\"Winged<\/p>\n

I<\/span>t is often said that trouble, trouble, at any rate, that doesn’t kill <\/span>us, makes us stronger.<\/p>\n

But there are times when you’d trade all life’s hard-learned lessons and ennobling sorrows for a little rest<\/span>… a break in the action… the pain subsiding into a dull ache… even for a little while.<\/p>\n

You slog forward because you think you remember somewhere that to fall behind is to succumb… to fall in the snow… to be forgotten because no one else has the strength to remember one more fallen comrade.<\/p>\n

The point of survival is soon forgotten and it<\/span> becomes a habit… or the struggle toward it… the weary momentum.<\/p>\n

Ah… hell… it’s a beautiful faux spring day here in Southern California and I live near the beach. Y’all can listen to this song — <\/span>I’m going outside…<\/span><\/p>\n

\n2 Dazed 2 Care <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Turn down this street
\nback down that alley
\nthere is no escape and there is no stalling<\/p>\n

The future is here
\nand it’s more of the past
\nAll I remember
\nis falling and falling<\/p>\n

Leave me alone<\/span>
\n just let me be<\/span>
\n with wounds this deep<\/span>
\n they just have to bleed<\/span><\/p>\n

Desperation is short supply
\nI used up my panic in the crises last year
\nIt’s hard to worry, it’s hard to care
\nwhen you’re so tired of anger
\nand you’re so tired of fear<\/p>\n

Leave me alone…<\/p>\n

<\/span> No point in crying, laughing or dreaming
\nno point in love, no % in fear
\ndesperation is in short supply
\nso tired of anger
\n2 dazed 2 care<\/p>\n
