“If you could read my mind, love
Gordon Lightfoot – If you could read my mind
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
‘Bout a ghost from a wishing well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet
But stories always end
And if you read between the lines
You’ll know that I’m just trying to understand
The feelings that you lack”
Life’s not
That easy
They lie to us
From the screens
From the books
From their hearts
They’ve painted
Marketing version
Of our ideals
Making them
Into idols
Unrealistic
And unachievable
Granted
It’s what
They were probably believing
At the given moment
Life’s just ...
Life
Lively
Lustily
Lacrimal
Sometimes
And then lethargic
It can be
A beautiful
Source of wonders
Some plesures
A few moments of happines
But more of frustration
And shire desperation
Sometimes
And boredom
In plenty
C’est la vie
If you have a head
Like mine
Full of thoughts
Filled with unwanted
Emotions
And that
Persistent tension
Which comes back
And last
If untreated
If your brain
Is like
That Minotaur’s maze
Of chaotic
Corridors
Where every corner
We take
May spell
The hope of escape
Or another
Frantic
Race with the beast
If you have
What I have
And you’re tired
Of running
Away
Alone
Just hear that
You could do
With some help
Companionship
Od people
Who know
That labyrinth
Of life
A bit longer
And better
And who are willing
To explore it with you
Whenever you choose
Who will not run
In opposite direction
And hold your hand
Even in front of the monsters
The fellowship
Of shipwreck survivors
Who will teach you
How not to drawn
When your life's
Vessel
Is about
To capsize
And it is
Likely to sink
Sooner or later
I know you can
Swim
But how long
In the ocean of life
Full of sharks
Sensing
Just a tiny bit
Of our blood
Only a trace
Of hesitation.
Even thoughest
Of us need
Some help
Need people.
Who will offer
Some unconditional
Love
The world
Has not that much
In abundance
And may still
Be giving less…
Maybe
It does not yet
Seem necessary.
May it be (you think)
too early
Hope it's not
too late.
I hope for you
I have faith in you
And I ...
