Sitting at the Red Light

     How much louder can I pump up this music to drown out the noise in my head?  A little....louder.  Look at that guy over there.  He thinks he is so cool with his hair all done up like that.  A little...louder.  You like that?  Ugh.  The brisk air.  Might as well roll up my window.  Oh, but hey, they need to hear my music so I might as well roll it down just a crack.  A little...more.
     What a long drive this has been.  Back and forth I go:  home...work...work...home.  Can you believe that prick tailgating me?  The nerve!  Why can't people just have a little decency out here?  That quick stop I made to signify that he should back off did the trick.  Oh, how much power I have by doing something so simple.
     Hopefully, today will be an easy day.  This music should definitely motivate me.  I can feel the frequencies vibrating down my spine.  This coffee doesn't seem to work like it used to.  As long as I wear this smile, I can squeeze out whatever energy might be lying dormant within. This music is such a good segue between home and work.  Such a smoke screen it provides.  That, and the time and distance.  Time yields forgetfulness.  Distance keeps the external black dogs from getting to me.  They can't reach me.  But what of my own black dog?  Oh, nice beat!
     Why is that guy looking at me?  Who does he think he is?  As soon as this light turns green, I'm gonna step on it so he can't pass.  That'll show him.  Eat my dust!  Good grief!  How long is this light going to be red?  The city surely needs to come out here and work on the timing.  If I close my eyes, maybe the light will change faster.  I've seen it done in a movie.  What movie was that?  Oh, nice riff!
     Oh, the clouds are coming in.  Looks like its going to rain again!
     What is that jerk back there honking at?
       ...Oh...

Les Projections Mentales

Mindful chassés Amidst quixotic skirmishes Riding abstract waves - En pointe flourishes Disciplined glissandos Along illumined keys Measured tremolos Vibrating Gaia's seas Orchestrated precision Whirlpools twist Nature's decision At the turn of a wrist Enigmatic code Manifests intention From Water's abode Emerges dimension - J.

Depression

  Why do I become enraged? Why is happiness so far out of reach? Why can't I at least love myself? Why can't I appreciate my existence? Why am I tormented? Why do I ruin everything I love? Why does it feel foreign to be kind? Why do I avoid people or push them away? Where has all my energy gone? Where did joy escape to? Where can I find some strength? Where did all the time go? When is the last time I laughed? When will I stop faking contentment? When can I rest from this painful emptiness? When will I figure it out? How can I be so rude? How do others see me? How do I fix myself? How do I find refuge? I'm graceless. I'm unlovable. I'm repulsive. I'm fake. How I wish someone would just... Hold my face and assure me I am none of those things. I only want to be forgiven and understood. Perhaps I am too far gone to save. What has gone so terribly wrong in me  That I'm uncapable  Of steering my ship Through the changing tides? Why do I wreck it instead  And blam...
