alienated

comfortable beneath this sheath of skin,
I wonder where the rest of you have been
to be so crazed with the obsession
to win a futile race that leads to nowhere
on this mudball we call earth.

I can definitely relate to the 'what the f**k are we doing?' feeling every now and then. You dangle a carrot in front of a mule, and he's stupid enough to plow the lower 40 trying to get it. I oftentimes feel that I'm that mule.... (hug) hope your week gets better. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"All day and night music, a quiet, bright reedsong.
