Patterns II

by Jay (Aries) - Not entered

Playing in the slime
is how I bide my time
In my life I seek pain
Might as well stand in front of a train.

I choose the things in my life
then I wonder about the conflict and strife
Life does not seem to work for me
Totally out of control ‘cause patterns I do not see.

Around and around I seem to go
I’ve been here before, this I know
How do I break my circle of life
I’m really sick of heartache, conflict and strife.

It is not others that cause my mess, it’s just me
the same things over and over again, but I’m too blind to see
Who’s fault is it, who is to blame
When no matter what I do, life remains the same?

I try to change, things, in my life
But I just keep getting the same old heartache, pain and strife
Do you suppose what I forgot to change is me
Maybe I am the Pattern -- is that what I’ve been too blind to see?

So it is Written ...
So it is ...
