there are those who around me
surely we're not of the same type
from asylums they musta been freed
spouting nonsensical words through bong pipes
I've given up understanding them
they think of me un-cool
I think they've embalmed their brain stems
totally misrepresenting words of drool
while I am far from being "square"
I've done things that should've made me dead
stopped me from breathing precious air
but through it all I kept my sanity thread
I think, therefore . . .
I hope, and I see tomorrow
I'm in sync with all that I am
I can cope, period

Ha, makes one think what might happen if science continues with 'stem cell' research and one of these gets mixed in with the batch. Hey, this could be the beginnings for a great Sify adventure!

Anyways, some good coping here! Enjoyed!

Grinning and agreeing, Ms. E. In my opinion, understanding yourself is a priority for coping. Sometimes it takes us a long time to understand ourselves. t took me decades, but it is well worth the trip to finally arrive a peace within yourself. Thank you, Ms. E, I always enjoy your input.
