When Reality Hits

When the fun is over
Are you ready to return
To that what is
Reality that hits very firm

Hopefully when it does
You'll know what to do
Have a contingency plan
So no difficult situations to mull

When the roller coaster
Hits its halting end
Where will you be
What life will you tend

Will you let it pass you by
As you escape in fun
The sullen reality
soaked and drunken

When the pain of the hangover
Awakes you from dreamy slumber
What will you do
Can you onward lumber

Or was there a plan at all
When you crash on land
No backup plan
As you sob on the sand

What really should be
The point of life
Is to make forward progress
Without too much strife

You should make life fun
As like when you dream
But unlike the slumber you seek
Improvement, goals reached, you gleam

Escape from reality
Is not unnecessarily a problem
When that becomes the reality
Thats where you have a problem

When reality hits
Will you still have fun
Or will you cower in insolance
Not put the necessary work in

A call for you
A call for all
Hopefully when reality hits
You shall not stutter, stagger and fall.

A Quick Quip

If life slams a door of opportunity on you, it does not mean the door is locked, so open it!

Ramifications Are Such

Decisions
whether pursued
or laid upon
have been made
will make an impact
whether
that be positive
or negative
only time will tell

One thing of note
something very sure
it provides a stepping stone
a forum upon to move
forward or backward
moving out of the shadows
or retracing steps mistaken

Most decisions
will lead to ramifications
these consequences
we shall learn
the joys of good choice
and the sorrows of wrong decisions

Take heart
because that is how one grows
sprouts new leaves
to overcome those stumps
for progress
higher and higher
to better heights

If steps are mistaken
usually and quite often
reason will lead us back
to the right path
even though
the sorrows seem hopeless

Thats why there is change
the final conclusion of choice
of the decisions we make
the ramifications are such.

Internal Affairs

A scrutinizing look
at the foundations throughout
the structure of myself
reveals a cracked foundation
a well-worn support
and a rusty framework
that is at any moment
ready to fall upon itself

The cosmetic picture
that covers the outside
seems neatly kept
organized finely
and the smile seems
oh so friendly
without a care in the world

However the structure beneath
can fall now at a moment's notice
taking that fashionable laugh
that giggling joy
and the bubbling false warmth
upside down
and over the cliff

Internally the affairs
are at a disarray
with only one true hope
holding on firmly and with a hard grasp
like a faint light
at the end of the tunnel
to soothe the nightmare that is

The hope of love
that pain should have never come
to such dire straits
but I am to take part in that blame
for ill-conceived communication
belligerent action
that leads to my destruction

I must rebuild
start anew
to prove to You
what I have always believed
that internal affairs has proven
through deep investigation
that I still love you

The consequences I bear
are mine so fair
my failings have lead me here
I must walk in the mist of darkness
through the shameful tunnel
looking deeply crucially
for that sparing light to ease the pain
for that one true love
I believe that will be present
waiting for me in my transformation
of my internal affairs.
