying to get to the heart of me, I am hollow.
Jokes on you
You shall not bring me into your misery today.

Dumbfounded
Dumbfounded
Slip through the cracks
Too much work
Not enough time to commit
Not enough heart to care
The public school system has become a vortex
I stand in awe today at decisions made, out of my control that though we are a much more advanced society than we were when I attended school, the courses of action have become obscenely aggressive. I understand a no tolerance policy for weapons, a no tolerance policy for bullying, a no tolerance policy for abusive behavior, but a no tolerance policy for poor grades? Really? So the public school systems answer to academic struggle is to not recommend tutoring or after school programs, or any plans to get a struggling child back on track, or even to recommend outside help in addition to regular attendance of their school. Nope. Their answer is to force the parents to withdrawal the child from school to attend class elsewhere... Needless to say if this is the way that a struggling child is treated, someone whom is intelligent, thoughtful,respectful,and full of heart is treated by their public school then honestly I'd much rather said child not be attending such an irreverent school. There is a good outcome to this situation as there are wonderful charter schools available that offer soooo much more. However in the midst of this unfortunate turn of events there is a child that was not given a voice, not given an option, not given a choice in his academic future , was blindsided by the only academic system he has known, and was left without even the opportunity to say goodbye to classmates,or teachers , within 1 hour everything he knew to be, all that was safe in his academic world was flipped upside down , that part I am truly heartbroken about. Absolutely dumbfounded.

Bewildered
We grew
You beat
Us like shit
You did treat
Violently maddening
Heart cold and saddening
Love hate
Love hate
Crazy
The need for your love becomes hazy
Your ill
We cannot ever hurt you
Your ill
We can never dessert you
We've long since grown
Yet I still feel overthrown
With your cunning nature you do deceive me
So strong and stubborn at times
Yet week,meek, wounded at others
My compassionate heart falls prey to your twisted ways and once again, just as I begin to feel like your loved and trusted child, you strike, no longer with the fist but now through the mind
My defenses will strengthen with time
Sad but true
To this day
I'm still angry with you.

Tic Toc
Tic tock
Tic tock
The time goes by
Tic tock
Tic tock
How time does fly
It's like an hour glass with a large hole instead of a tiny one.
The sand pours through
It leaves you behind
Until you realize that it's almost gone
Then your thrust forward through the hole
Sifting through the sands to see what you have missed.
How does this happen?
Where DOES the time go?
You can't stop it or go in reverse, trust me I've tried.
You just keep going forward as time goes on by. So hold on to the memories treasure the moments. Make the most of every one , live life to it's fullest and love with ALL of your heart. Don't let the time you have left be for not. Because when it comes right down to it, you can't ever get those moments back.

Twist
Twist
Falling down going up the down inside the out trying to stay dry in the wet.
Back story,
My brother and I had many opportunities growing up to run down the up escalators and up the down, we were having conversation of this today, and I said that I liked going down the up rather than up the down because I always fell down the up the down... Which began this twisted thought process, enjoy;)
