Distraction

by Frances Wade...Virgo - Not entered

Take a chance and toss the dice
Choose the one for the sacrifice
Defy the consequence that accompanies sin
Wipe the slate clean and again begin

Talk about what is really screwed up
Feel the rage as it threatens to erupt
Face the reality because it will always exist
The fantasy is tempting but you must resist

The silence of the moment tantalizes you near
Focus yet distract and the serenity will appear
Remember that it can easily do a 180 around
Realize that beauty resides in the lack of a sound

Dismiss the hands that push you too fast
Each separate event cannot avoid the past
Normally you know it wouldn't blur like this
You are captured in a single frame and unable to progress

Gather all your cards and refuse to deal
The tendency toward denial will always appeal
Admit the insanity but don't let it out
Work with the cause because you know what it's all about

All good may be found when you contemplate
Use your powers of evil to manipulate
Duplicate the actions done well before
Envision the goal and the peace to restore

You must use the thought or an idea to compel
Nevermind universal notions that claim it's to dwell
Benefit from the revelations that are bound to occur
Reduce the anxieties b/c you will not be what you were

Form your own footsteps because you need not fit a mold
What is done is confusing so it will not be sold
Don't ever long for the gift to be lost
Obtaining the normalcy is never worth the cost

So here you go to explore again
Out with the old and fresh wounds to mend
Express how it is and don't ever retract
And if the struggle becomes too heavy...disassociate and distract.

Reason for writing:

    Contradiction, insanity, new beginnings.
