Dogs barking
mammoth bees buzzing
The clunk of a workman’s van
The low, distant rumble of a jet
A child singing
A man whistling
A car passing
Why is it so easy to be out there
rather than focus in here
I don’t know if I’m scared of the work
or what I’ll find

If we all had a blog,
If we all were totally honest with ourselves,
we’d see that we’re all fucked up.
If we all thought too much like I do
we’d all find things wrong with ourselves
foibles
traumas
quirks
ticks
conditions
disorders
addictions
manias
shortcomings
holes
voids
Desire = lack = psychological need
Anger = displacement = unresolved issue
Bravado = shield = vulnerability
Depression = apathy = absence of joy
The reasons are endless,
The outcomes innumerable,
If we enact a thorough examination of psyche.
