I Am Stonehenge

Looking down the barrel at the firing squad. A jumble of people thrown
together to forge some semblance of authority. Halfwits and maroons
across the board. Hurling negativity, like it will turn all sparkly
with the revelation that no one is perfect. Yet, perfection is not
sought. It is up to each person to do their own job and not seek its
completion by others. Bashing the youth as they stare them down, their
condescension burning in the souls of the clueless.

It is just beyond me how an inquisition of this magnitude was assembled
for something so seemingly trivial. Then, it is supposed to have been
up to me to "fix" things. These people got the wrong gal, especially
since I don't believe that there is anything broken. It was almost
laughable to see their expressions when I so graciously reminded them
that what they were asking of me was still under their job description.


Seriously, we all have enough to manage throughout the day. Did they
actually expect that a show of force would bully me into submission.
They could think or say what they want, but that doesn't mean that I'm
going to lie down and let them stomp on me with a smile. It will take
more than their boldfaced intimidation tactics to knock me down. Do
people actually cower to them? They must, or they wouldn't keep trying
to assert their assumed superiority.

Boy, if they think they are going to call me in there on a regular
basis, they are in for quite the fight. Once is more than enough for
me. Perhaps they should focus on solutions instead of bombarding
people with all the minuscule "problems" that really aren't even worth
the time of mentioning. Talk about being focused on the wrong thing

Otra letras más... sin un nombre aún.

Camino hacia atrás en mi juego, un hombre me dijo:

“Continua con tu manera, no podrás dar un solo paso”

Apartado por barreras que te protegen

Déjame tomar el control, déjame tomar el control

Cuento secretos al viento

El es más seguro que cualquier otro

Se los lleva y los esconde, lejos para oírlos

Gasto mi tiempo, enmarcando tus recuerdos

Los mantengo cerca, para seguir con mi camino

Recordando mis penas, recordándome mi manera

Apartado por ti, déjame tomar el control

Déjame tomar el control

Secretos hacia el viento, lejos y se los lleva

Floto hacia abajo, me hundo de a poco

Esperando tu rescate, esperando que llegues.

(La parte "dejame tomar el control" es de la canción Untitled de Thom Yorke tocada con su grupo Atoms for Peace... bueno es solo esa frase, el resto es creación mia.)

I See the Rain

Gray skies and broken rain

Sliding down the windshield

A lifeline ever-changing

droplets, in contact they merge

Yet, some sit lonely, isolated

Only to be sucked into the paths of others

Left behind or swept away


As I sat it the parking lot watching the rain on the windshield, I wasreminded of how much it reminded me of people, of life. There are somedrops that sit stagnant, almost like they are afraid to move. They areoften alone. Though, at times they are grouped with others when,without warning, they separate as one joins the crowd and leaves theother longing. A little shove from one nearby and the journeycontinues. Sometimes there are many drops running alongside. Othertimes the seem so tentative that they could be motionless. They cantrickle slowly or rush to an unknown destination. Where there are twostreams nearby, it is difficult to tell if the larger will devour thesmaller, or if the smaller will draw life from the faster flow, thusreigning it in. It is never the same path twice. So many similaritiesand so many differences. It was beautiful and a bit sad. I'd still bewatching the drama unfold, had it not been for me getting swept away bythe crowd.

Bad Friend, Better Mom

I've been thinking a lot about this family I was once close to. We have only spoken or seen each other a few times in the last couple of years. I love these people very much. A part of me would like to so much more of them. Unfortunately, a bigger part of me needs to shelter my children from all the drama. There are intermittent prescription pills involved, which saddens me. They have had help on many levels. I really do wish that I could be there for them, and I am as much as I can. I check on them and email them, but it is difficult to stop by. Their kids are out of control and they are stuck in a bad situation. I don't trust them around my kids because they can't trust themselves to be vigilant as adults around children should be. I miss them, the sober them. It is that side of them that is adored by me. The rest is too much. I feel guilty for not being who they can lean on through this. I used to be. It all changed when I saw her going through my husbands pain pills trying to sneak a new bottle into her pants. I was disgusted and heartbroken that she would do that, especially since my husband had just been in a severe accident and had three surgeries a week before. He might have needed those pills. As it turned out, we still have most of them in the back of the cabinet, since he is very stubborn and hates pills. But the fact that she did not consider his sever pain while trying to steal from us, well, that did it. I wish her the best. I pray for her kids. I keep in touch with people that I know who know them, and of course I email. But I can't be in that. It's not good for me and definitely not good for my children. I love these people, but I love my kids more. Still I have guilt. Even in the middle of all this, when she found out I was pregnant a ways back, she saved all her baby's stuff. I didn't need to buy anything but diapers and socks until he was four months old. I was very thankful. It was great and these people are very giving. They are just troubled. I think shame over the pill incident has kept them from seeking us out more regularly. I should reach out more. Fear stops me. I'm being a bad friend, but a good mom. Is there a way to be both. I feel like I don't have enough fun time with my kids as it is, so how would I justify leaving to visit them without the kids. I hurt and I pray for them.
