Final
Ending
Not here
I can't touch you
You are not in the earthly body you once inhabited
I don't know where you went
But you are not where you were any more
And I didn't know you were feeling so bad.
Did you go because you decided it was time?
Or were you called?
Or was it done to you?
We who are left won't know the answer, we can only ask the question
The answer died when your physical ability to talk died.
I wish you would have talked first.
But maybe thats not the story at all.
So much of your life is hidden, behind closed doors, locked windows and extra security.
For your own protection too.
I understand that. It had to be that way.
As you tried to erase every part of the daddy who was no daddy, And the childhood that was no childhood.
If you are with the angels now, rest easy in open fields
With no fear of the news
I hope no news can hurt you where you are now
And I hope you are with peace.

Sometimes, the best you have really ISN'T good enough
Not for those who feel free to judge.
And say what is with out asking what is.
Humbly, I ask,
What is it?
Because I don't know what something is if I don't ask the story teller.
And Even though I don't believe in the bible too much,
Judge not lest yea be judged does come to mind.
And no one really knows why another is doing something.
Why does a person sing?
Why does a person get on a stage and sing in front of people, risking scathing remarks, hurtful snickers, and unjust judgments?
For my own enjoyment? I am told I do this for my own enjoyment. Do I?
I'll have to look into that. I have been working for many many LONG years on treating myself BETTER than I was treated. Not abusing myself because I was abused. Not hurting myself.
So if its for my own enjoyment, well I do enjoy telling the truth. And singing is my truth. My songs might not be your truth, but that doesn't mean that there is not truth in them. And that doesn't mean they are there to be judged.
Buddhism teaches compassion. I do believe that peace real peace comes from deep compassion for self and others.
So I beg all who listen. Have compassion for yourself first. Then when you hear what I say, try to have some compassion for the simple humanity that is in me that needs to sing my song. Really, its my humanity that needs to sing.
And humanity deserves compassion.
