BORING

There is essentially nothing out there,
or here,
that is boring.

There are no boring times and places,
no boring people,
no boring books,
no boring movies,
no boring songs,
and no boring poems...
not even this one,
no matter how dry this might seem.

There is only the bored state of mind -
that fails to mindfully appreciate,
to enjoy...
this moment,
no matter what it presents.

The bored mind yearns to get away,
to an ever elusive better time and place,
that is always somewhere else,
that is always "missing" here.

Don't kill boredom.
Don't kill time.
Don't kill the moments of your life.
Realise the richness of now - NOW.


TRUTH HURTS?

The truth hurts,
sometimes.
But it only hurts you
as much as you refuse to accept it.

Not seeing the problem,
of not facing the Truth,
that you have a tooth decaying away,
will only cause you more pain.

[alright alright... i get it i get it. i'll learn to accept it... i'll try. i'll give it up. i don't wanna hurt no more.]
