Life is anything but stable.

         One day you're at the top then you're struggling in a new different way. It's just up to our character and soul to make some type consistency in this dirt, so consistent that when any challenge that passes through us either expected , unexpected, side ways, Fridays, that it won't matter , we'll get through it.

                         The only body we have to live in is ourselves. 

                                       

                                      Your body is a building. You're the super, you make space for who ever you want in your life. If they pay their rent on a reasonable time, they get closer to you and you trust them. There will always be problems in your building. Either is door problems, sink problems, cable problems , they will always come. 

                                            

                                           Having a perfect building in our lives is impossible 

                                                                                                    Is up to us, 

                                                                                                         to handle the

                                                                                                               problems 

                                                                                                     or let 'em handle us

I really liked how you compared a building with a person's own body, I hadn't even heard of a comparison like that and I think it is really creative and accurate. By reading your work I have really started to imagine how my building looks like, and how the people inside it behave. I think maybe I need a remodeling.
I really enjoyed it, but I just wanted to say that I would really liked it if you would make an example of a description of a room and it's colors to the situation in a person's life. That would be so awesome!!! Thanks a lot c:

[Noehm Strawhair]

I have to admit that the beginning was a bit weird, but overall it was good.

I agree with you close...it is up to us to handle our problems. I could get philosophical on you :) but I won't. Life is unstable, its up to you to figure out why and how to change that. I like the flow of this one, its much smoother than some of your other pieces. The message is solid and clear. I like your reference to buildings and bodies. Great job!

Is up to us,

or let 'em handle us

absolutely - these are words to live by.

Truly a comparison like none other! Bravo, darling! You did quite excellent! Though we do not know each other, I am proud of you and I love you very much, dear friend. God bless you, child.

cool write, I liked this verse a lot.. keep it up
" Is up to us,
to handle the
problems
or let 'em handle us"

Great write.....comparing a persons body to a building is a nice idea.No person like a building is perfect. It is with these imperfections that the world is made up of-- "having a perfect building is impssible/Is up to us/t o handle the/problems/or let'em handle us/".....very beautifully said.

Great use of metaphor! My building has had its share of problems! Some days I just wanted to demolish it, but I had renters counting on me. I almost lowered the rent, but it's in a good neighborhood, so why bring in the riff raff? LOL Enjoyed reading this piece.

Nice analogy. When you first went with "your body is a building" I was expecting skelaton of steel, etc but I like where you went with the superintendent.

Thought provoking write Jason, with an interesting comparison of man and building. This line is missing the word 'of' after "type" "some type consistency in this dirt" .

[Jack...]

How true is this? Like the old saying..."It's always something". But it is how we deal with that something that proves our merit in this thing called life. Very cool my friend.
