    Alone again.

    Reflections of a Happy Man
    soaking six feet into sediment
    I am settlin' into a new mindstate,
    I am not great.
    Oh yes I have my flaws.
    Perfection gives me fits,
    So I am forced to fiddle with reality.

    Hope is at home snoring
    While frustration is coming down,
    Pouring.
    I try to outrun the depression;
    But look, its gaining on him.
    I try to dodge the tears;
    But look, its raining on him.

    Feet unfirmly planted in this muddy sand.
    Here I stand.
    I am what I am.
    No longer can I be,
    A Reflection of a happy man.

    Hard to keep the the facade intact when time and realizations settle in. 10 from me.

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
