Have you ever been there?
Weaved into a dream
Didn't even seem you belong
But nonchalantly you walk along
Wishing for the center, but yet caught on
the outside,
Have you ever felt alone?
Yet in the crowd, like your part of
Some perfection, but you are the piece
that makes inperfection
Wishing to smile, but only the smile
Is a frown no deception seen, no one
even watching,
Have you ever been there?
Wanting to turn back,
Never return,
But must keep going forward
And only feel the push from behind,
No one even realizes the effort
That it takes, each step by step
For some it comes to easy,
For me I feel as if my legs are crumpling
underneath, falling,
Why do I persist when all I want is to resist
Have you ever been there?
Sometimes the mountain top is way to high
So all I strive for is the hill,
Have you ever been there?

Yes and when you go hiking you realize that the mountain top will present quite a challenge but the view is glorious...James

Definitely agreeing with what Ron said...

fortunately we have legs that can get us up those mountains...

The wind shifts like this:
Like a human without illusions...
This is how the wind shifts:
Like a human, heavy and heavy,
Who does not care.

thanks your right but those legs get awfully heavy sometimes, but still the strive forward is the only way to go, even if your not always carrying a grin on your face, because it's the end result that's worth the journey.

Thats the way to keep a positive attitude! I like how you are keeping a forward path. Keep going, my prayers are with you!



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

thank you Dopey, as we all know sometimes it's a very hard road we travel, but hey at least we do have that road and not some beaten up path.
