how hard it is..

[loveischemicals]

Do you know what it is like?
what it is REALLY like
to wake up in this world and truly feel
and wonder and say to yourself things:
"My world is different,"
but then, is it? What are you? Am I?
I am that leaf on a tree, I glisten
but the sun shines off me,
and where am I?

That dirt
That tattoo
that song
that bird
those children
that wild, intangible
the way a beautiful girl smiles
or plays with her hair
my world is comprised of these.

So I smoke, I don't even sit,
I smile and I laugh at the inane
the battle on the television
the babble of the news,
my horrible, petrified feelings:
feelings of war, lust, greed;
gay pride parades and preachers screaming,
"OFF WITH THEIR HEADS! INDECENT
EXPOSEURE, CHILDREN, THE BIBLE!"
Then I listen to rock or rap music and fall alseep --
in the mainstream,
we are the main-stream.

SO, BE FAITHFUL. YEILD TO TEMPTATION
BUT YET SUBSIDE IN IT, SUBMERGE YOURSELF
AND SUBMIT TO THE ULTIMATE GOAL
THE "INTANGIBLE FEELING" WHERE YOU ARE BLOWN AWAY
BY A BEAUTIFUL NIGHT, IN THE CITY, ON A BEACH,
IN THE SKY, FLYING AROUND AT INCOMPREHENSIBLE HEIGHT.
BE WHAT YOU ARE AND ALWAYS BE WHO YOU MUST BE.

Much love and feeling, always,
-RBM.
