Favorite Quote:
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
Mark Twain

"You did in your twenties what you knew how to do. And when you knew better, you did better. And you should not be judged for the person who you were, but for the person you are trying to be and the woman that you are now."
--Maya Angelou speaking to Oprah Winfrey


Frustration is the child of confusion and disappointed expectations.
The ideas try to come out but the words will not formulate themselves in my brain.
There are no real solutions for imaginary questions.
My ideas are stuck behind a door they cannot open because of the
Lubricious door knobs.
Frustration is bridge toward insanity where the population is plenty.
It is like the basketball that dances on the rims of hoops,
The soccer ball that dilly dallies between the grasses of pride and shame.
They are lifeless seeds waiting to
Be dropped into the dirt.
The dirt waits to bear life but there is no intermediary to fulfill both desires.
The words I try to unleash
Are stopped by unidentified strangers.
The obstacles are fear, hurt, anger, and disdain
But, they are never out into light.
Whatever they are, strangers, obstacles or even aliens, they go treading my path of dreams
Without a rustle of the leaves.
I am in constant remembrance
For what patience and energy there used to be.

I get easily stressed out and I get frustrated with myself about not being good enough. Even though the task may be minute and miniscule, I get so absorbed with perfection.
