Another Day In Paradox

I came to Key West to:

de-stress, improve my health,

experience peace, joy,

happiness, and, of course, love

(from within and from without);

be more creative, find a muse,

feel inspired, get fired up,

and write, write, write!

Instead, over time I’ve

found myself becoming more:

sedentary, withdrawn, isolated,

reclusive, uninspired, depressed,

and, of course, an alcoholic,

(from sunrise to beyond sunset);

disappointed, frustrated, fed up,

and sick, sick, sick!

Despite occasional unpleasant

shit and negative energy of others,

the universe is still a wonderful

place in which to live, and life

for me will once again be better

after I’ve detoxified my body,

mind, and spirit of negativity,

surrounded myself only with

beautiful souls, and simply

roll with the flow!
