Dark Parts

Things were said,
things were done,
Without a second thought,
you cast that stone,

Sinking deeper
Not trying to swim,
Not giving up,
Not giving in.

Can't go forward,
Can't stop, turnaround,
Welcome to the dark parts,
Now that you're underground.

You hit the bottle,
And the truth comes out,
Speaking your mind,
Leaving no room for doubt.

All of you fears,
Ghosts from the past,
Can't get away from them,
You're in their grasp.

I retreated,
I pulled back,
I'm not about to,
Get caught up in that.

Can't go forward,
Can't stop, turnaround,
Welcome to the dark parts,
Now that you're underground.

I keep my distance,
Guard my heart,
You may never make it in,
To the deepest parts.

Skeletons in the closet,
Don't open that door,
Bones will spill out,
All over the floor.

Hush keep quiet,
The Reaper's on his way,
If he slips on by,
You'll live another day.

Can't go forward,
Can't stop, turnaround,
Welcome to the dark parts,
Now that you're underground.

    Ooh, that's pretty dark. I get the impression someone had a few too many and said some things they shouldn't have.

    This was really dark, but I liked it, especially the line about not opening the door for skeletons in the closet because bones will spill out. Very clever and very vivid description.

It's been a while since I have posted and I apologize for the time in between what I've posted recently. Having been traveling with my career, many times I'm exhausted when my head hits the pillow at night. I'll try to do better this year. Pixie Promise.

Teach a man to fish

The old saying " Give a man a fish, he'll eat for the day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. " has to do with teaching someone to do something. But what if they don't want to learn? It can be frustrating for anyone, how you can make something so easy for someone else to do and yet they still manage to screw it up. I know a few people in life like this. You can give them specific, written directions to follow, step 1, step 2, step 3 and so on... everything but hold their hand or do it for them. They still manage to blow it. There are people who leave you scratching your head in wonder, if they really just don't get it? They try, they honestly do and yet they fall short over and over, time and again. They either rush thru things, ignore things, skip things or try to just finish it now and come back later to clear up rather than do it right from the beginning. Um, no. It doesn't always work that way. I have always asked- if you didn't have ...

Bad Pixie? Yep, that's me!

I have recently found a website that is authored by a woman who is dealing with how her life has been changed following her husbands traumatic brain injury. In reading through her notations of his behavior, outbursts, threats, and several other issues she has come to deal with as they present themselves, I can't help but notice the profound number of similarities between her husband and someone I know very well. The one major difference is the timing of the occurrance of the brain injury. Her husband behaves this way as a result of his brain injury. The person I know behaves the way they do and may recieve a brain injury (think frying pan to the head) as a result. Although I would never do it, believe me, some days it is mighty tempting... A good friend of mine shared a bit of medical insight on all of this. "Post concusion syndrome or low grade brain injuruies do have a profound impact on personality, and are very often missed when the injury involves no LOC or very sh...
