Demons fighting in my sleep
Monsters rising from the heap
Nightmares keeping me awake
More of this, I cannot take
Wake up and I figure out
How to get rid of self-doubt
I will have a big yard sale
Set up everything to scale
Put my feelings on display
Everything must go today
Buckets of false hope for free
Jealousy in packs of three
Complex webs of greed hand-spun
Take the hatred, I am done
Get my worries, two for one
Bottled sadness, I want none
Stacks of guilt, I’m done with these
Paid all my subscription fees
What is left I will discard
Should not really be that hard
When my yard is all cleared up
Of this life I’ve had enough
I will pack up all my bags
Dress myself in simple rags
To the beach, I will head out
Take the solitary route
Won’t have anything to hide
Joy and I’ll enjoy the ride
Smile and sing along the way
Up until we reach the bay
Sip some sunshine from a glass
Watch the happy faces pass
Wash the remnants, dark and grim
In free waters, I shall swim

Wonderfully written. I really enjoyed it. It is time to get rid of all negative junk. I may have a sale of my own.
Thank you, Maggie. It’s never to late to put negativity on sale. 🙂
I think I’d like to take mine and chuck it all in the dump!! I don’t think it’s fit for sale at all. I like the idea of “de-cluttering” it all though. Ah, if only it was so simple?!?
There’s always a way. Don’t let negativity drag you down: you and only you decide how you want to feel today. Just wake up and decide to stay happy for the rest of the day; it makes all the difference! 🙂
I try my best! I think getting outside and being surrounded by the simple beauties in nature is my way of pushing any negativity aside. It’s a truly beautiful and astounding world out there!
Exactly my thoughts; when the going gets tough, head out to the beach. =)
Kos, Greece, next week 😉
Enjoy the trip! =)
I will indeed 😀
