Being cross

A look at mind sets and where they can lead.



I've been digging myself in deep
deep in to the pit of sorrow
I've been trained to believe
that being cynical and aggressive
is the righteous way
ha ha yeah, the way to go
my mentor said
were on the way to death
so let's get some respect
neo gangsters
is a state of mind.
Easy to download
push and play.
Now I realized it was me
who has been played
being cool is just another word
for being a fool.
I was full on and in
a religious cult
with no name
Pain and sorrow
is the focus.
Being cross
the norm.
But now I dropped out
I'm feeling great
at first, it wasn't easy.
but now so much stuff
really really please me.
Happy just being myself
now I laugh,
it's like nothing else.

I spent years and years suffering anger, my first posts on this site were wrought with it, funnily enough it took a major incident in my life to force me to re-evaluate what is important to me and what makes me tick .


I learned to let it go and try and focus on the positive. Now I sometimes fall short but that is not from lack of trying.

Gone are the days when people would simply join a group and therapeutically scream into pillows.

Now you can buy crappy music about just about anything from self induced hostility, to culture clash gang warfare shoot ups and other uninviting topics. Brainwashing the young has taken a toll and now what were experiencing are the results of the after quake.

That is about all we have to work with.


We either learn and move forward or we sit still and spin.


I am happy that you can see a positive ....
