This blog started with the promise of maybe helping find answers. Discover something within ourselves. The thought, "People would like to hope that they will know what to do with every situation that comes their way. True?? We would like to think so but the truth is life is more complicated than we know" has only lead us to the thought that yes life is more complicated than we know. And all we can do is let time take us through this roller coaster. So through the ups and downs we write to share where time takes us.

To Be Heard

I don't just want to be heard.
I want a response, discussion, resolution, clarity, understanding.
I want to be remembered.

I don't want to be just seen.
I want to be seen as more than just a face and piece of meat.
I want to be respected.

I don't want to just dream.
I want to feel, experience, and taste the world around me.

Please don't bring me down today.
Do not peel my layers just to burn them. Accept me. Move us along without spitting in my face. Think. Think in more than just your one being.
There's more to this world so open up your eyes!
Open your ears!

Why is there just black and white for you?
What more can I do?
I try
I try
I try
....but I feel like I fail to paint the sky in colors over you.

I don't want to just be heard.
I want to be understood.
