in my own sea of.....
Mishaps and Misunderstandings.
Sure you look fine on the outside,
Smiles and possessions which can be measured by worth
Although you accredit yourself with material
You don’t own your possessions
They own you.
Through money and time all things must end in this game of gratitude.
When will your time come?
For those who sit with gifts and treasures
A sense of greed blinds their view of what they have to be thankful for.
Money and time,
That’s all I seem to have going against me
But the pressure of the two is nauseating.
Sick to my stomach as I look at the statement
Thinking how did I not plan for life?
I’ve learned the hard way that yes,
Shit happens, and although my view is skewed,
Shit only seems to happen to me.
In many areas of life I bring it on myself.
Then comes some force of nature, who decides to wait until the time is right
To dump an unexpected load on me that nearly breaks me every time.
Just when recovery seems to be on the crest of the hill
It starts to rain with fury beyond belief.
I have taken the time to brush the dirt off my shoulders and not take “life” so harshly.
I’m sure this stuff happens to others, but in no way shape or form have I taken the time to look around at others and see for myself that it does happen.
Talk about Narcissism!
To wallow in self pity is the easy way out,
Acceptance is the next step,
Then just giving in to the fact that no, you don’t necessarily control your own destiny.
I just broke my own theory.
