Funny Thing...

21 February 2012

I've come to find I don't know much.

I don't know Earth's axis of rotation.

I don't know the highest peak from the ocean floor.

I don't know the extent to which one can hate

without crumbling to the ground at bended knees.

I don't know how Mother Nature can love us children.

I don't know how a robot can provide more warmth than the human kind.

I don't know how a colony of ants can work more as a team

than an entire world of beings.

Actually, I do.

But I've found there's capability when there's will.

I know energy from our friction is able to run soley on our connection

rather than the endless tension.

What I've found is a blind man can see further

than the most advanced telescope.

I've come to find one can witness something far greater

than what a single microscope can see under the brightest light.

I know that people bite their tongue so hard,

so they won't have to swallow their pride.

I've seen the stars in the darkest sky get drowned out by the city lights.

I know that trust can outlive doubt,

and I know that silence can burn itself out .

I've learned that there cannot be a tomorrow

without a today.

I've come to find that there will never be a today

without letting go of yesterday.

I've found you don't cry when you understand.

I know words can lose their meaning

when you're just trying to stop the bleeding.

I know that when you finally put your walls down,

your mind can rest at ease.

I've come to find that your comfort zone is never fixed

and it's always worth expanding.

I know when you victimize yourself you're keeping yourself prisoner.

I know that love is the most elastic thing you could ever create,

and trust is the most fragile thing you could ever break.

I know when you finally allow yourself to feel the pain,

you'll never have to stop time in your mind again.

I know your eyes will remain closed

until you realize you're tired of hiding.

I know your knees will be locked in place

until you realize you're exhausted from running,

in place.

I know to reach the top of the highest ladder,

you have to be patient to take every step.

I know there's beauty in all that is "ugly".

I've found you cannot read other books

when you haven't yet closed the chapters on your own.

I've found that when you reread to no end,

it still doesn't change a thing.

I've found that you're never alone

in what you feel--because someone has already always been there before.

I know your heart and mind can be the best of friends,

if you simply allow it.

I've come to find you'll aimlessly feed what cannot be fed

until you find peace within.

I know the fight is never over

when you're the one standing in the other corner.

I've found the answers to many questions

lie in questions you haven't gotten the strength to even ask yourself.

...yet.

I've seen the firmest roots starve from lack of nutrition.

I know the most securest bond can unravel from lack of consideration.

I've come to find the heart that beats the fastest is the most dangerous,

And whatever--whoever can make it happen is the source of all adrenaline.

I know that to let yourself be heard, you have to listen.

I know to reach Point B is to recognize it's not a destination.

I've found Point B to be growth--

another viewpoint to be seen different from that of Point A thru Point Z.

I know it's impossible to speak if you can't think for yourself.

I know it's impossible to dream if you can't wake up.

I know it's difficult to breathe if you're not standing up,

for something.

I know it's difficult to take the leap when you're already at ground zero.

And, I know it's easier to be confronted than it is to confront.

I know it's easier to keep your word than it is to fall back on it,

for some.

I've found it's easier to learn on your own than be taught the lesson.

I've found it's so easy when you-really-want-to.

I've come to find it's too easy NOT to.
