Foot & Mouth

Well here we are again people.

Foot in mouth again !

You know, I spend most of my life swinging from one position to the other !

Either I'm frustrated because I feel like I have no voice in this world which leaves me feeling cornered, caged, pointless as well as feeling like a coward for not having the courage to express myself.

or

If I finally do find the courage to express myself I always seem to offend someone which then sends me running for the shadows, tail between the legs and feeling guilty because I spoke up and offended someone. Once again I did it wrong !

I just don't get it most of the time sorry ! I just don't understand the rules and regulations to conversations and socialising.

I have come to the conclusion that I speak a different language than the rest of humanity.

All of this reminds me of a poem I came across many many years ago which I have always thought captured this perfectly, called ....

I know you

By Henry Rollins

Reflections

The Mirror Man


Who are you ?
Are you the one !
The one to change it all !
Are you the one that will dare to believe ?
That will dare to change !

Are you strong enough to stay the course,
When all will be at your back !
Can you see the dream ?
Can you hear his words ?
Can you taste the victory ?
Or do you smell the fear ?

Will you stare him down,
And stand your ground !
Will you put him in his place ?
Will you lead by example and do what’s right.
When all will tell you to do wrong !

Do you believe ?
In love at first sight.
Do you believe in fight or flight ?
Do you believe in cold winter days and hot summer night ?

Are you stronger then him,
The one that doesn’t believe !
The one that is scared !

Do you know who I am ?
