Never will the understanding
Of all life's mysteries,
Rest within my chilled hands.
Cerebral,
Upheaval,
Body shaking,
Skin tingling.
The blood coarsing within my veins
Sings a song to an inaudible tune -
Humming echoes inside.
This is a feeling I will always remember.

Anew
Time seems so short when everything is right.
The world whirls by in a daze,
Spinning so fast clarity is an illusion.
Embracing this is redemption.
Knowledge gained and lost and gained once more,
I will hold onto life with my frail fingers -
To forget is to fall.
Fighting to make our own destiny,
The hope we hold within our hearts
Reminds us that happiness lies within.
New beginnings are what we make of it. The depression and anger follows from expectations that are too high to be lived up to. Life isn't perfect. I trip, I stumble, I fall. The ones that are there to pick you up make the imperfections fade. And even when you're left to pick yourself up, the strength you show within yourself should be enough to carry on.
After all, what's the point of living if all you accept is disappointment? Dwelling on this only makes it so much worse. I needed to remind myself of this.

Been So Long
It's funny how things like this fall away when things in your life start to turn up. I can't ever seem to continue to keep up with this thing when everything in my life is going right. It becomes a crutch in times of need...but it's something I enjoy so much it's sad it turns into that.
That being said, thanks to the wonderful Koogimama (Visit here!) I'm writing on here again. And things are wonderful.
Writing shouldn't just display the destruction, dismay and depression that follows me around like a cloud of smoke. Happiness is worth so much more, and presenting it makes it that much more real.
We always remember the negative much more vividly than the good. When things go downhill all that we held precious moments ago is discarded. That's not the life worth living.
Embrace what you have. Enjoy the life you live. Focus on preserving the happy in anyway you can, because once it's gone, those are the moments worth treasuring. After all is said and done, I want to say that I have lived the life I got with joy in my heart and the knowledge that I didn't just waste the time I was given.
It's funny how all it takes is a night in on the couch with someone worthwhile to remember that.
