Life....

Reacting is a short sided reflex drawn upon basic blind instinct, while responding is a calculated and planned course of action that requires us to be an active part of our universe.

Sometimes

Sometimes the moon cries out to me to reach up and grab it

Sometimes, I share it's tears because it's too far away

Sometimes I scream at the sun to come play

Sometimes, the light it sheds makes me want to stab it

Sometimes I run and run and run to forget everything

Sometimes, it all rushes back in to slow me to a crawl

Sometimes I feel like these words are useless drawl

Sometimes, I want to shout out these thoughts till I begin to sing

Sometimes I feel like the most powerful being alive

Sometimes, I feel like my bones are crumbling

Sometimes the pain from the past is causing my stumbling

Sometimes, the happiness inside is causing me to thrive

Sometimes I want to start it all again

Sometimes, I wouldn't even trade in one moment

Sometimes I walk this Earth like I own it

Sometimes, it feels like I don't have a friend

Sometimes I look in the mirror for clarity

Sometimes, it offers only the truth

Sometimes I reach out my hand for charity

Sometimes, I put all my talents to use

But only sometimes.....
