I took a visit to an old pub that I used to frequent in the past Millennium. One reason I am in town is to visit an old friend who also used to go to this pub, but my visit to him is because he is in hospital in a state where communication is impossible. Pete overdid things, we all overdid things.
There was nobody in the pub except for a few… Read more

An amazing song from Dax about depression. Heres to the artists that go the extra mile to connect with other humans through their words and reflections. Would love to do a podcast with this guy around music and mental well being.

I wrote the song lyrics to this out in a psychology finals paper at University and still passed.

Falling to Pieces – Faith No More

Back and forth, I sway with the wind
Resolution slips away again
Right through my fingers, back into my heart
Where it’s out of reach and it’s in the dark

Sometimes I think I’m blind
Or I may be just paralyzed
Because…

Anxious

Tension aches. My jaw,

my teeth grinding hard.

Chest tight as a drum. And breathe…

One from me, I can’t remember where I first read this but I find it reassuring and the Desiderata reminded me of it.

Lost
by David Wagoner

Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest…

I Am Not Seeking Validation

In quiet spaces
I seek not the echos of applause,
Nor the mirrored reflection of others’ approval.
I find peace in the truth of my own being,
Untraced by others eyes.

I am tethered to the inner light,
That glows unmarred by fleeting praise.
To be seen and valued, a gentle desire,
But not the cornerstone of my worth.

I dance…

Well, I had to kick this group off with Hi Ren. I find this song incredibly powerful. If you have not heard it yet, give it a listen and let us know what you think.

I tend to write long ranty poems, but sometimes short and sweet is good.

Apprently , if you flipped a coin every second since the Big Bang, you’d still be nowhere near the number of possible shuffles.

In a distorted world,
I am a question mark
on the edge of the unmade.
Sometimes, I don’t even see myself

A ghost.. ….wandering
past the subjective reflections
of your eyes and mind
Stuck in an evolving prism
An echo of self still seeking,
Seeking, shifting synapses
An organic riddle

Am I just a whispered fragment?
A distant star exploded?
And bought back…

A poem I wrote and turned to a song about overwhelm paralysis and losing energy and focus. I believe it is quite common these days 🙂
