Happiness is just a game
Just an emotion of chance
A habitual tease to many of us
The rare few lucky to have it last

It teeters in your psychi
On the edge of elation and pain
It baits the most defensive nature
With no promise of euphoria gained

The risk is allowing this joy
with knowing that it comes with hurt
The secret is in the knowing
which bliss is worth the work.

I chose my bliss, and I accept the downfalls and loses that go with it.

Those that truly know and accept me, accept my bliss, too.

I’m happy

And – I like pie ;)

    Ah Jimmy – I knew you’d appreciate those words. They were written with a few people in mind. Mainly, and selfishly, they are about me, but also about a few folks that I know and once knew :)

    Si – All the cake and pies, all at once :lol:

    I was thinking I was the lucky one with all these wonderful words, stories, poems. Can’t imagine what strong thoughts cross your mind. Sadly, my thoughts remain in the visual context, and with you, clearly pictures you as a wonderful person. :)

  13. iKirst says:

    Visually can be just as complex as mentally.
    Portraying those visions so that they are just as you see them is possibly harder than words to convey…
    You do just fine :)

  14. Darkness says:

    everyone has strong thoughts. Possible difference is how they are interpreted.

    example: photos. you see: sharpness, clarity, composition. I see: a picture I either like or don’t.

    Really depends where you’re focus is.
