Contemplations: PS–It’s Not About You!


contemplations and life observations / Monday, November 14th, 2011

It’s funny. Sometimes I have writer’s block for days…weeks. Other times, it just flows out of me like water. I have no idea where this came from, because everything in my life is not really that complicated. My life is fine, good, actually, but there must be something deep within, or a subconscious that I am not aware of that makes words like these flow out of me. I get my inspiration from everywhere, and half the time it has nothing to do with my life, everything to do with what I just watched on TV, a song I just heard, or a problem someone else in my life is having. Geez, I can get inspiration from a door knob. It’s ridiculous. I get ideas in the most inappropriate places, like an obit or a crazy news story.

But my favorite part is when people that I know think I am writing about them. Think that my over-analytical prose are about them, or someone they know, or affect them in some way where they think I am writing about them. It cracks me up. If only I spent as much time thinking about other people as I do me! 🙂

So here is another prose for you. Has nothing to do with anything. Or does it? (Have fun over-analyzing that one…for I’m the only one who knows the truth!—and PS—I am usually making it all up in my head!)

Not gonna over analyze the situation
Just gonna live my life the way I can while I’m young
Not gonna mess around
Cause clarity is found
Not gonna over analyze the situation

The time has come for me to take a step back
to stop analyzing the truth that comes from telling lies
to you I owe nothing
to me I owe everything
take a beat
and breathe it in.

Complicate is easy to do
A simple concept in all that is new
the mind, she flows
with false impressions of you
Obscure the truth in order to enjoy this life
Is not a way out it seems

Tempted by the words you make
Motivated by the hearts you take
We’re more alike than you claim
It’s curious how we’re one in the same.

Not gonna over analyze the situation
Just gonna live my life the way I can while I’m young
Not gonna mess around
Cause clarity is found
Not gonna over analyze the situation
