Wake up from this slumber
Take off your bitterness
Put on a new day
Live for something greater
Run into the kaleidoscope
And let it take over
Forget about what was done
Hand their actions back to them
And let it be over
Find your place among greatness
Know you belong here
Refuse to believe anything else
Sing to the Heavens
Move out of the unknown shadow
Paint a different canvas
Look away from the liars
Make a triumphant comeback
Debut your mended soul
Knock over the roadblocks
Or simply go around them
Believe in fairy tales
But beware the villains
Claim your birthright
Be a Robin Hood of prose
Dream once more
Breathe in the aroma of life
Open that locked door
Allow yourself to move forward
And don’t expect anyone to catch up to you.
Wow! This spoke to me

You hit a new height with this one, Ginger!
Daymn! Thanks, Guap! I appreciate that veddy veddy muchly..
That was absolutely fantastic!! Just what I needed today!
Yay! Thank You!
Straight from the soul …. let the peering through the door adds the dimension of challenge.
Yes, thank you, it is straight from the soul!
… and from a neighbor.
Ginger, how can I…. It’s like you occasionally think “well, it’s time to blow people’s minds again with the first thing that pops into my head” – and then you do it. So thank you for blowing my mind. Also blowing my mind is that my name is nearly the same size as David Beckham’s in your Tags section. But this isn’t about me – it’s about you. I loved this poem.
Ha! Thanks! If I had describe what this post was, it would be exactly as you said- this popped into my head today and voila!
And, I bet your ‘tag’ would be bigger if you were an underwear model for H & M like my beloved David is… JUST SAYIN…
Oh, my ‘tag’ is pretty big.
Better send your test shots to H & M corporate office then..
LOL
You knocked my socks off… wish I had washed my feet first…
No need for clean feet here- my floors are already dirty!
Thanks!
It is more the smell… but good to know…
This is very good…for a smart ass.
My ass is soooo fucking smart!
At least one end of you is…
Oh! Good form, daddy, goooood trooper form.
When I turn the tv back on, I’m canceling your show. Joyfully.
I have a show?
Not any more!
I see. I’m disappointed that I seem to have lost a show I didn’t know I had.
I don’t think you’re dissapointed. Like at all. Hmph.
I am. I truly am.
Good stuff, great manifesto for living. oh by the way David Beckham was sledding in the park near me the other day, I only read about it though.
OHMYGAWD,JOE HOOVER!!!!
DAVID BECKHAM?
SLEDDING?
NEAR YOU?
OHMYGAWD, JOE HOOVER!!!

Excuse the link being from a trashy bigoted newspaper!
The main gossip column tart from One Direction has also been hanging around my neighbourhood lately. All these celebrity sightings are going to send my rent soaring!
How can it be a trashy newspaper if David Beckham is in it?? Sigh.
Now I heart him even more as I love sledding- WHY WEREN’T YOU SLEDDING, JOE HOOVER? You could have gotten the snapshot of my beloved David Beckham!!
If I tell my 12 yo about that One Direction dude, she’ll be on the 1st flight to London! Do you guys have an extra bedroom? How bout a couch for her to sleep on? Gah.
I do have a spare room! I am too scared to sled, my friend broke their leg just walking the other day (drunk mind you)
The newspaper whilst may be glorious for printing the Beckkers usually reserves it’s column inches to create hysteria about immigrants/gay people taking over the country.
Then I guess IT IS a hack of a newspaper! Assholes. They don’t deserve to have my beloved David on their pages!
Ummmm, broke his leg while walking? He/she should have been sledding, then, no walking, only sitting…
I know, at least get a cab
