radio antennas.

isn't it unfair.


how you can live a decent, honest life,
and nothing seems to go your way.


the "bad" people fall into success,
find riches and power by mere happenstance.

you work hard everyday and barely make ends meet.
desperately trying to get your own life started,
when suddenly you're caught up in something,
which means giving up everything.

isn't it amazing.

how quickly things can change.
how things can go from a walk in a daydream,
to a collision course with regret.

how the face of someone you used to know,
can turn into someone you wouldn't even recognize.
finding truths in the voices of secret books.
uncovering the lies in the water lilies.

how the choices of your own life can be drastically changed by those of others.
a course of learning and progression, bowing down to the needs of others.
putting someone else before yourself.
forgetting yourself for awhile.

isn't it funny. 

that the people we hold most dear, are the ones we hurt the most.
that the walls will keep their secrets as you tip toe down the hall.

that living your secrets effect the rest of us.
no vaccine for your disease.
no antidote for the poison on your breath.

that sometimes the hardest things in the world,
can lead to times better than ever before.
they change like the seasons.
they change no matter how much we resist.

isn't it ironic. 

that the things that make us happiest can turn on us in the end.
biting the hand that feeds.
burning the bridge that leads you home.

feeling bad just because you got caught.
being upset because someone is better off without you.
that someone can be okay without you.
that happiness, means no more you.

that when it rains, it pours.
misery loves company.
karma is a bitch.

isn't it wonderful.

how lucky you are, even when all seems lost.
how much you have, when left with nothing.
that there is an ALWAYS in everything.

turning a corner may bring new opportunities never imagined.
when the lord closes a door, he opens a window.
that you will always win until you give up.

that someone knows how you feel.
things could always be worse.
that this will make you stronger,
no matter how much you'd rather things be easy.

now is never the time to fret about things in motion that cannot be stopped.
now is never the time to desperately search for a way out of the dark.
now is never the time to think about how horrible life can be.

now is the time to be grateful for the reflection in your mirror.
now is the time to embrace change and defeat it.
now is the time to become who you've always wanted to be.

a self excavation is in order.
dig.
find yourself.

isn't life a gift?


something bigger than you is happening.
something wonderful has been given to you.
never give up when life has you cornered.

"God places the heaviest burdens, on those who can carry it's weight."
-Reggie White

take a walk in someone else's shoes, before you write them off forever.
grasp the good in them and never let it go.
you're not spotless, and neither is he.
hate the sin.
not the sinner.
life, is to short to hold grudges.

isn't life somethin?
