Shining light that I can’t see
Bending thoughts out into colors,
Like a painter’s lucid dream

Sat within
my mental office
Working to be free
From their prison
of a prism
That they used
to programe me!

Some days I feel like screaming
Damn these limitations
Can someone slow my fall?
When I keep looking at the wrong things
And Feel…

We lose connection with others and ourselves and that is where things have a tendency to fall apart I think. If we find purpose in seeking balance it can I think really help us forward in good directions rather than being blown by the winds.

Falling to Pieces – Faith No More

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
