If you look too hard for what you want,
Corners come into view that you hadn't noticed before.
Turns and bends that are never-ending,
monotonous in appearance and stifling in their size,
Impeding your hands as you reach for who you want to be.
Any semblance of tomorrow will only be fairy tales of a given breath,
I may only dream of who I shall meet there.
Smile bigger so that I can find you,
laugh harder so that I can hear you,
I fear that my progress takes me backwards to a mistake I've made a thousand times.
And that place is no more for me than I am for a million Never-Never lands not of my creation.
Grow weary of joy, my friends, and you shall discover what you are made of.
Tire of wanting more, and standing still may move the first handful of earth that will be your final resting place.
If you begin to worry that who you are will not keep you till your end,
Do not rest until well after the ones you love do not recognize the look in your eyes anymore.
Stay the battle of hope versus dread, arm yourself about your heart and mind,
Run not from what you desire most, only tread lightly when you approach it at last, for the ground will be shaky enough to rattle the strongest of us.
There is a place in your mind who pretends to be dormant,
A labrynth of dead-ends, you believe avoidance will keep you from it.
Without knowing your own dread, without living the worst day of your life, there will be no rainbow,
And you can never know the relief of going past it to peace.
My wish is for you all, that you may revel in the purity of forgiving yourself.
Realize the joy your smile brings to me, understand that when I am in fear of standing still, you move me, and keep me alive.

girl, you are so brilliant. you spell it out for us once again, telling the brutal truth with such a wonderfulness. you know, you became more than just a friend to me through your words... you became a symbol of strength in my frail life. you continue to give me inspiration with everything you write and say.
keep leaving me breathless sweetie.

This struck a cord with me-I was too teary to respond yesterday. I was having an emotional day anyway..and either way I needed it and you.
Your call made my day-you have no idea. My girlfriend heard the message and said "Sweetie, you're loved" :)
This is not the place, but I can't WAIT to hug you.
 
i have been wanting to reply to this little piece for days, but couldn't do it until now. This really hit me somewhere deep inside, you should feel so proud that you have that capability to do so, hit people like this...
when i read this the first few times i shed a tear...maybe a few tears b/c what is happening in my life right now. This seems to fit so perfectly. If i could put a collection of poetry and music that defines my life and the obstacles i face, and the emotion i feel this would be in that collection. Thanks dags, for writing something i so very much related too.

nice! sometimes our self proclaimed prgoress is actually avoidance and it leads us back to the beggining of the labrynthe we call lifes lessons. Dags i always quote at least one of your lines of poetry and for someone who has adhd thinking about a quote remembering it and actually taking the time to quote it takes alot of effort, that if you could not recognize it was a major compliment

Sounds very cyclical. Neither here nor there, i share the feeling that just as we're about to grasp something it slips from our clutching hands as we arrive back at square one. Or more appropriately, as we get cocky and feel we're about to grasp something, we get spanked by reality and return the simplest of life's lessons: humility. And humility is not something you pick up in a flash or flurry, it's more like a one day at a time deals. Something a little better grounded in reality than a lofty ideal.
Funny enough, on one of the worst days of my life, a terrible emotional earthquake a couple years ago with an ex of mine, i had a heartbreaking moment of solitary tenderness as i went to the deck of the ferry boat i was riding to give a symbolic f.u. to Marin county and one inhabitant in particular, and i was gripped by the sight of a magnificent rainbow on the morning bay water. A HUGE sign. I turned towards San Francisco and new it was time to begin a new chapter in my life.
