.... Never Again

On my way to bed last night - after finding this image I had these words fall through my  mind ... haven't had that happen in quite some time really ... 
 
 
 

 
 
I've lost something precious 

 I've lost something rare 

nothing I do will return it from there .... 

first there's the flash 

then comes the bang ... 

then silent 

the song 

the darkness it sang ...

standing here helpless 

drenched in the rain ...  
 
it's empty
 
this place 

called never again ...

I'm Not Ok - You're Not Ok




Let me repeat that: I'm not O.K. - You're not O.K. - And that is O.K.

Now ... all I need to do is convince myself of that.

Not that you're not being okay is okay so much that my not being okay is okay. Because I know it is - doesn't mean you do. And why does what you think matter?

Depends on who you are I guess ;-). There are those that read this whose opinion matters to me a great deal. Most of you, not so much. Nothing personal - but I don't know you and, frankly, I am not stupid enough to think that I need the good opinion of the world to be okay. I don't even really need the opinion of those that matter to be okay - but ...


it's so much harder when they matter - isn't it?

It’s been over a year since I first started this post … and the irony is that the reason for it beginning seems to have ended as I begin it again. Can’t help but wonder if I had actually done what I had set out to do here – maybe things would have turned out differently. Guess I’ll never know aye?
