"I resolve to get up go on the town / And never let the bastards get me down"


Poem Artwork

Resolution

All of the same difficulties remain
Which had vexed me so a few days ago
They have gone nowhere they are still right there
Where I left them where they had caused such pain
The difference is I no longer care
Having found my sense of humor again
By which to laugh at frustrated folly

If educated I am "elitist"
If I ask questions I am "defeatist"
Not idiotic? "Unpatriotic!"
They have found their problem and it is me

There is no logical explanation
Why I should feel such a jolly Chahlie
Except what my mother old-fashionedly
Referred to as "righteous indignation"

Which is simply another way to say
That I refuse to be dragged down today
To where their nattering inanities
Wheedling would lure me to degradation
But my faith in my friends and family
Life's virtues instead of its vanities
And my love for you will carry me through

I resolve to get up go on the town
And never let the bastards get me down

hey stevie, difficulties are things that exist outside ourselves. they are seemingly out of our control, except when we acknowledge them, it seems to give them energy to go on, even if for another day. however, that said, demons, are things that exist inside ourselves. they are entirely within our control. no if's, no and's, no but's. we make them go up and down on our carousel through life. so choose. you want them riding on the wooden horse next to you, so close, yet so far, never really being able to catch up? or would you rather see them standing on the side, watching you take the ride of your life without them?

peace and joy to you ~ sara

I agree Steve old pal, I pour my sadness out in my words when I need to but hold my spirits to the wind when I face the world. None of us are exempt from the way we feel but all of us has the ability to use our inner strength to rise above it.
