The Fool..?

Am I a bloody fool
To think that life is what it is,
Full of love and hate,
Pleasure and pain,
Ups and downs?
We might take a punch and recover,
Perhaps more than once?
Sometimes we take a punch,
Then another and another.
And when it hurts,
More so, it hurts so much,
Not just in the real sense
But also flooding the mind.
When our worst fears are realised,
Where the shadows creep,
Yes of course we cry,
We scream and we ask why?
Life IS what it is
And I treasure each moment,
Because I care for those I love
And hope for the better.
And from each breath I draw strength,
To shun the c-word,
To live life to the full,
To share moments
Not taken for granted
But appreciated, nurtured and loved.

Am I a bloody fool?
Yes I bloody am!
And no I bloody ain't!!!

Cold

Let the days be cold... I wouldn't mind. For in the cold you see the birth, Of a mind clear and true. Cry in your sorrow, Don't keep it in. Let it flow, Let your head spin.

Feelings

Sometimes we're happy. Sometimes we're sad. Maybe do good things. Some even real bad. The heart it will break. Like something you peel. Just keep your head up. You'll feel it self heal.

blank.

I know what sadness is. I know how it is to be hurt, I know all of the worst nightmares. I know so many painful things nor will I ever forget them.

It takes a whole lot of us to get ahead, to wake up everyday not thinking of the past, to realize that what we are doing is absolutely the right thing..

Regrets

We are allowed to have minor regrets in our lives, like why did we buy another pair of shoes, or why we ordered the large coke.

Two Possible Ways

There are two possible ways, ways we bank all our worry's and goals, and another place where we feel. In our mind, we bank so much in. We bank loads in because things are being said.

Then & Now

I hear the train pass by again. Slowly I fall back into memories of then. Of all the things full of sin. And how I let it all seep in. I thank the powers for making this so.

I thought that but didn't want to comment as such. This is a very honest and accurate write then. My heart goes out to you a d your family and I hope the results are in your favour. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ˜ž

@eddie12309 Just to say my partner's mum recently diagnosed with a tumour and just today we've learnt it is cancer but caught early enough for successful treatment... Such a long wait but a tremendous relief... ๐Ÿ˜†

That's good news. And albeit still difficult for you and your partner, still a relief. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’š
