Seizure
I’ve been dancing forever
Spinning, spinning in circles
My mind turning, churning
Drawn ever closer to the flame, the fire burning ever more bright
Can’t you see, see the light
It’s heavy, heady in my eye
But I, I only got one night
I want to slow down, this ride, it just won’t end
I’m going to puke, pull over at the bend
Strobe lights flashing, ebbing flow
Yellow haze, blackness, people go
I awake later in a daze
Back to normal but in a fright.

Don’t Have a Clue
I cannot remain in this depressed state.
Once I believed in the hands of fate.
But lately it all just seems so wrong.
I feel like no matter what, I don’t belong.
Anywhere I try to fit,
Why do you all expect such per-fec-tion?
I’m only me, God’s lowly creation.
I haven’t even begun to live,
Without the confines and pre-requisites�� which you give.
Don’t you see?
It’s all an illusion…
Brought about by a human drive…
I am not she…
Nor will I ever be.
I am ME.

My thoughts on ‘The Interview’
Everyone really ought to watch The Interview, not for the obvious message, which is comical in nature, but for the deeper message. Satire has been used historically by comedians not just for comic relief, but to show the problems that are inherent in the system, such as Monty Python’s films that depict oppression of the common man by leaders who have no empathy or compassion for them. Indeed, these leaders keep their people down by psychological means as well as financial. So if you watch this film, remember there is more to it than meets the eye and that is why North Korea is so angry.
N. Korea Blames U.S. for Internet Shutdown, Hurls Racist Comment Toward Obama
By the way, I loved the Eminem jokes and the Lord of the Ring content. No spoilers other than that.
Now for something funny:

Watch “Sam Smith – Nirvana (Acoustic)” on YouTube
Sam Smith – Nirvana (Acoustic): http://youtu.be/p_OvashuS7Q
This moment has caused a reattachment…
I feel like I’m floating…
A cliff looms near,
Waves crash beneath.
A storm is coming.
Take me to nirvana…

If Love Now Reigned
If Love Now Reigned
You would be here now
If only the world loved one another
Your goodness and grace could have withstood anything
When you went, our hearts cried
The Heavens opened and the floodgates of my eyes broke
Parts of me died
Left behind
If Love Now Reigned
The Light would swallow up the dark
No more heart ache
No missing you
If love now reigned
The word lonely would be obsolete
If love now reigned
We would be complete
Now not healed
Yet no longer broken
I am okay day to day
But I get emotional
Full sore at the mention of your name
The heartache it subsides sometimes
But nothing ever really stops the pain…
If Love Now Reigned
Love would swallow all the hate
No more would we ever have to love in vain…
Never would we hide our tears…
Hide our tears…
If only love now reigned…
For Joni, I love you and miss you, on your 44th birthday. You are sorely missed. Love always, your sister, Violet Yates
