Essence

I cannot always be like a flower,
I have a lot of garbage as well.

  1. Ahhh, if only there was an in between, a place to balance the scale between extremes. I certainly don't have it figured out. So I get up, and try, and fall, and get up, and try again.

    I guess the best thing for me is to meditate on both the flower and garbage, and bless them both for teaching me something.

  4. This actually reminds me of Tupac Shakur. You should check out his book of poetry. Surprising from a rapper.

  5. Garbage only comes about when the weeds have their take on you. Refuse to believe you'd lost the power under their crunch.

    Sometimes I am probably more laughable, than loveable.

    But, that's a sad thought.

  9. And it takes a hefty dose of perceptiveness, spiced with self-awareness, to be able to utter such with composure, as you have done and uttered here. Thank you for sharing your wisdom. ^_^
