The Best of Me

Funny

Another throwback... enjoy!!!

It's funny how life works out;

You die over something for years

And when you finally let go if your fears

That something reaches out and grasps you.

It's funny how people see things;

Either thinking that the world needs to be safe

Or living life through a screen;

How some words shouldn't be used

But are used anyway.

It's funny how thise words work out;

In nearly any conversation you speak

In nearly any book you read

Those words are there.

Even in religious standpoint,

Though not there for pride

They echo in warning.

I suppose they try to protect me

By speaking against

What books I read

What people say,

But all they do

Is push me closer to a fate...

The very fate they try to sheild me from

The very one I fear, yet love.

Where words, vulgar as they are

Sprout and grow like weeds.

I fear these words,

Yet I use them;

Not for joy

But in frustration and anger;

And yet I love the people

That surround me with these words

And I feel the urge to

Protect them, to save them.

I guess I think funny,

But I know that when I let go

They will trace me back again

Because that is the funny way

Life works out.
