I wish that it were that easy. If it were, I would not need the crutches to stumble on my way. I wish I could delete deformity--I wish deformity were not a reality. I wish I could read Hallmark cards everyday. Without a snicker.

I wish I could write the colors of rainbows, drawing every reader in to intensity of color, becoming one with sky and water, sunset and sand reflections...I wish life were that easy.

I wish I didn't have to dredge a cesspool to find the treasures of my life. I wish the better things in life afloat---and that I had no need for a long-necked net, and the determination of a junkman in salvage of one life. I wish I had no need to trade my knife in for a gun. Most of all, I wish that I were the only one that ever felt this pain.

Although sometimes I feel that way, I know it isn't true. It was too crowded on this path for me to ask for sympathy of victim--and I'd rather ask for nothing, knowing that even nothing is not priced free.

I would love the guidance of guru--all my questions answered for me, without the calisthenics of thought, and all removal of the "me" from me.

Maybe THAT is the eternal quest--perhaps that is the freedom promised by death--that the drunken monkey of the mind be forever still, and to hell with questions left behind.

I just don't know...I never will. And there is part of me that says, "what the hell?"--and another buys insurance.

A small rant, but good nonetheless. If you remove 'you' from you, then you wouldn't be the unique individual that you are!

Wow.

uh... nice thoughts. Your imagery was beautiful. I really enjoyed reading it.

On a more important note, I personally don't suggest remving the 'you' from you, because if you did that, all that would be left would be contained between the following parenthesis - (  ).

Nothing. Unless of course, to you, that would be preferable to what you are. I don't know anything about you, or your situation, so I can't say.

Finally, I just wanted to say that even though I don't know you, I've read your writing, and your replies to other writing, and if you disappeared, I would not be thrilled...  

Hmm... do you think I rambled? That was very long...
