The Choice

The Choice

A Poem by luciddreamer

I could go to the docktor, rocktor,mocktor to get the meds

Prozac, Zoloft, the list just begins

Say I'm sorry for being myself,

Say,  yes I see the horizon on a blank sheet of paper

they try to show me

OR

I can embrace the insanity, not do things conventional ways

Live my life on a prayer, truly care about my fellow man

Stop burying my head in the sand...

 

Now time to choose

And did you find that when you embraced the insanity that, suddenly, quick as a cat, Conventional seemed trite, unreasonable, ridiculous?
Great work here, Robin.
I loathe ultimatums because they make me responsible for me. And this was a big one.
I called it Embracing the Chaos, actually. But we know it is the same thing, aye?
I am also going to go ahead and say this:
If a person wanted to really be moved by some 'holy spirit' or whatever, they should try embracing the insanity, at least for a moment.
See the blank sheet of paper this author has mentioned.
It's not easy, until you do it.
How long, Robin, did we struggle with cooperation and acceptable standards and so forth?
I felt pretty free one day when I saw a grouchy old man, bitching at his tenants, holding a plunger in his hand, and having a screwdriver in his back pocket.
I didn't feel sorry for him, I was kinda jealous actually......

Wow, we do all have tough choices to face, and drugs just cover what we so need to face, I always try to remember there are so many people worse off than I am......and it helps to remember a smile goes a long way..........loved this in it's truth and thought.
