“Blow Your Trumpet”
Before these eyelids close each night
You fill them with so much rain
What joy is there to gain?
Listening to echo sounds
Of pain deep within
What happiness does it bring?
I ain’t no puppet on a string
Nor am I a heartless thing
Your trumpet blow for war
As I walk out that door
All I ever hear from you
Are insults…more hollow dark words
From a tongue filled with flames
Joyful and free from any blames
But until end of times... hear my last request
Now you may close your eyes
And feel the rain
Blow your trumpet of war as much as you like
And see what joy there is to gain
When these eyelids close
To be free from pain

Hormones down there is prolly right..
that I'd like to tell you about, as you might be able to apply it to your personal life, is the concept of opportunity costs. When you apply the opportunity cost to your decisions, you take into consideration what it costs you to not do something, or what would be the cost paid, or saved, if you were to do something else. There are always opportunity costs. Hope that helps, great poem, as always.
Take care. ~ Sara
