Good afternoon, friends. I am very tired today. Very tired for a long time now. I don’t believe it’s quite coming to a head. This is just how it is now. I won’t ever give up, of course. I refuse. I will keep going. Keep doing my best. It doesn’t get easier, but it does get easier. My dreams will not be just dreams. Perception is reality. We can all take a lesson from that, I think. Finding myself never stops. Finding yourself never stops. That’s the fun part. Somewhat sad poem for you today. Maybe I’m easier to figure out than I think.
Self-Sufficient
You want me to be honest?
You want me to tell the truth?
I am tired.
I am spent.
I just need to go home and sleep.
Go home and be in my bed.
To stow and hide away my heart and mind.
To hold my broken heart in your hands.
How it must be to know such power.
Intoxicating, perhaps.
I only wish you would care for it
Cherish it, the way a lover would.
Sew me up
Put me back together
Pick up all my pieces but you’re missing the tape
I don’t hurt anymore
Just the slow thumping in my chest
My blood still flows just the same
Somehow it comes to pass that I breathe without lungs
Pump blood with no heart
See with no eyes
And touch with no hands
All things I give to you freely
That you take and take without recess
So that now I have nothing left
Except that I do
I am breathing
I am Seeing
And I am feeling

Re “Perception is reality. We can all take a lesson from that, I think.”
Well, the lesson to take from that is that whoever promotes the meme “perception is reality” is, wittingly or unwittingly, spreading destructive self-defeating propaganda.
The MISLEADING FAKE mantra of “perception is reality” is a product of a fake sick culture that has indoctrinated its “dumbed down” (therefore TRULY ignorant, therefore easy to control) people with many such manipulative slogans. You can find the proof that perception is commonly NOT reality in the article “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room –The Holocaustal Covid-19 Coronavirus Madness: A Sociological Perspective & Historical Assessment Of The Covid “Phenomenon””…. https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html

““We’re all in this together” is a tribal maxim. Even there, it’s a con, because the tribal leaders use it to enforce loyalty and submission. … The unity of compliance.” — Jon Rappoport, Investigative Journalist
