Quote of the Day

And the wild regrets, and the bloody sweats,
None knew so well as I:
For he who lives more lives than one
More deaths than one must die.

Oscar Wilde, The Ballad of Reading Gaol

The Trouble With Pathology

The trouble with pathology, I realized
Blowing smoke over the balcony one night
The Atlantic wind whipping east to west
Palm trees waving to the sky.

The trouble with pathology is-
Self-awareness is the genesis of confusion.
The tea cup puppies at the store
Wait to be taken home by anyone.

And how does it ever end?
In the dawn that breaks in my eyes.
When I know that I hate you more
Than I hate being alone.

You are not the captain of this pirate ship.
I am not the Indian princess
But I stand at the end of your plank, knowing
It’s safer in the ocean, and jump.

Now there is nothing else to do but close the book.
My manipulations folded neatly on the table,
And begin to write my own story.

"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly." - Henri Bergson

Quote of the Day

"I know nobody likes me. Why do we have to have a holiday season to emphasize it?"- Charlie Brown, from Charlie Brown Christmas

When the world says, "Give up," Hope whispers, "Try it one more time." ~Author Unknown
