NOTE: not very good.  I just miss posting


A new Perspective...

Close your eyes...
    Release yourself from the fantasy
        that society has created
    Separate yourself from everything
        you've believed and debated

Now open them...
    See a new world,
        and all it's simplicity
    Evaluate your existence,
        and marvel it's complexity

Free your mind...
    Take a deep breath,
        and remember who you are,
    not who you were
        or what you've been so far

Close your eyes
Now open them
Free your mind
Get a new perspective



"""
Maybe it's stupid
Maybe it's nothing
Maybe this something... just wont go away
..
I'm not a liar
I'm not a sinner
I'm just trying... not to get thrown away
"""
Full Devil Jacket

Haha!  When I read this in my mind, it was to the voice from "The Outer Limits."  Very cool!  
Thanks for the post, Jason.  I miss you too!

Haha.. when it said "Close your eyes" I actually did it and then remembered that they need to be open for me to read... hehe.  I don't think that's something I should be admitting...
Anyway, this poem is very creative.  You did a nice job.  It's good for you to be posting again

see, i considered "actually" closing my eyes and then attempting to read the rest of the poem but then i realized, that's something marie would do, and i stopped myself.  this is a really great poem, i didn't think it was bad at all and i'm certainly glad you decided to post something again.  i hope you keep posting your work.  oh, and marie, umm... you know i love you sweetie...  

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

Allan - haha... actually I had the same type of voice in mind when I wrote it.  I'm thinking about doing some writting again so you might see me around a little more once I get in the swing of things.

Marie ~ hehe... I knew someone would do that... infact when I wrote it I thought gee this is stupid... haha thanks for reading

banburycross ~ lol, you crack me up.  I'm really happy that you liked it.

Regina ~ of course I miss ya!!!    like I was saying hopefully I'll be back a little more in the near future.

Thanks again every one

I read it in the voice of a midget.....you know....just to get a new perspective.
Well done Jason....

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

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
