Paint It Black

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and theyre all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens evry day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts
Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin comes

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm,...
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah!
Listen to this one for Rolling stones, and if it doesn't make adrenaline rush through your viens...mmm....just go see a shrink...

Life On Display

What happened to those days when I felt I was larger than life… when I felt like Alexander the great… where did these days go…now I don’t feel as strong or able as I used to be before…not a bit...

Now…and I’m saying now…coz right now while I’m writing these words…I feel that it’s the climax of this feeling…I would never feel this weak or helpless again…never…

You know  when you feel that life is surrounded by a glass display case…and everything you want from life,love is trapped in there…and then you find out that actually you’re the one trapped …you’re trapped outside…outside where it’s cold and empty… craving for a simple taste of life as it used to be…

Has life grown this harsh…or am I growing soft…wait a minute …I know the answer…I just wasn’t tough enough to keep up with life…

Accidental poetry…

With a feint feeling of you wanting to seize existing just for the night… take a break of all the worries in your life…comes a little numbing sensation…that starts to grow rapidly in between your ribs… you feel like your not going to be able to contain that…but still you try to cope…and what else can you do …you’ve been coping all your life…

 

Accidentally…and I think it’s the only word that you can use in such a situation… it hits you…you’ve been burying yourself beneath all those worries…and they’ve been accumulating just one layer over the other… and you feel like you’re being crushed under all that pressure… and in a moment of self reflection…the answer is shimmering there …clear as a blue sky on the first days of spring…you should LET GO…let go of that shitty job where get so much done…but get so much less in return…just let go and take a chance…play the odds…and maybe things would fall right where you want them…or maybe not…but what the heck…why worry…that’s what taking a chance is all about… let go of worrying about family and loved ones and future plans … not because you don’t care …but because you do…and if you don’t let go of those worries you’re going to wreck yourself…and you’ll never be suitable for any of those mentioned above …

 

Sooooooo… It hits you…what you need to feel better is not seizing your existence…it’s just trying to exist to the fullest… trying to live life to the maximum…enjoy those moments that you have before you’ll need to worry for the rest of your life… and then plans start to fall into place…of what you should do for the next couple of months…you’re not planning…the plans are just falling into place… like a beautiful poem that keeps you dazzled and breathless for a couple of moments after reading it… and that’s what I call ACCIDENTAL POETRY…
