One petal…The others have fallen…
hidden within a stone…
yearns for the day the missing will sprout…
Rain pores…
Soaked, cold, & forgotten...
Clouds spread, it’s days feel dead..
Slowly a small shine appears from the south..
it is but just a crack of warm light..
it could hardly see it beneath the dark stone…
Knowing what’s across the small crack..
Dreaming of the day it was once surrounded near the other peddles.
One peddle…Would give anything to feel the life of that day just once more before it shrivels up & dies..
Feels nothing but the weight of the stone, nothing more…
One petal, Shrivels bit by bit, till there is nothing left but tiny pieces of of it left...
One petal...Till this day lays beneath that cold stone…that never moves…Even with the gust of strong winds, it still does not nudge...not even an inch…
Kept in the dark...
for what feels like an eternity...

sometimes i belief that i am undeserving of all the good things and recognition that come my way as a result of my accomplishments and successes. and i fear that my accompanishment and good fortune will go sour and be destroyed. and I'm not sure if the effort i put for something i want to accompanish is worth it.

how come i am like that? is there a way out? cuz i dont see any major success i have made in life. it is really disturbing. please share your opinion or successful story. thanks in advance!

This is the result of some ideas I've been kicking around--highly personal ones, but not sure if they fully work yet. This is a very early draft. I want to thank ObscureB and Margot for some invaluable pre-posting comments. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

Premature

The Birthing was like bloating
from that extra slice of cheesecake.
Nothing expansive:
the rack of lamb, red potatoes

of normal mothers with smiles,
not pained closed zippers.
It was like a gallstone,
a boring sting with no reward,

to be forgotten
not spoken above whispers.
It was astonishing
that this tinyredwrinkled thing could

breathe its wet wheezes.
No bigger than one of those asthmatic handbag
dogs, silent judges
and mocking,

pretty, pale blue bows.
There would be no cigars, handshakes,
glad slaps on shoulders.
The room filled with embarrassed grins,

vague apologies,
like sitting constipated
in a public bathroom stall
listening for each quick rattle,

each agitated
successive
Bang!
As patrons come and go.

It lingered afterwards
like a bad meal in a greasy spoon.
You paid, and paid, and paid,
too sickened to eat, too guilty to leave

the Styrofoam box behind--
The damning evidence
of leftovers
unwanted, undigested.

i was going to alter this question,slightly;but i think some of you can better see where im "coming-from" with it.
Some of you believe that for every question,there is an answer.
If you do,you will not agree with this that there are as many false answers to questions as true ones.
i and others believe this is the case because,not so much as
a faulty "vision" or dream(!),but because those who agree that
there is an answer to every question,have had much too much faith in their teaching/education;
What i mean is that they are neo-darwin-ists,probably and
realistically "without realising it".
My apologies for this little (non)questionable detail,to my genuine question"Why do you not think that ther are as many
false answers to a question as there are true ones?

How do you dispose turps used for oil painting? Can you reuse them after a while or do you just have to chuck them?

I've been using it at school for a while, but I don't actually know what they do with used turps, just that there is usually some clean stuff the next day! Now that I've got some for home I need to know!

I'm trying to find a picture to draw and it needs to be so I can put magazine pictures that I will cut out so I can make it look surreal. I need a picture before Tuesday. Cars, houses, inside of houses, etc. would be great! (I found a few, I just need to show them to my teacher and see if he approves)

Please, just throw out ideas. Anything will help. i already have the basic points such as:

with reason, you are less likely persuaded.
with reason, you may see things you may not have seen if you were biased.
with reason, you are most often correct and most people respect you.


Anything i may have missed?

In order to help, please design a book mark to unite to US instead of using the common business card.
In the front part of it, above, please place your logotype or your name, and write next: We invite you to use the motto whose author is The Noble People of America: “LET ALL OF US BECOME GENUINELY SINCERE, GRATEFUL AND RESPECTFULL OF THE ONE WHO GAVE US LIFE, TO MOTHER NATURE AND TO OURSELVES” It is accepted by all cultures, by Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindues, etc. so that by Conviction, more than by laws or threats we Live in Peace.
In the back of the bookmark, please write the sentence: Lets become conscious of the great value of Life and its Transcendence, so that by conviction, may become to be a reality the motto of this bookmark at front. By this way, we will arrive to Plenitude of Being and Existing, where there is not matter, space or time, but Plenitude in Whom Gave us Life. Then we will help US to be united again.
Please write also all your information.

Isn't it true that any sane man will refuse to go into a fire willilngly and voluntarily the second time after they've been accidentally and unexpectedly burnt once before? So why and how does one continue on a preset path that is very similar to the previous road once more with any kind of positive outlook, or hope, or strength? Consider the first time, one did indeed have these and had faith in oneself and was willing to face up to whatever was ahead no matter how challenging, only to be completely destroyed.

Let's say person M (for murder) and person A (for adultery) are married. Person M treats person A very well, but person A has an affair anyway. Person M finds out, and is so mad that person M kills person A.

Which is worse? Person A's adultery, or person M's murder of person A? Despite the question's title, the question isn't whether or not it's entirely justified, but just which is worse.

Suppose person M had some reason for not wanting to just divorce person A. Maybe person M didn't want to have to lose or share custody of the kids.

Pendulum weighs
pro's and con's of today
Strange how precisely
it indicates
Alone in the still
foretelling your will
With your eyes follow
the point to a thrill
Opening doors
that had contents unknown
Shedding new light
in that dark of your own
Suddenly sweet movement
flows through your soul
A quiet awakening
people should know
Ask all the questions,
call death by chance
And ancestry shadows
(along with you) dance.....
