An Attempt

What I need to learn

To learn how to let go

To allow pleasure in the moment to enter, peacefully, and go, peacefully

 I will trip over rocks that aren't even there

To stop kicking a dead horse, and then coming back later hoping it lived through it

To learn that this is illogical in its essence 

 I will never leave the side of this body of a beautiful being I once knew 

To learn that sensation does not last forever

To allow the sensation to manifest in me at the moment, and accept that it is not permanent 

Pleasure will become pain, and pain sticks longer than pleasure 

To know how to let yourself heal

To stop blaming yourself for anothers' action

Begin to recognize your absence as their misfortune 

To find peace in the silence after belligerence 

To understand that we are all spiteful beings 

Notice that some are better at hiding their skeletons than others  

To love yourself

To be part of something greater

I will notice the beginning of pleasure that will never leave me tripping over rocks that aren't even there

" trip over rocks that aren't even there" ... this line rocks itself. very cleverly penned. furthermore, i just enjoyed reading this so philosophical verse. it's seemed more like a self-help poetry that keeps nurturing one's heart to get healed up.

last 3 lines're absolutely one of my damn fav. esp the line: "pleasure will become pain, and pain sticks longer than pleasure"... how true! may be, you're well experienced of such things people keep passing throu', perhaps, you also have got some hot knacks to nailed things down in such... poetic words. excellent!

yo!! Buffalo, NY, you got me, gal!! xoxo
